Things To Do
Round1 Bowling & Amusement
This is where Doug proposed to Ali. So, yea, it's pretty special. Round1 is a Japanese-style arcade with a myriad of games to play. Doug and Ali love spending time downstairs at the claw machines.
Rock Solid Climbing + Fitness
Doug's favorite place to go rock climbing. If you're down to boulder, call Doug!
Tumamoc Hill Hiking Trail
Ali hikes Tumamoc every Sunday morning with Mary Jeanne. If you have time, she highly recommends! The view at the top is worth it. The trail is paved, but it does get to a pretty steep incline in about 5 spots.
Sentinel Peak
A short drive up the mountain will show you breathtaking views of Tucson. If you don't think Tumamoc is something you can do, Doug and Ali highly recommend driving up "A" Mountain to see all of Tucson.
F45 Training St. Philips
This is Ali's F45 gym. She will undoubtedly be going every morning up until the day before the wedding, then again the Monday after. Hit her up if you want to join!
R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy
This is where Doug and Ali met (specifically in the Medical Library). We don't necessarily recommend you go out of your way to visit here, but the campus is pretty gorgeous. There is a clear walking path/tram ride to main campus as well, where you can walk around The Mall. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops to enjoy on University as well.
Topgolf
Doug loves losing to Ali at Top Golf.
Tucson Mall
If you forgot to pack something and need a mall to go to, Tucson Mall would be the closest.
Main Event Tucson
Pretty much the American version of Round1. They have a ropes course, pool tables, and bowling too. This Main Event was just built and is newer than the other one in town.
Mt Lemmon Cookie Cabin
If you have an extra few hours to spare, Doug and Ali recommend driving up Mt. Lemmon and enjoying a cookie and a slice of pizza from The Cookie Cabin. The views on the drive are spectacular and it's so cool turning a corner and seeing nature change from cactus to pine trees.
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
An outdoor desert "zoo" where you can see local flora and fauna.
Reid Park Zoo
Ali loves going to the zoo multiple times a year. Whenever they have special events, she goes with Tracy and Elena and takes lots of pictures. They are currently expanding the zoo so parts of it are under constructions, but maybe once March rolls around they will be done. Still worth a visit!
Splitting Timber Axe Throwing Tucson
Doug and Ali love going to Splitting Timbers for a quick 1 hour date. If you end up winning, they let you throw the "big axe" that was supposedly thrown by Jason Mamoa! The other axe throwing company in town has ninja stars you can throw, but Doug and Ali like Splitting Timbers more.
Biosphere 2
This place is super unique and a cool experience. It's called Biosphere "2" because Earth is Biosphere 1. They do biological research on survivability and ultimately have helped further ecological understanding. Ali thought Doug told her once that Biosphere 2 discovered that trees require wind to survive in an enclosed structure, but Doug does not remember this.
