Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum combines a zoo, botanical garden, natural history museum, and aquarium in one 21-acre space. Walking trails connect exhibits where visitors can see desert wildlife, explore a hummingbird aviary, or touch stingrays. Seasonal highlights include the Raptor Free Flight, where birds of prey soar just overhead.

The museum also features a replica limestone cave and one of the world’s top mineral collections. With live animal presentations and photo-ready landscapes, it’s a must for anyone curious about the Sonoran Desert.
