My wife was really eager to see cactus in Arizona, and this was the perfect introduction to the natural foliage here! Pity the Butterfly Park was closed for the season, but otherwise, it's a great way to spend a morning. Come early in the summer, though: it gets hot real fast!

This is a wonderful place to go and just enjoy the plants of Arizona! All of the events are spectacular! The people who volunteer are the best!! I would so recommend becoming a member because we need to keep places like this around for future generations and also to enjoy some special events.

Went to an evening event which was awesome. We rented scooters which made it a good event for my mother who has mobility issues... she had the freedom to enjoy herself. Will visit again.
