Tucson is the home of the University of Arizona, and to a number of optic manufacturing and optoelectronics system companies, leading to one of its nicknames: “Optics Valley”.

1.Hike Sabino Canyon. Or bike. Or swim and picnic. If you want a more relaxing visit, take the shuttle bus tour. This stunningly beautiful canyon is part of the Colorado National Forest. You can rent a rustic cabin if you want an overnight stay along with your hiking and biking.2. Visit the Pima Air & Space Museum. This huge museum is one of the largest in the world, and houses almost 300 aircraft. The “boneyard” of aircraft is here, as well as the newest exhibit, the Spirit of Freedom Hangar, housing the Blackbird and other outstanding aircraft.
3. Spend a day at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. This “museum” is not so much a museum as a miniature of Arizona, all in one place. Visit the zoo, the botanical gardens, or the natural history museum. You're unlikely to get to everything in one day, so plan a return visit.
4. Visit the University of Arizona and the Center for Creative Photography. The grounds of this University house archival collections for some of the world's best photographers, from Ansel Adams to Garry Winogrand. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.
5. Hit a ball. Arizona is world-renowned for perfect golf courses, and Tucson is no exception. Golf courses and resorts abound, and there are opportunities for beginners to learn more or experts to hone their skills.
