First off I suggest going on Friday, Saturday or Sunday because the NV State Museum is open on those days and is included in the price of admission. Don't miss it. Plus at least that part of your tour will be inside with air conditioning. The Springs Preserve is all about nature and walking around enjoying the sights. It was... More

If you're looking for solid insight into the history of Las Vegas area, go here. You learn about geology, human history and natural history. The gardens are stunning, the small collection of animals will delight kids especially and there's more than you can see in a single day.

Just minutes away from The Strip, yet you are immersed in nature and history.The gardens are beautiful, excellent example of xeriscaping, but I think the museums are the best part of the experience. Be sure to go Friday through Monday when the Nevada State Museum is open to fully maximize your cost of admission. They display a lot of Las... More

We had a very enjoyable time there. I recommend for people of all ages. I would allow extra time with childrens as a lot of activieties. The was a school field trip there the day we went andI have to say the children we pretty ell behaved.

We are in Las Vegas several times a year both as adults only and occasionally with grand kids. We always try to find time to visit this facility. Interesting new displays; friendly staff. Kid activities tend to be concentrated on the weekends so midweek activities are more limited but the regular and traveling exhibits can hold interest.

We went to the spring preserve on a Friday day, not during spring break, and it was fabulous! There was not a lot of people to compete with. We did the Origen museum and the Nevada museum. The kids were tired after that. They have a play area and gardens we didn't get to explore. There was lots of interactive... More

If you have kids, you will be here longer as there are many activities for them, however, strolling throught the gardens and getting hints for planting here from the experts - PRICELESS! If you are from out-of-town, still a great way to spend a few hours and get a glimps into Nevada - the State museum is located on the... More

A really nice venue, clean, attractive. While everybody can enjoy this jewel in the desert, kids will get more out of it. There's a lot of educational stuff and we actually learned quite a bit about Las Vegas and Hoover Dam, but most of it will be very beneficial to children. The museums are definitely a must see. Make sure... More

Three adults recently explored the Springs Preserve on a Sunday afternoon in early April. Here's what to know: -This park participates in Bank of America's "Museums on Us", meaning that it is FREE to BofA card holders (debit, credit, etc.) for the first full weekend of the month (http://museums.bankofamerica.com/pdf/MOU_Participant_Roster.pdf). -There is a lot of indoor space. This means reprieve from... More
