7 Family-Friendly Things To Do In Las Vegas For The Holidays

The holidays always seem packed full of things you must attend. The school function, the office Christmas party, and the endless family dinners. Do you intentionally take time to have fun during the holidays? Experiences become memories when you lean in and have fun. Gather your immediate family, friends, or neighbors for fun this holiday season. Here are 7 family-friendly things to do in las vegas for the holidays:

Down Town Summerlin Holiday Parade 

Down Town Summerlin's Holiday Parade kicks off November 18th and happens every Friday until Dec 17th! The parade features festive floats inspired by your favorite holiday movies, dancers and characters, snow and Santa! All shows are free and open to the general public.

 

The Glittering Lights at the Motor Speedway 

One of the best parts about the Christmas season is the Christmas lights! The Glittering Lights is the largest holiday light show drive-thru in Nevada with a live nativity! Grab hot cocoa and coffee and enjoy this experience with the whole family! 

 

Christmas at Canyon Ridge 

This Christmas Eve, bring the whole family and invite a friend to celebrate the birth of Jesus together at Canyon Ridge! This is the perfect time to join in on what God is up to here in Las Vegas. There is space for you at Canyon Ridge with multiple service times to attend or volunteer at for you and your kids. 

 

Enchant 

Enchant has many holiday activities to choose from! There's a walk-through maze with lighted tunnels. Search for larger-than-life presents, find your way to the 100-foot-tall Christmas tree, and participate in the scavenger hunt along the way. The maze even has an ice rink and a village with tiny shops! Plan a whole evening out with the family this holiday season to explore Enchant.

 

Boulder City's Santa Express

Nevada Southern Railway in Boulder City turns into the Santa Express every holiday season. Each ticket is between $30-$50, depending on which option you choose, and comes with a photo with Santa! This train ride is an excellent experience for families with young kids! All passengers visit Santa's Railyard for cookies, cocoa, and a photo op! Seats sell out fast, so book your tickets early!

 

Volunteer with Casa's Christmas Store

One of Canyon Ridge's community outreach partners is Casa De Luz. Every Christmas season Casa hosts a Christmas store to help their neighbors with Christmas gifts for their families. This is a great opportunity to volunteer with the whole family! Take this opportunity to talk to your kids, family, coworkers, and/or friends about giving back to the community and serve together!

 

Magical Forrest at Opportunity Village 

The Magical Forest is a winter wonderland with millions of sparkling lights, exciting rides, great food, and endless holiday cheer.

Every dollar spent at the Magical Forest goes towards programs and services for over 3,000 people with disabilities at Opportunity Village.

 

The holidays are a perfect time to make memories with those closest to you. These are the days that turn into the stories told around tables for years to come. Who can you invite this holiday season to pause the chaos of the holiday season and make a memory?
