| - This is a must see if you're in the area. I was excited to find out that Chihuly's work was currently exhibited--his work, I had missed at the De Young last year. The setting here, glass artwork amongst the cacti, I'm sure, makes for a more brilliant display.
The photo ops here are endless. Keep in mind that it is outdoors, so sunscreen is a must. Even in the winter, the temps were in the high 70s; I can't imagine being out here during the day in the sweltering summer heat. Much of the garden is swarmed with regional plants and cacti, none of which offer much shade, though there are a few makeshift abodes to show off what living quarters are like in the arid climate. Lastly, since you'll be touring the grounds by foot, wear comfortable walking shoes.
There are eateries, as well as water fountains and vending machines scattered throughout the trails. If only you could truly find these in the desert.
