Great place for the entire family. Hands on exhibits, quality displays, a huge amount of information on the history of Las Vegas, and surrounding areas. We will be joining the annual membership so we can come back often.

Visiting the Springs Preserve is such a great experience. History lessons, modern exploration, actual hands on learning. The Origen building provides such a great experience for both adults and childern. As a parent you have to know in order to explain to your kids, and if you dont know its really easy to lean because the museums are so great. This place is actually pretty cool because its modern history and they have exhibits worth seen. So many locals dont know the history of this town and its so cool that you can pick up a lot from just visiting here.

This was a great experience. Lots of hands on and interactive stuff for kids and adults. Our grandson loved it! The staff was friendly and eager to help and answer questions. It was a great time for all of us.

I wrote a paper about this exhibit for my college class. I was so impressed with the Origen Museum. I will be returning to the whole complex next month and I hope to be a donor to the museum. Keep up the great work

Brought family from out of town for the holiday weekend and everybody loved it. Very friendly and clean environment.

So many great exhibits! Their Art Gallery is always worth a visit, and I never miss the Flash Flood exhibit (stand up close to get splashed!) NOTE: Their front entrance is currently under construction. Look for the employee sitting by an umbrella for directions.Today I spent time outside and learned about desert animals. (Photos attached) I LOVE SPRINGS PRESERVE AND THE ORIGEN MUSEUM. Great for kids, great for adults. Be prepared to take pictures and learn a lot about the desert (Las Vegas history, animals, plants, etc)The black lizard / white lizard photos were taken 30 seconds apart. Mr Black Lizard is over 30°F warmer!

Awesome state park. They have a flash flood presentation that is awesome. They also give you different perspective on everyday appliance usage and water usage as well as make it very interactive for the kids. Everything is made pretty sturdy to stand up to kids using it. Great place for them to run around and burn energy.

Simply amazing! Fun experience for all ages. Interactive exhibits with learning tools for kids. My 2 1/2 year old said it was cool. I welcome all to come and visit. Price is under $15, unless your a local. Just great fun.

This place was nothing short of amazing. I went with a group of people ages 5-60 & they ALL had a great time! Each area was educational, yet fun and there are plenty of hands on exhibits. The cost of a day ticket included the Nevada Museum as well.

Awesome, especially for the kids and the price

If you live near here, just buy the pass. Absolutely worth it, esp if u have kids. More to do here for a fraction of the cost of an indoor playground pass.

It was fun to walkthrough and plenty of things to do has in interactive exhibits

Price but great for the kids

The special dinosaur exhibit was awesome! My kids stayed entertained through the other exhibits too. Hands on items for the kids.

In Springs Preserves, Nevadas natural history in an interesting experience. A lot to see with some Big surprises!

Great place with exhibits for everyone, from elementary to high school learners. Air-conditioned host to a rotating bunch of cool exhibits.

We love brining our kids (2 & 6) to the Origen Museum. The exhibits are kid friendly (they can touch them). There is a rotating exhibit area. These exhibits are usually pretty awesome. They also have an outdoor area with some desert animals (my favorite is the fox where you can see into the den). Its a good deal with the annual family passes.

Nice venue. Some interesting mini museums, exhibits as you walk the trails. Expensive for out of staters, almost $20 for fee. But,hey! We can loose more in a couple of minutes at the tables.

Great place to go. Hidden treasure in Vegas. Blown away with the animated dinosaurs.

This is an amazing place. Our 2nd graders loved it!!

Under going repairs at the moment, but we love the traveling exhibits as well as the history of the permanent sections. You can find something new each time you go!

If you want to get to know a little about Las Vegas or Nevada this is the place to go

Very educational! You can learn facts about Nevada and its past, while having fun! They have tons of fake animals that live here, and some live ones outside!

Great kids experience in Backyard Adventures! All hands on!

This was a very informative place. Although under construction, we were able to see all the great information they have.

Amazing place, love all the staff they are helpful and they love to explain in detail about displays

My adult daughter & I went to spend the day. We took our time to enjoy all of the interactive displays. The desert garden was one of our favorites.There were live animals there for a featured show. We enjoyed the information for them & even pet a snake (boa) for the first time.Very educational in a fun environment!We visited last summer & after 5 hours still didnt get through everything. When we went this summer, it was to see other features wed missed.We loved this place! We recommend to all ages!

4 year old and 16 year old boys had a great time in the mirrors room. The rest of the museum had entertaining and fun stuff too. Good prices. Nice staff. Recommended

Sad that the dinosaurs are gone but it was a great exhibit.

Its fun and interesting. Learn lot of things

We only saw a fraction of the park - but we were engaged the whole time. A lot to explore. A great playground. Well worth a visit!

Everyone loved the dinosaurs! Park isnt fully ADA accessible though

We love the Origen Museum and the Springs Preserve! This month there is a live animal exhibit. The handler was so kind and helpful, my kids even got to hold the hedgehog. What a great day we had!

Enjoyable museum, but (as others have noted) very confusing layout. There is no obvious route through the exhibits, so you end up circling around a lot just trying to see everything. I heard another person say that he had tried every door attempting to find the exit to the building.

Museum was interesting even though on tv all exhibits were functioning properly

This is the most funest thing ever I really liked learning about how ppl lived back then and then learning about the dinosaurs it is really great

Loved it great place to go and get educated on Nevada history. One thing for sure you will be very comfortable in any of the buildings because the air conditioning keeps these buildings so cooooooool. I love it.

Kind of a small array of dinos but overall pretty cool

Has a dino exhibit right now, cool for kids.

Its the best. My daughter loves it so do I. One exhibit changes every few months, but it always is something so awesome and amazing.

I love this place there is something always to do.

Was amazing!!! Cant wait to go back!

CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO FINISH THE RENOVATIONS.

Your family will enjoy this museum!!

History nerds, educational establishments, and just anyone in general will love it here. Nevada history and a few other exhibits like the flash flood.

Very cool, would recommend to anyone

The dresses are gone. And alot of the Vegas memorabilia.

Was so much fun and very impressed

We went all over the place, except the butterflys exhibit...but loved it for my 1st time...LOVED IT!!!!.

Springs Preserve is an awesome and fun place for kids of ages.

Great grandson really enjoyed playing thete

Great place to learn more about Nevada History

Excellent place for kids to get educated on the area

I use to live in Las Vegas PRE Mirage days. With Jay Leno. 50¢ Shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate, sleeping on the ground at Lake Mead. I highly recommend this museum. It bought back fond memories. Where is the neon light bone yard?

My kids had a great time while learning about our environment

Interesting and great displays of historical and prehistoric items/facts. Recommended for anyone who has an interest in learning more of the background of the area.

Good museum, does a very nice job of explaining the true origin of Las Vegas. However, the place is lonely and creepy if you accidentally stay after closing time, and security is lax.

Loved the flash floods exhibit. The new mirror maze was a lot of fun, too.

Bought a membership after our first visit, will definitely be going back! Kept the kids busy for a couple hours.

The video histories were really informative

Very interesting.

Superb venue for entire family.

Butterfly Habitat was GREAT!

Traveling exhibits, fun for the kids, useful local history, this place has tons to offer. Throw in the rest of the Springs Preserve, and you have a true gem in Las Vegas.

Interesting artifacts & geological information on deserts & animal habitats. Kids enjoyed the trip.

It a great place to visit

Interactive and fun for kids.

Plenty to see. Auction action, nightlife view finder, mini movie, flash flood, passenger interactive train. I need to go back!

The new Dinosaur exhibit is outstanding

This is a place I could come back to often. And will.

Wonderful place for the entire family!

Kids love it here.
