Ice Age Fossils State Park is a 315-acre park in North Las Vegas beside Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, preserving a landscape that was wetland habitat during the last Ice Age in southern Nevada. Fossils uncovered here through more than 120 years of research, including the 1962–1963 Big Dig, reveal a far different environment from today’s desert and include Columbian mammoths, American lions, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, bison, camels, ground sloths, horses, and llamas. Opened on January 20, 2024, the park connects visitors to fossil beds, archaeological sites, and rare desert plant life while presenting the Ice Age history of the Las Vegas Valley where it was discovered.
