Springs Preserve

Commonly known as the "birthplace of Las Vegas," the Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution designed to commemorate Las Vegas' dynamic history and to provide a vision for a sustainable future. Featuring museums, galleries, outdoor events, a colorful botanical garden and an interpretive trail system, the Springs Preserve has evolved into a world-class attraction providing a glimpse of the origins of Las Vegas.

The Springs Preserve is home to a variety of Mojave wildlife. This includes native mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, and over 150 species of migratory birds. Coyotes are often sighted on property in natural areas along our trails and wetlands, and are a natural occurrence in Southern Nevada. Seeing one is not cause for alarm.

The Springs Preserve is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
