Tohono Chul Park

Roger and I had the pleasure of visiting another hidden gem in northern Tucson today, Tohono Chul Park, where history, nature, art, and culture connect!

Tohono Chul Park is known as a unique botanical garden and has been open for more than 25 years, bringing together nature, art, and culture.

The park's gardens were designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. While strolling through the gardens, you may also see birds, lizards, and jackrabbits. We were told by a volunteer that an occasional bobcat may stroll through the gardens. Guests are advised to stay on the trails because rattlesnakes have also been sighted. Thankfully, we did not see any while we were visiting.

The park is also home to an art gallery, a fine dining bistro, and a gift shop. Tohono Chul Park also hosts weekly events and educational classes.
