Wonderful place to visit.$13 for seniors.you can easily spend several hours here. There are several pergolas that isolate styles of plants, desert, flowers, etc., with places to sit and just enjoy. Many cacti from all over the world. Crafted sculptures of butterflies and dragonflies throughout. Original Porter home is still there but basically houses art work. Well maintained walkways and paths, easily accessed for wheel chairs. Highlight for us was the butterfly arena that housed different species from around the world.

Well worth the 15$ admission price. Just look at all these wonderful plant specimens they have. The butterfly exhibit was a big hit with the kids. They even had the ghost mantis on display. Also dont forget to check out the chrysalis exhibit. Get there early cause the parking lot fills quickly. Right next door, or should i say, one driveway to the north, on alvernon, is additional parking.

SO cool!!! I wish I had gotten here right when they opened and stayed the whole day! If I lived in the area I would look into a membership! This was an amazing collection of native and nonnative plants. The habitat and pollinator displays were so interesting and the staff was wonderful! A beautiful oasis in the city!

Tucson Botanical Gardens contains an amazing collection Southwest plants. I had no idea that cacti came in so many shapes and sizes or that the blossoms were so spectacular. Well worth a visit! Grab a light lunch in the lovely shady cafe while you are there. Great food at a reasonable price
