A must visit if you've never been! Not technically a zoo, but really a living museum, showing off the flora and fauna of the desert in many natural exhibits. Make a day of it, there are restaurants on site. Plan an early morning visit in warmer weather, as the animals are often cooling off later in the day.

Tumamoc Hill is a popular hiking spot, natural preserve, and home of the University of Arizona Desert Laboratory.
The paved, sloping road gains 600 feet in just 1.5 miles – making it an intense cardio workout.
Tumamoc Hill is home to the University of Arizona Desert Laboratory and is one of the most important cultural sites in the region. You can learn more about the history of the site on the Tumamoc Tour.
One yelp reviewer by the name of Barrio H. had this to say, “This hill is more fun than a Stair Climber in a stinky gym. The best part is the top where you have a 360 view of Tucson and beyond.”
