Ive lived in Tucson my whole life and as a child my school would take us here for field trips. Now that I have moved to Cali I came back home to visit and Its as awesome as I remember it! I felt like I was back in 4th grade again. It brought so many memories and they have a magnificent collection. I definitely recommend it for families with kids and even dates. The staff is awesome and the exhibitions are outstanding.

Ive always loved this unique Tucson museum, ever since I was little. Great place to visit now more than ever; museums everywhere need help staying afloat during the Covid pandemic.

It is a great museum. I like that we can touch some of the animals and the horns in the exhibit. The displays are great especially the McElroy room. It was impressive to see the size of the bears in comparison to each other. I really recommend stopping by.

This organization & museum is incredible. The beauty of the wildlife captured from around the world on display. From the smallest to the largest for everyone to see.

Gives the nostalgic vibe of that wildlife museum you loved visiting as a kid. Not expensive either like every other museum in Tucson. Good way to spend an afternoon!

When I first heard of this taxidermy animal museum, I was a little bit freaked out. I was still willing to give it a shot. It turned out to be a beautiful museum! It is amazing to be able to stand next to animals that do not even exist anymore. The exhibits with snow and giraffes were definitely my favorite. Definitely worth the trip!

My husband and I came here with our infant last summer and I’m just getting around to reviewing it- but it was truly an amazing experience! I knew nothing about taxidermy and was in awe at how good all the animals looked! Every room was incredible! Could Definitely Spend 3+ hours here

We had a blast today, beautiful exhibits and lots to learn.

We arrived 40 minutes till closing so we got free entry. The place is beautiful. Its full of animals (stuffed)

A wonderful museum that has over 400 specimens of mammals, insects and birds from around the world. I found the displays and exhibits on taxidermy and how the animals displayed were made fascinating. The dioramas featuring the animals in their natural settings were so well done, you had to look twice to make sure they were not alive. The McElroy Hall was amazing with the collection of animals he hunted and collected for over 50 years. This museum is a must see!

Visited Tucson with my kids and this was our last stop. Which was a great idea. Everyone enjoyed their selves and phones only came out for pictures. Which is saying a lot with teenagers. Anyone thinking about visiting most definitely should, would be perfect for just about any age.

The finest collection of big game taxidermy I have ever seen. If u r a big game hunthunter like I,am be ready 2 have ur socks blown off. U think u got ur trophy, just come here 2 c the what trophy animals really look like! Bring ur camera and spend a day. Its like the movie Nite At The Museum. The best and the BIGGEST. Very informative. Every Hunters dream trophy room!!!

I really loved this place. If you are in the Tuscon area, this place is worth the visit. Take the kids! There are many interactive displays. It had displays of animals that I didnt even know existed. I have no reservations about recommending a visit. I am sure you will enjoy yourself.

We were pleasantly surprised at how close you can get to the animals. Most of the animals they welcome you to touch and feel of their skin and fur. With over 400 animals from around the world its an excellent education for children. We went on a Saturday and it was not crowded at all. Maybe 15 people total. Nice cold air conditioning too. This is a hidden gem for sure.

Awesome....never saw so many exotic animal mounts

Great indoor experience to kill 1-2 hours with the little ones or other curious adults. Of course the animals are all taxidermy, so people have various reactions and level of interest, but worth doing at least once.

Educational museum that has loads of information on animals, their habitats, and the future of each species. Some pretty fantastic displays and very interactive for kids. They have snacks for sale and a place for eating but no restaurant. The theater was down when I was there, and s few exhibits looked s little tired, but all in all worth the drive. #MilitaryDiscounts #tusconmuseum

The international wildlife museum is legit! It was an amazing place to spend a few hours on a chilly Saturday with a toddler. It was so nice to not be overwhelmed by crowds of people and to be able to go slowly and appreciate the exhibits.My 20 month old son was able to walk around and explore, I didnt feel as if I had to hold his hand the entire time.There are some really neat exhibits that my son was able to interact with which I appreciated. There was a little theatre playing a variety of documentaries (we did not partake) and a cute gift shop. There was a place to get snacks and ample room to eat, the entire museum was stroller friendly and allowed us to experience everything together.A really nice, mellow, gem tucked away in the mountains, definitely worth the price of admission and the commute

Overall fun experience. The museum has many exhibits including a huge gallery of different mammals.

At first I was a little bit skeptical about visiting a collection of dead animals since I am not a big fan of hunting. Opposed to what I thought I would found this museum is a great opportunity to learn about the world we live in and its fauna. After visiting the museum I realized taxidermy is for sure one of the best ways to preserve species and create awareness of the diversity on earth. It has a major hall with a great collection of polar, grizzly and black bears, as well as a variety of cats and African species that help you get an idea of the real dimensions of these animals. The staff is very knowledgeable and the place has never really been packed in any of the times I’ve visited. The gift shop is great, but the only thing I regret is that, due to a recent expansion of this area, they have removed the entomology collection that contained a bunch of bugs, arachnids and Lepidoptera specimens that are amazing, I hope they reconsider and put it out of the storage again for people to be able to see it. I recommend this place 100%

I have always enjoyed this museum where you learn of so many different animals. Even insects. Its a fun place to take a family. Ive visited this museum for the past 16 years.

It is 5PM on Sunday afternoon, not as many people are here so it is a good time to be with the kids running around and exploring new things, we’ve been here at least 15 times, yeah I know, but there’s always something new to see, this is a good refuge on a super hot day like today it is 107 degrees outside. The kids always want to come back and ru. Around in here, there is always something new that they spit even if it’s been there for some time. There is a huge rhino near the entrance today and president theodore rosevelt on display for his role on conservation

Great place for kids or just to get out of the heat! Lots of learning opportunities and hands on materials. Featured artists room is always a treat! Takes about 1 1/2 to walk through and see everything. Gift shop and food available with reasonable prices. Had a very enjoyable time.

Loved it and my kids loved it I definitely recommend going here if you want your kids to learn more about wildlife and animals

Great indoor natural history museum. Lots of good displays.

This place was amazing! We took our two granddaughters, aged 4 & 7, and they loved seeing the lifelike animals, birds, butterflies, prehistoric animals. Very educational for all of us. We all learned allot. Very friendly people.The price is very affordable and they even took home souvenirs. Would definitely recommend a visit. We will go back often. Lots to see.

This place is great! I hope this place is around for a long time!

My son was disappointed because they will not let us in because we didnt have a mask. I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing one. Drove all the way out here from mesa. I will never return. Nothing was not mentioned on the website stating it was a requirement.

A truly fascinating place to visit. Would absolutely go again!

Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for military. Very good collections throughout, good prices in the gift shop as well. They have areas that offer seating (leather couches). Very comfy addition while studying so many different species.

Huge variety of animals, unique museum overall.

It was very cool and worth the admission!

New to ArizonaFamily came to visit from CA for holidays and we all went to the Museum. Beautiful place. All my family enjoyed it. We made good memories

It is affordable entertainment full of wonderful displays and interesting facts. My kids loved it and would love to go back again. The fact that it is inside with A/C made it more enjoyable during their summer break.

Absolutely family friendly with spectacular displays of wildlife throughout the museum.Highly recommended!!!

This place was awesome. The kids did not want to leave. The displays were done really well.

My granddaughters luv this place

Very educational great for kids teachers would recommend the right moral place for this type of taxidermy

Fantastic museum. Lots of interaction with exhibits. Can touch almost everything. Cool activities all the time

Great place. Exhibits were great. Definitely recommend.

I would absolutely go back, a lot of animals to see

Its was fun my kids loved it

Very well presented. Excellent opportunity to see the actual size of many animals plus their taxonomy and ecology. I enjoyed it more than I expected.

Love this place! Great for family outings.

It was a really neat place, the kids enjoyed it a lot. I like the events that they host. It really gives us some fun things to do that are fun for the whole family.

Neat atmosphere

Ive been there for years its been my childhood muesum.

I loved this museum! The animal displays are huge and very impressive. The museum is large and there is so much to see.

A pleasing museum that has over 400 specimens of animals, insects and birds from around the world. Excellent chance to see the real size of many animals plus their taxonomy and ecology.

This was a fun location for the adults and the kids. This was well-worth the effort to drive out of the way for this visit (not an easy location to find). We enjoyed our time here, and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and exhibits.

Fun for kids and folks who arr out of town guest.

An amazing place to visit.

I went on with a chip on my shoulder- Im not a hunter and prefer to have animals be live. Im weird that way.All that said, the displays were nice and informative, the collection of skulls and skeletons was fascinating and overall it was a good experience.

A museum ideal for children but surprisingly for adults too as it educates, plus makes us aware of international Wild life issues and current and past projects including the USA 20th C story of protecting 230 milliom acres of private land under the presidentship of Theodore Roosevelt.Vast display of taxidermy some of it interactive from various continents.

Very nice museum. Simple but grand at the same time. My daughter loved it. This was her second time here and she wanted to show me all the animals. P.S. BEARS!!!

Fun and educational. Lots of animals to see and descriptions. Took my two year old son for his birthday and will definitely do it again.

It was really great I enjoy the trip to Tucson Wildlife Museum

Excellent variety of animals immaculately preserved. Great activities for kids including scavenger hunt. Prices very reasonable. Great way to spend several hours, educational with focus on the importanceof wildlife conservation.

Very interesting and educational. We spent over an hour going through the exhibits, but could easily have been 2hrs or more if we spent more time reading all of the information available in each one. The have a scavenger hunt handout for the kids which they loved (Grandkids ages 10 & 13). It really helped them focus on finding information about all of the different species of animals/reptiles/birds/beetles, etc. they had displayed (taxidermy). A lot of care and consideration has gone into this museum. They focus on the education, conservation, and appreciation of our wildlife.

Free Day!!The museum is quite large and they have a very impressive collection of animals.One thing I think was a strategic success is the combination and balance of touchable vs untouchable items.Visited this place probably 10, 15 times in the past 5 years and its always consistently pleasant.Weve never stayed for the movies, though.

AMAZING COLLECTIONS!!! Worth every penny paid!

Excellent museum! Very informative and neat! Theres even a childrens activity area

The museum is pretry great. We enjoyed it very much. More than we expected.

The international wildlife museum stands as a monument to high class learning, in a fun way. They have such a magnificent or variety of different animals, most of which are taxidermied or preserved. If you are turned off by this in some way, I would highly recommend avoiding this. But, if you can see beyond the taxidermy, it is a highly educational institution that makes learning fun! being able to see creatures like these up close really brings to life the world that we live in, and makes reality even more real. I will continue going. I love this place.

A Great place to escape the heat, better than the zoo. My children love going and could go again and again and still see new things every time. Prices are completely reasonable, you get a lot for the price of entry.

Good place to take your family cheap and informative you lose track of time

They have some very good events .Harry Potter was one and Jumanji recently was over the topWell informed staff. A learning experience and hands on .

This museum is incredible! Our family had a great time and can’t wait to return for another visit!

My 2 and 3 year old had a blast here! My mother in law and I loved all the creatures and reading about them as well. 2+ hours here flew by. We will be returning soon.

I came here with my toddler and he lost his mind. He loved this place! We actually walked through twice because he was having such a great time going into each room making animal sounds. The staff was incredibly nice.What surprised me the most was the amount of animals I had no idea even existed! Who knew there were so many different types of gazelles?The price is great that we will be back again.

The sheer number of exhibit is enough to almost overwhelming. There is so much to see here that you could easily spend time out where you see if you are the museum type. One of the few museums where the she is definitely worth the visit. Exhibits range from all around the world with many exhibits in very natural-looking terrariums

Great place in a fair price You can see a lot or in a lot. Good for about an hour and a half.

Wonderful beautiful exhibits

Really fun place to visit and learn about animals. Most things are down so you can touch them.

This museum was a shocking surprise! It is PACKED FULL of taxidermy, many of which you could touch or get really close to. I’ve never seen this kind of display anywhere else in my travels and it was totally worth the money.

So many exhibits to see! I went my first time on a field trip with my kids and they rushed through, excited to continue looking through the museum. I had to come back with my husband to take more time to appreciate each area of the museum properly. That was nearly a year ago and I plan on returning, already eager to make my way through again. The atmosphere is calm and immersive, with background sounds in each area, along with some really cool staged habitats (desert, safari, prehistoric, etc.). I really enjoy standing face-to-face with some of the bigger life-size animals!

Excellent customer service and very friendly staff. The visuals were breathtaking and the information detailed was through. My son had a great time and I learned a lot. Must see if you havent yet!

I was only semi-interested in coming here. I have a reciprocal membership and thought it would be something to do during our visit here. It was surprisingly very cool. Largest taxidermy collection Ive ever seen with animals from all over the world. Lots of things for kids to touch too. My favorite part was the McElroy Hall. There were 3 super comfortable leather sofas in there and all 4 walls filled with animals, mostly horned (or antlers). They had calming African music playing in the background and it was towards the end so you could sit and marvel at the sheer amount of different specimens. There was a theater at the end as well. Seemed geared toward toddlers but they probably play other things too. We were there less than 2 hours. With a movie, Id say 2.5 hours is plenty of time to get through. Definitely worth a visit!

A must see for all ages.The drive there is very scenic.

Amazing museum for both adults and kids. Highly recommended!

The layout is awesome and the kiddos really have a great time! Would be nice if maybe they had more staff enthusiasts that way it would be more fun for parents as well..!

Love taking my daughter here. We ended up picking up the family pass as we plan to go here often.

WOW. We visited using our POGO pass and was blown away. First, the place looks like a castle. All secret and covered in vines. That totally excited my kids. We went at opening and it was quiet, we basically had the place to ourselves. All the animals, insects, reptiles they had on display were very impressive. Such a wonderful variety to look at, and learn about. Very well maintained and clean. Large space to get a good visit and see many wonderful, and beautiful creatures. Lucky to have this in our state!

A wealth of knowledge about the animals and environments from around the world.

Had a great time with my 3 and 4 year old! Lots of different animals! A few cool twists on exhibits, and a theatre with some nature related shows. Had ice cream in the gift shop, and grabbed some info on other great things to do in the area. We will be back, had a great time!

Great place i was really surprised that how much fun I had going through here its a blast.Ill be going back soon with my grandchildren

Went on free day! Smaller than expected but had lots of fun, kids loved it was gonna watch a movie animals in black and white, there was 1 cashier...bless her heart the movie wouldnt play she had such a long line. Why on possibly the most busy day were there so short staffed???

Very unique museum. A taxidermists dream. Its actually quite interesting to see the animals up close. The animals were prepared really nicely and are very life-like. The kids love it. Great variety of animals and the great room with the African animals is quite impressive. We got an annual pass and went 3 times last year. Definitely fun a few times.

Fun, and interactive. Good place to bring children to run around lots of animals to see.The outside pond has turned murky but all else is really cool

Very interesting. Amazing creatures from all over the world.

I enjoyed the info about Teddy Roosevelt. He was green before it was a thing. Thanks to him we have National Parks!

Great exhibit of many exceptional animals and insects. I think the insect exhibition was amazing. Also great rotating exhibit in one area of the museum.

My daughter and I love this place been coming here since she was 4 and still loves it she is 8 now. Very resonable priced. Ive always wish they had a kid area which they are now doing. Love the variety of animals and the information about each animal they have. The night time tunnel is my favorite, my daughter loves the room where the giraffes are and the goat mountain.

The taxidermy mounts and life sized replicas are very well done. Some exhibits are hands on, which is fun for kids. The outdoor activity today was archery in the morning and pellet rifle shooting right now. It was enjoyable, but definitely kid oriented.

Worth the visit, wonderful collection

Was great fun and good education. Sad to see the bug exhibit go. But overall family fun

The Best Stuffed Animal Museum Ever I saw.

We brought our 20 month son for the Easter event, and he loved the place. He couldnt get over the giraffes and other large animals, and he kept returning to the dark desert tunnel. It was a fun day!

As always. FANTASTIC! kids love it.

Loved it ! We have gone a few times. Its pretty quiet most times, not crowded , very informative ! Our 8 yr old enjoyed herself and were defently coming back. Also the clerk lady is very kind.
