Is it advisable to go to Bodies The Exhibition with children?
Totally! I would dare to say that going to Bodies The Exhibition is one of the best activities if you go to Las Vegas with kids on a family vacation. The youngest ones will be equally or even more impressed than the adults with the impressive exhibition.

Main works not to be missed at Bodies The Exhibition in Las Vegas
The different rooms of the exhibition take participants through a variety of showcases and platforms where certain organs and systems are presented together, but you will also get a detailed view of each of the parts.
While it is true that in Bodies The Exhibition almost everything is interesting, some elements are more impressive than others. Here are the ones that personally caught my attention the most.
Healthy Organs vs. Sick Organs
In one room you will find what is perhaps the most revealing part of the exhibition: showcases where you can see real and healthy organs of our body placed right next to diseased organs, almost always the result of bad habits or neglect.
In a direct invitation to move away from those practices that we know are harmful to our health.
The collection includes healthy lungs placed next to lungs completely blackened by the effect of smoking; enlarged hearts as a result of overweight and finally cancerous tumors extracted from specific organs, impressive!
Real fetuses and babies.
The most sensitive can, if they want, avoid this room. Here you will see in a very graphic way the process of formation of a baby in the womb or the different stages of fetal development.
Real models with only a few weeks from conception to fully formed babies.
Irrigation system
Unlike the room dedicated to fetuses and babies, the space where the irrigation system is displayed is intriguing and fascinating in equal proportions.
Somehow the creators of Bodies The Exhibition have managed to isolate the blood supply system from other organs and present it in a very beautiful model.
How much time do you need to visit Bodies The Exhibition in Las Vegas?
Although Bodies The Exhibition in Las Vegas is highly informative, the tour is not very long and is composed of several small rooms.
Once you start the tour of each of the spaces it will take you an average of 60 to 90 minutes. It is ideal for combining into a rushed travel itinerary.

The exhibition will be open Monday through Sunday, starting at 11am. However it features slightly variable closing hours depending on the time of year and month you visit the city.

My recommendation is that, once you are clear about your travel dates, you should check the closing time before booking your tickets to the exhibition.
