Top Gardens to Visit in Las Vegas

By James Darien


Frequently eclipsed by glitzy casinos and the bright lights, there exists another side to Vegas. Showpieces in their own right, the public parks and gardens in Vegas are veritable oases of green in a desert landscape. We have selected some of the best gardens for you and your family to visit and have some quiet time in Las Vegas.

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens

The "creme de la creme" among public Las Vegas gardens, the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is a delight to the senses. The visually-stunning gardens showcase botanical wonders from all over the globe. The plants are augmented by the utilising of tasty garden structures and water features that make a naturalistic setting. Open year-long, the garden is an ever-evolving gem, offering themed and seasonal displays across the year. Entry to the gardens is free.

Las Vegas Springs Preserve

A mere three miles from the Strip and catering to all tastes and interests, The Las Vegas Springs Preserve is a must see destination. It comprises both indoor and outside attractions. This dynamic, historic, and cultural attraction is not just a showcase for present-day Las Vegas: thru its exhibits, it opens a window into the past, and also looks ahead to the future. There's much to keep youngsters entertained and stimulated: proactive exhibits; studios with video console games; wildlife exhibits; playgrounds; and trails. The preserve is home to an intensive botanical garden that includes flowers, cacti, palms, and trees, making it one of the top gardens in Vegas. The Preserve's restaurant, Springs Caf ', offers gourmand pizzas, burgers, soups, and salads, as well as vegetarian options. Tall, glass windows allow patrons a panoramic view of the Preserve whilst dining inside. Terrace seating is available. The Preserve has an amphitheater for regularly-scheduled concerts; and a present shop offers a convenient stop for those wanting to take home evidence of their visit. The Preserve is open daily from 10 a.m. To 6 p.m.

The Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park

Vegas gardens include this preferred mixed zoo and botanical garden. View endangered species and luxuriate in a beautiful collection of plants in the middle of the desert. Conveniently found, it is both recreational and tutorial. It is open daily, from 9 a.m. To 5 p.m. Admission charges alter.

Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs

Within the Las Vegas public parks system is the Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs. A sprawling and verdant expanse of forests, it is home to numerous wildlife, glittering lakes and spectacular mountain perspectives. Situated within the park is Tule Springs Ranch, a working and educational facility. Opening times: summer: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m./winter: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Entry charges apply.

Gardens Park & Community Center

The Gardens Park is a public park in the truest sense of the word. Integrated within the community, it is well-loved by people who visit it. The Gardens Park offers something for everyone: green lawns and multiple gardens provide settings for quiet speculation or delight in a favourite pastime; the Community Center organizes games, camps and structured activities. A farmers market serves the community and sees good business each Tuesday.
