Below are the best family shows running in 2026, starting with the afternoon shows that fit around naps, pool time and dinner, plus each show's age policy and day trips for when the kids have had enough of the Strip.

Before you book
- Check the age policy, not just "family-friendly." Shows set their own limits: America – The Show and Mystère are all ages, Shin Lim is 4+, O and Michael Jackson ONE are 5+.
- Kids usually need their own ticket. Most theaters require a ticket for every child, even small ones.
- Afternoon shows are easier. A 4pm show like America – The Show, or an afternoon magic show, leaves time for dinner and bed.
