Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center
Excellent visitor center and shop.
Staff here are great and you should talk to them if you have questions about your visit, or would like some advice on things to see and do.
The gift shop is very similar to most other NP gift shops, and has a range of items from postcards and T-shirts to games.
A small museum is located at the back of the gift shop and has useful information about the history of the area and the park. Worth a visit for sure.
Restrooms here are excellent.
Drinking fountains here as well with bottle fill-ups. No water inside the park so fill up here.

Southern Arizona Transportation Museum
Great little museum!
This hidden gem of a museum lies adjacent to the Tucson Amtrak station. Be prepared to see and hear plenty of trains nearby.
The museum is run by volunteers and has a wealth of information. Detailing the history of the railroad in Tucson and Arizona, the museum paints a detailed picture of the railroad story. The amount of detail they include in the information signs is incredible.
Combining a mix of displays, including interactive and audio, the museum will appeal to visitors of most ages. The life stories of people who worked on the railroad made the visit even more interesting and memorable. Plenty of original parts, clocks, and uniforms to name a few.
Parking is good. There are plenty of metered spots right by charging $1 an hour. An hour to an hour and a half is more than enough.
They ask for a $5 donation and it's well worth it.

Garden of Gethsemane
This delightful little sculpture garden is situated in a fairly peaceful section of the riverbank. With well maintained paths and a wheelchair accessible entrance and ramps.
The information sign about the sculptor is very informative and altogether the garden has a wonderful atmosphere.
Parking is good and plentiful and the sculptures themselves are beautiful and have a great history. They are more than worth seeing. Expect to spend about 10-15 minutes here on average.

Pod
Fun looking sculpture with an interactive element.
Not much to say about it really. If you move your head from side to side quickly enough while it's moving it looks like it's standing still.
Oh, it's made from metal.
