With an average of 350 days of sunshine a year and mild temperatures in spring, summer, and fall, Tucson lets you free yourself from traditional conference rooms and indoor meeting venues. Hold your events outside, where you can enjoy great weather and beautiful views surrounding Tucson. Here are some scenic spots that are perfect for your next meeting.
Experience the Old West at Tanque Verde Ranch
Long before California surfers were calling each other “dudes,” dude ranchers were hosting guests out in the wild West. Today, Tanque Verde Ranch continues the tradition, offering meeting spaces with stunning views of the mountains and lots of outdoor team-building activities.
Inspire Creativity at Tucson Botanical Gardens
An oasis in the middle of the desert, Tucson Botanical Gardens was once named the best secret garden in America by Reader’s Digest. Have a conference or lunch among the verdant trees and plants of the garden.
Go Beyond the Expected at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
It’s easy to create a stunning backdrop for a meeting at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Explore 21 acres with 2 miles of walking trails, and pique your attendees curiosity with the museum’s many features, including a hummingbird aviary, zoo, aquarium, and Earth Sciences Center, where guests can descend into a replica limestone cave.
Get Picturesque Views at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort
Hold your meetings outdoors at this desert sanctuary and easily jump from the ballroom to biking or hiking through Sabino Canyon. Want more sights once the sun goes down? Loews offers professional stargazing two nights a week for a nighttime look at Tucson.
Soak Up the Desert at Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and Spa
Luxury and beauty meet in the desert at this gorgeous resort and spa.
