 A paradise for birders |
300 East University Boulevard Tucson, AZ 85705 United States +1 520 629 0510 http://www.tucsonaudubon.org/n... |
Audubon Nature Shop is a must stop for nature lovers and dedicated bird watchers during any stay in Tucson! The enthusiastic, friendly volunteers here will tell you all about the 450 species of birds traveling through the area every year. (And it's not just cactus wrens, buzzards and vultures!) The staff will also point you to the best bird-watching areas and provide you with a multitude of books and maps to safely guide you there. Or, sign up for one of the guided field trips. The staff is happy to ship materials anywhere in the U.S. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Space for the living arts |

The Museum of Contemporary Art, formerly known as the non-profit Toole Shed Studios Artists Collective, houses about 15 artists and includes meeting space, classrooms and private studios. Tucson artists have turned an ugly unused warehouse into an art center bustling with activity all day long, contributing their share to the Tucson downtown revival movement. With gallery owner Elizabeth Cherry now running the place, the museum is destined to be at the cutting edge of contemporary art. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A moving museum |
360 East Eighth Street (Fourth Avenue and Eighth Street) Tucson, AZ 85705 United States +1 520 792 1802 http://www.oldpueblotrolley.org RGGuthrie@att.net |
For a taste of historic Tucson, take a ride on one of the track trolleys leaving from the University of Arizona's main gate (University Boulevard and Park Boulevard) on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays. This all-volunteer "museum" has reinstated and refurbished the trolley system that was carrying passengers around downtown Tucson from 1906 to 1930. It has definitely given the city a return of its old charm. Review © 2007, Wcities |
