The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Tucson 360
Hello, and welcome to Tucson 360! Look around, because this is a 360-degree video providing you a unique look at The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. This wonderful attraction is located 14 miles west of Tucson in the Tucson Mountain Park at 2021 N. Kinney Rd. just 2 miles from the Saguaro National Park (West) Visitors Center. This short immersive 360-degree video includes 13 different views of this world-class museum. This is a small sample of this magnificent attraction, which should be visited to be truly appreciated. Feel free to pause and look around with your mouse, swipe with your finger or, if you're on a smartphone, you may be able to look around as if you are standing here with us.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum was founded in 1952 and is widely recognized throughout the world as a model institution for innovative presentation and interpretation of native plants and animals featured together in ecological exhibits. The Museum is regularly listed as one of the top ten zoological parks in the world due to its unique approach in interpreting the complete natural history of a single region (in our case this is the Sonoran Desert and adjacent ecosystems).
A visit will forever alter your definition of a museum as 85% of what you will experience is outdoors. The grounds are comprised of 97 acres of which 47 are developed and curated; there are two miles of walking paths, 16 individual gardens, 1,200 native plant species, and 56,000 individual plants.
The animal collection currently includes 230 native mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and birds including a multi-species hummingbird aviary.
Daily events on-grounds include complimentary interpretive orientation tours, animal keeper interactions where visitors can watch feedings, enrichment activities or animal training sessions, and docent engagement stations.
BRING WATER! The Museum grounds include almost two miles of paths on 21 acres! In accordance with its conservation mission, the Museum eliminated the sale of water in disposable bottles in 2013. The Museum already had water fountains available for bottle filling and has installed new chilled and filtered water fountains with filling spigots for reusable water bottles.
Additional information such as contact information, hours of operation and admission prices are listed below.

Founded in 1952, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is widely recognized throughout the world as a model institution for innovative presentation and interpretation of native plants and animals featured together in ecological exhibits. The Museum is regularly listed as one of the top ten zoological parks in the world because of its unique approach in interpreting the complete natural history of a single region (in our case this is the Sonoran Desert and adjacent ecosystems). This represents a significant achievement, as the Museum's collections and size are smaller than many of its counterparts. Not a museum in the usual sense, it is an unparalleled composite of plant, animal, and geologic collections with the goal of making the Sonoran Desert accessible, understandable, and treasured.

The Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum located at 2021 N Kinney Road, Tucson, AZ is an interactive unique experience. On 98 acres of land of which 21 acres are publicly accessible, this encompassing museum features a zoo, an aquarium, a botanical garden, a natural history museum as well as an art gallery. The non-profit museum serves as an educational and research center for conservational science in a quest to preserve and protect the Sonoran Desert. Hosting nearly a half million visitors a year, the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum is open year-round, offering a plethora of events, shows, special exhibits as well as interactive experiences for everyone.
Over 230 animal species, along with 1200 varieties of plants make their home on the grounds of the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum which was founded in 1952. The museum was founded on the idea of interpreting the complete natural history of a single region, in this case the Sonoran Desert. Inspired by William H. Carr, who is credited with the founding of the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum and supported by Arthur Pack, a conservationist who was the heir to the founder of Nature Magazine, the museum continues to perform a vital outreach in preserving the Sonora Desert.
Supported by membership fees, admissions and donations, the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum is recognized as the #2 attraction in Tucson and ranked in the top 25 museums of the United States. The Botanical Gardens that are an integral part of the museum experience, is separately recognized as one of the top five public gardens in the United States.
Since 1952, the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum has continued to expand. The latest addition opened in 2013 is the Warden Aquarium. The aquarium was added to highlight the importance of the role that the Colorado River and other rivers in the region play in supplying the desert with life giving essentials. The Warden Aquarium also focuses on the Gulf of California where monsoons originate that affect the eco-system of the Sonoran Desert.
In a building that dates to 1937 visitors will find an exhibit that features native reptiles including a variety of rattlesnakes, spiders, scorpions, beetles, walking sticks, along with grasshoppers. In Cat Canyon, small cats are the focus, bobcats and ocelots are viewed in their natural grotto settings. Moving onto the Desert Grasslands exhibits visitors are treated to natural replications of grassland habitats that feature soap tree yuccas, desert grasses and succulents that are an integral part of desert life.
A highlight of a visit to the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum is the Life Underground exhibit, where visitors walk below ground through a tunnel to view the vibrant daily life below the arid desert. Here visitors can get a first hand look at how the kit fox, kangaroo rat and the ringtail are able to make their home in the grueling desert heat.
The Riparian Corridor which features changing exhibits highlights animals such as the river otter, bighorn sheep, beavers, native fish as well as toads, dragonflies and snails, an amazing collection of living species not often associated with desert life.
Outdoors, The Desert Loop Trail is a half mile walk that puts a visitor in the heart of the desert. Along the walk which is separated by an almost invisible fiber fencing one can experience a closeup look of the natural habitats of the javelinas, coyotes and lizards that call the desert home.
The Mountain Woodland Exhibit is a Mexican Pine Oak Woodland Habitat creation of the nearby mountain ranges where the inhabitants include cougars, white-tailed deer, turkeys, brown bear and wolves.
Your visit continues with the artificially created Earth Sciences Center Cave for a look at the ecological wonders that exist in caves. Completing the exhibitions are the Hummingbird Aviary, the Desert Garden walk, and a visit to one of the most diverse desert botanical gardens ever re-created.
During your visit, stop at any Docent station where trained volunteer naturalist offer animal presentations explanations and interactions with the habitants of the desert. The Museum also features daily raptor birds of prey presentations.
You’re sure to be searching for food during your stay at the Arizona -Sonora Desert Museum. Inwood Terraces is a multi-station food court that offers complete menu selections for everyone, including a children’s menu. Hours and selections change with the season, but it is open every day.

It has a large collection of Navajo and Hopi textiles and blankets, and paintings from renowned artists.
