The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a remarkable facility featuring many of the most spectacular desert plants and wildlife. This museum is a must see for any new Tucson resident or visitor. Located approximately 20 minutes west of downtown Tucson this makes it an easy day visit. On Saturdays in the summer the museum stays open after sundown, with special exhibits featuring nocturnal wildlife and plants. Many of the Sonoran Desert’s most notable animals are on exhibit such as coyotes, javelina, black bear and bighorn sheep. It’s advisable to visit the museum during the mornings and late afternoons, particularly when hot, in order view the wildlife when they’re most active. Also wear appropriate footwear and clothes as the museum is a more natural habitat than a typical zoo and substantial walking is required.
