## About

Encompassing 2,900 acres along the eastern edge of the Las Vegas valley where urban runoff and natural springs flow into the Las Vegas Wash, Clark County Wetlands Park is a flourishing aquatic ecosystem and vital wildlife sanctuary. Winter marks the peak season for avian biodiversity, as thousands of migratory birds—including great blue herons, snowy egrets, northern pintails, cinnamon teal, and migrating raptors—converge on the park's tranquil ponds and marshes. Families can start their journey at the modern 30,000-square-foot Nature Center, where children can explore interactive ecosystem displays, walk through an indoor simulated canyon, and borrow free family nature discovery backpacks stocked with kid-friendly binoculars and field guides. Outside, miles of paved trails and wooden boardwalks guide families past bubbling streams, reed beds, and shaded bird observation blinds.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Exceptional; the primary Wetlands Loop and Nature Preserve feature wide, flat paved paths and smooth wooden boardwalks completely accessible to strollers and wagons.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Benches and covered viewing ramadas are placed every few hundred yards along the preserve; the Nature Center provides climate-controlled seating, drinking fountains, and clean family restrooms.
• Age Suitability: Ideal for nature lovers of all ages, from infants in strollers to elementary students tracking animal footprints in the mud.
• Sensory Tips: Serene natural soundscape filled with bird calls, croaking frogs, and wind through tall reeds; mild winter humidity makes the air pleasant and refreshing.
