News Alert: Flooding in the ASU Biocollections.
Check out our BioKIC Instagram Account.
The ASU Natural History Collections are available for visits.
Please note:
The collections are not a museum, but an active research facility. We try to accommodate “walk-ins” during weekdays (typically from 9 am to 5 pm), but if you plan to visit, especially with larger groups, we recommend first reaching out to our collection manager of vascular plants Elizabeth Makings.
We very much welcome school classes and visitors of all ages. Our collections managers are research professionals who much enjoy talking about our research on biodiversity. The collections do not currently charge an entrance fee, but if you enjoyed your visit, we suggest you may consider supporting us through the ASU Foundation. Our services are free, but please consider what a visit to a similar facility (Desert Botanic Garden, Phoenix Zoo, Mesa Museum of Natural History, etc.) might otherwise cost you.
As of 2014 the collections are housed in a new 24,000 sq. ft. space located about 1.5 miles southwest of Arizona State University’s Tempe Campus, at 734 West Alameda Drive. We welcome general visitors and biodiversity enthusiasts of all ages, and provide work space and equipment available for biodiversity researchers under diverse arrangements.
Our new location has immediate, abundant, and free parking opportunities for students and the general public, located east of the Alameda Building. Please choose the southeast entrance of the Building to find our Collections Atrium and Outreach Lab, then proceed to the research collections. We hope to see you soon and often.
