The Desert Botanical Garden is a really wonderful place to visit. This garden's wise variety of plant life, trails, and artfully decorated garden beds are a great place to unwind and center yourself on a cool day. Pay a few extra dollars and you can explore the butterfly exhibit, where you'll likely see insects from all around the country and may never have seen otherwise. ASU students can get free admission by using a culture pass from the library system. Great place to visit while in the area.
