There is so much more to Las Vegas than casinos and nightclubs.

People who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors already know they can access gorgeous hiking trails like Red Rock Canyon, for example.

What about folks who are interested in laying eyes on beautiful animals, though?

There aren’t any zoos in Las Vegas, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to come across free-roaming peacocks in Sin City.

I personally visited Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs this week.

There, I found myself inches away from some of the most majestic peacocks in the world.

Details about peacocks at Tule Springs in Las Vegas

There are stunning peacocks roaming freely at Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs in Las Vegas right now.

Since Las Vegas is known for being a flashy city, this shouldn’t come as that much of a shock!

After all… a lot of the showgirls who earn money on the Las Vegas Strip for snapping pics with tourists are successful with costumes and headdresses that are reminiscent of peacock feathers.

An official statement from the city of Las Vegas to eight news now says: “Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is a historic location that is treasured by the residents of Las Vegas.

“The peacocks at the park are believed to be descendants of the animals that Prosper Jacob Goumond brought to the park when it was a ranch about 80 years ago.

“Throughout all these decades there have always been peacocks at Floyd Lamb Park and the city has no plans to change that.

“The city preserves and protects Floyd Lamb Park for the enjoyment of today’s visitors and for future generations.”

While I was there myself, another park guest tried to feed the peacocks pieces of bread. An employee yelled at him and told to stop! It’s crucial to respect the park rules for the safety and health of the peacocks.

I was also intentional about my proximity to the peacocks. I was close enough to record great clips and close enough to see the details of their majestic feathers, but I wasn’t close enough to spook the peacocks or make them feel defensive.

As far as cost goes, my husband paid $6 in total for parking.

Aside from the peacocks, we also saw loads of geese and old-school buildings that were constructed a long time ago.

There were tons of grassy areas for picnic blankets and picnic tables spread throughout the family-friendly area. If Tule Springs is where you’re aiming to enjoy breakfast or lunch, you’re in luck.

The park is open daily from 8 am until 8 pm.
