Lonely Planet review for Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

The state's best introduction to the wonder of the desert is here, at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. A cross between a zoo and an interpretive park, Tucson's must-see attraction deserves a full day of exploration and has a nice café. Javelinas (wild boars), coyotes, bobcats, snakes and just about every other local desert animal are displayed in a natural-looking outdoor setting. During summer there's a Saturday-night program where you can see the creepy crawlies who live on the night shift.

    I lived in Tucson for 14 years and visited here countless times, and was never bored. Every turn, you find something amazing. The different times of year bring unique blooms, creatures, shadows. It is a must on any stop in the Sonoran Desert.
