There are 3 free family safety events on the calendar across the Las Vegas valley.
These are free family safety events in the Las Vegas Valley: car seat checks where a certified technician shows you how to install your child's seat, fire station open houses in Henderson, water safety days and National Night Out. Bike rodeos and kids ID events show up here when a group posts one.
Water safety events come in late spring and early summer: the YMCA's Healthy Kids Day at Durango Hills in April and the World's Largest Swimming Lesson at Cowabunga Canyon in Summerlin in late June.
Same address every year. Last updated November 10, 2026.

Questions parents ask
Where can I get a free car seat check in Las Vegas?
Safe Kids Clark County holds a free car seat check every month on the second Saturday, 10 am to noon, alternating between Spring Valley Hospital and Summerlin Hospital. No appointment is listed, and donations are optional. Arrive early, since the line can fill before noon. The dates are in the list above as Safe Kids posts them.
Where can I get a car seat inspection near me in Las Vegas?
Safe Kids Clark County runs its free checks at two hospitals: Spring Valley Hospital at Rainbow Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue in the southwest valley, and Summerlin Hospital on Town Center Drive. The checks alternate between the two each month, so look at the date in the list above for the one closer to you.
Do fire stations in Las Vegas hold open houses?
Henderson Fire Department holds a free open house about once a month on a Saturday, 10 am to 1 pm, each time at a different one of its 13 stations. Kids can tour the station, meet firefighters, see the fire trucks up close and watch safety demonstrations. The City of Henderson's open house page lists the next stations.
What is a bike rodeo?
An event where kids ride a small course to practice hand signals, stopping and helmet fit. When one is posted in the Las Vegas Valley, it shows up in the list above.
What is a kids ID event?
An event where parents get an ID card or kit for their child, often with a photo and fingerprints, to keep at home in case the child is ever lost. Ask the host what, if anything, they keep.
When is National Night Out in Las Vegas?
In Southern Nevada it is the first Tuesday of October, not August as in most of the country. Police departments across the valley hold free neighborhood events that evening.
