Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center & Botanical Garden Reviews
Very knowledgeable counter person. Center was clean and well organized with coffee and water for people and dogs. Botanical garden was well maintained and lots of labels for plant identification.
5.0
The botanical gardens and cactus museum are a beautiful showcase of the plants of the Chihuahuan Desert. Easy enough trail for the whole family. Make sure to visit the bird blind on the outside of the fence as well. The volunteers in the Powell Visitor Center are very helpful and will answer any questions you have.
