The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is celebrating culture and education during its 2025 Dinosaur Ball: Mystery Marine Gala & Silent Auction.

The Dinosaur Ball is our nonprofit organization's main fundraiser that raises awareness and support for our educational programs that reach more than 80,000 people per year. This year's "Night at the Museum"-style Dinosaur Ball will be presented on Sept. 27 at the museum, located at 900 Las Vegas Blvd. North, Las Vegas, NV 89101.

100% of the funds raised through the event and its publicly accessible online silent auction will benefit our family-friendly programs that support our Smithsonian Institution-affiliated museum's mission "to inspire a better understanding and appreciation of the natural world, the sciences and ourselves through educational exhibits, programs and research." Community support and the Dinosaur Ball have been vital in our nonprofit becoming a leading Southern Nevada educational and cultural resource after opening in 1991 in the Downtown Las Vegas Cultural Corridor.
