Regular adult admission at Springs Preserve is $18.95, so timing the visit to the free window keeps $37.90 in a couple's pocket and up to $75.80 for a family of four — each published date. That's what Nevada residents with valid ID leave on the table every time they pay walk-up prices. The catch is capacity, not money: free slots are reserved in advance and the popular dates go first, so the reservation is the real currency here.
Regular tickets ($18.95 adult out-of-state / $9.95 NV-resident adult) are on springspreserve.org; buying direct means no reseller markup. Already a member somewhere else? Our reciprocity lookup checks whether that card covers admission here.
