If you’re planning a vacation to Tucson Arizona, you’re probably wondering where to start. There are several different options, from relaxing downtown rides to history and culture tours.

Some tours include viewing 35 amazing murals, while others focus on the city’s architecture and art. Some even offer food-themed tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to explore the cultural side of Tucson, consider visiting the Presidio San Agustin Museum, which is a replica of the original 1775 Presidio. The museum is set in a stunning building and features a gift shop. There’s also a huge living area and a secluded courtyard for relaxing and reading. Whatever your interests, you’ll find plenty to do in Tucson. Whether it’s exploring its historic districts or enjoying the sunshine at the nearby National Park, there’s something to do here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re traveling with children, consider taking them to the Valley of the Moon, a live children’s show that blends music, dance, and drama. The show has been running for nearly 100 years, and is sure to delight both kids and adults. It’s open on the first and third Sunday of each month. The calendar is constantly changing, so check back often for more exciting shows. Fun days in Tucson include laser tag, mini-golf, bumper boats, and meet-and-greets with costumed characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near downtown Tucson, the city’s wildlife is a must-see. A short drive away from downtown Tucson, the park is a great getaway for families. Birdwatchers will also appreciate the park’s educational exhibits, as well as its 60 acres of swampy land. A short walk in the park takes you through several different bird species and can’t be beat for a day out with the kids. There’s something for everyone in this national park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Children’s Museum is a great place to combine fun and learning. Exhibits for kids of all ages include Whistle Stop, Bodyology, and Public Safety. Children will love exploring the beauty of nature, and will learn about the agricultural roots of the area. Those with children can even take part in classes at the museum. This is a great way to bond with your family while learning about the culture of Tucson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This museum also features two unique art galleries, including a natural history museum. These exhibits will entertain the entire family, from children to adults. It is estimated that 500,000 people visit this museum each year. You’ll also find the Cathedral of Saint Augustine, which stands tall as a testament to faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
