This is quite an enjoyable place to go especially when company is visiting from out of town. The area is really big so there are a lot of different desert plants to see & it takes a sufficient amount of time to walk around. They have a group guided tour for free if you're interested in that. We have been through twice now - once during the day time & also once when they had the Chihully exhibit during the night time. Both times were a pleasant experience although if you're going to the exhibit, it's definitely more worth it to go after the sun has set as the glass looks much more vibrant & beautiful. The only complaint is that the adult ticket is very expensive. Make sure you bring your student ID if you have one & a AAA card if you're a member for a discount!
