• Tohono Chul Park: Tohono Chul Tea Room - simply amazing

  ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 3 years ago

  Recently I invited a friend to the Tohono Chul Tea Room for breakfast. Her boyfriend lives in Tucson and she's been coming to see him for several years but didn't know about the Tea Room! It is such an amazing ambiance. In the morning light, you can have a wonderful breakfast in a lush desert botanical garden setting. Many of the plants and flowers are designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Beautiful! I'm not a bird-watching type of person, but I saw some colors on those little birds that I've never seen before! It is such a relaxing and soothing place to be. AND the food is amazing too. Try the signature breakfast enchiladas. You won't regret it! As a side note: In October, my friend got married at Tohono Chul. The ceremony and the reception were both beautiful. The ceremony took place in the courtyard as you enter the Tea Room as was the reception party after dinner. Something to seriously consider if you're getting married, or even just recommending a cool and unique party venue.

• Old Tucson Studios: I forgot how cool Old Tucson is!

  ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 3 years ago

  I was recently out at Old Tucson with some guests I had come in from Canada. We checked out the museum, the attractions, and ammenities. To be more specific, we cruised the museum (which was awesome for a Western Movie buff like myself), took a train ride around the property, and went on a horseback ride. It was sooo cool. The studios are all decked out for Nightfall (their nationally rated scary Halloween festivities) and such a hoot to see in the daylight! There's no better way to check out the beautiful saguaro forest behind the Old Tucson buildings than by horseback. What views! I took my nephews (ages 10 and 8) there last March and they had an absolute blast. The haunted mine tour and gunfights were their favorites. They've already asked to go back the next time they are out. It's nice to be reminded of the jewels we have right in our own back yard. Check out Old Tucson if your looking for something to do or someplace to take your out of town guests. It's worth the drive. As a matter of fact, the drive out, through Gates Pass, is another reason to get out there. See for yourself!
