Sonora Desert Museum - user review
If you would like to educate yourself about the desert, this is my recommendation in the Tucson area. It is a nice walking adventure in the Sonora Desert with fantastic views. The walk-in aviary is my favorite exhibit, where you learn about the desert birds like the cactus wren, roadrunners, and qua...

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum - user review
A renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden all rolled into one surrounded by the majestic Saguaro Cacti of the Sonoran Desert, this is a definite treat. Think of it as a 21-acre enclave of the Sonoran Desert that has been set up almost as a ''living museum'' with about two miles of ...

The Sonoran Desert Living Museum is a great to get up close and personal with the local plant life and animals. Spring is absolutely the best time to go when the all the cactus are in bloom. The fragrance and beauty are magnificent. I'm always amazed at the number of animal species that live in the ...

I always remind visitors to put on their sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes when we go to the Desert Museum. Although there are some buildings, most of the museum is outdoors.Cactuses as small as your fingernail and 300-year-old giant saguaros line the paths. Lizards scurry across rocks and regal ...

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum - expert review
Don't be fooled by the name. This is a zoo, and it's one of the best in the country. The Sonoran Desert of central and southern Arizona and parts of northern Mexico, contains within its boundaries not only arid lands but also forested mountains, springs, rivers, and streams. To reflect this diversit...

I love the Sonora Desert Museum. We have gone many times and each time I am more and more amazed at the beauty and variety of desert life that the museum showcases. The hummingbird exhibit is amazing. You enter this large netted area and just have a seat on one of the benches among the flowers, tree...

Sonora Desert Museum - user review
A leisurely morning is ideal for a trek to this park/museum. Look for signs to Tucson Community College, West Campus on I-10 then continue driving on the windy road. Our drive took us through the Saguaro National Monument, with its miles and miles of those enormous cactus trees, into Tucson Mountain...

This is a very nice walk through the desert experience. It is strictly walk through, but you can experience the whole thing in a couple of hours. The walking is easy with nicely maintained paths. Intermixed with walking through the desert plant life are exhibits of live animals who actually live wit...

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum - user review
I have always loved the Desert Museum, which is actually more of a zoo than a museum. Located in the Tucson Mountains west of the city, it showcases the flora, fauna, and geology of the surrounding Sonoran Desert. It has really amazing habitats, such as the bighorn sheep habitat and the prarie dog h...
