 Discovery
Room
In our Discovery Room, visitors of all ages can examine, touch,
compare and sleuth out many of the interesting things about deserts.
How does a tortoise store water? What does an owl eat? Why do cacti
have spines? What good is a rattlesnake? Who needs sharp eyes? How
did the native people get food? What kind of bird weaves a nest
in the palm fronds? There are skins and plant pods, feathers and
fibers, horns and barbs, bones and stems, insects and live animals
and other natural paraphernalia in the Discovery Room. Puzzles,
puppets, books, games, drawings, models and sculptures all help
tell the story of the desert. This interactive room, staffed by
Docents and Junior Volunteers to answer your questions, is open
daily from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
