This was one of the first places recommended to me when I moved here, and it is amazing. It's not so much a "tourist attraction" as a place that even locals go back to regularly. Stay to watch the daily show where birds of prey fly right over your head to catch food. Founded in 1952, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is dedicated to the conservation of the Sonoran Desert. Its mission is to inspire people to live in harmony with the natural world by fostering love, appreciation, and understanding of the Sonoran Desert. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden, all in one place. Exhibits re-create the natural landscape of the Sonoran Desert Region so realistically you find yourself eye-to-eye with mountain lions, prairie dogs, Gila monsters, and more. Within the Museum grounds, you will see more than 300 animal species and 1,200 kinds of plants. There are almost two miles of paths traversing 21 acres of beautiful desert.

Tucson's largest year-round farmers market is located in the Southeast corner of Rillito Park, along the bike trail known as The Loop. The weekly Sunday Rillito Park Farmers Market hosts farmers, ranchers and artisan food purveyors featuring local produce and fresh cuisine. Initially located in a local shopping center, our weekly Sunday market moved to Rillito Park in 2014. Heirloom Farmers Markets worked in collaboration with Pima County and the Rillito Park Foundation to build this state-of-the-art, permanent farmers market space. This flagship market has now become one of Tucson’s special gastronomy destinations for the community. The four pavilions provide shade for a 5,000 square foot shopping area, and along with the center entertainment circle, host a variety of small businesses.

The Food Conspiracy Co-op was born in 1971, when a group of Tucson residents formed a buying club. These original members used their collective purchasing power to get natural food products, which were largely unavailable in stores at that time. T Food Conspiracy is the city’s only full-service consumer cooperative. Because we are owned by our members, and beholden to them rather than to corporate interests, the quality and range of products we offer is unique in Tucson. Our store is open to non-members and members alike.

"Wash"

A "wash" is a dry river bed. Have you noticed those ditches behind houses and cutting across streets? Believe it or not, during monsoon season, the washes flood! When you visit, however, they will most likely be dry. They also serve as a highway for Tucson creatures such as javelinas and coyotes.
Hyödyllisiä ilmauksia

"Snowbird"

It's a snowbird, it's a plane, it's... a retired and/or wealthy person who lives in Tucson for only part of the year. Why? They'll do whatever it takes to avoid the snow, fleeing to Tucson while their other permanent residence sits in the white winter snow. However, they'll also do anything to avoid the heat, so they flee during Tucson summers. Pretty clever if you can swing it!

"Saguaro" (suh-WAH-row)

A saguaro is the iconic "hands to the sky" cactus. The trick here is to pronounce it correctly. Ignore the "g" and replace it with a "w" and there you go! suh-WAH-row. Yep, really, check a dictionary if you don't believe me. (Some locals even mispronounce it, and when they do, just smirk on the inside knowing you're right.)
Hyödyllisiä ilmauksia

"Javelina"

Pronounced "ha-vuh-LEE-nuh". While they resemble a wild boar, they're actually not in the pig family (nor the rodent family, as is a common misconception). They're peccaries! Peccaries have three toes on the hind foot, while pigs have four toes. Pigs also have curved tusks, whereas peccary tusks are straight. The more you know!

"Bear Down"

"Bear Down" is the fight song and motto the University of Arizona. What is the U of A mascot? A bear, you might logically think. WRONG! It's actually a wildcat. If you had my vote, the U of A motto would be "Be Catty," but alas. The motto actually comes from the legend of U of A football star, John "Button" Salmon. Only one day throwing a 30-yard touchdown to win the game, Button got into a car accident which severed his spinal cord, and he died 13 days later. On his last visit before he died, Button had a message for the team: "Tell them to bear down."

"Monsoon Season"

Every year from June 15-September 30, watch for the rain! Monsoons often show up as a downpour that lasts for only about 15 minute bursts once or twice a day. Tucsonans love the rainy season!
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan

Sunscreen

SPF 30+ during the fall and winter and SPF 50+ during the spring and summer. Trust me on this one.
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan

Wide-brim hat and sunglasses

Wear a goofy hat, one of those wide-brim ones with a neck flap. Place a bandana around your neck. Your face and scalp will thank you.
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan

Jacket and warm hat

But Tucson is in the desert... Yep, but the desert gets cold at night, especially in the fall and winter. The temperature can change by as much as 30-degrees during a day-night cycle year-round. In the fall and winter, that means a 70-degree day will often drop to 40-degrees at night.

"Old Pueblo"

Tucson's official nickname is "Old Pueblo." Old Pueblo began to be used frequently to stamp Tucson with the Southwestern mystique and a mysterious ancient Spanish and Indian past to attract tourists to this exotic spot.
