Learn about our desert plants that jab and stick you, find out why they have such “scrubby” skins, and learn how they were used for medicine and food. Also explore skeletons and skulls; understand predators and prey; examine the beautiful rocks from the desert; and touch artifacts left behind by those who were here long before we arrived.
