Arizona Sonora Desert Museum

024
   Plants and animals native to the Senora desert are grouped together in their natural habitats and connected by winding paths with stunning views of saguaro cactus against a background of hazy mountain ranges. Two or three hours are needed to see everything but plan on more time to see the special demonstrations.

  About half of the paths are paved but some areas have ramps that are a little too steep. The entire museum is located on a slope so it’s necessary to go downhill and back up to complete the paved loop. The unpaved loop, which is about 1/2 mile, can be completed with some assistance. Some of the short unpaved connecting paths are soft and hard to push along. Most of the plants and animals are easily viewed.

The parking area for RVs is large and has some pull-through spaces.  Museum
