 A glimpse of the Sonoran Desert |
2021 North Kinney Road Tucson, AZ 85743 United States +1 520 883 1380 info@desertmuseum.org |
This world-famous museum is rather a zoo displaying the creatures of the surrounding desert in their natural habitats. Located in the middle of the Sonoran desert about a half an hour drive from the city center, it also provides breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The gift shop has an excellent selection of Sonoran desert souvenirs. This is a must for any visitor staying in Tucson for more than just one day. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Hug a horse, feed the chickens |
6611 North Taylor Lane (20 miles west of I-10, Ina Road exit) Tucson, AZ 85743 United States +1 520 682 8009 |
Enjoy horseback riding and goat hugging offered by owners Connie and Al Kazal on their ranch in the rugged foothills of the Tucson Mountains. Bring your children, lots of film and a picnic basket including plenty of bread, (to feed the chickens). But be sure to call ahead for reservations. Take pictures of your kids hugging the horses and feeding the goats. Grandparents are known to enjoy this kind of stuff, too. Visit the gift shop before you leave. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Polar bears in Tucson...? |
1100 South Randolph Way Tucson, AZ 85716 United States +1 520 791 3204 |
While not being in the major league of zoos, this is still one of the major attractions in the city. Due to its relatively small size, the zoo can be explored at a leisurely pace in less than two hours. The animals are on display in pleasant natural settings. Chances are you will envy the two polar bear cubs as they happily float in ice-cold water while you're chafing in the 90+ degree Tucson summer heat. Review © 2007, Wcities |
