Las Vegas: Early 2018 Springs Preserve visit


It had been a while since we last popped over to the Springs Preserve for a visit, so we decided to make the trek over recently. It's still a little chilly out, for Vegas standards, but the garden was looking pretty lively with all the sunshine and warmer temps that have been occurring recently. We ended up only spending an hour or two on this visit as we found ourselves growing hungry towards the end, and looking at exhibits we had already spent some time with previously. I'd hoped that we might catch some more activity in their animal exhibits during this visit, but everybody was pretty sleepy so there wasn't much going on. It happens, though! The butterfly exhibit should be re-opening soon, so we're excited about that, and there's all sorts of new exhibits going on now! During this visit they were  still doing the training for the most recent virtual reality experience, so we personally weren't able to experience it but the employees looked like they were having a good time of it. We'll definitely be back to check it out now that it's open to the public! 


There's always so many new exhibits and shows coming through the preserve, and they're always re-decorating for the latest holiday. It's a lot of fun going for a visit when we get the chance and it's really quite affordable after investing in their annual pass. We didn't have to pay anything for this visit!  It's always a great opportunity for photography too as the grounds are quite photogenic, and there's always new flowers coming in to bloom with the changing weather. I'm quite grateful that +Antho Jay  got us the annual passes last year for my birthday, and we've gotten quite good use out of them in my estimation of things. I always look forward to our visits and revel in the opportunity to improve upon my photography skills and understanding of my camera by practicing with all the gorgeous blooms. We've always enjoyed our visits to the Springs Preserve and the employees have always been courteous, even when the girl at the ticketing booth shouted at us to make sure we were paying customer upon entry this time. Poor girl was only doing her job, after all, and was an absolute doll once she knew we weren't trying to sneak in or anything. I can get that. I've got nothing bad to say about the Springs Preserve!
