The Origen Experience at the 180-acre Springs Preserve, located just 3 miles from downtown Las Vegas, features very life-like exhibits highlighting the history of the Las Vegas Valley.

Walk through galleries of early American cultures and Anglo-European settlers. Visit a Native American dwelling and see a historic railroad car.

The Origen Experience also features geological and biological history of the Mojave desert, a Flash Flood exhibit and an opportunity to learn about hundreds of native animals. Live desert tortoises, kangaroo rats, pocket gophers, and a real bat cave can be toured during your visit.

Designed especially for kids, the New Frontier Gallery at the Springs Preserve offers multi-player games for interactive learning.
