Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Explore the Southern California deserts - their plants, and wildlife. Expect to see mountain lions, rattlesnakes, lizards, and (beep, beep) roadrunners. Kids and adults will love the trip by tram tour or on foot. They call it the Living Desert because it is, well, full of life. You'll see endangered species, botanical gardens, a natural history museum, and much, much more.
Extras: Educational Presentations, Tours.
Open 9 am to 5 pm. $$ (Moderately Priced)
From Living Desert - Palm Desert, California:
This website tour through The Living Desert and the deserts of the world you are about to embark on will show you how language has misled everyone into thinking of the desert as a surly, outlaw landscape instead of a fragile, interesting ecosystem. You'll see remarkable plants, animals, places and natural phenomena associated with deserts and learn how The Living Desert is helping to interpret and protect them.
