Tucson is the BEST kept secret around.  There is a little bit of “everyone” in Tucson.  Tucson’s population is made up of business professionals, retirees, snow-birds (folks with second homes), college students, health care research, astronomy experts (we have huge telescopes here), veterinarian care (some of the best in the US), a huge tourist industry, industry personnel, and aircraft (Raytheon), hikers, bicycle enthusiasts, all outdoor activities – to mention a few!

The best way to learn about Tucson and the land Tucson sits on is to visit The Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum.  Want to experience the old West?  Visit Old Tucson Studios.  And, in the heart of our city, no visit would be complete without walking the campus or taking a tour of The University of Arizona.
