And, the University of Arizona adds a wide range of events at Centennial Hall. For spur of the moment moments, you will find jazz outdoors at a Plaza or blues inside a bar. Galleries and museums abound in and around Tucson. The Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum ranks among the world s top 10 zoological sites, and features a large collection of native plants and wildlife. The Tucson Museum of Art and the Center for Creative Photography at the University feature exceptional permanent collections and traveling exhibits.
Galleries are everywhere and offer diverse art and objects.
Fun days trips are Tubac or Nogales for great galleries and window shopping. There are over thirty golf courses and clubs in and around Tucson, from Oro Valley to Green Valley. The unique beauty of the mountains and high-desert surroundings lend a majestic backdrop, and all the courses share an abundance of wildlife, from bunnies and roadrunner to coyotes and the occasional bobcat. Springtime brings out the most beautiful cactus flowers, and even in the summer you can always find something blooming. I have played most of the courses in and around Tucson and have found something special about each one I ve played.
