Moving to Tucson

For CBers living in or familiar with the area, what are some of the family-friendly attractions I should be aware of?

Something I've liked about Denver (where we live now) are the various museums, exhibits, botanic gardens, aquariums, etc.

We already plan to buy an annual pass to Reid Park Zoo. What else should we look into?

You can be thankful you don't have to drive in Denver anymore.

Yup. Even though I take the light rail every day, driving is a chore in Denver

Tucson is great. It's like the Albuquerque of Arizona without the great food.
