Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
More than a museum, this must-see spot is part-zoo, part-natural history exhibits and part-botanical garden with more than 300 different animals and 1,400 plant species that make their homes in the Sonoran Desert. Visitors can view animals in their desert habitat, inspect the aquatic exhibits and walk inside an aviary and a re-created limestone cave. You’ll find interpretive displays of living animals and plants native to the Sonoran Desert – an arid region that flows through Arizona and California in the United States and into the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja. Take hikes along miles of paths crossing 21 acres of desert.
