The Osoyoos Desert Centre is a nature education facility where visitors learn about desert ecology, habitat restoration and the protection of endangered ecosystems in the semi-arid shrubland of the southern Okanagan. Visitors are invited to explore the desert on a tour along a boardwalk. The Desert Centre, located north of Osoyoos on Highway 97, is operated by the Osoyoos Desert Society, a non-profit organization and is open annually from May to early October.
