    So many great exhibits! Their Art Gallery is always worth a visit, and I never miss the "Flash Flood" exhibit (stand up close to get splashed!) NOTE: Their front entrance is currently under construction. Look for the employee sitting by an umbrella for directions. Today I spent time outside and learned about desert animals. (Photos attached) I LOVE SPRINGS PRESERVE AND THE ORIGEN MUSEUM. Great for kids, great for adults. Be prepared to take pictures and learn a lot about the desert (Las Vegas history, animals, plants, etc) The black lizard / white lizard photos were taken 30 seconds apart. Mr Black Lizard is over 30°F warmer!

    Visiting the Springs Preserve is such a great experience. History lessons, modern exploration, actual hands on learning. The Origen building provides such a great experience for both adults and childern. As a parent you have to know in order to explain to your kids, and if you don't know its really easy to lean because the museums are so great. This place is actually pretty cool because its modern history and they have exhibits worth seen. So many locals dont know the history of this town and its so cool that you can pick up a lot from just visiting here.

    I wrote a paper about this exhibit for my college class. I was so impressed with the Origen Museum. I will be returning to the whole complex next month and I hope to be a donor to the museum. Keep up the great work

    Simply amazing! Fun experience for all ages. Interactive exhibits with learning tools for kids. My 2 1/2 year old said it was cool. I welcome all to come and visit. Price is under $15, unless your a local. Just great fun.
