We're now offering Chiltepin plants for sale at our Mountain House Gift Shop! For just $15, you can add these hardy plants to your yard or garden. They tolerate full sun but thrive is dappled light. Chiltepin pack a punch, at about 100,000 Scoville units, which means mammals won't be attracted to them, but birds will. Use these to cook with and add delicious local flare to your dishes at home.

Roar No More: Sensory-Friendly Dino Days will take place on March 30 & 31, and again on April 20 & 21 for a total of four special days when our animatronic dinosaurs will be silenced, but continue to move. These days are designed for guests who experience sensory sensitivities or may find the dino roaring sounds overwhelming. We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable while enjoying Dinos in the Desert.
