Visit Tucson


There is so much to do in Tucson and winter is the best time to see everything there is
to offer. From comfortable 60-70 degree weather you can golf, hike, site-see, and so
much more. During the show, the Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau will maintain
a booth near the entrance. Please visit them for maps, suggestions, and to experience
first hand the great hospitality here.

Arizona's Hollywood in the Desert 
This huge attraction burned down several years ago and has been on the comeback ever since.
Our last visit proved much better than before. It is the place to go to see where many 
Western movies have been filmed. Notables such as John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and more and
movies such as True Grit, Young Guns 2, Three Amigos, and Tombstone were filmed here.
