Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center, Borrego Springs

This visitor center is the top informational resource of the Anza-Borrego Desert landscape, located east of San Diego. With a slide show every thirty minutes, providing year-round photographs of the Anza-Borrego area, you see the desert environment in all seasons. Exhibits at the visitor center highlight desert plants and animals. Just outside the building, all plants and trees are labeled, and desert pupfish (an almost extinct type of fish) dwell in a nearby pond. Geological exhibits are also available as well as displays featuring Native American history.
