The Desert Botanical Gardens is a very neat place to walk around. You'll learn all about desert plants and wildlife. They also have exhibits on desert life and how people survived in the desert. All of the plants that they have are really cool to see, even if they aren't flowering at that time of year. You'll probably see ground squirrels, lizards and quail wandering around as well. It's definitely worth the trip and it's fairly inexpensive!
