Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

The absolute highlight of Tucson has to be the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.  Within easy reach of the city center this is a world-renowned zoo and natural history museum.  There are more than 300 animal species and 1200 kinds of plants on display, all native to the Sonoran Desert region. 
See dinosaur fossils
See the cute meerkats
See wonderful views across the Sonoran Desert
Have fun trying to spot the Javelinas - and find out why they are NOT pigs!
See mountain lions and other cats from a safe distance!
See the native wildlife coming to visit!
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a wonderful day out but is is mostly outside so take sunscreen, hats and sensible shoes to get the most out of it.  There's a great gift shop, and a variety of places to eat.
