Though Las Vegas is known as “Sin City”, it can be surprisingly family- and kid-friendly if you know where to go. Las Vegas is not just for adults anymore, and that’s a fact! There is so much to see and do around the valley for families and adults on extended vacations with children. Here is our top list of family-friendly activities to do if you are bringing your family on your temporary stay to Las Vegas.
1 Las Vegas Family-Friendly Activities: Topgolf
Located at 4627 Koval Lane, at the corner of Harmon and Koval, Topgolf is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced! At 105,000 square feet, this four-level entertainment venue features some of the finest amenities such as over 120 climate-controlled hitting bays, five unique bars, 48-foot HDTVs, VIP cabanas & private suites, private event spaces, 900-person concert venue, and a whole lot more!
Throughout the years, Topgolf’s been evolving the way Vegas does golf. From its family-friendly activities (you don’t have to be 21 to enter and participate), to its late-night parties and events, they even have mouth-watering, delectable food and drinks to serve for every appetite. If you’re a big fan of sweets, you might want to have some bite of their tasty carrot cake waffles and giant pretzels. For something savory, they have variety of wings and burgers to choose from.
Las Vegas Topgolf Prices
The bay pricing starts at $30 per hour for up to six players, fully equipped with golf clubs, lounge seating, an automated ball dispenser, HDTVs, and sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip. The golf balls are micro chipped, so players can track the distance and accuracy of their shots, finally settling the score between which one of your family is really the guru on the green. For every target you hit in the outfield, you’re given extra points. Who knows maybe you’re the next Arnold Palmer in the making!?
