Although it is a bit of a drive, it is well worth the drive to see. It will give you all you need to know about the animals and vegetation in Arizona! Make sure you bring sunscreen, a hat and water! More

Before Arizona, desert meant the Sahara: a lot of sand! The desert museum shows you all the creatures and vegetation living in this desert. Very interesting at any age. A must-see when in Arizona. More

This is one of the best facilities we've visited. They have an assortment of desert animals native to the mountains and desert of the area.

I was recently in Tucson for a 2 day stay and the Desert Museum was one of my stops. I went after lunch and I felt it was enough time to see the exhibits. The staff at admissions was friendly and gave me an overview of the park. The map was easy to follow and there were plenty of signs... More
