Review of CSI: The Experience Exhibit in Las Vegas


One of the things I really wanted to do while I was in Vegas besides partying was this. I know this is super geeky but I have watched the show since it started and when I saw that there was a CSI exhibit, I just had to go. Luckily for me, my friend was on board with this.

Here is a picture of me being geeky, taken by my friend.

The exhibit was definitely not meant for adults like my friend and I, who get a bit impatient.  The exhibit is recommended for kids ages 12 and up but I think it is mostly for kids around the age of 12.  It reminded me of school science trips to Science World or the Aquarium. You know the ones where teachers give you a sheet or package that you have to fill out while you are there. It’s fun as a child but as an adult, it’s a bit boring.

This is something families can do together and for kids to learn a little bit of forensic science in a fun way.

One major thing I didn’t like about the exhibit was that they didn’t give you your CSI Diploma there. Instead if you wanted one, you put in your name and e-mail address and they e-mailed you the diploma. I felt that if I wanted one, I should have been able to get one printed free of charge. What’s the point of going through the whole exhibit with nothing to show for it?

Do I recommend going to the exhibit?
I recommend it for families or kids around the age of 12.

How much is it?
According to the website, the exhibit is $28 plus service charges, most places say approximately $30. When you get to Vegas, you will be able to get some $5 off coupons in the coupon books that people hand out on the strip. When we went there, there was a girl handing them out right by the ticket booth for the exhibit. Also, you could get the tickets from tix4tonight as well but still not as cheap as I had gotten them for (see the tip below).

Tip: I did get my ticket for less because I had been checking out the Groupon deals in Vegas before my trip and got my ticket for $15.
