We are now offering Capsicum chacoense in our Mountain House Gift Shop! Spice up your garden with this wild chile pepper native to the Chaco region of South America. Considered the species closest to the ancestral Capsicum and possibly the “mother of all peppers,” it is rare in cultivation, but not difficult to care for. It is a high yield plant producing many small and mildly hot peppers. A must for any collector!

Sign ups are open for Rodeo Break day camp! Join us as we wrangle together all the best kid activities the museum has to offer. Meet live animals, touch stingrays, explore secret passages in the cave, play in the Packrat Playhouse, make cool crafts, and more! Students need to bring their own snacks and lunch, water bottle, hat, and wear sturdy shoes and layered clothes for the weather.
