Meet the Desert Museum!

Desert Museum programs bring the desert to your door. For audiences unable or unwilling to travel to the physical Museum, they can still engage and learn about conservation efforts happening in the Sonoran Desert region, and how to help! Programs can be done in English and/or Spanish and our presenters can tailor to the age(s) of the audience.

Programs

Ask most people to describe a “desert” and you’ll likely hear words like dry, hot, and dusty. The Sonoran Desert defies stereotypes with a great variety of plants, animals and ecosystems. Learn why our desert is so diverse and why diversity is good for us, then meet a few of the animals that live in our biodiverse region! Length 45-50 minutes.
From lizards to tortoises and snakes, meet the awesome reptiles of the Sonoran Desert. Compare their diverse strategies for movement, defense, and feeding. Discover their unique adaptations to desert life. Length 45-50 minutes.
Learn, laugh, and play! Join musicians for a fun Sonoran Desert-themed story time, learn fantastic facts, and be ready to move and sing to animal-themed live music! This program is perfect for PreK-2nd graders. Length ~30 minutes.
Get your crayons, pencils, and paper ready! In this interactive class an Education Specialist will teach you how to draw desert life. More than just drawing and illustrating though, you will observe details of life all around you. Hone your observation skills and have fun as you meet and draw the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert! Length 45-50 minutes.
