A Rainforest to Las Vegas?

After weeks of preparation and hands-on construction, our summer traveling exhibition Rainforest Adventure is now open through August 10!

Step into a maze packed with interactive activities designed to engage all ages in the wonders of rainforest life and the importance of conservation. Guests are encouraged to explore and play their way through the exhibit. With hands-on activities throughout the exhibit, guests can fully engage their senses, making the rainforest come to life.

Keep reading for a behind-the-scenes look at how our team brought this exhibit to life, and find out how you can experience Rainforest Adventure before it leaves!

Explore the Rainforest

Throughout the maze are lots of interactive activities for guests to learn and play with. From a larger-than-life spider web, monkey bars, and even a zip line, there is something for everyone. These activations are paired with the maze itself, where guests can explore and guide themselves through the rainforest. Along the way, guests will navigate the maze by answering questions related to the rainforest, learning about animals and more.

Daniel, one of LVNHM's fantastic, hard working staff said, "My favorite part was the camaraderie we built amongst ourselves as the team that helped build it" The whole process took them 2.5 days of working with lots of metal piopes, velcro, and plastic, and other various materials to make Rainforest Adventure come to life.
