Tucson, Arizona

Tohono Chul Park is the Southwest's center where nature, art, and culture connect in 49 acres of Sonoran desert beauty and tradition. As you walk down the winding nature trail through various desert gardens, tour the Exhibit Hall in a renovated historic home, enjoy breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea in the Tea Room, and shop in the Greenhouse and Museum Shops, you begin to understand why the desert is so cherished in Tucson.
