Desert Botanical Garden is an amazing and beautiful Arizona icon nestled amid the red rocks. It features a vast array of 50,000 desert plants, with many different cactuses and worldly plants along vibrant trails. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and tranquil, with plenty of great photo opportunities. Visitors can easily make a full day out of the place, exploring little sub desert garden types and world-class exhibitions. There is lots of seating throughout for rest breaks. The garden also holds festive events and fascinating classes, with beautiful decorations for Christmas and holiday touches. The adorable gift shop is full of great and adorable souvenirs. It is recommended to go early to beat the heat.
One of my favourite places in the world. An exceptional display of succulents.

This is one of my favorite places I have visited on my travels. They have the cleanest rest rooms and the cacti are gorgeous. It can take a whole day to get around and see everything but it is worth it! They have great food, I love their salmon. It's a great place to go for date night.

The Desert Botanical Gardens are so beautiful. The walking paths are awesome. It’s family friendly too. We love to go at night and see the light exhibits.
