Take a walk on the wild side at the Springs Preserve. While wildlife may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the Mojave Desert, if you take a closer look, it's teaming with activity.

This tour highlights native species in our wildlife exhibits and in their natural habitats. From the smallest of insects to the gray fox, get up close and personal with the animals who share our desert home.

Our 180 acre oasis provides a safe haven for a variety of native mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates including the desert pocket mouse, and the desert tortoise. Depending on the time of year, our Cienega (desert wetland) is a premier resort for migratory birds.
