Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Overview

The Sonoran Desert is much more than cacti and coyotes, and the 98-acre Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum shows that. The one-of-a-kind museum features a zoo, botanical garden, art gallery, natural history museum and aquarium. It is home to more than 230 species of animals and 1,200 varieties of plants. Founded in 1952, the museum interprets the natural history of the Sonoran Desert and nearby ecosystems. Two miles of walking paths cover 21 acres. The real highlight is the live animal demonstrations, where visitors can witness birds of prey in their element.
