springs preserve strikes back

Yesterday we checked out the Springs Preserve. The Springs Preserve in Las Vegas is a fun place to explore nature and learn about the history of Las Vegas through science and nature exhibits, gardens and hiking trails. This week Springs Preserve is doing a Free Week called Springs Preserve Strikes Back: A Star Wars inspired affair. Star Wars and a free activity? We had to check it out.

At the event they had crafts. The event is free, but you had to pay $3 to make a craft. The kids made light sabers and Jedi robes. They also had a few characters roaming around to hang out with the kids, which was Kyler's favorite! He also didn't take his mask off the whole time. Love that kid.

The main attraction that we checked out was the Playing with Light exhibit. This place was so cool! Laser lights, giant kaleidoscope, telescopes. They learned about how science and physics create light. Our favorite part of the Playing with Light was making our shadows. We could have stayed all day.

Since this was a free event and Star Wars themed there were SO MANY PEOPLE! haha. It is worth checking out though. This event ends this Thursday, so if you need an idea to get you out of the house, this is a fun one!
