IzaMarch 30, 2014Difficult to get from town by public transportation- you either walk, or need to change buses at zoo. Weird.

Jason KusnerJuly 2, 2011it is hot in the summer...bring plenty of water and refill it as you walk the park
Take advantage of Culture Pass if you can. It is free admission for 4.
Make sure you check out Desert Bells playing one night during las noches de las luminarias.

"Good garden park to cruise this time of the year. Average in size. Don’t miss to take picture with the glass huge cactus after the entrance. Senior? You will get discounted entry ticket."
Farouq Aldilaijan - 8.5
"Coolest trail with the most shade. Lots of frogs in the pond. Best trail for saguaro cactus. Make sure to pound some pods and taste the sweet flour."
