Botanists will enjoy this somewhat pricey but excellent desert museum and its trails and gardens. It also has great free access to restrooms, water, electricity, WiFi, and both outside tables as well as a cooled sitting area and gift shop.

I would describe it more as a park than a museum.
Not exactly cheap, but very nice. Bring your time and walk around and look at everything in peace!
It's better to avoid lunchtime in summer! But you can always cool off in the rooms every now and then ;-)
