Overview

Hype:

Located in the Crossroad Commons near the Springs Amphitheater, the main children's playground was designed and inspired by kids and features recreational equipment and play structures, including musical instruments, interactive elements, and much more. The playground offers little ones an opportunity to escape into a recreated desert canyon environment and experience all that comes along with it. Oversized replicas of wildlife are a main focal point of the playground, including a gigantic replica of a Peregrine Falcon perched high upon a rock, the recreated skeleton of a Wooly Mammoth partially buried in the sand, and a massive concrete Sidewinder snake winding alongside the playground’s edge.

Story

During spring break with the Laurendeaus, we went to Springs Preserve and had a great time. We walked through several of the museums and took the train ride to Boom Town. We walked over to Waterworks and then went back to the cars for lunch. We had a picnic lunch in the parking lot. After lunch, we went over to the butterfly house, which was a little bit underwhelming because there weren't very many butterflies due to storms back east. We then went to the outdoor animal exhibits. The kids were getting pretty tired by that point, so the Laurendeaus took the younger kids back to the hotel and Savannah and Alex and Tara and I went through the Nevada Museum and then went back at the hotel.
