The Springs Preserve is MUCH larger than I thought it would be. One can easily spend half a day here. As others have mentioned, there is a botanical garden, the Desert Living Center, the Origen Museum and the Nevada State Museum. I found the museum exhibits to be very engaging and well-done. I'm one of those who is easily bored... More

Have been to Las Vegas about 20 times. This time we stayed at the JW Marriott Resort in Summerlin. UH-LAH-LAH! Since the Preserve is a mere 15 minute drive away...off, we were. And, SO GLAD WE DID! We had a 2 For 1 Coupon which made it even nicer! Parking is free. SO CLEAN...the ENTIRE PRESERVE. A+++. We were off... More

Our first day in Vegas brought unseasonably cool temperatures so the resort pool was out for our young children. My mom, who lives locally, heard good things about this place so we gave it a try. I turned out to be a joy and I would highly recommend this to a family if they find themselves with nothing to do.... More

We decided to visit Springs Preserve based on its website. We had a rental car whilst in Vegas and were keen to do things beyond the Strip. However, as out of state visitors, it cost us $18 each and we ended up leaving after an hour as we were so disappointed...and didn't want to spoil our final day. It is... More

We've been going to the Springs Preserve since it opened as I only now found out that it's free to go walk around the trails,gardens and play areas. Tickets are only required for the two museums. With kids, its not worthwhile to purchase the tickets. Outside ia nice open space for the kids to play and now you can rent... More

The Las Vegas Spring Preserve is about eight minutes from the Marriott Grand Chateau (located opposite City Center.) It seems that very few concierge (s) are familiar with the location and the value and importance of the Las Vegas Spring Preserve. The Las Vegas Spring Preserve is an ideal excursion for children and adults of all ages. The Las Vegas... More

My kids ask "when are we going to the springs"? They are having fun walking through the gardens and looking for the "junk" art. The Cafe's prices for kids is very reasonable $4 for a huge PBJ or Grilled Cheese, drink and large fruit bowl. More

As a local homeschooling mother the Spring Preserve is an invaluable resource to us. We have been members for over three years now and often go a couple times a week. My boys love going to the nature exchange and we all enjoy the weekend workshops. It has become a regular weekly event for us to visit the farmers market... More
