Top 5 Things to do in Tucson, Arizona

Tucson, Arizona, has a population of 551,988 with a median income of $42,189 per household per year. Home to the University of Arizona and  Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson has gained a reputation for being a major hub across several industries including military, technology, and tourism. So, what is there to do in Tucson? We’re glad you asked! It’s essential to get started with the basics.

 

  • Tour Mission San Xavier del Bac. Mission San Xavier del Bac is located about 10 miles south of downtown Tucson, on the Tohono O’odham Nation San Xavier Indian Reservation. Built on the site of an earlier mission, the structure surviving today was built between 1783 and 1797. It claims the title of the oldest European building in Arizona and is a shining example of Spanish Colonial architecture. Hosting over 200,000 visitors a year, this beautiful mission is both a major tourist attraction and pilgrimage site.

 

  • Visit Pima Air & Space Museum. The Pima Air & Space Museum is one of the world’s largest non-government funded aerospace museums. The museum is located just a 15 minute drive southeast of Tucson. Here you will find over 300 aircraft and spacecraft spread over 80 acres. With plenty to see, be sure to check out the replica control tower, and if you are a military history buff, there is an exhibit that shows the evolution of the US  Air Force through the ages. 

 

  • Visit Tohono Chul. Tohono Chul is a botanical garden, nature preserve, and cultural museum located in Casas Adobes, a suburb of Tucson located on the way to Catalina State Park. Tohono Chul connects you to the awe-inspiring art, nature, and culture of the Sonoran Desert region.  The words “tohono chul” translate as “desert corner” and are borrowed from the language of the Tohono O’odham, the indigenous people of southern Arizona. Founded in 1985, the grounds, spread over 49 acres, has a variety of garden landscapes peppered with wild and native flowers, shrubs, trees, and cacti. Don’t forget to visit the park’s incredible art gallery which showcases sculptures and folk art from around the American Southwest.
