Our fifth annual wine festival, WineDown with Wildlife, is returning on Saturday, March 22, 2025! And tickets are on sale now! Sip on the best local and regional wines to help support the amazing wildlife in our care and celebrate World Wildlife Day. Plus, enjoy local munchies, catch a magical desert sunset, stargaze, jam to live music, and visit with our engaging animals. This is a 21+ event.

Roar No More: Sensory-Friendly Dino Days will take place on March 30 & 31, and again on April 20 & 21 for a total of four special days when our animatronic dinosaurs will be silenced, but continue to move. These days are designed for guests who experience sensory sensitivities or may find the dino roaring sounds overwhelming. We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable while enjoying Dinos in the Desert.

We're excited to introduce the Desert Museum's Indigenous Artist Program. Throughout the spring and summer of 2025, we're hosting Indigenous Artists to display, demonstrate, and sell their work. From horsehair basket weaving and jewelry making, to clay dolls and plein air painting... there's so much to see and learn! Artists and dates vary. Check out website and social media to stay up-to-date on this recurring event!
