Raising A Toddler in Las Vegas

Moving to Las Vegas can be quite the change no matter where you are coming from. Raising a family in Vegas can be another whole ball game if you don’t know your way around the city, and as 7 year resident myself and mother if 2 under two, I have come to not only learn what is available for toddlers to do, but also how to give your children all the benefits Las Vegas has to offer as you raise a family here. I have been asked by other mothers moving to Las Vegas and have no idea where to start when it comes to finding fun and safe activities or their young kids, for my suggestions. So today I am sharing a huge list of fun activities that you can do with a toddler in Las Vegas.

Everyday

Activities that you can do with young children are similar to anywhere you may have lived in the past, but in Vegas there are a lot of options in small radius. Las Vegas itself is a very small city, so you have the ability to check out a new park everyday if you really wanted to! Below I am listing some of our favorite everyday activity including parks both outdoor and indoor, shipping malls, restaurants, and hiking!

Parks: Some of My Favorites… Lone Mountain Park, Centennial Hills Park, Exploration Peak Park

Indoor Playgrounds

Downtown Summerlin

Town Square

Mt. Charleston

Interactive

Some activities that many who live in Vegas may not even be aware of are listed here. I love that these are things that are specifically targeted towards toddlers and young children. Toddler ages are such explorative and fast learning stages and so having access to activities like these is wonderful.

Some activities that may take up a larger part of the day, but are also must-dos are listed here. I have not done everything on this list yet and I am looking forward to checking them all out soon! My girls love animals so many of these are great for them!
