I had seen this place off the freeway several times and has no idea what to expect! The place is amazing! Family friendly and greatFor the littles! They packed a punch of things to do and learn! There are great programs for kids! As well as we received some seeds to plant. The Nevada museum is also there and a separate charge to get in! The cafe is sooooo good! So many drink and food options and the coffee menu is insane! I can't wait to go back to eat there! Season changes were noticeable and can't wait to go in spring time!

The Springs Preserve is certainly a hidden Vegas gem. With reasonable entry and lots to do, you can stay all day or just for a few hours to enjoy it. The Botanical Gardens and trails were awesome, but are absolute favorite was catching the seasonal Butterfly habitat in action. Boomtown was also a fun replica surprise that I hadn't anticipated but appreciated for 3D Nevada history. We didn't get a chance to eat at the cafe but are hoping to next time as it looks like a great food option. Absolutely recommend the Springs Preserve for a group or solo date in any season.

This is a MUST visit if you're looking for something to do in Vegas. There's something for everyone. -Botanic Gardens w easy trails-Seasonal Butterfly habitat-Various Museums regarding Nevada's history, culture, geology-"Train" (tram) ride to Boomtown which is a replica of what Vegas was like in 1905 along with actual houses from back then that you can walk through-Crack a Geode where we picked a geode and watch it crack open w a machine-Cafe with a beautiful view We spent 5 hours there when we went which I think was enough time to see everything! I also learned a lot about Liberace on this trip. Pro Tip: -if you have the ASTC reciprocal admission, you can get in for free. However, you can pay the discounted Nevada resident rate to see the museums and butterfly habitat. For more travel tips IG: @grace.loves.adventures

We finally had the opportunity to visit with the cooler weather, the grounds are just beautiful with the desert plants and beautiful trails to see along the way. There is a few museums and we went to the Nevada state museum, it had so much to see it took us maybe 2 hours to see it all. We spent some time walking around and had a great time, the butterfly area was too busy to see by this time , its best to get there early and see it first before it gets too busy.You will have to visit more than once with so much to see. I really loved the dinosaur display in the museum, they also have a cafe on the grounds to grab food or coffee . It's a great place for family and kids or just anyone who loves nature. The parking and location are very easy to get to and it's free of charge as well.

I have already rated springs preserve before, but u have to give a huge shoutout to the day of the dead festival I go to every year. I have been going about 5 years now. It is usually held on the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of November. This is the first year I've been where all 3 dates sold out. If you have never been. Pretty much people set up personal offrendas to honor those they lost. An ofrenda is pretty much a shine with pictures and food so that the dead can find their way back to their families. It is such a beautiful celebration of life and culture. You vote for ofrendas, and they do cash prizes. Besides that, the main stage has beautiful cultural dances and singing. It is truly one of the events I look forward to every year. And yes, that's me. I always always dress up. You should everyone there does.

Not a lot of parking so make sure you leave in advance to get there early to get a spot to park. The line was about 30 minutes to get in. Once we got in we got a pamphlet with the venue layout. The beginning was booths from centennial Hospital, a few lawyers of law. The were passing out candy, chapsticks, you walk down the ramp and there was quite a few games for the kids to play games. They weren't passing candy out just clapping once you complete the game. The lines took a really long time to get through so we decided to walk further down the preserve where there was props along the wall path that had food vendors from Tacos, Waffles on a S Stick and several different food trucks. Once the trail ended which was a long walk/ kinda hike you came to a town looking place where there was a few older kids passing out candy. There were also booths with arts and crafts, a DJ playing music for the kids to jump and dance around. There is membership offered here too I'm not exactly sure what it all in tells, but when there are events like the Haunted Harvest you get a discounted rate toget in.

My family and I love coming to this place. We love it so much that we got a membership and it's so worth it. They always have some events going on and even if they don't, you'll find something to do here. There's a playground and splash pads for the littles. There's actually so much stuff for kids to do. They offer story times on certain days as well! We are a huge fan of the museums and different exhibits. Definitely worth getting a membership. If you don't live in Vegas, it's still worth visiting!

I've been to this place for so many years now. But this is my first time walking the trails. i've been here on school field trips. Now I have a friend of mine. Who's working here. Who has autism. On the spectrum. Cleaning tables. I have explored every exhibit in this place. this is a nice botanical garden. So much better than Floyd Lamb.

Beautiful gardens in Vegas to visit with several museums. My Cousin has an annual pass so I got in on a discounted rate.Definitely need to visit more then once there's so much to see!We enjoyed the Butterfly gardens which is an indoor facility to keep them safe and happy.You could spend hours there looking for all the different varieties they house in addition to the beautiful plants and flowers.We enjoyed the gardens that are child friendly and we saw the gardener help two kids plant a flower to take home.We enjoyed one of the museums which shared so much of Nevada history and a special exhibit of Liberace costumes and learned a lot about him I never knew. He enjoyed cooking with his mom and even has a cookbook!Next time I visit this will definitely be on the agenda to explore again!

Can't go wrong with some greenery in Vegas.I've been here several times for all sorts of different things. There's stuff to do on both hot days and cooler days, although I prefer the cooler days because then you can walk around and really enjoy yourself. I love the butterfly garden when it was here, and I hope it makes a return. I also love all the various exhibits they have about Nevada and nature.If you don't want to pay admission, they have a cute little cafe you can come to at the front of the place. I've come here several times with my planning group. They have a variety of food and drink, and a fantastic view of the city. You can chill here for a while and decide if you want to go into the rest of the park.

We visited the Springs Preserve recently. The Springs Preserve is a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy nature and learn about the history of Las Vegas. There are many things to see and do there, such as walking on the trails, riding on the train, visiting the butterfly habitat, and exploring the gardens. One of the highlights of the Springs Preserve is the Nevada State Museum, which showcases the natural and cultural history of Nevada through interactive exhibits, artifacts, and educational programs. The museum is open Thursday to Monday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission is included with your Springs Preserve ticketThe museum is also very informative and engaging, with exhibits that cover topics such as geology, paleontology, archaeology, mining, gaming, entertainment, and more.I would highly recommend visiting the Springs Preserve to anyone who is interested in Las Vegas culture and history. It is a fun and educational experience that will make you appreciate the diversity and richness of this city. I would rate it 5 stars out of 5 for its quality, variety, and value.

Such a fun family day! My daughter is 6 weeks old so she's too young to see/know anything but it was a great outing and awesome temperature today to see and enjoy the preserve! We loved all of the experiences, activities and everything they had to offer! I hadn't been here in maybe 10 years and it has definitely changed for the better! Such a fun and educational experience for the WHOLE family! If you haven't checked it out, make sure you do! The cafe was amazing as well.

Another great day at The Springs Preserve.I took a class on how to start a garden. The class was offered by The Southern Nevada Water District. Lots of good learning about our water and saving tips. Class instructors were Adriana Picazo & Miguel Rodriguez. Thank you for your time and enthusiasm! See you for the next one!
