If you’re hoping to burn off some energy, a hike at Red Rock Canyon will get everyone out for some exercise. Kids love scrambling over the rocks, especially at places like the Sandstone Quarry trail, where the climbing is easy. Be on the lookout for wildlife, especially early and late in the day.

The daring members of your family (perhaps you have a teenager?) may want to try out the thrill rides at the Stratosphere Tower. Feel like being dangled or spun 1,000 feet above the Strip? How about shot into the air? If you’re feeling more like a roller coaster, the New York-New York’s coaster will zoom you around the faux skyline ofNew York.

At the Springs Preserve and The Chuck Jones Experience, visitors can be educated and entertained. Museums and hiking trails at the Springs Preserve give families a look into the history of the Las Vegas Valley. The Chuck Jones Experience lets kids and adults stretch their creativity. You might feel you've learned something at Madame Tussauds, but that depends on whether or not you count gaining celebrity knowledge as a learning experience.
