The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden, all in one place! Exhibits re-create the natural landscape of the Sonoran Desert Region so realistically you find yourself eye-to-eye with mountain lions, prairie dogs, Gila monsters, and more. Within the Museum grounds, you will see more than 300 animal species and 1,200 kinds of plants. There are almost 2 miles of paths traversing 21 acres of beautiful desert.
Founded in 1952 by William Carr and Arthur Pack, the Desert Museum is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of the Sonoran Desert. Our current operations and future growth are funded entirely by admissions, memberships, contributions and grants.
Annual membership dues ensure the future of the Desert Museum - our work, our programs, collections and our actual museum site.
· Providing educational programming for our community - for children and adults
· Conserving the Sonoran Desert environment - protecting native plants and animals
· Maintaining and improving the Museum's collections of live plants and animals as well as our other natural history collections
· Supporting ongoing research and advancing scientific understanding of the desert and shaping people's sense of stewardship.
