[vegasrocks]

Floyd Lamb State Park is an ideal place to take the kids while in Las Vegas. It is located just twenty miles off the strip.

They have lots of ammenities such as picnic areas with tables and grills, restrooms, group areas and a walking/bicycle path that winds through the park.

It would be a great place to have a picnic with the kids and get them away from the busy downtown of Las Vegas for a few hours.



Inside the park you can visit Tule Springs Ranch, one of the best Pleistocene paleontologic sites in western North America.

Tule Springs was visited by large prehistoric mammals in an era when the southern Nevada area was much cooler and wetter. Fossil remains of extinct mammoths, bison, horses, camels, giant sloths and other animals have been found in Tule Springs.

It only costs $1 per person or $6 for a car full.
