Do you want to play like a packrat? Our Education team has developed special (and fun) programming for your littlest packrats to love! Every Thursday and Saturday morning, these programs allow children to enjoy a 30 minute activity led by our staff, followed by 30 minutes of exclusive playtime before we open Packrat Playhouse to the public. $12/members, $15/non-members. Please note: Museum admission is not included with the program cost.
Climb, Jump, and Play!

The Desert Museum is lovely during the day, but it's even cooler
after dark. This is a fun way to beat the Tucson summer heat, while learning something neat! Every Saturday evening from May 26 through September 1, the Museum stays open until 10 p.m. Creatures of the Night
kicks off the summer festivities for two weeks, followed by World Oceans Night on June 9. Your favorite themes are back! Make sure to check out the full (and cool) schedule.
Keep It Cool!

We would like to congratulate our volunteers of the month, Pam Ryan and Gary Moeller. Pam is an amazing supporter in the Education department. She helps with a wide array of administrative tasks and editorial projects. Gary is a Docent two days out of seven. Along with educating guests, he has been instrumental in helping with the library move and reorganization process. We could not do what we do without them. Thank you for being such a great addition to the family.
