Springs Preserve is beautifully laid out, love the architecture and sculptural touches all over. The food in the Cafe was very good... Try the Truffle Pizza, it was excellent. The Cafe has a very nice view of the Preserve too. There are some fun interactive displays geared towards kids but we enjoyed playing with them too. Make sure you go... More

This historically very significant site might be trying to be too many things to too many people! We visited (not by design) on the "ice cream festival" day - having an interest in history and the environment - this was patently a mistake on our part. But - it begged the question - what was the Springs Preserve doing hosting... More

Springs preserve is a wonderful place for both kids and adults. There is an outside kids exploration and learning area which we also enjoyed. Inside there is a group of what we felt were strange displays for a preserve but still interesting. One was about forensic science and showing how forensics can help solve crimes and unknown deaths. Again, odd... More

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
