4/5 - Good

If you are a plant nerd ( the wife is a landscaper, so she loved it!) this is the place for you! Interesting little winding trails with plants labeled and a greenhouse with a huge display of cactus. The kids were pretty bored with it to be honest until we got to the end of the trail with a crystal mining display.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

This is worth a visit ! $6 admission and lots to see and learn about ! And a great hike through the canyon.
