Yelp Challenge! Started 8/20/2011 (28 of 365). I have a lot of catching up to do!
If you are a Las Vegas local, you should definitely come by here at least once a year to check out what's going on.
My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning to rent some bikes and bike the hiking trail. This is a new program and I thought that for $8/ hour it was a good deal. It's a 2.2 mile trail so we were able to bike once around at a steady pace, and another time around while we raced each other on our cruisers. The first time around we were able to stop and hike some small trails to signed stops to read about the Springs Preserve and how it came to be. There are a few educational stops along the trail. There are a number of other options to hike off the path, but there really isn't much scenery to look at. It's all flat land and dessert.
After our bike adventure, we went to the museum which was interesting. They have a cool flash food exhibit you should definitely check out. Kids would enjoy some of the animals they have there and craft activities as well. The museum is a good place I think to spend some quality time with your kids.
One awesome experience was the bird show. Don't miss this, it's actually quite entertaining and educational. There is going to be a Nevada state museum that is opening later this year too so that should definitely ramp up this place even more!
