I visited the Sonoran Desert Museum on my last trip out of town. The Sonoran Desert Museum presents desert wildlife in the actual desert in many cases. Stay hydrated, get there early, and don’t forget your hat and sunscreen. Desert temperatures are extreme in the summer months. During our visit, the thermometer crossed 100 degrees!
If you like animals, please check out the Reid Park Zoo gallery, also a stop on my visit.
