Such a beautiful place! I really love learning about the native plants and getting to see them displayed and highlighted to their best advantage. Anyone who doesn't think the desert can be beautiful needs to come here. In fact, all AZ residents should really come here at least once. As long as the weather is nice, walking the paths at your own pace (hopefully with someone you love) is a great way to spend an afternoon. \n\nI agree with some of the other reviewers that now that the price has gone up to $15, it does make it a little less practical. But it is still a great option for those occasions when you have friends in from out of town or on holiday weeks when you need a fun activity that the whole family will enjoy. I was contemplating getting a membership but they are quite expensive and you still don't even get in for free to the special events like Avant-Garden or the evening concerts so it is just not worth it.
