The Don'ts of Visiting Tucson, Arizona

Don't miss Pima Air and Space Museum, and Tombstone is not far .

I had so much fun filming this with you!!! DON’T forget to book a trip to Tucson - it’s such a great destination! 😁🌵

Bisbee is a great little town worth visiting

San Xavier del Bac Mission is part of the Tohono O’odham (Native American) Nation.. so the frybread sold right outside of the mission would more than likely be attributed to the local Tohono O’odham, not Navajo. (13 mins in) .. Just a little FYI.

Arizona is easily one of the most beautiful places on earth, I’m so glad I live in NM and can visit often!

I'm biased, but I also highly suggest for people interested in coming to Tucson to look into the local theatre scene here. Usually in mid-September to May, there's a lot of great theater performances for all age ranges! I've had several people come up to me and say "wow! I didn't realize Tucson had such great theatre!"

Kitt Peak observatory is about an hour away and a fascinating place to visit. You need to call ahead for reservations, though, and take water.

Visited Sierra Vista to visit family all the way from Australia last October. Tombstone was my favourite because I'm a Wild West nut. Bisbee was cool too.

Desert towns are definitely chilly at night, so an extra layer is definitely worth packing. It is not tropical weather which stays constant throughout. Learnt this the hard way in California.

Seems very typical American: car centric, road rage, long commutes, poor public transport, fast food, friendly. Love thinking in the canyons!

If you're visiting Tucson, you must check out the Saguaro National Park - home of the saguaro cacti. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is excellent. San Xavier del Bac (the White Dove of the Desert) mission is a "must do", and it's a short drive from Tucson on the Tohono O'odham Reservation. The Tubac art colony south of Tucson is interesting if you're into antiques, and the nearby Tumacacori National Historical Park is also nice as it features a smaller Spanish mission church that was never fully completed. Bisbee and Tombstone make an excellent day trip. The local cuisine is great, and carne seca is Tucson's signature dish.

I've visited Tucson many times and these are good tips. El Charro was a must each time. Also, Sonoran hotdogs at a couple of places are not to be skipped no matter how "bad" for you they probably are. I'm thinking about just making a special trip just to get those hotdogs again.

Shout out to the Cookie Cabin up on Mount Lemmon

Great recommendations! Also, don't forget Pinacle Peak steakhouse, an old west experience with live stunt shows on weekends! A fun evening at an old fashioned melodrama? You can get that at the Gaslight Theater. And Eegee's frozen drinks. 1/2 lemon, 1/2 strawberry and thank me later :-)

The Gila Monster can't "totally kill you." FFS.

You should have mentioned Gaslight! What a fun experience if you get tickets way in advance. Totally worth it though if you know you are going!
