亚利桑那索诺拉沙漠博物馆

Aussie61

之前的点评说的都对。 这个博物馆，特别是蜂鸟展览，是我们旅行的亮点。 这里真的很棒，体验沙漠生活的超棒方式！！ 我们去的时候天气很闷热，但是还是有很多阴凉和食用水。 我特别推荐这里——门票成人只要9美元！！

去了垃圾的圣地亚哥动物园玩了之后，我迫不及待地想写点东西，那里虽不是超烂，但特失望，一点都不值得花那个钱，也不值得去。圣地亚哥动物园想模仿亚利桑那州索娜拉沙漠博物馆，可最后弄得四不像。展示区对于动物和增加旅客观赏体验都特好。蜂鸟展里有各种各样的蜂鸟。 唯一的缺点就是离图森市不近，有点偏僻。我妻子是在那里的高中毕业的，我们在那里住了两年，我实在不知道为什么要去两次。

正如其他人所说的那样，这是图森区必看景点之一。你能看到这个州的无数植物和野生物。而且你还会穿过一个展示石头的岩洞。都是野生物，比如土狼，美洲狮和鹿。最酷的当数蜂鸟舍了，里面无数的蜂鸟，特别壮观。我们甚至还有机会看了看蜂鸟窝（那是在5月）。还有另外一个装满沙漠鸟类的鸟舍，真的值得去看。 总之，一定要去看看。因为是在沙漠地区，所以要带上防晒霜。

我强烈推荐这家动物园。虽然不叫动物园，但事实上就是一个地地道道的动物园。讲解员真的大牛，让我们了解到很多新的知识。

当动物园开门时我们就去了，直到下午2点半才离开。我们7岁和9岁的孩子们超爱这里。

我在图森长大，这是我最喜欢的地方。我特爱去看看。干净，方便，景色美丽。开车到那里很爽，一路都是景观。早上去看动物会更好。公园里的餐馆也美味。

Extremely well done attraction. Desert botanical garden and zoo all in one.Grounds are beautiful and spacious. Hummingbird enclosure was outstanding.

Lots to see for families - animals and flora. Fascinating and beautiful scenery. My teens enjoyed seeing the javelinas and the coatis, while I enjoyed the cacti and other plants.

If you spend some days in the Tucson area and would like to learn about local cacti and other plants, this is a good place to go. I visited in March, so the weather was good, but I can imagine that it can be really (too) hot if you visit this museum in the summer season. The good thing is that sunscreen is provided in each toilet area, which are spread around the venue, and water is provided on several corners. I liked the explanation of all the plants and cacti. I bet the zoo part must be great, but this time nearly all the animals were hiding themselves. I liked the hummingbirds.

Just a short drive outside of the urbaness of Tucson, this amazing oasis in the desert offers a unique look at the subtle wonders of the desert. It really is an enjoyable learning experience for all ages.

We had a great time walking around seeing all the animals and Flower exhibit. I could watch the Prairie dogs for hours. It was clean inside and out.

A very large museum/zoo that has a lot of exhibits and walking trails. The hummingbirds were neat--could watch them fly into their nests only a foot or two away and feed their young.

I think I am spoiled living in the Phoenix area and having memberships to the Phoenix Zoo and the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. The Sonora Desert Museum is well kept and the animals look healthy and well cared for. Their enclosures were of good size. The hummingbird exhibit was the highlight of the visit. But compared to Phoenix the zoo part and the botanical garden part are small. If you are from out of town and this is your only opportunity to discover the desert and its animals then go. You will enjoy it. If you are from the Phoenix area or are heading there, then wait and go then.

Tips: come early, before the crowds and tour buses. Plan your time to catch the "Fangs & Feathers" talk and the Raptors display. Wear comfortable shoes - lots of walking. Full tour of all the paved paths and buildings takes at least 3 hours. Enjoy!

Staff was more than helpful. Since we only had 4 hours to tour it one of the staff members walked with us for 3/4 hour explaining various plants, flowers and wildlife. The theatre presentation of the gila monster and rattlesnake was very informative. Admission price was reasonable and there was a wide variety of things to see. We understand why this is the #1 recommended attraction on trip advisor.
