Lots to see for families - animals and flora. Fascinating and beautiful scenery. My teens enjoyed seeing the javelinas and the coatis, while I enjoyed the cacti and other plants.

If you spend some days in the Tucson area and would like to learn about local cacti and other plants, this is a good place to go. I visited in March, so the weather was good, but I can imagine that it can be really (too) hot if you visit this museum in the summer season. The good thing is that sunscreen is provided in each toilet area, which are spread around the venue, and water is provided on several corners. I liked the explanation of all the plants and cacti. I bet the zoo part must be great, but this time nearly all the animals were hiding themselves. I liked the hummingbirds.

Just a short drive outside of the urbaness of Tucson, this amazing oasis in the desert offers a unique look at the subtle wonders of the desert. It really is an enjoyable learning experience for all ages.
