Nestled amid the red buttes of Papago Park, the 145-acre Desert Botanical Garden hosts one of the world’s finest collections of more than 50,000 desert plants, including 139 rare, threatened and endangered plant species. What’s truly special is the Desert Discovery Loop Trail, where you can access the Sybil B. Harrington Cactus and Succulent Galleries, the Berlin Agave Yucca Forest, the seasonal butterfly exhibits in the Marshall Butterfly Pavilion and the Sonoran Desert Nature Loop Trail. (Does the cholla cactus really jump? You’ll find out!) Open daily.
