3 Best Places To See in Tucson, AZ

We had an absolute blast at the Reid Park Zoo! Recently came here for the first time and was honestly blown away. The zoo is awesome, and we already can't wait to go back again! Once you're inside, there is so much to do and see. The zoo itself is a really great size. The walking paths give you great views of all the animals. The exhibits are really nice, well kept, and pretty spacious. We really enjoyed all the different animals that are here. Most of them were very active when we were there, which made the experience even better! There are multiple walk-in exhibits, a huge playground area for kids, zoo keeper interactive experiences, and more. Keep an eye out for a peacock, or a bunch, roaming around, too!. There is a gift shop, restaurant, and plenty of snack stands throughout the zoo as well. The whole zoo is easily accessible and very clean as well. We can't wait to come back and spend another great day at Reid Park Zoo.

Coming on a weekday right around noon. When the kids were headed out was perfect timing. You were able to enjoy the exhibits, still see lots of animals, without crazy crowds. I was super impressed with the bird exhibits and being able to sit among the exotic birds. The well, habitats are well done and you really feel pretty darn close to the animals. We come from a big city with a much bigger zoo, but this zoo is pretty awesome. Will be back for the night time program.

Very cute zoo! I hadn’t been since I was a kid so I didn’t remember much about it. It was exciting to come back and bring my own kids. They had so much fun that we bought a membership (even though we live in Phoenix). I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced it was for our entire family. The animals in the zoo were very active and my kids loved feeding the giraffes. It was only $4 each person, which wasn’t bad for the experience.

If you love aircraft of any kind, this is a must visit place in Arizona. I have been here at least six times and every time is a wonderful experience. So much to see and learn. Some very amazing historic airplanes, as well as a fantastic space exhibit. We’re comfortable shoes and be prepared to spend time outside. When it gets close to summer, you’re going to need water sunscreen and maybe a hat. But many of the exhibits are inside hangers which is very comfortable. Very reasonable entrance fee and a pretty cool gift store on the way out. I can’t say enough about how fantastic this place is something for everyone here.

Best air museum I can say I've been to and I have seen a lot. Spent a career in the aviation community and this museum has the biggest selection of aircraft including foreign countries and two Russian jets and helicopter. Several harriers, jets, cargo, WWII and Korean. Its not expensive and they have a store and cafe. There are several hangers with pristine aircraft and a outdoor selection that covers several acers. If your a airplane and helicopter fan this is the place to stop.

Great place to see lots of planes! Tons of walking and you could easily spend all day there. We got there early and had no crowds. The weather was perfect. I'd advise checking first as the sun can be very strong. Both indoors and outdoors has so much information. Plan to spend a lot of time if you want the perfect experience.
