This includes easy objects to find such as a hole in the ground or bite marks on plants. To the left of the entry gates, lies a kiosk where you can grab a Desert bingo sheet for kids to complete as you travel through the gardens. We explored two of them: The Desert Wildflower trail located right off the entrance and the Plants & People of the Sonoran Desert Loop trail which the guide recommended as excellent for kids. I simply handed the slip of paper through the ticket window and the attendant handed me my receipt. I found it simple to check in with the Culture Pass. Majestic and beautiful, these three structures amazed me! Just the skill required to construct these out of glass! Large Chihuly glass sculptures grace the entrance. Trees obscure much of the view and you may end up parking farther away than you need to. Parking is relatively easy, however I suggest circling the lot to grasp its layout and make sure you get a close space to the entrance. The garden lies in Papago Park just slightly north of the Phoenix Zoo. ![]() So you can’t use your library card and, say, your daughter’s library card to gain admission for four – trust me, I tried. As a word of warning, your library card only allows you to check out one Culture Pass per week – and that is per family. Thankfully, the Desert Botanical Garden has a Culture Pass! The morning of our visit, we stopped by our local library and checked out our 2 free admissions. A two-year-old’s attention span is very limited. However, at the admission price of $22 for adults, I couldn’t justify the cost since I knew my two-year-old son would come along. Many friends told me the wonderful sights there. I’ve lived in Phoenix for over ten years and had never visited the Desert Botanical Garden until this past week. It is one of the many fun family activities in Phoenix! Plus, I have a way you can get in for free. Time to get outdoors! The Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden has miles of beautifully designed trails that are perfect for outdoor adventures. ![]()
