Fun and affordable! - There was a lot to see and would be perfect for a family. The indoors activities were nice in the Las Vegas heat and I enjoyed the short train ride which would be fun for kids. A nice place to visit and at a great price!

Spring Preserve and Nevada museum visit - We had a great time at the Spring Preserves here in Las Vegas on a sunny Sunday afternoon ! We saw the Del Solar house , walked through several nature trails overlooking the Cactus trees and vast array of pretty garden life ! The butterfly section was cute too ! We enjoyed learning about the history of Boomtown of Las Vegas life in the 1800’s after taking a fun train ride and indoors walking through the Nevada State Museum . As fairly new Nevada state Residents , we also appreciated the $9.95 a piece ticket price !

Wandering - We didn’t really skip the line since there was none. We still had to check in at the ticket office and sign to acknowledge we received our tickets. We received a map with a QR code on it to the Springs Preserve app. She suggested we ride the train first to Boomtown 1903. We were there mostly to get some fresh air and hike. After piddling around the “village”, we walked along the gravel hiking trail. It is a flat easy trail. It was mostly in late winter condition. We enjoyed the cacti, succulents, other plants in the Desert Sol/Botanical Garden. Also visited the Waterworks exhibit. It was interesting and I loved the wooden xylophones. We will visit again to see the Origen & Nevada State Museums.

Great place needs more for toddlers - My family and I enjoyed how accessable everything is. Strollers rent for cheap and trails are paved. They even have cute leaf imprints all along the paths. Maps are handed out but also download to your phones. Bathrooms everywhere I swear every time my toddler grandson said he needed to pee we looked and there we were right next to another bathroom. I loved it, his mom loved it. The gift shops are reasonable prices. The train ride was fun. The employees were amazing and helpful. My service dog wasn't refused like many places. The dog show they had was funny and cute. And my grandson's favorite feature, the flashflood was AWESOME! He was jumping for joy when that water came flooding down and under us! My only concern was not enough interaction for him, kids his age (3). He cannot read, the animals were hiding, and the inside area just didn't have a lot his age could learn. However, the playground was wonderful, he LIVED all the statues of EVERYTHING from the pioneer people to the animals. Being that this place did keep him entertained for about 2 hrs, I'd still call that a win.

Must do when in Las Vegas - It’s a place where history, fun and education meet. Great place to visit. Over 10,000 years of biological and geological history.

Family Fun - It was a great family activity. We walked the dinosaur exhibit and the Nevada State museum. We also did a conservation with kids class and enjoyed making our own river. It was a great day and fun for the whole family.

So worth the price, so much to see! - If you are a walking buff and just love history, you will love this trip. The price is extremely reasonable for the amount of things you can do , tours, walking paths, museums. I do however strongly recommend going in the fall or winter, because a lot of the enjoyable sites and activities are outside and in the middle of a Vegas summer it becomes uncomfortable and zaps your energy after about an hour and there is hours of entertainment to enjoy. We have gone several times and still have yet to see experience everything Springs reserves has to offer. We look forward to continue go back to enjoy what they have to offer.
