12 all-ages picks the whole group will actually love — from must-see spectacles to $28 matinees. Ranked, with the real price.
A great family show is the rarest thing in Vegas: ninety minutes where the 8-year-old, the teenager, and grandma are all leaning forward at the same time. It exists — you just have to know which rooms to walk into.
So here's every show in our catalog that genuinely works for a mixed-age group — ranked, honestly. We split them the way a real family trip splits: the big-ticket spectacles worth the splurge up top, then the affordable all-ages and matinee picks below (several under $40, and perfect for younger kids and shorter attention spans). Every price is the real "from" price through Vegas Sidekick — no membership, no hidden fees. Find your group's speed and book it.
The mistake families make is booking the flashiest show on the billboard. The best family night in Vegas isn't about the biggest budget — it's the one where nobody in your group is bored, and everybody's still talking about it at breakfast. That's the whole game.
From $74
The definitive Vegas family show, full stop. Three silent blue characters, thundering drums, catchable marshmallows, and a paint-and-paper finale that lands equally for a 7-year-old and a grandparent. No words, nothing scary, all wonder. If you book one show for the whole group, book this.

From $68
The most family-friendly Cirque du Soleil show on the Strip — whimsical, funny, and jaw-droppingly athletic without a single moment that'll scare a little one. The giant baby, the mischievous clowns, and the acrobatics keep every age glued. The perfect first Cirque for kids.

From $80
The most cinematic Cirque show in Vegas — a martial-arts adventure story staged on a giant tilting, rotating platform, with fire, projections, and a real hero's-journey plot. Big, dramatic, and easy to follow, it's the pick for families with older kids and teens who want spectacle with a storyline.

From $115
Cirque du Soleil meets the King of Pop — a dance-in-your-seat celebration built on songs the whole family already knows, with surround sound, incredible choreography, and enough energy to keep restless kids locked in. The pick for music-loving families who want to leave grinning.
See Michael Jackson ONE →
From $74
The classic Vegas family dinner show — a medieval jousting tournament where you eat a whole roasted-chicken feast with your hands, no utensils, while you scream for your knight. Horses, sword fights, pyro, and full-on audience rivalry. Loud, silly, and a guaranteed hit with kids.

From $51
A fast-moving water-and-acrobatics spectacular that packs Cirque-style wow into a lower price and a shorter run time — dazzling projections, aerialists, and dancers with no dialogue to lose the kids. A big-effects night out that won't wreck the vacation budget.

From $55
The hit TV show, live — full-contact combat robots tearing each other apart in a bulletproof arena, with sparks, saw blades, and a crowd that goes nuts. Pure catnip for kids (and dads) who love machines and mayhem. The most different night on this list.

From $50
The best afternoon show in Vegas and a longtime family favorite — Mac King's clean, hilarious comedy magic (the "Cloak of Invisibility," the rope trick, the Fig Newton bit) is aimed squarely at all ages. A daytime slot that fits a family schedule and won't blow the budget.

From $46
A fast-paced sampler platter of Vegas talent — jugglers, acrobats, comedians, and daredevil acts, none on stage long enough for anyone to get bored. Great for families who can't agree on one thing, and an easy, affordable all-ages crowd-pleaser on the Strip.
See V – The Ultimate Variety Show →
From $36
A polished, feel-good tribute to the Bee Gees that turns into a full family sing-along by the second number — falsettos, disco lights, and hits even the kids will recognize from movies and TikTok. Clean, upbeat, and one of the best value music shows on the Strip.

From $34
A troupe of rescued dogs, cats, and birds doing tricks alongside world-champion juggling and gentle clowning from Gregory Popovich. Genuinely sweet, laugh-out-loud, and just about the most little-kid-friendly show in town — with a great story about second chances behind every animal.
See Popovich →
From $32
The cheapest ticket on this list and a bright, silly, big-illusion matinee built for families — the AGT semifinalist's giant props and goofy comedy are all-ages by design. At $32 it's the easiest yes in Vegas when you want a show without the sticker shock. Our best-value family pick.
See Nathan Burton →Booking one show for a mixed-age crew? Blue Man Group, every time — nobody's too old or too young for it. Traveling with little ones? Make it a matinee: Popovich's rescue pets or Mac King. And if the kids are wired for chaos, BattleBots will make you the coolest parent on the trip.
Blue Man Group at the Luxor is the definitive family show in Las Vegas — no words, no scary content, just music, color, and comedy that lands for a 7-year-old and a grandparent equally. Mystère by Cirque du Soleil is the runner-up.
Afternoon matinees are ideal for younger kids: Mac King Comedy Magic, Popovich Comedy Pet Theater (rescue dogs and cats doing tricks), and Nathan Burton Comedy Magic ($32) are all daytime, silly, and short enough for shorter attention spans.
Nathan Burton Comedy Magic ($32), Popovich Comedy Pet Theater ($34), The Australian Bee Gees ($36), and V – The Ultimate Variety Show ($46) are all genuinely fun all-ages shows for under $50 a ticket.
Mystère at Treasure Island is the most kid-friendly Cirque du Soleil show — whimsical, funny, and all-ages. KÀ (a martial-arts epic) and Michael Jackson ONE (a high-energy music celebration) are great for older kids and teens.
Tournament of Kings at Excalibur is the classic family dinner show — a medieval jousting tournament where you eat a whole roasted-chicken feast with your hands and cheer for your knight. Kids love it.
