Fifty-five acres of the Sonoran Desert curated so even the cactus looks like it's posing. Come at opening or for a Flashlight Tour after dark, because between about 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in summer this garden turns into a very scenic frying pan and I'd rather you saw the agaves than the inside of an ER
Try: the Desert Wildflower Loop Trail; time a spring visit for the Butterfly Pavilion
Community Day, the second Tuesday of every month, is pay-what-you-can admission (8 a.m. to 9 p.m.) — pay $5, $10, $15, or whatever works. Come early or come at dusk; midday among the cactus in summer is a commitment, and I say that with love. (Special ticketed events not included.)Reveal and redeem inside the LocalTour app view.
