Love this place. IF you want to know anything about the Sonoran Desert, this is the place to go. The museum has something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
Out of towners loved the museum! It gave them a good feel for the desert and all our critters. Easy drive to get there
This is a must see. If you miss it you've cheated yourself. An essential to put on your agenda to learn about the US desert

beautiful place to visit, Lots of walking. Plenty of talks and displays about the area and the wildlife. Gift shop and restaurants as well as a lovely ice cream shop.

This place is AWESOME! You can't beat the value. I learned a lot about dessert life. They have nice trails to hike on and animals to see. The hummingbird house is the best! It was nice to sit and watch the hummingbirds zip by. They have fun animal shows that teach a lot about dessert life. Highly recommended :)
It is a LOT of walking buy my 2 1/2 and 4 year old did well. They Loved the cave and all the animals.
Magnificent landscape and open-air viewing of wildlife habitat...avoid touring during hottest part of the day. Make it an annual trek.
