Beautiful desert and mountain scenery merges with cosmopolitan culture in this southern Arizona city. Explore the natural history museum and botanical garden at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, see bearded dragons and two-toed sloths at Reid Park Zoo, and admire an impressive collection of modern and contemporary works at the Tucson Museum of Art. For some outdoor enjoyment, go for a peaceful stroll in John K. Kennedy Park, ride an environmentally friendly electric shuttle while soaking up spectacular vistas at Sabino Canyon, or hike the scenic trails of Tucson Mountain Park. Old Tucson offers tours detailing the film and production history of this western studio and theme park while the Tucson Mall is packed with shops and restaurants. Attend a family-friendly musical comedy at The Gaslight Theatre, trek through a cave with cool rock formations at Colossal Cave Mountain Park, or catch a big-name concert at the historic Rialto Theatre. After you’ve exhausted Tucson attractions, you can cross the border into Nogales, Mexico, 68 miles away.
