This landmark destination features two levels of diverse ecosystems, including the Namib, Red Center, and Sonoran deserts. Visitors can traverse a 55-foot central mountain or explore a massive sand dune composed of red sand. Encounter a wide array of life, from venomous snakes and reptiles to ocelots and quail living among cacti. Beyond the desert landscapes, discover the world's premier nocturnal exhibit located directly underneath the main dome, offering a unique look at creatures that thrive in the dark.
