PRO TIP
Desert dwellers have creative ways of adapting to the summer heat. For us humans, it’s vital we stay hydrated throughout the day and protect our skin from the sun! It typically takes at least two hours to see all that the Museum has to offer. We recommend arriving before mid-morning during the summer months. Bring a refillable water bottle, wear a hat, rest in some of the Museum’s wonderful shady spots, and don’t forget that we provide sunscreen for free in all of our public restrooms!
