This relatively new set of in-depth tours at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum that will delight anyone who wants a closer look at the critters at the museum. If you have been visiting the Desert Museum for years, this is your opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of the Museum. Whether you are a budding student of Animal Husbandry or just curious, these tours are up close and personal. The Aquarium Behind the Scenes Tour features a Touch Tank for the KIDS.
Jim and I took one of these tours Thanksgiving Day.
