FAQs

  • When is the best time to visit?

    Since much of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is outdoors, you’ll want to avoid the heat of the day, especially from May through September. Early morning hours are ideal. That's also a good time to arrive if you want to see the animals. That’s because many of them are nocturnal.
  • is there a restaurant?

    You'll actually have your choice of two restaurants, as well as a café and an ice cream shop. The menus are varied so there will be something for everyone in the satisfying one’s hunger department. Be advised that outside food is not allowed. The only exceptions are food allergies and religious-based restrictions.
