Tucson Attractions
Tucson offers a little something for everyone. You can tour an 18th century mission the same day you feed the giraffes at the zoo and eyeball a rattlesnake at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Maybe you're a military history buff. That means you cannot miss the Pima Air and Space Museum. Or maybe it's just a challenging ride you after. Mount Lemon offers both road and mountain biking challenges that will have you coming back for more.

Although Trail Dust Town operates as a for-profit shopping mall, on its grounds exists a great number of historical artifacts, including an Allan Herschell merry-go-round which was manufactured in 1954 that still contains its original horses and benches. Trail Dust Town is also home to a non-profit history museum; Museum of the Horse Soldier. The museum chronicles the history of U.S. mounted military service. It is notable for having one of the nation's largest public displays artifacts from the era of the military horse, including original period saddles, uniforms, weapons, firearms, and ephemera. Since the museum's incorporation in Jan. 2013, it has received recognition from around the world, including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), History Channel, Discovery Channel, Arizona Highways, and multiple publications. Some of the museum's highlights include the only Civil War collection available to the public in the state of AZ and rare U.S. military saddles from the 1830s-present day. This unique and rare collection of original historical items makes this the gem of Trail Dust Town.
