Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

If you have an AZ driver's license you can get a discount on the ticket cost, which was super nice. There was a lot to see without being overwhelming. It is outdoors so be prepared for sunscreen and water, as it got pretty hot -- and I went in April. Overall I'd say it is definitely worth the visit! With just two adults, reading the majority of the information panels, we spent probably two or three hours in the park (without doing the extra loop out in the desert).

I went for the plants and there were a lot in bloom.Would have been nice if the animals were more visible. Need to be very patient to see any birds. We went at 8:30 am, which was nice,cause it got hotter more crowded and noisier by 10 am. Great gift shops. Loved the geology exhibit with the rocks and minerals.

It was a rainy and cool morning so we headed to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Zoo and Gardens. It was the perfect weather since we could go into exhibit building to warm up and then outside when the sun peaked out from behind clouds. We enjoys all that we learned about plants and animals. The gardens were beautiful and it was a great way to spend a day. Well worth the visit for us.

This is one of the nicest museums I have ever visited. Entry is expensive, but you can tell they really use that money to maintain the premises. The bathrooms were clean and even had sunblock dispensers. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the highlights was the raptor flight demonstration. I really enjoyed watching the birds and learning about how unique the Harris hawks are in the bird world. The variety of cactus and other desert plants was another highlight. I had no idea there was such a variety of life in the desert. If you're in the area, this museum is definitely worth a visit.
