Starting in June, every Saturday, the Arizona Desert Museum in Tucson has extended hours from 5-10 pm as well as special presentations and performances. This gives visitors an opportunity to see beautiful sunsets in the desert as well as come when the animals are more active. Last week the theme was "nocturnal animals" in the desert. A visit included a presentation given by the museum's education staff, Native American flutes, and stargazing. If you do go arrive early because this is a popular event.  Next week the theme is about Native Americans in the Sonoran Desert. For a full list of events at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum please visit their website.
