Reviews of Springs Preserve (Gardener)

Mark Pabst

This is now my favorite place to visit in Vegas, especially the trails around the original springs that resulted in the development of Las Vegas. In walking the trail you get a real sense of what Las Vegas was like prior to Eastern …

Great experience here. Definitely recommend in the cooler months. Lots to do outdoors, so keep that in mind when its 90* and up. Butterfly exhibit is fun with the family, playground, revolving exhibits. Kids love the flash flood display. Very educational for certain age groups. Definitely would recommend dining at the cafe. The cafe would make a great date night dinner date too with its tasty menu and incredible view/outdoor dining.

This place always brings joy to my world. I've been 3 times each time on a field trip with my schools. The kids just love looking at the bugs and animals. And this time they got to enjoy the Halloween decorations they have installed. Our favorite part is the butterfly Habit. A must see for visitors and locals. Especially if you have children!

Great place to get your steps in. Depending on what time of year you go they have different things. This year we say the dinosaur exhibit and it was pretty cool. They were animated and great to see the in the springs preserve. Take water and snacks on your walk because it's a pretty big preserve.

This place is great if you'd like to learn about the local history, plants, wildlife, and conservation efforts. They have a rotating exhibit in addition to extensive walking trails with historic sites and a shorter walking path through their gardens. Perfect to bring kids because they can definitely wander around. The Nevada State museum is right next door too. Springs preserve is definitely worth visiting. A hidden gem!

Great place to take the kids! There are several activities, both indoor and outdoor. Both my 7 & 9 year olds loved it!

I needed to kill some time and took my 3 year old and 1 year old here for about 2 hours. Definitely not enough time as there was so much for them to do! They have amazing prices and a good amount of things to do indoors during the summer. The employees are so energetic and accommodating, thank you so much! I will be coming back very soon!

Cool place. We purchased a membership. They have extremely low number of shaded/mist places while walking around and it's really easy to get lost. Highly recommend avoiding on hot days, which is like 1/3 of the year. If they had better heat management (even a couple more drinking fountains or a kiosk that sold water besides the gift shop) would have 5 stars.

It was so fun you don't need a membership to walk around out side its very beautiful and peaceful nice place to relax and hang out no outside food is allowed so I would leave it in the car and go to the car if you want to eat the restaurant is kinda pricey so just a notice but other than that I really enjoyed my experience

Very educational. The kids and us adults were entertained from beginning to end of our visit. The staff was very engaging, polite, and helpful.

I love this place. There's always something new and interesting to see and do. Fun for the whole family. I've been there at least 6 times and never seen the whole place yet. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Michael Beauregard

Beautiful, interesting place right in the middle of Vegas. A nice retreat from busy Vegas. Lots of kid friendly activities. My mother loved all the plant life in the botanical gardens. In the animal section, our favorite was the fox. Cafe …

I really do enjoy bring my kids here because they can run around but the only thing I don't like is how you exit. It takes forever if there is a crowed and too many stairs. But the cafe is good for a quick bite to eat.

It's always worth the membership. Lots of new things in the last few years. Visiting family loved it. Wish the various pieces were more connected (preserve, water, boomtown, museum) so you could travel in a loop. Older animal part looking pretty run down.

A must-go-see place for desert plant lovers. The gardens are full of a diverse selection of plants and all of it is artistically arranged. The art and architecture around the gardens is also very striking and beautiful. The butterfly exhibit is was a special treat, full of colorful beauties! I especially appreciated the volunteers working around the preserve. They were all extremely helpful, informational, and kind. I could tell this place means a great deal to the locals, which made me appreciate it even more. So glad we did this activity during our last day in Vegas instead of hanging out in a casino on the strip!

This place has a great variety of things to see and do, including a botanical garden, a model 1905 boom town, a dinosaur museum, a delightful restaurant, and an outdoor play area. You'll want to bring some good walking shoes, water, and a hat or sunscreen, since the locations are a bit spread out. The staff is very helpful and friendly, though when I visited the train was out of service (they used a cart to offer transportation instead).

Dalyn Tardy

My family and I visited this past week and really enjoyed our visit (despite the 111 degree heat!). There were educational presentations that were engaging and informative (a flash flood encounter, train car, auction area, and much more). If it were cooler we would have walked around the large area - this time we opted to ride the train and the narrated tour was awesome!

Mike Vaughn

The Springs Preserve is an awesome museum/event establishment! My family has the silver membership and with all of the attractions and events, it's more than worth it! The 2 beer and wine festivals that are held here are amazing!!

Dawn Woods

It has a long path you can walk along that educates you on the local flora as well as two museums and an outdoor area full of habitats of local wildlife. There's a lot of fun things to see and do and quite a few interactive exhibits.

Leslie Crowley

Terrific!! Too much to see in one visit. An absolute diamond in the middle of Las Vegas. You won't be disappointed.

Haley L

Great for the whole family. Toddler Time is a blast. The museums are amazing. Boom town is super cute and the train is s fun to ride. Haunted harvest is fun for all ages as well

Tara Schy

This place is a tribute to Las Vegas and Nevada as a whole. It has a long path you can walk along that educates you on the local flora as well as two museums and an outdoor area full of habitats of local wildlife. There's a lot of fun …

Brian Morgan

The dinosaur exhibit was a medium sized room but was well worth it for my 9, 7, and 2 yo. Animatronic dinosaurs and then the usual insect, geology and outside animal display was well worth the entry fee. Good inside fun and outside fun for 2.5 hours. Support Vegas.

Beautiful, relaxing, fun I highly recommend seeing this stunning place!!! I will 100% be back to enjoy this wonderdully lush place. Can't wait!

Had a fun time at the dinosaur exhibit and Nevada State Museum. Great place to take your entire family and learn a lot about Nevada. One of my favorite interactive sections was the flashflood theatre. My son loved the dinosaurs. All is priced well if you are a local make sure you show your ID for a discount. Just wish the cafe was open til 4.

Katy Johnson

The staff and volunteers are always incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. My family has never had a negative experience here - it's one of our favorite places to visit in town. The ever-changing exhibits are perfect for my young homeschooler and the adult only events are just as awesome. Every exhibit is well laid out and put together with great care. The grounds always look spectacular and as a member, I always feel like I'm getting a great deal. The restaurant is even really awesome and has a great brunch!

I lived in LV for a year before I checked this place out! It is probably the Best Kept Secret in this city! Now, I have a membership each year, so I can explore the places inside more and more inside! I invite and play tour guide to family and friends who visit LV. :)

My family and I just left springs preserve and had fun at the haunted harvest event. It was ONLY $8 which included admission, games, corn maze, petting zoo, face art, trick or treat candy stations and more! We didn’t get to ride the train ride which was $5 per person and the food was pricey but all in all it was an awesome experience, no complaints at all from babies to kids to teens to adults. Thank you SP Team!
