Located at 900 Las Vegas Blvd. North, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum includes exhibits of dinosaurs and replicas of ancient Egyptian artifacts. There also is a section dedicated to marine and African safari life. It is open daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“We have been here for 26 years and it’s amazing how many people don’t know that we’re here,” Gillespie said. “The video really drove home the variety of our offerings and really showed our diversity. The kids call us the dinosaur museum.”
Gillespie added that there was exceptionally high attendance heading into spring break.
“The museum is a great place to visit,” she said. “Many people are surprised at how big the museum is and that we have a second floor.”
Also benefiting from the video is the After-school All-stars, which provides a free comprehensive program for at-risk students in a two-hour session each day.
“All of the programs are supervised by licensed teachers,” said executive director Jodi Manzella. “They are truly invaluable programs. We got many calls from people once the video was seen by people who wanted to know how their son or daughter could get involved in the program.
“The program is a win-win for all involved.”
Manzella said After-school All-stars works with 16 different elementary and middle schools in the valley. Further information is available at www.asaslv.org and by calling 702-259-1850.
