The Las Vegas Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural attraction located a few miles off the Las Vegas Strip that features botanical gardens, trails, museums, galleries, and entertainment venues.
While there is a charge to visit the indoor museums and galleries, the trails and gardens (as well as a terrific children’s playground) are free to the public! The Springs Preserve is a beautiful place to explore with the whole family; children of all ages are bound to enjoy it.
TRAILS
Four trails at the Springs Preserve lead visitors through the cultural and environmental history of the Las Vegas Valley. The trails are open daily from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. Each trail features interpretive displays, allowing visitors to experience the Springs Preserve in its natural environment. Discover how Native Americans, early settlers, and Mormon missionaries relied on the Springs to survive. More than 1.8 miles of trails wind through picturesque landscapes and lead to the Preserve’s Cienega, a desert wetland that serves as a tranquil home for hundreds of native plant, bird, and animal species.
GARDENS
The eight-acre Botanical Gardens at the Springs Preserve features a wide range of desert landscapes and demonstrates native and non-native desert plant life with interpretive stations and hands-on activities. Unique features of the garden include the Watering Can Theater for irrigation instruction, the Tool Shed Theater, a children’s theater featuring molded mushroom-shaped chairs, a weather station with real-time weather data, the Enabling Garden, which demonstrates options for people who have physical challenges, and the Frame House, a 70-seat kitchen area for outdoor cooking demonstrations.
