Springs Preserve

Springs Preserve is a protected natural area in Las Vegas with botanical gardens, museum galleries, and walking trails through wetland environments. The grounds span 180 acres and include outdoor venues connected by train rides through different sections.

The site developed from the Las Vegas Springs, which were the original water source that made the city possible. The preserve itself opened in 2007 to protect this natural resource and tell its story.

The Nevada State Museum within the grounds shows exhibits about how Las Vegas grew and what the land was like long ago through interactive displays. Visitors can see how the city connects to the natural world around it.

The grounds are easy to explore on foot, with marked trails and train rides between sections for those who prefer not to walk the entire distance. Annual memberships give unlimited access to all museums, gardens, and educational programs.

The parking area serves as a reservoir roof while shade structures contain solar panels that power the entire facility. This clever design shows how natural spaces can be built with sustainability in mind.
