A unique Motherโs Day activity to do THIS weekend! ๐
๐Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona
On May 10 only, moms get in FREE with the purchase of a child ticket when you use code MOMS26 ๐ท
And honestlyโฆ this might be one of the coolest experiences happening in Arizona right now because itโs your last chance to catch FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse before it leaves this Sunday, May 10โผ๏ธ
This immersive exhibit by ScanLAB Projects uses thousands of 3D LiDAR scans, motion, and sound captured over the course of a year to show the desert like youโve never seen it before โ moving, blooming, and evolving in real time ๐ตโจ
The coolest installations to check out:
๐ต Elsewhen at the Lewis Desert Portal
๐ต Calyx in the Cactus Gallery
๐ต Desert Pulse in the RAF Exhibit Gallery (my favorite ๐ฎโ๐จ)
And once the sun goes downโฆstick around for Spring Garden: After Dark ๐โจ
Along the trails, youโll find 10 glowing light installations that completely transform the garden at night.

โจ Moms get FREE admission on May 10 only with code MOMS26
โจ FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse ends this Sunday, May 10
โจ Open from 6am - 10pm, but I highly recommend arriving from 6:30PM - 7:00PM to optimize for sunset views & the Spring Garden: After Dark
โจ For adult tickets, itโs $34.95 per person; for youth tickets, itโs $16.95 per person
โจ 5 immersive installations throughout the garden
โจ 10 light installations during Spring Garden: After Dark
โจ Stop, sit, listen, and experience the sounds of the desert
โจ Perfect date night / family outing / weekend activity near Phoenix
The desert literally glows at nightโฆ and this weekend is your last chance to experience it ๐ต๐
Enjoy ๐คโจ
