What to do and see in Henderson, Nevada (NV): The Best Free Things to do

March 27, 2022 Jeremy Dunfee

Ideally situated just south of Las Vegas and just west of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, Henderson may lack Sin City's flamboyance, but it makes up for it in activities. Golf any of eight championship courses throughout the year, sample delectable treats from Ethel M Chocolates as you explore the Botanical Cactus Garden, the world’s largest cactus collection, pay respects at the Henderson Veteran's Memorial Wall or take your binoculars to the Bird Viewing Preserve.

Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve

Reviewed By 53Coop - Provincetown, United States

This is a brilliant gem near Las Vegas. We needed some outdoor time after two days indoors and this was great. Our Lyft driver had no idea it was there and planned to bring his kids there the next day. Roadrunners, verdin, Gambel’s quail, American avocet, northern shoveler, ruddy duck, cinnamon teal, hummingbirds, and much much more! The staff was wonderful and kind to this visitor from the East Coast. Go here if you love birding!

Bad Beat Brewing

Reviewed By KarloGato - Chicago, United States

Henderson has a few breweries, including three in the same industrial park. Bad Beat was my favorite during a visit to Las Vegas the day before a trade exhibition. I had the I Love Nevada amber lager, 7th Inning Stretch, and Munich Dunkel Lager.

Cornerstone Park

Reviewed By ninong247 - Las Vegas, United States

This is large open 100 acres space park with the 31 acre "Railroad Lake" showcased in the center. There are multiple trails that encircle it and this park has something for everyone. Runners/walkers: The trials around the lake can be around a mile depending on which paths you take. There are paved and dirt paths and the motion sensored lighting on the paved roads are bright if you visit in the evening. Courts: Basketball courts and sand volleyball courts are present to get your game on. Picnickers, loungers and dog owners: There's a large grass area for everyone to run around in. There's shaded individual tables as well as a large patio pavilion next to the bathroom which is utilized for special events here. FYI there's tons of geese that wander and it brings character to this lovely park. There's plenty of parking which makes this park an easy visit for visitors. This is a great park to visit when you need to get outside. Enjoy!

Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area

Reviewed By eoftcl - Diamond Bar, United States

Very near from Las Vegas strip. A good site trip, something different to do other than the normal casinos/night club/shows. Go early when it is cool. I did the petroglyph trail, you can do easy just by doing the river walk. I see families with young children. You can always turn back once you had enough, but you can also go harder at the end when you had to climb some rocks. Parking was not an issue when I was there, but it could be if you come during the busy time.

My fav is the Triple while my hubby prefers the IPAs. It is our #1, go-to spot in downtown Henderson. You cannot go wrong here!!!!!! We love Lovelady!
