My family visited here when my in-laws came to visit Vegas. We wanted to show them some neat off the strip, non-casino places. This seemed to fit the bill. We mentioned it in passing, they looked at the website, and suggested we go. We got resident tickets, which are much more reasonable. My husband, son, and myself really enjoyed all of the preserves. My in-laws were less than impressed, but I think that was more them than the experience. My son loved Weird (Mad) Science, and the gila monster feeding. He is also obsessed with trains, so the train here was nice for him. I want to go back soon and see all the gardens and travel through at a more leisurely, stress free time. Springs Preserve = A+
