Things To Do
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
This is our absolute favorite place in Tucson! It's part zoo, part botanical garden, all fun. The Desert Museum is a great way to see all that Tucson has to offer, including native plants and animals.
Saguaro National Park West
Add this to your Desert Museum trip! Even just a drive through is worth it.
Mount Lemmon
We get it, it's HOT. If you need some relief, Mt Lemmon will take you on a magical trip of varying landscapes and wildlife. It is 25* cooler at the top, as well! Download the Mt Lemmon Scenic Byway Audio Tour App for added fun on your drive up!
Tucson Botanical Gardens
A botanical garden where you can appreciate all the wildflowers and greenery Tucson has to offer (yes, it does get green here).
Tohono Chul | Gardens, Galleries, and Bistro
Great for brunch or Jazz under the stars on Friday nights! There is also a small botanical garden to stroll through.
Roadrunner Coffee Co.
Our favorite local drive-thru coffee shop. Various locations around Tucson.
Buendia Breakfast & Lunch Café
Mexican Breakfast/Lunch spot where every entree is served with a sprinkle of 'Alegria'! You can't miss their Cafe de Olla (contains cinnamon).
Tucson Hop Shop
Brewhouse/beer garden with a pizza shop next door
