... if you don't know much about the Mohave Desert environment and the history of Las Vegas. It would be a fun place to tour with kids - there are a lot of opportunities for them to have fun while learning something. Strollers and wheelchairs are available. One warning - the ticketing is NOT well-coordinated, so be sure to understand...

With 2 free days offered for admission, it was time for my annual check-in to the Las Vegas Springs Preserve. In the heat of the summer, many of the plants were dying back, showing signs of chlorosis (leaves turning yellow), and dead fruit was rotting in some of the plant beds, but hey, maybe they have a program to feed...

Very interesting attraction. Lots of info to take in. Not real good for very young children as the attractions require more interaction.

ADA ready for your visit. They have a drop off area and wheelchairs for your use. Only visited the 2 air conditioned areas. Worth your time and well developed. May return in the future, butterfly area closed- to hot to include the open areas. We spent about 2 hours on just the 2 buildings. Plan for more to see more

Easily accessible from the freeway and adjacent to the large Meadows shopping mall - the Springs Preserve is a combination exhibit hall and outdoor gardens AND includes a very good Nevada State Museum which is for all ages while the Preserve itself is for the younger set. LOTS to see and do and there is a (pricey) restaurant on the...

This place really has something for everyone. The live animals and science type crafts and exhibits are excellent. I would suggest wearing good shoes and packing accordingly for the elements. Some of the exhibits are outside and there are some hills and stairs. Look for discounts and special events. Some times they have some really neat special events throughout the...
