Join us for our Raptor Free Flight program Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays & Mondays at 10:30 a.m. with a season end on March 30, 2026! Enjoy the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert while a narrator describes our unique birds' attributes, habitats and behaviors. Feel the brush of feathers as these amazing aerialists fly over your head completely untethered!

Join us for a celebration of springtime and the diverse plants, animals, and people of the Sonoran Desert! Our grounds will be bursting with life and filled with fun. You can explore our newest interactive exhibit, Spadefoot Splash; bioblitz with the Young Naturalists; dance to live music; make art with the  Art Institute; meet community organizations and so much more. We hope to see you there!

Tierra Seca features a variety of works by The Sonoran Plein Air Painters, a nonprofit organization dedicated to painting directly from life in the landscapes of the American Southwest. The exhibition celebrates tension and visual poetry—where drought becomes metaphor and survival becomes beauty. We hope you’ll stop by to experience the show during your next visit.
