"A beautiful park/garden/naturala museum - absolutely a fun place for kids and adults! A must visit!"
Springs Preserve is a gorgeous fun and educational place for kids and adults alike! It has beatiful gardens; interpretive hiking trails (1.2mi); a huge open air theater; a great Wolfgang Puck Café with a million bucks view; gift shop with a kids library; and fantastic museums on the history of Las Vegas, its springs and mountains. It's FREE for walking/hiking, visiting the gift shop, the garden, or going up to the charming Wolfgang Puck Cafe, as well as most buildings with various themes....
- There is a norminal admission charge for (a) the Origen Museum Exhibits (which has the famous Flash Flood Demo, among other fun and educational displays and games!), and (b) the newly opened, small State Museum (see separate reviews). But the admission ticket to either is GOOD for both the museum and the Springs Preserve's paid accesses.
Furthermore, much to my delight, the 2.2mi long, paved "Exploration Loop" has been completed - it is a pure joy for hiking and biking. The loop also has several access points to the hiking trails for hikers. (Weekends, they have bike rental available!) Linking the loop to the hiking trails and the charming garden, one can easily squeeze out 3+mi hike! My friends and I love it!
Springs Preserve also teaches many creative ways for saving water and energy in house construction and landscsping. Yes, it is a great place to have fun enjoying the beauty of nature and to learn how to preserve it! It also offers various fun programs throughout the year! A must visit for locals and tourists!
