My
MIL
bought
my
hubby
and
I
tickets
back
in
January.
We
should
have
gone
in
February
when
it
was
cooler
outside,
but
we
were
dawdling
about
and
didn’t
get
here.
Then
COVID
happened
and
they
closed
down
for
a
bit.
As
soon
as
they
opened,
we
popped
in
the
car
and
came
for
a
visit!
We
came
first
thing
in
the
morning,
shortly
after
they
opened,
so
that
the
weather
would
be
a
bit
cooler.
That
was
a
smart
decision!
There
are
some
shady
areas,
but
not
a
ton.
There
are
water
fountains,
bottle
refill
stations,
and
bathrooms
throughout
the
garden.
There
are
large
plastic
animals
all
over
the
gardens,
which
are
lovely
in
helping
you
remember
where
you’ve
been.
They
are
a
cute
touch!
Meerkats,
an
elephant,
wolves,
bunnies,
penguins,
etc.
The
trails
are
easy
to
follow
and
impossible
to
get
off
course
as
they
are
clearly
marked.
Most
of
the
plants
are
labeled,
but
not
all
of
them.
We
saw
a
wide
variety
of
cacti
and
plants.
We
came
in
the
beginning
of
July
and
there
wasn’t
much
that
was
flowering,
but
still
very
pretty.
We
saw
a
lot
of
little
lizards
and
bunnies.
There
were
a
few
roadrunners,
butterflies,
hummingbirds,
and
pocket
mice.
The
Plant
Shop
was
in
the
Garden
Shop
when
we
were
there.
There
was
a
very
nice
variety
of
things
you
could
buy
with
a
small
variety
of
plants.
Such
a
good
experience
and
an
enjoyable
date!
We
definitely
recommend
to
new
Arizonans
and
those
looking
to
experience
the
wilderness,
wildlife,
and
plant
life.
