Organ Stop Pizza

Pizza restaurant

Gift shop

Airy spot featuring a menu of pizza & Italian fare plus live music from a massive Wurlitzer organ.

Slide 1 of 3

A very unique experience. I love the live music and the fact they took all requests. I thought the Jurassic Park song was absolutely fantastic. The pizza was surprisingly good and well priced. Definitely glad I had an ice cream sundae while I was there.

Wow amazing! Super cool place to grab some pizza. Food wise the pizza was fresh, crisp, and very tasty. The Organ music was fun and definitely something different to add a cool experience to a pizza dinner. Good ice cream for dessert. Only downside was no free refills on soda but hey 6 bucks for a pitcher doesn't break the bank so it's all good. A +++

World’s Largest Wurlitzer Pipe Organ in a Pizza shop, need I say more. Inexpensive food, rotating stage, dancing cat puppets, magical performances by the super talented artists who play on requests. I stayed there for an hour even though I ate the food in 5 minutes. Good selection in salad bar too. I have a 3000 location bucket list and this made it to my 100 absolute favorite.

Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum

This go-to for displays & rides in historic warplanes features a 1944 B-17G bomber & an F4 Phantom.

Slide 1 of 4

Photo courtesy of Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation Museum. The Commemorative Air Force seeks to preserve a flying example of every aircraft from WWII, and the Arizona Wing is home to some of the most famous airplanes of the era, including the B-17G Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey (still in flying condition after all these years). The Arizona Wing has also recently completed the restoration of a B-25J Mitchell.

Nice little museum. The service men are very helpful and knowledgeable. My girls went on the cockpit tour. I was able to enjoy the tour but not the cockpits. Probably best because they are pretty small. Lots to look at and you see able to get a close up look at the engines and cockpits. You can also see the maintenance bay where they are working on some planes.

This isn’t your average airplane museum, a lot of these planes are still flown today. You can even arrange a ride in the B17G Flying Fortress! The staff were all veterans and were very helpful. Aircraft from WWII up to the Gulf war. If you love military aircraft, this is a must see.

Tour guides are very knowledgeable and they encourage photography. We got to walk on an actual plane that was in World War II. I had a lot of fun. There’s a park not too far down the street that you can go to and have a nice picnic with the kiddos or just with friends.

Shamrock Farms Farm Tour

Dairy farm

Farms

Slide 1 of 3

Great tour of the dairy farm, was really surprised about how nice the facilities are compared to other dairy farms we've been to and driven by. Kids loved it, would definitely recommend. Only wish we could tie the processing plant in Phoenix.

The tour was great. It took about an hour. You start the experience by walking around their museum and gift shop. Towards the back of the room is the mess hall, where you can get ice cream (8 flavors to choose from), hot dogs and pretzels. Don't expect a great dining experience, but it is fun. I wish there was a place here to buy their products. They sell small milks... but nothing else. I have never seen their ice cream before and wanted to bring some home (yes, we had a cooler in the car) but they don't sell it unless you get it in a cone or bowl.

I know a thing or two about milk cows as have uncles in Minnesota that raised crops and had milk cows. Cows very smart actually and know their pecking place when enter stalls, know when time to get milked. Tour was very informative especially on the large scale presented to us. Great time, very good tour. Recommend it for kids/families visiting AZ grand parents for a nice day outing.

Slide 1 of 3

Pretty fun place! Lots to do and see. I like that you pay per experience and not a general admission. The zip line looks sketchy but it really isn't. We enjoyed the train ride and seeing all of the cacti around the little ghost town. We ate at the little stand towards the front of the park and the food was amazing. There were lots of fun little shops to browse. We really enjoyed the American Indian store they had some beautiful pieces of artwork inside. It was very hard not to buy everything!

A fun old western town tourist attraction for the family. There is free parking and no cost to visit. There are live western shows happening throughout the day on the street with live actors. Souvenir and art shops. Lots of other activities available on a pay-per-activity bases. Horse-back riding, train rides, reptile room, mine tour, jeep rides, etc. It was very busy on the day that we visited.

Such a cool spot. First time here and we love it. We loved everything from gold panning, train , mine tour, zip lines and the mystery shack to the steak house. Wow what a wonderful day we had. So if you have time stop by. You won't regret it. The beautiful mountain ⛰ 😍 is spectacular.

Lost Dutchman State Park

Scenic desert hiking trails, picnic facilities, 72 campsites, wildlife, restrooms & showers.

Slide 1 of 3

WOW. This is such a beautiful state park. The views get more incredible as you go up to flat iron peak. When the sun is setting, it lights up this park in such a surreal way. Definitely a highlight of visiting the Phoenix area. Will definitely return!

We stayed 4 nights @ Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Jct , about 30 miles east of The Phoenix area. It got rave reviews from others and we agree. The suburbs do come up to the edge of the park in some places but that’s not a huge negative. You do need to make your camping reservation well in advance. Only a few sites have electric but many campers, including ourselves have solar panels which stayed charged in the bright AZ sun. The 5 days of our visit, daytime temps were in the low 90’s even in March . So plan to hike early in the day, even starting before sunrise, especially for Siphon Draw, the most popular hike in the park. Tonto National forest borders the Superstition Wilderness area so there are additional hiking, biking , horseback riding options just outside Lost Dutchman State Park

The entrance fee is $10 per vehicle. Honestly, that's a bargain considering the excellent scenery, and numerous walking/hiking/mountain bike trails, and an nice brochure with a map of the park. Several restrooms and parking areas are also available.

Barleens Dinner Show

Dinner theater

Concerts & Shows

Performances

Slide 1 of 3

We went as a group to Barleens, we got there at 5pm, dinner is served at 6pm and the show starts at 7pm. Everything goes smoothly, you get plenty to eat and drink. Waitresses are plenty and attentive. The show appeals to all adult interests from Satchmo(Louis Armstrong), country classics and contemporary music, ends with an emotional tribute to our country. It’s a class act and I can’t wait to return.

Went to Barleens last night for my birthday and key points to hit on is announcements were said at half time saying happy birthday to people in the audience 69, 73, 80 and me 28 now I thought maybe I'm in the wrong place? But as the food was served and the music played I knew my mama raised me right with hearing the variety show and knowing most the tunes. It was highly enjoyable Another thing I noticed is as they asked whose first time it was only me and my family really cheered so they are packed with regulars who love their food and music!!! what a wonderful night I had and will be recommending more northern arizona family to make their way over. The last two songs honored our military and our country at the end of the night it was a nice send off.

A must do when you are near Apache Junction. Dinner was very good, the cake was amazing. Very talented entertainers. The music went on and on with a yummy root beer float during intermission. I can’t wait to go back!!!

Queen Creek Olive Mill

Gourmet market & restaurant starring locally produced olive oil & specialty foods plus mill tours.

Slide 1 of 3

Everyone should visit!! Was quite busy when we arrived but the staff handled it very well! Wonderful selection of foods on the menu! Fresh and delicious! Love the store and selections of olive oils as well as vinegars! The outside area is amazing as well! Didn’t get a chance to go on a tour but will next time. Definitely planning on visiting again!

I visited Queen Creek Olive Mill on my trip to visiting family. This place was so dope. They had olive oil products that were unusual to me like gelato and lip balm. They also had some food, fresh pasta, hot sauce, gift sets with different olive oil herbs and desserts. I enjoyed my time here. They have tours, but I didn't get to go on it.

A week later. . . The linguine & meatball today the pasta was all stuck together. Very disappointed from our last visit. The Pasta Carbonara was on point. The canolies we're amazing but the orange cupcake frosting was amazing but the cupcake was dry and lacked flavor. The consistency doesn't seem to be there. From our Italian to another please get some consistency down. Delicious lunch but lots of choices for any meal. Open and airy seating. So many choices to try all at once. Can't wait to come back and try something new! Food was excellent!

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument

National park

Nature & Parks

1300s-era Hohokam compound in the desert comprising a 4-story house, ballcourt & irrigation canals.

Slide 1 of 3

Very interesting place to visit. Lots of very old history that is well explained. Absolutely free admission which is amazing. Good exhibits inside as well as good information outside. You can get right next to the actual ruins and walk among them.

Cara Grande Ruins is a very interesting site. The reason for the structure is not totally clear but the size is quite grand for a structure that old. Even without a guided tour, the signs have a good idea of the history and the people and their practices from the time of the structures in the complex. The store on site was nice without a lot of touristy items and since this is a fairly lightly visited site, it was not busy.

It's a really cool site to visit. I really like it because it's a self guided tour, and you can get right up next to it! A fascinating piece of architecture and history!! I highly recommend it!!

Slide 1 of 3

I have been here twice now, about a year ago seeking a thrill just having a tough time with life , and on Sat I took my son for his 20th birthday , my first jump I got the video and picture package, 100% worth it , for my son's first jump I also got him the video and picture package. I however didn't feel the need to get the package for my second tandem . Both visits were amazing not only because of the experience of skydiving but the intense knowledge the instructors have to keep you and themselves safe during a tandem jump , the office staff and load out staff are amazing at keeping things rolling along but they have to deal with so much more than the public will understand. When we were there they were doing what's called a 100 way which is 100 people linking up in the sky , we got to see them 2 times while waiting for our instructors to be ready for our jump , if I could give them 10 stars I would . I can't wait to be able to take their school to get my class A license

First visit to Eloy and for sure will not be the last. Fantastic facility with everything you need right on site, everyone I met was very friendly and full of advice. I left Eloy after a weeks skydiving a far more knowledgeable and capable skydiver! Super easy check-in, bunkhouse is perfect, manifest is a breeze & so many loads a day, just need a second rig to do even more! Heading back down in a few weeks to the USA’s skydiving Mecca!

This is an amazing drop zone with awesome staff working hard to keep you safe and jumping often. I always have a great time when I come here, and they make it super easy for jumpers to stay long term with the facilities.

Slide 1 of 3

Wonderful experience! I am fairly new to orthodoxy and stopped by while in town from out of state. I ended up spending several hours here walking the beautiful grounds and the churches. The place is like an oasis in both a spiritual and physical sense. It is one of those places where you meet strangers and quickly feel a connection because you are all pilgrims on the same journey. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend some time. Make sure to dress modestly. Men and Women should cover up with ankle length pants for men and skirts for women. Shirt's should be long sleeve. Well worth the drive.

This is truly a holy and blessed place to visit. Whether you're orthodox, Christian or not even religious, this is a beautiful Oasis to visit in the middle of the desert. They have groves of olive oil trees, Orange trees and lemon trees on the holy compound. The people there are very friendly and informative and they have a wonderful gift shop with many items as well as olive oil made from their own olive oil trees, olives, and many other nice gifts. There is a strict dress code so make sure you take notice of that before visiting. I visited last time, kind of a last minute thing, and they had plenty of extra clothes to borrow if necessary as I had no pants to wear and only shorts since I was visiting in the summer. This beautiful and holy compound has multiple gorgeous churches laid throughout and many water fountain as well. It literally is a tropical Oasis in the middle of the desert. Truly a holy experience that you will never forget. A must do bucket list item for all devoted Orthodox Christians!

Worth a visit! All of our kids had an amazing time! Animals were gentle and happy to see us. The sting ray feeding was definitely worth the extra few dollars. They vacuumed the food right from the kid’s fingers and they loved it! It was a unique experience. The lorikeet feeding was also noteworthy! I’m kinda afraid of parrots, but these little guys were so nice and I enjoyed their company. It took us a little over an hour to feed all the critters and redo the goat penthouse feeding, because the kids really loved the pulley system. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. They were so sweet checking on our kids and they even checked back in with us to make sure we had a great experience when we were done. Go check them out and enjoy making some memories!

Fun place to visit. Kids and adults had a blast. Our favorite were the miniature donkeys! The sheep were also very sweet. You can make this a quick stop or go slow and enjoy the animals.

Okay, this spot!! Where can ya go for $15 and have unlimited fun in such a clean, well kept and family friendly place where the kids and adults all will have a great time. These animals are taken care of so well that some aren't even interested in eating out of your hand. From the time you walk into the orientation (worth the trip alone) to the extremely social birds and so on... the while property is nestled into the most scenic backdrop and the property is very well maintained. Whether you want to rush through or honestly enjoy the animals and the day... you can't go wrong. If you can't appreciate what they have done and provide here at the Ostrich Farm then ya probably don't get along well anywhere because this place just makes you smile, makes the kids happy and makes adults little kids again. 1hr from the Valley... what a gem!

How have I lived out this way for all these years and never even knew of this place? LOVE IT! What a perfect little spot for a small, simple, outdoor wedding! What better backdrop could one hope for? Plus a great place to take out of town company to to see the desert sights and grab some touristy items and local honey and treats! #Wedding Venue

This is a Visitor center for Saguaro National park. Since this National park is not visited by tourists in large numbers, this visitor center is smaller and not equipped to handle for more people. There was a list maintained to give entry to limited number of people inside visitor center.

I car camped there while waiting for the sunrise and it was perfect. The Red Hills Center has access to all ♿. A visit there is like a visit to the entire National Park.

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Natural history museum

Shopping

Natural history museum combining live animal exhibits & demonstrations with botanical gardens.

Slide 1 of 6

Home to cacti, coyotes and palm-sized hummingbirds, this 98-acre ode to the Sonoran Desert is one-part zoo, one-part botanical garden and one-part museum – a trifecta that'll entertain young and old for easily half a day. Desert denizens, from precocious coatis to playful prairie dogs, inhabit natural enclosures, the grounds are thick with desert plants, and docents give demonstrations. Strollers and wheelchairs are available, and there's a gift shop, an art gallery, a restaurant and a cafe.

Spend a few hours exploring the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, just down the hill. Next, head back over the Tucson Mountains to downtown and stroll, shop, and eat a late lunch or early dinner on 4th Avenue and nearby Main Gate Square. If you have it in you, barhop around Congress Street, 4th Avenue, and Main Gate Square, taking in a few bands at The Hut and Club Congress along the way.

The name "museum" is a bit misleading, since this delightful site is actually a zoo, aquarium, and botanical garden featuring the animals,…

This is one of the nicest museums I have ever visited. Entry is expensive, but you can tell they really use that money to maintain the premises. The bathrooms were clean and even had sunblock dispensers. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the highlights was the raptor flight demonstration. I really enjoyed watching the birds and learning about how unique the Harris hawks are in the bird world. The variety of cactus and other desert plants was another highlight. I had no idea there was such a variety of life in the desert. If you're in the area, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

This place is special. I love Botanic Gardens, but to have all the desert plants and flowers makes it unique and fascinating. It is also a great walk through the desert with a gorgeous view. I love the MINERAL EXHIBIT and the aquarium exhibit. The minerals are in a cave exhibit which looks like the real thing. SO COOL. The Hummingbird Aviary was dreamy. There is SO much to see and do. You could probably see the highlights in an hour or two. But I could spend days just getting lost in this wonderful place. Definitely remember how HOT it is. Many people were complaining already. Just remember, it's the desert. ;) And, keep your paper map! Your phone probably won't have service either. So good to know if you want to split up. And you can see a lot but don't have to do the loop through the desert unless you want to; especially if you have young kids or are concerned about the heat. It's a nice walk but you see mostly the same things near the entrance. Even the Gift Shop was amazing. I am not much of a shopper, but this was full of gorgeous pottery and minerals and books and Prickly Pear Taffy! The snack bar there has delicious drinks too! I loved the AGAVE LIMEADE! And the Prickly Pear Lemonade was delicious. The staff and all of the volunteers were wonderful people. The whole experience was good for my Soul. Thank you so much!

I went for the plants and there were a lot in bloom.Would have been nice if the animals were more visible. Need to be very patient to see any birds. We went at 8:30 am, which was nice,cause it got hotter more crowded and noisier by 10 am. Great gift shops. Loved the geology exhibit with the rocks and minerals.

Slide 1 of 3

Our first visit was back in February 2019 just before the pandemic shut everything down. We had an amazing tour guide who took us throughout the entire facility including the underneath part. Our second visit in January 2022 was a little different, we had to download an app to download tour guide videos, and didn't have access to go underneath the facility like our first visit. Regardless, it was a wonderful experience and my mother who joined us on our second visit enjoyed it.

What a unique and fascinating site to visit! I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in biology or space exploration. Using a QR code presented at the front desk my group was able to take a video tour of the facility. It was so interesting to see the living quarters and notes of participants in the self sustaining facility Biosphere 2 experiment along with the beauty and design of each of the artificial environments. With a gorgeous view of the mountains, sculptures, beautiful landscaping, and donated minerals and fossilized wood in between each stop in the tour there was never a dull moment.

My wife and I had a great time here. With a gorgeous scenery, that makes for some great photos. I also enjoyed there user friendly app. Which takes you step by step and with great insight on what the scientist went through and their goals. Best time to go would be the cooler months. There is walking and the rainforest section is SUPER humid.

Compact desert habitat includes various cacti, demonstration garden, art displays & exhibits.

Slide 1 of 22

After wandering the gardens of Tohono Chul Park, visit three diverse shops on the property: La Fuente features contemporary pottery art, children’s books, Southwest cookbooks and regional foods inside a Spanish Colonial-style home; La Galeria sells American Indian jewelry, Oaxacan folk art, Mata Ortiz pottery, hiking guides and educational materials inside a Santa Fe-style home; and La Entrada is a retail greenhouse, selling a variety of plants and cacti, books and garden accessories.

Tohono Chul Park is a 49-acre botanical garden, cultural museum, and nature preserve. Tohono Chul means “desert corner” in the language of the indigenous Tohono O’odham people of southern Arizona. Located in Casas Adobes, a suburb of Tucson, the objective of Tohono Chul Park is to teach visitors about the art, culture, and nature of the Sonoran Desert area, allowing them to better appreciate and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Tohono Chul is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, having been named one of the country’s greatest botanical gardens by Travel & Leisure. This park, which spans approximately 50 acres, is described as a location “where nature, art, and culture collide.”. The Tohono Chul, located on the approach to Catalina State Park, connects visitors to the Sonoran Desert’s awe-inspiring art, wildlife, and culture.

Located on the way to Catalina State Park is the Tohono Chul, connecting people to the awe-inspiring art, nature and culture of the Sonoran Desert region. This acts as both a botanical garden and cultural museum, its name literally means ‘Desert Corner’, in the local indigenous language. Founded in 1985, the peaceful property has gorgeous gardens to amble, dotted with wild and native flowers, shrubs and trees.

A post shared by Tohono Chul (@tohonochul) on Feb 26, 2019 at 11:30am PST. The Tohono Chul Park is a wonderful destination that offers three distinct experiences, which include a nature preserve, a botanical garden, and a cultural museum. This park can be found at 7366 N Paseo Del Norte and comes with a sizable parking lot that’s certain to have some spaces available no matter when you visit.

For shopping with a twist of local nature, arts and culture, nothing tops the Tohono Chul (7366 N. Paseo del Norte 85704) experience, where three emporiums offer diverse options in an award-winning complex. The gift shop displays an exceptional collection of Southwest-inspired books, jewelry and pottery. Another market offers desert-influenced goodies and locally authored children’s books.

Like the Cafe a la C’Art, the Garden Bistro at Tohono Chul offers another nice attractive garden like dining space in Tucson. In an area where heavy tree coverage is not the norm, these lush patios come in as a real treat. In fact, you may even forget you are in the desert as coming here for brunch feels like a mini trip to a tropical oasis.

For shopping with a spot of local nature, art and culture, nothing tops the Tohono Chul experience, where three retail outlets offer assorted choices in an honor winning complex. The gift shop shows an uncommon assortment of Southwest-inspired books, adornments and stoneware. Another market offers desert-inspired treats and kids’ books.

Tohono Chul encompasses the natural habitat of the Sonoran Desert and takes care of a wide variety of flowers, trees, birds and bees. The park has a ‘adopt-a-bee’ program where you can be a part of the park’s many eco-friendly plans. For nature-lovers, the place ispeasant towalkaround and notice the butterflies and hummingbirds.

CaféWith seasonal menus based on local, fresh, and organic ingredients, this garden café is the perfect place for brunch. Grab a seat on one of the gorgeous patios, order a refreshing beverage of your choice, and take in the splendor of the Sonoran desert. Start or finish your trip to the café with a walk around the grounds.

Another beautiful site in Tucson, Tohono Chul Park features exhibits of plants and animals that you don’t see every day. The botanical gardens are hugely acclaimed for such how lush and diverse they are. From the Penstemon Garden to the Children’s Garden, every single one is cultivated like the Garden of Eden.

Husband-and-wife duo Richard and Jean Wilson began their desert collection in 1966 and used to live in the house now called the Tohono Chul Garden Bistro. Their vision during the park’s dedication ceremony was to inspire appreciation for conservation and obtain a greater understanding for natives.

After wandering the 49-acre botanical gardens at Tohono Chul, stop for a souvenir at one of three stores on property. Pick up birdwatching and regional cookbooks at La Fuente at the park founder's original home. At La Galeria, peruse American Indian jewelry and Oaxacan folk art.

Tohono Chul Park is an award-winning botanical garden in northwest Tucson. The park has been open for more than 25 years, bringing together nature, art and culture in unique and insightful exhibits. The park's gardens were designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

The Exhibit House, a restored 1937 adobe building, holds three galleries that feature local and regional artists in eclectic exhibitions that connect the nature, art, and culture of the Sonoran Desert.

Definite go to if you like nature and appreciate all its beauty. I finished all the trails within an hr but I was rushing through it. They have a bistro with calming outdoor ambience. Highly recommend. $15 per adult. Plenty of parking. Bring your camera for awesome shots.

This is among the BEST brunch I have ever had! Mimosas are amazing. The best French fries on the planet! Avocado toast was life changing. Setting was absolutely gorgeous! Service was great. Don’t walk, run to this bistro! Absolutely zero complaints whatsoever.

Coming from Maryland, this was the most unusual and delightful experience of my visit. Loved all of the special "zones." Such a unique couple of hours! The volunteers were soooo helpful. Loved the Bistro the night before--delicious! I can always find wonderful things to purchase in the gift shop--this is my second time here. I shushed a rattler off the street upon exiting the parking lot. Don't worry, I didn't get close to him. Will definitely be back next time I come to Tucson.

Incredibly beautiful! I drove up the mountain to see the sunrise multiple times (near Windy Point Vista). The shapes of the rocks are gorgeous and inspiring!

Picturesque Old West Americana at its finest! This was an incredible place to visit, and has an enriching topography that compels one to truly stand in awe of nature. Breathtaking and beautiful, this was a trip much enjoyed and a must if you’re in the Tucson area. Highly recommended!

Mount Lemmon is a must visit if you’re in the Tucson area. It’s a dramatically different landscape and scenery than what’s found in Tucson. The further you go up Mount Lemmon there are lots of trees, mountains, as well as a place to ski. It is a great place to visit if you enjoy bike riding, but it’s a very steep climb. There are numerous places to pull over to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend visit in Mount Lemmon.

San Xavier del Bac Mission

Catholic church

Sights & Landmarks

Completed in 1797, this iconic mission church features baroque architecture & painted artwork.

Slide 1 of 22

This Catholic mission built in 1783 about 10 miles south of downtown Tucson is generally considered the best example of Spanish Colonial architecture in the United States, but that description only scratches the surface of the beauty and history of this place. The interior and exterior are both breathtaking and the story of the church is a fascinating insight into the history of this region.

Completed in 1797, the Mission San Xavier del Bac was founded as a Catholic Mission and is now a National Historic Landmark. The building is the oldest intact European structure in the state and when you visit, you will feel like you have just time-traveled back to the 18th century. The mission is still used for religious purposes but visitors are welcome throughout the day and it is free to enter.

One of the most important historic sights in Arizona, the marvelous Mission San Xavier del Bac can be found to the south of the city center. Known as the ‘White Dove of the Desert’, the beautiful white Baroque building exhibits some of the finest remaining Spanish Colonial architecture in the country. Built between 1783 and 1797, the mission is remarkably the oldest European structure in Arizona.

If you are looking for a spot to take amazing pictures for Instagram, head to Mission San Xavier del Bac. The stunning architecture has a definite “Hotel California” vibe and is begging to be photographed. History buffs will be happy to hear this beautiful mission is open for guided tours- just make sure there are no special events scheduled.

San Xavier is considered one of the finest examples of Mission architecture in this country. Founded by Father Eusabio Kino, today it serves as the parish church for the Tohono O'odham tribe and often hosts concerts. The elaborate interior has been carefully restored using techniques taught by experts from the Vatican in Rome.

For lunch, go to El Charro Café, right near the museum, or to Cafe Poca Cosa, a short walk away, before taking a short drive south on I-19 and checking out San Xavier del Bac. In the late afternoon, drive into the foothills to Sabino Canyon Recreation Area and take a tram ride up into the canyon or hike one of the trails.

San Xavier del Bac is located southwest of Tucson and was founded by Spanish Jesuits in 1770 and is known as the “White Dove of the Desert.”. The mission buildings, especially the ornately built church, are excellent specimens of colonial Baroque architecture. The Tohono O’odham Indians still use it as a spiritual center.

The Mission San Xavier del Bac is among the favorite excursion spots of many Catholics around the world. It is named after Eugenio Kino, a Jesuit missionary who started preaching in the area around 1692. The church was built with touches of North-African and Iberian styles, which makes it unique and elegant.

If it isn’t obvious by now, judging by the place-names, Arizona was first colonized by Spaniards. After the first Spaniards arrived at the Santa Cruz River valley in 1692, their Jesuit missionary founded the Mission San Xavier del Bac about seven miles north of Tucson, which was a settlement at the time.

Fifteen minutes south of Tucson sits an important piece of the city’s history: Mission San Xavier del Bac. This is one of the most awe-inspiring of all of the area’s attractions and is definitely worth the short drive. This building was named in 1692 for Francis Xavier, a pioneering Christian missionary.

The oldest active Catholic mission on the Tohono O'odham reservation. The mission church was completed in 1797, but the mission itself was established in 1692 by Father Eusebio Kino. At one point the mission was part of Mexico until 1854 when it joined the United States as part of the Gadsden Purchase.

San Xavier de Bac Mission, also known as the White Dove of the Desert, is simply one of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in my entire life. I can’t believe it’s located in the U.S. It’s a historic Spanish Catholic mission located on the Tohono O’odan Nation San Xavier Reservation.

Beautiful little place with a lot of history. The architecture of the building is wonderful, and there is some very sympathetic restoration happening to keep the Mission looking as great as it is. The staff here are amazing, really helpful, and very knowledgeable. The insides of the buildings are exquisite with the carvings and hand painted murals and walls. Great gift shops selling authentic art and handcrafted goods on site. Nice place to visit. Will take about 60 to 90 minutes to look around everything.

An active parish and important historical place. Beautiful and engaging. Moderately maintained by volunteer contributions. Moving, inspiring and historically significant. Quiet enough to spend time in prayer and reflection. A special chapel for remembering the dead, sick and beloved.

Very beautiful! Stunning in fact. Well worth a visit. Sunday was VERY busy, so beware. Food on sight was very good 'street food'! Beautiful but very expensive gift shops with lovely folks to help. #templemastery

This vast national forest area offers hiking trails & tram rides through picturesque desert canyons.

Slide 1 of 26

Situated on the northeast edge of town in the Catalina Mountains, Sabino Canyon is a popular year-round spot for walking and picnicking because it doesn't require a hike into the mountains. That's because a shuttle bus travels the 3.8 miles to the head of the canyon, making nine on/off stops along the way. Of course the Coronado National Forest is crisscrossed with many miles of trails that are great for hiking or horseback riding (and some are open to bicyclists as well), so if you have the urge to really get out in nature, this the perfect place to do it.

We took the trolley up and enjoyed the scenery and the information in the tour. We especially appreciated the strictly enforced mask wearing as we have frail family members at home to protect. Half our group hiked the ridge back down and the rest of us rode back one stop then walked the rest of the way. We had a wheelchair with us and the road was manageable for able bodied people to push it. There were some pretty good uphill sections so we got a great workout. The scenery was so beautiful! We stopped at most of the creek crossings and our chair user was able to get out and walk around a bit. We were a as all SO happy to find somewhere to safely be outside together.

Sabino Canyon is a hikers paradise offering trails at every level. For the less athletic, a bus service is a great alternative that hikers can jump on and off during the one hour tour of the canyon. The canyon bus is windowless (weather permitting) and allows for amazing views of this incredible natural scenery. This is definitely a “don’t miss” visit just an hour from Central Tucson. Do it!

We were being spontaneous when we headed for Sabino Canyon, and so we didn't know about the requirement of buying shuttle tickets ahead, but we enjoyed a hike that one of the rangers directed us to take that was right from the visitor's center parking lot. We saw a beautiful rock dam waterfall and lots of desert terrain. We hope to go back when we can actually go into the canyon.

This was my second time after a 15 year gap and not have they added a lot of aircraft! So much to see and explore. We spent five hours here and enjoyed every minute. The outside static displays cover 80 acres so we opted to see it on a hide tree for the extra $8, well worth it. It can be walked as well.

A very large section of Airplanes from the WW 2 time period. Anyone who is interested in the air force of the USA will enjoy their time at this Museum. I went to tour the Pima facility and was very impressed with the layout. Lots of great information posted everywhere about all the different models of Airplanes and Jets. This is a must see Museum for everyone at least once in your lifetime. I was planning a one day trip but ended up getting a 2 day pass. I totally enjoyed the time. Check them out sometime soon.

You see everything from helicopters, jets, single prop planes, medical transports, presidential planes, cargo planes, old military jeeps, memorabilia, insignia and tons more. There is a restaurant on site, plenty of opportunities for the restroom, tons of free water fountains scattered about, and even more seating in the form of benches, chairs, and picnic tables. I get the feeling the staff understand the amount of energy and time it takes to ingest all the information and view all the sites this museum has to offer. PRICE: The $18 charge (circa early 2022) came to be well worth it. I was there for over 3 hours and know I could have been there much longer if I was to read all the rhetoric available. FYI: They close early in the summer. My guess, it is way too hot and they probably have too many people experiencing heat stroke. SUGGESTIONS: (1) Arrive early (2) purchase the tram if you can afford it (3) save the entrance Hanger 1 for last because it is the last to close (4) come hydrated (5) Skip your gym routine the day of (6) Wear comfortable shoes (7) wear layered clothing as you will be indoor and outdoor and find yourself getting hot and cold. *Check out the map in my images

This is the only publicly accessible ballistic-missile complex in the world. Experience a simulated countdown/launch sequence.

Very interesting. Tour about 45 minutes. Our tour guide was wonderful and fun. It is 55 stairs down and same coming back up. A lot of us seniors and I didn't see anyone having problems. We learned more about mass destruction And hopefully the active missiles never need to deploy. We enjoyed our tour.

Very unique experience at this museum. They offer tours to the underground command center. I'd definitely recommend it. The tour guide was a former member of the crew that was in charge of the missile and its maintenance. He walked us through the underground command center showing us (step by step) and explaining to us what would/could have happened in the event of the nuclear attack. It was an intense experience!

Cat was our Guide, just WOW! Presented with perfection! Exactly the way I would have thought it should have been done. Her knowledge was extraordinary! The details that she mentioned, are amazing.

Animals living there include coyotes, Gambel's quail, desert tortoises, black bears, Mexican spotted owls, Arizona mountain king snakes, and white-tailed deer.

Any day you get to visit a National Park is a great day. This was my first visit to the East side of Saguaro National Park and it was so great. We did the Loop drive and stopped to hike a few trails in a loop. The gift shop of course had some great finds, including another magnet for my National Park magnet board!

I am giving this five stars from previous visits. However, on my most recent visit, the exhibit inside the visitors center was blocked off, only the shop was open. The staff was very friendly and there was a large selection of souvenirs and gift items. The view of the surrounding area was great and located just in front of the visitors center was a nice and short cactus garden. Restrooms and water fountains are located outside, so you can access these even if the center is closed.

Amazing! I had never in my life seen such cacti in my entire life it was absolutely incredible sight. Miles of beautiful Trails, birds, and wildlife. A place I will definitely come back to.

A few nice trails inside the park and a little cafe with snacks. The pretzel is huge! Nice gift shop as well. Fun place to explore with a friend or take the family in a day trip.

Let's be honest first impressions you're going to a hole in the ground. Then you get there and it's a hole in the ground. The staff are more than pleasant and our guide was in a great mood until she lost a few people. No seriously she was a great tour guide and the trip took a little over an hour and you wouldn't even know. Really for a hole in the ground it is really cool and a great experience especially if you're going with kids. When we went there was very few people and the weather was great. There's no need to bring jackets or warm gear even in the winter due to the cave having it's own climate system and it being comfortable year-round. Definitely worth checking out.

This was a really cool place! Super close to Tucson and definitely family friendly! This was my 1st cave as I normally am not a fan of tight spaces but it was honestly great. Not once did I feel scared or anxious. The staff are also super friendly! Adam was our guide and he had jokes but was also really good about reassuring uneasy guests and kids. I highly recommend! Its a nice way to spend the afternoon with going full on desert park mode.

We had a blast and will be visiting again. Beware of the road though it is not fit for low cars.

Still smiling from this wonderful experience! Beautiful, well cared-for horses on acres and acres of lush desert landscape. Fun trail ride, the walk was easy for beginners, but still interesting and relaxing for experienced riders… There were a few small hills that were fun to go up and down! The owner and his team regard safety as number one, and make the experience enjoyable as well, with their interesting conversation and fun jokes. The horses’ coats were absolutely glistening, and they were very well behaved. You could tell not only were they trained well, but they are loved. Riders are matched to their horse by energy- genius! It worked out beautifully. If you are using a Groupon, don’t forget to bring cash to tip per person on the regular price and remember to pay sales tax on top of that. It’s worth it!! We are going back 🤗

The whole experience was fantastic. The horses were all super well-behaved, and my siblings had a great time riding a horse for their first time! The ranch hands were super helpful and nice. Definitely tip them for their kind courteous service when you go! The animals are all well taken care of and just super sweet! The owner and his wife are also fantastic and we’re super nice and accommodating! My baby sister has diabetes, and they had no issues with her taking her snacks with her! They accommodated us every step of the way! Highly recommend this wonderful experience!

Such a lil gem to find that is such a relaxing and wonderful place to visit. Nice little benches and chairs under a covered overhead shelter. Trees galore and hummingbird feeders in sight for viewing the multiple species. Lots of birders around with cameras and binoculars. The docents were knowledgeable and helpful. We arrived when they were putting out new bird feed. They were standing around and giving info on the varieties to be seen and where they were located.

My wife and I have wanted to visit for about 5 years. The peaceful, quiet buzzing after literally dozens of hummingbirds at roughly half a dozen feeders is truly an amazing experience. To see such tiny, graceful birds an arm's length from you is simply awe-inspiring.

This is a cute area near a wash to go birding. There is a one mile trail nearby (with trees and shade and stuff) and it looked like other birders were just wandering the wash to spot birds. The nature center is currently closed due to Covid restrictions but I look forward to going back some time. The highway all the way out there is blooming with wild sunflowers right now (September) and it's so pretty. I was able to see birds, squirrels, javelinas, and butterflies.

Caverns & Caves

Expansive limestone cave with living rock formations features frequent guided tours.

Slide 1 of 5

This wonderland of spires, shields, pipes, columns, soda straws and other ethereal formations has been five million years in the making, but miraculously wasn't discovered until 1974. In fact, its very location was kept secret for another 25 years in order to prepare for its opening as Kartchner Caverns State Park. Two tours are available, both about 90 minutes long and equally impressive.

Depending on your personal inclinations, tour the Kartchner Caverns near Benson or head north up the Sky Island Highway into the Santa Catalina Mountains. Both trips are scenic and fun and take about two hours of driving time round-trip; it just depends on whether you prefer sweeping mountain views or otherworldly underground sights.

Visited 02/24/22 while kids were out of school for Rodeo break! Very fun and informative tour. The visitors center was very nice as well. They have a restaurant on site if you feel the need. Make reservations online because the tours fill up fast. Definitely worth the $money$ and roughly a 30 minute drive from Tucson. Enjoy!

Lovely gardens and paths around park. We did the rotunda cavern. Rich, our guide was fun...the caverns were spectacular. One sees the glory of God in his work underneath.

This was my second visit and enjoyed it as much if not more than my first! Erika was a Phenomenal guide and enjoyed her job immensely. The tour was exciting to see you again with all the different formations in history of the park.

Very big place inside!!! Lot and lots of wonderful gifts and souvenirs for everyone you know!!! And The Thing is a must see!!! Take that exit off the I-10 and explore this place!!! You'll be glad you made this pit stop!!!

It was decent for the price. It was 5$ a person or 10 for a family. They had exhibits about the aliens dinosaurs and cars. It wasn’t very interactive so you couldn’t touch anything. But other than that it had a story line, and if your looking for something to take a break from while driving it a decent stop

Stretch your legs, munch on snacks, & enjoy the art, gifts, and exhibit. This truck stop offers affordable entertainment, fuel, and food. Staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean & well stocked, and the mountain views are breath taking.

Boothill Cemetery

Cemetery

Sights & Landmarks

Slide 1 of 11

Each western town deserving at least moderate respect had a burial ground with a sensational and innovative name, and Tombstone was no exemption. Boothill Cemetery was a spot that must’ve topped off rapidly some time ago. With countless hangings, shootings, and mining mishaps, it’s a marvel they didn’t have to load up the carcasses.

Source: Photo by Wikimedia Commons user Jan Kronsell used under PUBLIC DOMAIN. Boothill Graveyard was Tombstone’s first cemetery, built in 1879. While it was known simply as the Old Cemetery back then, it acquired the name Boothill in the 1920s in reference to those who died “with their boots on”, that is, in gunfighting action.

Boothill Graveyard is the most famous cemetery in Tombstone, which is kind of ironic since the place is renowned for the dead. The name was derived from the fact that most of the corpses buried still had their boots on. As a matter of fact, Frank, Tom McLaury, and Billy Clanton, three of the outlaws, were buried in Boothill.

Boothill Graveyard in Tombstone is the final resting place for all of the town's hanging, lynching, and shootout victims. The number of graves is estimated at 276, many of them unmarked. Boot Hill was founded in 1878 and houses many unknown grave markers because so few people at the time carried identification.

Boot Hill Cemetery is the final resting place of the majority of famous outlaws that were killed in gunfights. Members of the Cowboys gang killed in the O.K. Corral gunfight are buried there, right next to some of Tombstone’s most outstanding citizens.

See the final resting place for a number of men who “died with their boots on,” including the men who died in the O.K. Corral shootout, at the Boothill Cemetery. One of the more amusing epitaphs is that of Lester Moore.

It is the final resting place of the famous dead gunmen from the shootout at the O.K. Corral, ladies of the night, cowboys and other residents of Tombstone. Visit Tombstone’s Boot Hill Graveyard.

The Boothill Cemetery, established in 1878, is also known as the Old City Cemetery. It serves as the final resting place of countless outlaws.

If you go to Tombstone I feel like you need to see Boothill Cemetery. It's only $3 per person to get in, and you're given a little information booklet about all the graves there. We spent close to an hour here, though we prioritized the more famous and unique graves. Some people could spend less or more time here and still feel like they got what they wanted out of their visit. The reviews that dismiss this place as "fake" irritate me - this is a real graveyard that houses the final resting place for many of Tombstone's founding and famous citizens. This place definitely has a tourist attraction touch to it, hence some of the occasional more comical tombstones (which is most of what these reviews are referencing), but they're still real graves, and you're still expected to be respectful when you visit.

This is worth the $3 entrance. The booklet comes with the entrance fee & has the stories behind each grave. It’s well kept and interesting to walk through. The gift shop is very nice as well, with a sweet clerk to welcome everyone.

If you have kids they will get a kick out of it. If your a visitor who has never seen a real ghost town cemetery you'll enjoy this place. It's costs money to get in and it is mostly fake. Just keep that in mind. For us, it was a waste of time and money. Don't get me wrong........it's worth it for most people. We have been to too many real old west cemetaries and this is a place for tourists first and foremost. Go and see the real one as well.

O.K. Corral

Historical landmark

Museums

History museum

Legendary historic site offering daily reenactments of Wyatt Earp's famous Tombstone gun fight.

Slide 1 of 12

An excursion to Tombstone without visiting the OK Corral is almost impossible as this place has an assortment of things to do and great places for activities. Situated on East Allen Street in Tombstone’s smaller midtown region, the corral is the location of the most renowned gunfight in American history. It’s additionally reenacted daily by men wearing period cattle rustler clothing and even have comparable weapons to what the genuine members did; however, these fire off duds.

Corral, is haunted by the cowboys and law enforcement officers associated with the famous gunfight on October 26, 1881. The 30-second shootout was between the Earp brothers Virgil, Wyatt, Morgan, Doc Holliday, alleged cowboy outlaws Frank and Tom McLaury, Billy and Ike Clanton, Billy Claiborne, and Wes Fuller. The shootout left three outlaws dead, Frank and Tom McLaury, and Billy Clanton.

Most of Tombstone’ s attractions can be found on East Allen Street, three blocks of sheltered boardwalk that run through the heart of the town. The first stop is O.K Corral, infamously associated with the shootout between law keepers and members of the outlaw group, the Cowboys, following a long-simmering feud.

This was the scene of the famous shoot-out in 1881 between the Earp and Clanton gangs, a legendary event in the Old West. Today, life-size replicas of the nine gunfighters stand on the spots where they began the gunfight, giving a sense of the distance, or lack of distance, between each of the men, and the overall layout. The setting remains much the same as it was in 1881.

Home to the most famous gunfight in Old West history, the O.K Corral is located right in the heart of Tombstone. The corral is still set up exactly how it was back in the 1800s, and the town puts on outstanding reenactments of the gunfight daily for visitors. Come watch actor portrayals of Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan Earp shooting it out with the Clantons and McLaurys.

You will get to explore a lot of interesting facts about this place and enjoy great shows such as The Great Gunfight At The O.K.Korral. It would not only be a highly entertaining experience but a wonderful and unique one too. Once you visit the place and watch the shows, you will realize it’s worth. You can ...Read more

Billy Clanton, played by future Spider-Man villain Thomas Haden Church, is a smaller character in comparison to the others. His highlight is when he taunts a very drunk Doc Holliday while the latter is playing the piano. When Marshall Fred White is shot in the street, Wyatt causes a crowd of people to gather around.

O.K. Corral Complex presents live reenactments of the famous shootout. Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp with brothers Virgil and Morgan participated in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral on October 26, 1881. The gunfight left Billy Clanton and Frank and Tom McLaury dead.

The O.K. Corral, dating back to the 19th century, served as a livery and house corral. It is now a historical landmark and one of the most-visited attractions in Tombstone.

Tombstone is known for this very spot, so it's obviously a must if you come to Tombstone. It's free to go inside the main shop but you have to pay $10 per person to explore the back courtyard and stables and the main draw: the staged gun fight. There are a few areas in Tombstone to see staged gun fights, but this one is by far the most recommended based on the fact that it's the OG and happens at the actual O.K. Corral, even the locals stated that. Go early that way you don't miss the show, as they are known to sell out especially during peak seasons and weekends. The gun fight is about 20 - 30 minutes and very entertaining, audience participation is encouraged like applauding the deputies and booing the cowboys for an added comical touch and they all have fun with it. Pictures with the actors are welcomed after the show which always makes the little kids go crazy. The staff inside the store are fun to talk with and very nice. Also, for fans of the movie (which I'd assume most everyone visiting Tombstone to begin with probably are), there are some props inside the store to read up on and admire. Prices inside the gift shop are on par with most everything else in Tombstone, though they do also have some exclusive merchandise being that they're the actual O.K. Corral. Overall, very fun and highly recommended.

Great fun! Every part was perfectly Touristy! I loved it! Portrayal of the characters was done with proper respect and enough fun to keep the energy up! Will definitely go back, as we only did half a day and it was not enough! #templemastery

A fun show with some clever lines. Deliberately campy and lots of laughs. The bad guys are the best. The Sam Elliot- like character who played Virgil's a bit wooden, but overall quite entertaining for all ages. Our party ranges from age 2 to 70 and we all enjoyed it. The Vincent Price-narrated diorama/ movie was cleverly done. See pic of the instructions you are given. Gift shop was touristy but our grands enjoyed getting a pop gun or two.

The Bird Cage Theatre

Reportedly haunted circa-1881 landmark that once housed a brothel & gambling hall in Tombstone.

Slide 1 of 14

In 1882, the New York Times called the Bird Cage Theatre “...the wildest, wickedest night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast.” In fact, more than 140 bullet holes remain in the building from historic gunfights. The former brothel and gaming house is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of several ladies of the evening and their clients. If you’re not afraid, reserve a spot on the theatre’s nightly ghost tour (6:15 p.m. tour is for guests 12 and over, though minors must be accompanied by a parent; 8 p.m. tour is for adults only).

The Bird Cage Theatre is an interesting location to visit for those in search of interesting and entertaining places to enjoy their vacation with their families. As well as being a theater, the Bird Cage was a ballroom, whorehouse, and drinking foundation, which isn’t expected nowadays. It was built in 1881, and rumors have spread far and wide suggesting that its walls bear almost 200 bullet openings that plastered visitors shot throughout the years.

Tombstone's original brothel, the Bird Cage Theater (tombstonebirdcage.com) was one of the wildest places in the Old West. More than 120 bullet holes remain in the building, including in the wall behind the bar. Suspended from the ceiling, 14 "cribs" (prostitute beds) overlook the gambling hall, where authentic poker tables and other artifacts of Tombstone's past are on display.

Built in 1881, the Bird Cage Theatre never closed during its eight years, operating day and night. A theater, dance hall, saloon, and brothel, the Bird Cage is said to have 140 bullet holes in the wall and ceiling. Original fixtures and furnishings are still on display with the hand-painted stage and orchestra pit in original condition.

The Bird Cage Theater — or Bird Cage Theatre, as it’s spelled both ways on their own website — operated through the 1880s as a saloon, bar, theater, and brothel. The ladies who worked the brothel hung from the ceiling in large bird cages. Lawman Wyatt Earp was a frequent visitor, but he was only visiting for the card games.

Haunted Tours6th and Allen Street, Tombstone, AZ 85638MoreLess Info. Tombstone, Arizona's Birdcage Theater is a museum that was formerly a house of prostitution, a bar and a theater. It holds particular significance to paranormal investigators, as it is purportedly one of the most haunted structures in the United States.

Across the street from the Tombstone Mercantile, you’ll find the Bird Cage Theater. In 1882 the New York Times referred to this lusty den as the “wildest, wickedest night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast“. The Bird Cage Theater originally opened its doors in 1881 and aspired to be a family-friendly venue.

The Bird Cage Theatre is a place that holds history as well as mystery. Opened in December 1881, the theater hosted numerous shows and events. But, it was closed in 1892 after the Silver Mines was closed.

The historic Bird Cage Theatre operated for eight years from 1881-1892. See the poker table in the basement of the theatre. It was used in the longest-running poker game in history.

The Bird Cage Theater was known as the wildest and wickedest nightspot in the town. The Theater was also the location of more than 26 deaths. Today the theater serves as a museum.

The Bird Cage Theater, which operated from 1881 to 1894, was one of the most prominent live performance venues of its time.

Always a fun experience. Took my daughters on the ghost tour they had a great time. They also have the self guided tour that is cheaper but we enjoyed learning all about the birdcage and tombstone. So much history. Staff is very friendly. Trish knows so much of the history and it is always great to hear everything. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

This was a fun tour! The tours are an hour and a half long, including the 30 minutes darkness time to 'welcome the ghosts to make their presence known'. Our guide, Karen, was knowledgeable, humorous and a delight. Highly recommend this tour. The history of the Bird Cage is interesting and you'll even see evidence of some of the lawlessness from history (1880's bullet slugs in walls and the bar).

Amazing place to hang out and take a guided tour. So much to look at and learn about. It's like going back in time to the late 1800's. Our tour guide was awesome and you could tell she loves her job! 1.5 hours and a great bargain for the history lesson. The amount of original artifacts is mind blowing. You could easily spend a day here and not see everything it has to offer. Very knowledgeable staff. Make sure you use the restroom before going on a tour as there are no public restrooms. It's said to be quite haunted and while we didn't experience much activity the kid had a great time and the lights out period of the tour was really cool! I highly recommend this if you are into history. Great value for the money and one of the coolest things we did while in Tombstone !!!
