Ghost Ranch Exotics and Funny Foot Farm
Zoo
👍👍 We LOVED our trip to FFF! Looks can be deceiving… at first glance it looks pretty barren and made me concerned about the animal enrichment, but it only took a few moments of interacting with the creatures to learn they are loved and cared for. David was our tour guide and he did an incredible job; k...

Signal Hill
Historical landmark
👍👍 Signal Hill takes only maybe ten minutes to ascend and it's worth it. There are dozens of petroglyphs from simple designs to larger ornate ones. The view from the top is excellent in all directions. A restroom is available in the parking lot but it's only a single vault toilet so expect a line!

Tohono O'odham Nation Culture Center and Museum

👍 Beautiful facility in a remote corner of the Tohono O'odham Nation southwest of Tucson. On a recent Saturday visit, the place was all but deserted & many on-site rooms or features locked up or unavailable. The exhibits are beautifully presented, & I was particularly impressed with the displays of di...
