8 AMAZING THINGS TO DO IN SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK

Page 7 of 15

ARIZONA SONORA DESERT MUSEUM

This is not part of the national park but if you want to learn more about the desert ecosystem, this is a great place to visit. This is more of a zoo than a museum, with animal exhibits, an aquarium, and botanical gardens, and it also has a natural history museum.

It would be very easy to spend at least half of a day here, to tour the entire property.

While walking through the museum, a wild rattlesnake slithered across the sidewalk right in front of me. You really have to watch where you step because if I hadn’t been paying attention, I would have stepped right on this little guy. He slid off into the rocks and brush and I got one last photo before he disappeared.
