Nevada State Museum tours, things to do and tickets

Few places offer the versatility and beauty of the Preserve.

The Origen Museum features over 75 permanent exhibits, including the dynamic Flashflood exhibit, live animal habitats as well as traveling exhibits that change throughout the year. Every visit can offer something new.
Walk the Springs Preserve's 3.7 miles of trails and follow in the footsteps of ancient natives and adventurous explorers, meander through 110 acres (44 hectares) of indigenous habitats and archaeological sites. Visit playgrounds, the Botanical Garden, DesertSol; a solar-powered home created by UNLV’s 2013 Solar Decathlon Team or visit the Butterfly House (seasonal). Take our Trackless Train and uncover Las Vegas's history in Boomtown 1905 and all along the journey.

Enjoy lunch in the Springs Café, with views of the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown and the Desert Living Center, where an eco-friendly lifestyle, sustainable construction and the value of water conservation is on clear display.
