ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM | Tucson, Arizona | 2022 Tour
A fusion of part zoo, botanical garden, aquarium, and natural history museum, the Arizona-Sonora History Museum in Tucson, Arizona provides an excellent weekend adventure. Join us as we revisit some of the best parts of this amazing place.
This amazing museum is a bit different than your ordinary walkthrough. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is ranked as one of the top 10 museums in the country according to tripadvisor.com and roughly 85% of the experience is outside!
When visiting, you can walk through nearly two miles of desert habitats and see native animals, plant life, and regional minerals.
Animal habitats include an aquarium, riparian exhibit, reptile hall, walk-in aviary, woodland life, pollination garden, cat canyon, and mountain woodland life.
The site offers multiple dining establishments - Ironwood Terraces, a quick-service food court as well as the Ocotillo Café, a casual dining full-service restaurant. In addition, there are Phoebe's Coffee Bar and The Cottonwood, each offering hot and cold drinks as well as sandwiches or ice cream treats.
While much of the museum is a walking experience, wheelchairs and strollers are available as well as rent-able electric scooters.

Haha. I mean, we CAN... 😅 Glad you enjoyed our video!
Every moment in this video was special to me, I am now watching it a second time. The plants especially the cacti 🌵 call to me as do all the birds. Glenn's videoing skills give such an up close and personal experience. Thanks for it all, and especially the hummingbird! 🌵

I’ve lived in AZ 34 years now and have yet to make a visit to this museum - you’ve given me motivation - thanks! And another great video Glenn and Amy - keep ‘‘em coming. (Edited for a P. S. - beautiful close ups and absolutely love the 4K).

Thank you so so much! 😊 Definitely make a trip out there one day if you have the opportunity. It's lovely this time of the year before it gets too terribly hot because we've gone when the heat is around and boy... no shade anywhere!
The museum looks incredible!! I hope I can make it there one day. What a beautiful and relaxing video! Great work!

You got a lot of cool animal closeups 😀 👍

I think it’s because I was there early during feeding times.
Have you visited Tohono Chul in Tucson? It's such a relaxing place. Also, the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is a must see!

We have not! Might have to see if we can fit that in the next time we're around the Tucson area. Thanks for the suggestion! 😄👍
A fascinating tour, Glenn and Amy! How is this beautiful museum funded? It must cost a fortune to keep it so impeccable.

Good question! Looking at their site it seems a lot of memberships, sponsors, donors, foundations, etc. But you're absolutely right. Of all the museums we've been to it is always pristine and super clean there.
Beautiful tour! I remember this place when we lived out there and our son was young. You actually see javalinas in the neighborhoods?? I also had never heard of that strange plant that grows super slow. I really enjoyed this one. Beautiful footage of the animals! 😀😍

Yup! We sometimes see javalinas just poking around in the washes around neighborhoods where we live. All fun and games until you realize there are babies with them! 😅

Well, not now, but about 10 years ago my father bought 2 there. Also, the last time I was at the Mesquite Valley Growers Nursery in Tuson I saw some.@@CactusAtlas
How the heck is there one else there around?? If that was in Seattle it would be shoulder to shoulder people even though it costs an arm and a leg to get in.
