The travel guides give little mention of this wonderful garden/art gallery. We had a wonderful docent (who told us she had months of training) who led us through the gardens making sure to stop in shaded areas often.

I have been visiting and dining here since 1997, and recommend this place to all new Tucson visitors as a peaceful place to get in touch with the Sonoran desert. Gift shop has nice selection of unique items, to include local artists and authors. More

We stopped for lunch in the cafe overlooking the grdens with hummingbirds everywhere. Food was very good and the walk thru the gardens was exceptional. There are several gift shops, sculptures in the gardens and all the cactus were in bloom. Could not ask for more on our trip to Tucson. More

Started with the reptile seminar in progress when we got there. You could spend a lot of time wandering the property looking and learning. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Make sure you dine at the tea shop! Fairly small menu but we all loved our meals! More

Driving onto the park grounds, the relaxation begins. Situated in the middle so the city, you almost forget where you are. Desertscapes, ponds, fountains, gardens and beautiful sitting areas. Adjacent to a tea room that serves lunch and snacks. Too hot to visit during the summer months though More

This is a lovely place to visit. We were there in April and the flowers were in bloom. This was a great area to get in a walk, as there are several trails to explore. Don't forget to visit the tea Room on-site for a wonderful lunch. More
