"Lions, Tigers, Dolphins & More"
The 2.5-million gallon Dolphin Habitat is actually a research facility. But the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that call it home don’t put on any “shows” here per se. If you time it right, you might see trainers interacting with the dolphins via play sessions.
This is a small-scale place to enjoy an up-close view of these powerful creatures right at tank side without fighting off a ton of people to do so. An added bonus is that trainers are often on site to answer questions. We especially enjoyed the underwater viewing rooms, which offer not just a chance to cool off a bit, but amazing views of the dolphins underwater.
In addition to the dolphins, the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat also houses an array of rare (and endangered) versions of the usual big cats, including white lions and white tigers. There are also leopards and tigers, a panther, plus a nursery where the littlest additions are available for a peek.
Not a cheap way to spend a couple of hours, but a bona fide alternative to fighting the crowds usually seen at zoos and other marine parks.

"Worth the money!"
Despite being a bit pricey, this is VERY WORTH IT.
The kids get to actually touch the dolphins, bar Sea World there are very few places like that. I wish there were places like this in other cities as Vegas really isn't that kid friendly overall (and not a place I want to have my kids with me either haha). But, if you have to bring your kids there this is definitely a must visit.

"Definitely kid friendly"
I think this is such a neat place to bring the kids of any age. The kids love the fact that they can touch the dolphins (they are trained to come out of the water to be pet by humans!) and they get some education on them as well! What kid doesn't like to learn about dolphins? Luckily Vegas has some kid friendly places that the whole family can enjoy!

"One of the best things in LV for kids."
This place is one of, if not THE best place for kids in Las Vegas. It doesn't sound like much if you read the name, but there is much more than dolphins (which are really great) and a garden. There are so many animals to see. It is a zoo (though it isn't huge). The dolphins are a definite must-see. If you go during the day, you can see the trainers working with the dolphins, and if you get lucky, you could get to throw them a fish or pet one on the head. The facility is really lush, trees and plants everywhere, so it's a nice escape from the summer heat, too. Kids of all ages will love it here.

"Great experience"
While we did not travel to LV with our children, there were numerous people who did and I can see why. It is trying to become more family friendly and the secret garden is one of the reasons it is working! This was excellent to see the animals of Siegfried and Roy up close, and it is so amazing to feel like you are in a lush jungle when in actuality you are in the desert! Worth the hour it takes to go through.

"Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat "
This is a great family friendly activity in Las Vegas. We were there when our daughters were 3 and 1. This is a place to observe dolphins and white lions, white tigers, panthers, and leopards at the Mirage. You can even become a dolphin trainer for a day. My small children really enjoyed the dolphins. At the time they had a baby dolphin. I couldn't get them to leave. :) I recommend this stop for the family while visiting Vegas.
