Tubac Village

Tubac Village is worth seeing! The Village map is here: http://tubacaz.com/village-map/ DIRECTIONS TO TUBAC FROM TUCSON: From Interstate 10 in Tucson, take Interstate 19 South toward Nogales, Mexico. Continue on I-19 for approximately 45 miles past Sahuarita, Green Valley and Amado Take the second Tubac Exit #34. As you approach the exit you will see Tubac village on the left/east side of the highway. From the exit ramp, turn left/east under the highway. Proceed to the East Frontage Road and turn left/north.

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

This is an outdoor museum. Wear sneakers and bring water! You’ll see both plants and animals like javelinas.

Colossal Cave Mountain Park

Mount Lemmon

This is a whole day trip! 8000 feet up and they have a Cookie Cabin. Lots of amazing views on the car ride up!

Tumacacori-Carmen National Park

This national park is located right off of 19. It is farily small. Wear sneakers! The National Park Service website is here: https://www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm

The Italian Peasant

Restaurant Our friends the Cerames and Gary refer to this as "The IP". Our favorite dishes are the eggplant parmigiana (the large is enough for several meals!) and a side of meatballs.

Wisdom's Cafe

We never miss a trip to see Herb at Wisdom's Cafe. He makes the best margaritas with fresh squeezed limes. Don't miss the fruit burritos for dessert. Dos Wisdoms is his second place in Tubac Village. I love the fish tacos!

Stables Ranch Grille & Bar at Tubac Golf Resort

Don't miss a drink at the Tubac Golf Resort in Stables! There also is indoor and outdoor seating for lunch and dinner. The food is fabulous!

Tubac Market

Tubac Market is located next to the Italian Peasant and is a short drive from the Tubac Resort. We love their breakfast burritos with chorizo, which you order at the back of the store. The market has a small grocery section as well as a small supply of wines (relative to Safeway or Giant).

Desert Diamond Casino

Slots, gaming tables, and Keno, but no hotel rooms. This is one of four casinos. The one in Tucson has hotel rooms.

Titan Missile Museum

Proclaimed an Arizona Treasure by former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, the Titan Missile Museum is a unique facility that is comprised of two parts: The Count Ferdinand von Galen Titan Missile Museum Education and Research Center, and the Titan Missile National Historic Landmark. The Count Ferdinand von Galen Titan Missile Museum Education and Research Center is situated directly adjacent to the launch complex and houses an exhibit gallery, museum store, classroom, and an archival storage area. The Titan Missile National Historic Landmark is former Titan II launch complex 571-7. This former operational missile site was originally part of the 571st Strategic Missile Squadron (SMS), 390th Strategic Missile Wing (SMW), Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB), Arizona. It is the sole remaining Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) complex of the 54 that were “on alert” during the Cold War between 1963 and 1987.

La Paloma De Tubac

This is our favorite place to shop for local gifts and decor!
