5/5

This spot is a cool, free place to check out some unique gardens and tons of peafowl. There's plenty of parking, and the gardens are all close by, so no need to walk far. Just watch where you park and step those peafowl like to hop on cars and leave a little mess behind! Also, don't miss the nearby Sahuaro Ranch Park while you're there.

A free garden with various local succulents and trees. We appreciated it was small and free since we visited about noon and it was getting very hot. Several beautiful peacocks live there too.
