Things To Do in Tucson
The University of Arizona
The heart of Tucson and the happiest place on Earth. Tour the campus' scenic Mall stretch and Old Main as well as Greek Row. There are tons of great restaurants, bars and shops on University Blvd on the west side of campus.
Sabino Canyon Recreation Area
Sabino Canyon offers many beautiful views and a gradual hiking trail into the canyon itself. This is very close to our Wedding Venue!
Mount Lemmon
Mount Lemmon is the largest peak of the Catalina mountains, which are the backdrop to our wedding venue. There are many hikes and trails to do throughout the mountain as well as gorgeous scenic drives and a great restaurant called The Iron Door at the top! Fun fact: Windy Point vista is where we took our engagement photos!
Saguaro National Park
Saguaro National Park lies on both the East and West sides of Tucson. The west side is easily accessible and has the best sunset views in the desert (in my not-so-humble opinion). East side is more mountainous and better for longer hikes.
Downtown
Downtown Tucson has had a massive revitalization in the past few years which has brought many excellent bars, breweries, shops, restaurants and more to the area. Easily accessible by Sun Link tram or car off the I-10.
La Encantada
This high end shopping center has multiple great restaurants to try and lies in the middle of the Catalina Foothills. North Italia was the location of our first date and dinner out together! Also located here is Blanco, a great mexican restaurant with a view of the city.
Frog & Firkin
Frog & Firkin is THE premier daytime patio drinking experience around the UofA campus. Located on the west side of campus this pub-style bar has a great beer selection and tons of food to choose from.
Miss Saigon
A great near-campus Veitnamese restaurant that serves up amazing Pho and spring rolls. Some say the Pho soup will cure any hangover... or at least that's what we've heard.
Teresa's Mosaic Cafe
Mosaic is an outstanding mexican restaurant on the west side of Tucson where Chase has spent many lunch dates with Grandma Mary Cromwell through college and after. In-house tortillas and mexican meats make this place a favorite. P.S. the dining room has a view of the city as it is up on a foothill.
El Charro Café
El Charro Cafe is a Tucson institution of amazing mexican food that features their own signature sun-dried meat called Carne Seca. There are multiple locations around Tucson. We recommend the one closest to campus or on Oracle near the foothills.
