Recently, I had family reunion in from all over this country and out; from 2 months to 104 years old; everyone enjoyed themsleves. We went the the Chuiluy (sp ?) and to the Butterfly exhibits. There was a magical feel to all. The Cacti never looked so impressive. We strolled around for the entire time. (8a-12p). The colours of the glass against the cacti made for quite an expericene. We did have a tour guide which made our experience, even more awesome. He has such knowledge of all that was there and even joked about some of things. All the workers there were friendly and made the time there, very enjoyable. My grandparents, totally enjoyed the smells of all the different spices and the outdoor shoppes. We even got to see a type of fan dance being practiced. The gardens were stunning. All the lizards kept the kids in awe. The butterflies danced on aire , that made our choice for the family to visit even more of a proud moment for me.... I got my membership and so did other family members that don't even live in this country , due to the wonders of the Gardens. It kept all ages happy and learned a little more about the desert that I live in. I understand that they also do Weddings there. ( hint to lovebirds visiting here). If you get the chance and have the time to stroll. Go.Get out and visit what Az does offer.

This is a beautiful place to visit and especially to bring visitors. It showcases all of the different cacti and plants that exist in the area. They also have an interesting butterfly pavilion that is lots of fun to be in.
