Reviews
The desert is not the only thing surrounding Tucson — it is also a beautiful place full of unique plants. And if you’re looking to connect with the city’s unique ecology, then a visit to the Tucson Botanical Gardens is one of the best things to do in Tucson.
The garden is quiet and calm, with tour guides taking visitors throughout the compound, explaining the different species of plants that the state of Arizona offers.
We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Tucson!
We visit botanical gardens whenever we get the chance. This is one of the better ones
Nice grounds to walk around but I can tell they need more help and money to get it back to being where it should be.
Many of the plant signs need replacing and it just needs to be worked on.
They have a closed in butterfly area and that was nice. If they were to double the size and make it a known attraction in Tucson, I’m sure it would generate more money for them.
The original hose for the farm is still in use.
Plenty of parking for all sizes of RVs.
