Whether you’re coming to visit as an animal lover, plant lover, conservationist, hiker or all of the above, you can let your imagination run wild at the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens. Interactive live shows, a Conservation Center, authentic animal habitat exhibits, safari tours and a kid-friendly Discovery Center are just the beginning of the adventures you can expect during a day of exploration at this nature preserve.
You can spend the day hiking three trails offering hands-on adventure through the desert. Private, behind-the-scenes tours are also available for those looking to get an up-close look at desert life. When you’re ready to let loose, bring the kids to Gecko Gulch, an interactive outdoor playground full of fun and adventure. Or take a spin on the endangered species Carousel—always a great way to end the day.

This was a beautiful zoo and very well maintained. Well shaded if on a hot day. Very interesting medical facility for the animals. Very worth the trip and we would definitely return to visit.

Guided tour at the zoo and gardens works even in the hot summer though I would do an early AM TOUR during the summer. Knowledgeable guide while riding on a covered golf cart leads to seeing all of the park smoothly and efficiently. Would recommend
