The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson was founded in 1952 as a place to exhibit the unique wildlife of Arizona's Sonora Desert. The museum prides itself on its unusual zoological and plant exhibitions which foster interaction with the natural world. Here one can find tens of thousands of living plants and animals in its zoo, botanical gardens, and extensive network of trails covering over two miles in total.

Guests can either traverse the museum's enormous territory independently or enjoy guided tours, live animal presentations, aquarium touch tanks, and even a one-of-a-kind demonstration of the flight paths of raptors and other birds of prey.
