Karen was just asking me about going here - and I told her I'd be happy to go back. I couldn't find my pictures - maybe I didn't take any and Sparkle took lots? Diana and I talked about this place and I intend to go back, so maybe when/if Karen comes to visit.

So I brought this topic back up so others can be reminded of this neat place.

Am going to visit Beth in March - the 24th thru the 31st. Definitely want to see the Biosphere and of course, the Desert Museum. I'm staying in Eloy, AZ at the Desert Valley RV Resort. Anyone interested in joining us??

Maybe....depends on when Karen S is leaving Texas. I'll let you know, I'd love to go see the biosphere.

This will definitely be on our list for our upcoming visit to AZ in January. There is so much to do in Tucson. I wonder if we'll make it any further west?? :lol: :lol:

Hi Everybody
I was at the Biosphere on Monday. What a surprise to see Sparkle's excellent commentary on the Forum today. Her spirit lives on. The tour is $18 for seniors and definitely worth it. Biosphere 1 is the Earth we live on. We all must be committed to protecting it, because our lives depend on it.

When I was in England, we went to something similar. It was called the Eden Project in Cornwall. I found it immensely interesting and would love to go back - or go to see the Biosphere 2 when we are in AZ if Mark is game and we can find something to do with the dogs.

Well, dang, Peggy - you are so close - we need to get together if we can.
