Parks & Nature

A mix between a museum and a native animal zoo, the Desert Museum is a must-see for anyone visiting Tucson! Exhibits include a sting ray touch pool, a hummingbird aviary, and lots of iconic desert views (even on the drive there). Give yourself several hours to visit, and bring a water bottle (it's almost all outside but they do have several water fountains and sunscreen stations throughout).

If you're looking to see some nature and escape the heat, head up to Mount Lemmon, where the temperatures stay cool in the mountain town of Summerhaven even in the middle of a sweltering Tucson summer. The drive up illustrates the transition of vegetation types due to elevation and precipitation changes.
