Reviews of Springs Preserve (Museum)

Rebekah Wachholz

Amazing. Beautiful. Gardens are free. Great for professional photo shoots.

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 settlement. You also learn the geology that produces the springs, how settlers tried to utilize them, and the dominance of railroading. Also history on how indigenous people used the area, why downtown is three miles away from the water source, and the failed mormon mission.

Veronica Yens

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!

Abraham Vallejo

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.

Casey Sheehan

I have a season pass. I always enjoy going. It's a fun activity for all ages. Both indoor and outdoor activities make it great for any weather.

SK A

Nice place to take your kids to play around and see the nature and little creatures. It's also like a mini zoo.

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!

Sarah Evangelista

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

Kiyomi Beverly

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!

Joe Tate Sr

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.

Daydream Saga by Damaris

Nicest place in Las Vegas for the family. Beautiful place, really needs to have more interactive exhibits. Really annoying construction so the whole place is not available. Animals sometimes are visible. Not often. My daughter loves it but my expectations are not met, there are several exhibits that don't work or have been taken out and not replaced. They should have more people that explain exhibits as well, you get your moneys worth when there are tours available.

Darcy

A day at Springs Preserve is a day my daughter loves!! There is so much to do. The museum with its traveling exhibit is always a must see. Boom town is fun and educational. The playground is awesome. Cracking geodes is a blast. The Cafe has an awesome view. We love checking out all the animals and of course the flash flood. We can not go to the museum with out going to the trading post. We bring in some nature my daughter has found and trade it for something else, usually shells! The staff is great especially Mr. Chris. And we love leaning about the nature items we bring in and the new ones we leave with. So glad we have the membership!

Cristy Strong-Brown

Beautiful gardens, and pathes and good for bird watching. The springs dried up in the 1960's but they have reclaimed water in the original pools. The gardens are free, get a ticket at the booth and let them know. You can purchase tickets for the butterfly house and museum. There is a large gift shop, a restaurant and plenty of restrooms and shaded areas. It is handicapped accessible.

Kevin Waddle

Great deal for B of A customers on first full weekend of each month. Show BOA Card and ID for free admission.

jesus is first

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

Desiree Debien-Garnica

This place is consistently fun always a good place for an adult and kids. We went to the dinosaur exhibit and our child loved it.

Deirdre Barr

They just need to open more things to do but overall great place great Staff!

Tanya Shetayh

This place is gorgeous. Butterfly garden is stunning and the overall feel is very peaceful.

Hannah Decker Diestra

There is so much to do in one visit. The park is great and covered from the sun for the kids when it gets hot. The garden is beautiful, I only wish they had more labels for all the plants. They seem to only label a few plants here or there. Our favorite exhibit is the flash flood simulator! Such a cool experience! The VR experience is cool too, but I like that a lot of the changing features are related. We’ve been to a few of the changing features, like the explorers one and the dinosaurs.

Nicholas Holman

One of the best places in the city of Las Vegas to visit. Several exhibits and a transformative experience. Wonderful place to take children. A ton of walking due to the sheer size, but well worth the visit.

Al Sang

Great place to visit to enjoy desert flora.

Louis DeMaioribus

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

Alison Pershing

I wish the maps were easier to follow but other then that it's an amazing and entertaining place for the family. I always spend more time there then I plan to.

Vilavek

I just want to walk around with the kiddos not be sold timeshares..

Daniel Gutierrez

Came to the Springs Preserve for the annual Dia de los Muertos. We always enjoy this event. Our kids get their faces painted and do the free crafts. The entertainment is fun and the ofrendas are beautiful.

Vicki Gibson

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.

Chelsea Bhadra

A great place to spend the day! Not only is it really cheap but there are multiple museums, rotating exhibits, and beautiful trails. If you can catch the Butterfly Habitat exhibit I would highly recommend it!

Emily McGaver

Lovely natural history museum and grounds. The botanical gardens were by far my favorite feature as the flowers just filled the air with fragrance. Nice play ground for the kids. Lots to learn and explore here. The 'train' was a bit squeaky, but it was not badly priced. It was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Vegas and great to be outside on a beautiful day. Definitely recommended!

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 was delicious. Really good impossible burgers. We ended up buying a year long membership to the preserve because it was a better deal for our family of five. Parking was easy. Everything is wheelchair accessible throughout the park. All the staff were really nice. Happy and knowledgeable. Place is a maze, but there are maps available and a free app.

Jason Chan

Beautiful space that showcases our desert landscape. Many event spaces available.

Octavio Tovar

It's a good clean place. Surprised it wasn't busier there. If you pay for the deluxe pass, you get unlimited visits and also first dibs on special events. Lots of plant life, if you can imagine. Plant life there such as lizards and bugs are around but not rapid. Be prepared, a lot of walking. There is a consession stand near in case you need refreshments. Good place to bring children.

??????

Really great place. Not so great during the summer, but yet again it's your fault for not bringing hats or a fan in the middle of Summer in Nevada. Really great and educational! For kids of all ages, and even kids at heart.

Jesus Cano

It was great every time we go its amazing

Matthew Katschka

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.

Robert Serna

There's some very cool things to see in the Nevada Museum. I didn't know quite what to expect but it was an enjoyable time. You can get a little disoriented if it's your first time there as some of the trails circle back. Keep the map handy. There are a lot of things for kids to see, some of it might be a little dry for them, but they did have interactive exhibits as well. Great deal for Nevada residents, bring your ID.

Corie Naugle

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.

Josie Kleinick

Natural Desert Beauty....Great view of Strip

Whitney Phillips

So much to do! We have had a season pass for 3 years and still haven't seen everything! Great place to take the kids any time of the year! Lots of indoor activities for the hot summer days, and beautiful outdoor activities for the cooler days. They also have tons of special events that never disappoint

Alma Gonzalez

I love this place. I have the membership you get so much in one place it gives you something different to do each time the museum is great. And the playground is huge. Exhibits change every couple of weeks always something new my kids love it. Definitely recommend.

Hope Lynch

As this is not a casino it's not very well advertised but is probably one of the best day outs in Vegas for the family. The botanical gardens and butterfly house are beautiful with lots of places to sit and watch the hummingbirds. Origen museum was interactive and fascinating. Also a train takes you around the park where you are free to walk around and visit the waterworks and Boomtown. The history of the Springs was amazing, food int he cafe is homemade and fresh. Totally delicious and the ladies were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The Nevada State Museum is also here but we didn't get time to visit. Great out door playground and loads to keep children amused for hours and fun for us bigger kids to.

Steve Tarantino

Had a great time with my family at one of the Halloween events

Mrs Scanlon

Gorgeous place to spend the day. The museum is great, learned alot about Las Vegas and Nevada. The dinosaur experience is so amazing, it's like a mini jurassic park. Wonderful gem hidden in Vegas. Great day out.

Robert Fullerton

So many things to do indoors and Outdoors. If you're going outside best to do it when it's not too hot.

Erika Penagos

Halloween experience... terrible for the train ride 20 dollars and it wasn’t worth it. Like 7 candy stations and they would give out like one candy per child. The petting zoo only had a few goats this will be my first and last time going there. Not worth it at all!!

Shanae

Way Too crowded not enough walking roomfor anybody..Haunted harvest was not what I expected ..not fun at all..my kids were ready to go 15 mins after we got there

Rosie Martinez

Me and the kids enjoyed every little thing. So much fun.

Nicole Ianacone Moore

Amazing dinosaur exhibit and other adventures! There is also a really cool trading post below the cafe where kids can share what they know about their find and get other beautiful finds like sheoos, arrowheads, and other outdoor things!

Jennifer Moreland

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!

Loni Ostenberg

Have lots of fun things to do with the family! Parking can be difficult when there are events, but nothing a little walking can't solve.

Sara Ward

This is a great place to have a membership to if you have a kid, especially when it is NOT so hot outside. We loved the flash flood, finding nocturnal animals, digging for dinosaur bones, and looking at the spiders, but there were many great activities.

Josh Wood

Fun museum focused on the history of Nevada and Las Vegas. Some interactive exhibits for kids. Butterfly exhibit was small but cool if you haven't been. Try to go when it's cooler. There is a lot of walking outside.

Susan Bright

High quality educational information. Great family place!

Alexander Angle

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).

trashbutgoodtrash

Great place! Love the new dinosaur exhibit. If you have a family larger than 6, i recommend the$60 family pack!

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!

Tffny Louise

I was not very thrilled knowing this place was limited on giving out candy for the kids of one piece per stop and it would be a tootsie roll. $28 for 2 adults and a child was not well spent knowing limited things to do are also not well organized. Staff looked miserable in their atmosphere with the parents waiting in lines to only get your shirt eaten by one of the animals. Games are just as unorganized as well with the misery in the employees eye from the night. I will not take my son back for their holiday related events if its going to be this way and assumption. Of fun to only end up stressed out in the surrounding.

Debbie Miley

Beautiful place to visit and to appreciate our desert. There's an admission fee for the museums and the special exhibits, but free to stroll around and hike the desert trails. A favorite place.

Shawn Obrien

Nice nature center for the kids to visit and learn. Try to go before it gets too hot though. There is a lot of walking around outside. They have fun special events too, like Halloween activities.

Juan Vazquez

Nice place to eat inside and very beautiful plants natural to the area. Kind of lackluster in comparison to other nature preserves and I visited while the origin museum lobby was under construction which was kind of a let down since I remember it being very beautiful as well. Nice well kept park, just dont expect to have the time of your life walking around.

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!!

Lisa Moore

If you plan to see the butterfly habitat, go early. Arrived at 2 and the line was long. No addition admissions even though they close at 5. Should notify members upon arrival...

Frieda Bronfin-Morgan

Went to the museum it was good. The coffee shop is very good too.

Amanda Goodavish

We love this place and get a membership each year. This is such a great place to take the kids! There is a little playground to break up seeing all the cool stuff. Membership also gets you discounts on things like the butterfly exhibit and train rides. Thursdays have Toddler Time at 11 which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Christina Smith

Love this place, and when it's not burning hot outside they have the butterfly exhibit.

Robert Lewis

Great history of the area. Nicely replicated. Loved the water system exhibit.

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.

W H

Indoor Dino exhibit was little small but good size for a toddler. Couldn’t see the whole place but was really neat. I liked the flash flood area too. staff were nice.

Diana Melton

It was a Beautiful Museum. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Really enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere was wonderful.

Maryam Outadi

My 5 years old daughter love it we enjoyed it there

Leslie Crowley

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

JESSICA JOLLEY

This is an excellent place to take the family. Always something new and exciting going on for the entire family. I Definitely Recommend stopping by to check it out.

Michael Whalen #nevadahemp

Great night out with Hemp inc buddies watched Billy Hayes narration of Midnight Express...great location!

Kristine Newton

Came from Chico Calif...had a good time

Emily Lysogorski

Wonderfully laid out, needed 2 days to go through still need to see more. Used active duty military discount valid from memorial day- labor day Staff was friendly, food was good

Crystel Earle

A must go!!! If you have children it's a great place to take them and spend a Saturday or Sunday..reasonably priced if you're a local you get a great discount

Jamie Sullivan

It is beautiful. Yoga fest was quite amazing.

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 things to see and do and quite a few interactive exhibits. My husband and I enjoyed it a lot and we don't have children but I definitely recommend you bring your kids too!

David Robinson II

My family and I love the spring preserves. We had a mini photoshoot after church here in the botanical garden. There are a lot of things you can do at the preserve. The butterfly garden was a neat experience. Their is also a train ride and a museum that we didn't get a chance to do but definitely will on the next visit. Our most favorite part of the preserve was the botanical garden. Since we are used to a lot of trees and flowers this botanical garden was by far one of our most liked gardens. We like the variety of cacti and trees they had to offer some of the cacti were surprisingly very tall. I liked that they offered seats around the garden that you could sit back and relax at. Another perk was that the seats were in shaded areas. The only downfall I would say is that you have to pay for admissions and other attractions inside the park. Other than that it's a nice place for a family day and it's kid friendly.

M. Paz

This is a hidden paradise! I always passed by the "Reserves" for years until I caved in and decided to have a look see. I was blown away. The exhibits have a something for EVERYONE and we ran out of time! The staff was like talking to your favorite relative. The best time is early in the day during the summer. You have got to see this place!

J Buchbaum

We love the springs preserve. Their special events are very well done and with the ice cream festival coming up, and the cinco de mayo festival, we are planning on being there at least three times within the next three months. The African American festival was well done. We have always bought the family pass and this year went with the silver pass, so hopefully it will end up being worth it.

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.

Mals Santullo

We enjoy our thier next time we go back I'm getting a gold membership it's so worth for us

Tia C. Baker

I was very pleasantly surprised with the springs preserve. It is very clean, well maintained and high quality musuem/garden.

Thomas Kutzner

A local treasure with affordable and safe activities for families.

Michelle Pulido

This place is amazing definitely the next year I'll be back for dia de muertos!!!

elephantslvme

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

Jose Gomez

Fun for the whole family get to know more about Nevada and its beautiful nature.

Daniel White

needed 2 days to go through still need to see more. Used active duty military discount valid from memorial day- labor day Staff was friendly, food was good

Ann Hofner

So much to see. Plan for the day. Its amazing!

Richanne Caballero

Great Halloween Haunted Harvest! Had alot of fun at the Spectacular Spellabration shows! The Great Wizardo!!!

Joe Dambrosio

Love this place what's worth getting a membership. We get the Bronze Membership every year there's always new exhibits to come see parking is great and the restaurant has good food

Gabriel Frias

Nice and chill, away from the hustle and noise... albeit for only a few hours... loved it

John Reynolds

Nice museum and nature center... I've come each year for the yoga festival.

Judy Friesz

Has fun things for kids. Enjoyed our time

Sam Chagani

Brilliant spot. Nice to get away from the Las Vegas hubub and see native plants and trees

Lori Whalen

I visit every time I'm in Vegas! Love it there.

Alex F.

I was very pleasantly surprised with the springs preserve. It is very clean, well maintained and high quality musuem/garden. The kids had a blast and we could barely keep up with them. The exhibits were interesting and very well done. I loved how interactive everything was, kept the kids attention the whole time. The butterfly exhibit was nice but a little underwhelming. Overall a great experience, will be back soon.

G.Q. Mitchell

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.

Giovanni Gonzalez

semi annual plant sale was great. Spring coming up soon

Gerald Cook

Absolutely the best place in the valley to take a nature walk. The fact that walking around is free is amazing.

Shelly-Ann Brown

Nice place

Zak Mckernan

The kids favorite place in Vegas. It's huge. Spend a day here and you still won't see it all.

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!

Sean D

A pleasure to visit. Discount admission with AAA membership. Nice botanical gardens.

Joe Timms

My children love coming. Recommend getting an annual pass. If you have a toddler make sure to take them to toddler time. Many special events throughout the year. Go see the dinosaurs before they leave.

Matthew Sills

Went for the Halloween show. It was amazing, kids loved it

Nancy Turner

I was very pleasantly surprised with the springs preserve. It is very clean, well maintained and high quality musuem/garden.

Jimmy Lam

It's always a fun time here with lots to see and explore. The badge program at the nature exchange is great for elementary school kids, and probably older kids if they are interested. The various exhibits are fun and educational. You can take a break at the outdoor playground and cool off at the Water Works exhibit. You could easily spend a nice day here. If you're a local or plan on a return trip, there is no reason not to get a membership here. Depending which one you opt for, you can easily recoup the cost. Be sure to stop by the Divine Cafe. The lines are long for a reason; the food is fantastic here and I remembered saying to myself that I would come back for a lunch here if nothing else. Plus, you can eat on their balcony, which has a great panoramic view of the Vegas skyline. Overall, a great gem of a place in the middle of the valley.

Mario Acklin

This place was awesome. We went for the botanical gardens which was great, but there was also an ice cream social!

dreaming dryad

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. :)

Tiffani Torgeson

Big place to visit. Had a wonderful time in the many museums and hands on exhibits! Wonderful green space and butterfly house. Great for a family adventure with fun things to do for all ages!! Even the cafe was good food and reasonable prices. Loved the Boomtown remake of Las Vegas, so cute and educational. Prices were very reasonable, but would recommend a family membership, as you save ten percent with discount on tickets.

Going2 Lawson

Garden very well designed, it is a pleasure to walk and discover the large variety of desert plants. Nevada museum is interesting to visit for those who want to learn history of the state.

Mark

What a wonderful way to spend a day in Las Vegas. Learn about the origin of the area from geology to settlement.

Kimberly Del Monte

This place is amazing!! So much to see. We honestly thought because of most we've been to that we'd only need maybe 1.5 hr but we still weren't done after 4!! I was lucky to experience the butterfly habitat so if you can go and see that as well!! So many breeds of butterflies! They have a cafe as well. The museum has amazing lifesize examples and steps you through the building of the Hoover Dam (short film) and progression. They also have desert animals for viewing. Residents save a good deal and I would even say you will want the pass!

Heather Hansen

It's undergoing renovations right now, but this place is great for adult dates (if history, nature, or one of the touring exhibits is your thing) and kids alike. I'd definitely say going during the summer heat will be a little miserable as most of the kid's activities are outside and walking the vast grounds isn't as enjoyable as the cooler months. I've always liked the traveling exhibits they bring in, they are well executed and normally cover really interesting topics for both kids and adults. The las Vegas history part is also well done and fun. My kids have always loved the flash flood interactive exhibit and they make almost everything hands on and not just plaques you read. There are some desert animals, an old Town for kids to build, sand pits for excavating and other seasonal attractions for butterflies, Halloween, Christmas etc. The cafe is also really good and reasonably priced. They offer vegan and gluten free options and a beautiful view.

Eva Goodman

This is a super cool place, In the archaeological section they have a box of sand with a projector above it, and as you move the sand it changes the color of the topographical map being projected. Way cool!!

Angela Hernandez

Highly educational but not enough activities for small children. At the center there is a very small playground but not much else.

Tina Tili

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!

Stephanie D

Had a great time. Beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Butterfly habitat is only during spring and fall so we will have to come back to visit.

just me

Always fun! We got to check out the new Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit. Lots of beautiful flowers blooming on the property. Great afternoon

Bob Altman

A rather expensive area in the city of Las Vegas to be able to take your family or even just yourself to somewhere outside. The heat is always difficult in Vegas but here there is a considerable amount of shade and trees plus other vegetation. There are a few museums on the campus plus a botanical garden. A lot of the items are geared towards children but not all. I would highly recommend this place to spend the day.

Gary Darby

Confusing layout. No misters, the few drinking fountains were hot to lukewarm water. Several exhibits closed. Overpriced for what you get. Sorry, not a good experience for us, won't recommend to others. Staff pleasant and courteous.

jose solorio

Friendly staff really cool shows very nice the hole thing every one help if you need to know something

Jim Sheppard

Great place to take kids, museum covered prehistoric to current Vegas. Done well

Jim Di Liddo

The most un-Vegas place in Vegas. The Springs is a nature and wildlife sanctuary in the middle of the city. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful.
