Out of towners loved the museum! It gave them a good feel for the desert and all our critters. Easy drive to get there

This is a must see. If you miss it you've cheated yourself. An essential to put on your agenda to learn about the US desert

After spending so time driving through the desert, we were interested in learning about the plants and animals that we had seen there. I must say our favorite was the Hummingbird area.

It is a LOT of walking buy my 2 1/2 and 4 year old did well. They Loved the cave and all the animals.

Magnificent landscape and open-air viewing of wildlife habitat...avoid touring during hottest part of the day. Make it an annual trek.

The national park is nearby with much of the same type of scenery, but better. The zoo at the museum was mediocre. The food at the museum was expensive.
