POINTS OF INTEREST Arizona Sonora Desert Museum

Situated on 250 acres, amidst the beautiful Sonoran Desert, Biosphere 2 is one of the largest living laboratories of the world. A monumental feat of engineering, the glass and metal shell hosts several different land types, or biomes, where scientists use the latest technology to experiment on Earth systems on a relatively large scale.

Explore these and five other wilderness ecosystems on the World of Discovery tour. For the first time since its conception, visitors can explore inside the 3.15 acre laboratory on a fully guided tour.

32540 S. Biosphere Road, Oracle, AZ 85623

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a worldrenowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden, all in one place! Exhibits re-create the natural landscape of the Sonoran Desert Region so realistically you find yourself eye-to-eye with mountain lions, prairie dogs, Gila monsters, and more. Within the Museum grounds, you will see more than 300 animal species and 1,200 kinds of plants. There are almost 2 miles of paths traversing 21 acres of beautiful desert.

Located at the center of one of the finest birding areas in the United States, Sierra Vista is often referred to as “The Hummingbird Capital of the U.S.” The mild climate, proximity to Mexico and diverse habitats, including 9,000-foot mountains and the magnificent San Pedro River Valley, make southeastern Arizona a major hot spot for rare and unusual species of birds.
