The Hi-Desert Nature Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Appointments are no longer needed.

In this exhibit bloodsuckers are invading the Museum! Explore the science of what’s biting you! Examine the what, why, when and how of mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, leeches and other parasites. Feel for heat—bloodsuckers need a hot meal! Locate CO₂ in your breath that attracts mosquitoes. Find a vein in an arm, and match suckers by their mouth parts. Learn why bloodsuckers are important to the ecosystem—and how to keep them out of YOUR system.

Creepy good fun!

Join the Museum on Sunday, June 12, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. for a delightfully unique selection of late Renaissance to early Baroque compositions by lesser-known composers such as Frescobaldi, Holborne, Gussago, Lully and Fritsch.

Reserve your seat for a donation of $10 for general seating or $15 for front row. Seating is limited and masks will be required regardless of vaccination status. 



All proceeds will help support the Museum in fulfilling its mission.

Enjoy a bug centered carnival with fun rides, lots of  activities and bug education, to top it off.
