Springs Preserve

It is a lovely and large space, wonderful for a day of exploring and fun. The butterfly exhibit is what drew me in, and it was magical. The docents were all very concerned about the butterflies and were vigilant about ones that landed on the ground, reminding visitors to look but not touch, etc. After that, I went to see what else Springs Preserve had to offer and was met with educational and fun learning activities and demonstrations. This is a fantastic place for families and field trips! There were also a LOT of Halloween decorations, like a LOT, which was fun and silly. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the animals I saw there were kept in very small enclosures, living a life that made me pity them. I legitimately was concerned that one of the reptiles was dead due to its posture and lack of movement that the other ones had. I'll include a picture. Eventually, after a lot of concerned observing, I saw it breathe slightly. Whatever was going on was really sad. The tortoise also looked bored and like it was trying to figure out how to climb up her sides. All in all, the enclosed animals section was a bummer. Unfortunately, I find that to be true about a lot of educational places such as this one. Overall, the low resident admittance price (around $9 after tax) and the ample space to explore make this destination worth the trip for me. I would love to see happier animals next time, please!

What an amazing place! You must go to this birthplace of Las Vegas. It’s very cool. In Fall and Spring, they have a beautiful Butterfly Habitat that changes butterflies every 2 weeks. The Museum is awesome - you have to check out the giant water pumps and the Solar house. This place has everything. I would highly recommend you go!! And the cafe is absolutely delicious!!!

Completely exceeded expectations. The butterfly garden was magical and the grounds are so beautifully designed and maintained it felt like wandering through a mixed living plant/architectural art piece. It is incredibly accessible!! My partner uses a wheelchair and we were able to go everywhere together! The museums were lovely and interesting. Well worth the visit.

Beautiful Southwest gardens and enjoyable museums at Spring Preserve in North Las Vegas. Acres of desert gardens and several different museums to keep everyone interested. Enjoyable walks through cactus gardens and a very intriguing butterfly garden. Check out the sustainable house and head over to Boom Town. Very enjoyable way to spend time in Vegas away from the noise and bustle of the strip.

My Family have been bringing our kids here for years. It's an incredible place with the most helpful and friendly staff. It brings a piece of our State's history to our children. It's very hands on, with endless activities to do and places to explore. We buy annual passes each year bc there's always changing exhibits, and endless things to do here. Let them burn energy, and so excitedly learn. Absolutely highly recommend this incredible place for everyone to explore. The extra events they always host and parties are just a bonus

First time at the Preserve and we had a lot of fun just walking around and exploring. The big deal is the butterfly habitat. The cafe is the bomb. Very affordable and delicious

Been here a couple times and still feel like we haven't seen everything. Always great family fun with interactive displays to keep kids engaged. Love going to the special events that's the Spring Preserve host.

Visiting from the east coast and was thrilled to get a day at the Spring Preserve. The butterfly habitat was well staffed with knowledgeable people who were happy to share their love of butterflies with adults and children alike. We got a chance to explore the Origens exhibit (make sure to check out the Flash Flood simulation!!!) and also take the train to Boomtown. What an awesome place to experience what it must have been like to live during a time of such massive cultural and industrial changes. Couldn’t even explore the entire campus in one afternoon - so much to offer!
