Tucson Essentials

Tucson's urban core is defined by the 131-acre Gene C. Reid Park, which contains a city-operated zoo and the 5.5-acre Tucson Botanical Gardens. The University of Arizona campus anchors the city’s cultural district, housing the Arizona State Museum—Arizona's oldest archaeological repository—and the John P. Schaefer Center for Creative Photography. These institutions, alongside the Arizona Historical Society and the multicultural 17th Street Market, preserve the region's diverse Southwestern heritage and academic history.
