A museum full of animals, but there's a catch--they are all preserved by taxidermy. With dioramas and other displays, there is no concern about how the animals are treated or fed. It is a great place for kids especially to see up close and touch many wild animals without fear.

Ok, so to be honest, this is not one of my family's favorites, but it is a popular Tucson destination so I wanted to include it. Some people can make a day out of it, and read in-depth about the various animals. However, be warned that it is a museum of taxidermy animals. My son (and I, to be honest) find it a little weird staring at room after room of stuffed animals. We usually made it through in an hour. If you are visiting from out of state, and have a membership to a museum that is part of the ASTC, you can double check to see if you can get free admission.

If dioramas and exotic wildlife interest you, this is an interesting place.
