Tucson Will Surprise You Explore Tucson’s architectural heritage on a new motor-coach tour led by Arizona Tour Company. The Historic Missions and Churches Tour includes stops at seven places of worship built between 1866 and 1940 by noted Tucson architects, including Josias Joesler, Roy Place, and Henry Trost. Tour guide Dale Sloan will compar...e similarities and differences in architectural styles, and share surprising stories about each building. Tour highlights include the magnificent St. Augustine Cathedral with its elaborately carved cast-stone façade; the rose-colored, Spanish Renaissance-style Benedictine Monastery; the impressive Scottish Rite Cathedral, with its 1916 pipe organ still in operating condition; the enduring Jewish History Museum, formerly known as the Stone Avenue Temple—the first synagogue in Arizona; and the humble, mud-adobe San Pedro Chapel in the Fort Lowell Historic District. The six-hour tour costs $43 per person, including lunch.
Tucson Will Surprise You Witness free-flying birds of prey as they coast right over your head, almost within reach at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's popular Raptor Free Flight program. Native Sonoran Desert birds—Harris’ Hawks, Ferruginous Hawks, Gray Hawks, Barn Owls, Great Horned Owls, and Prairie Falcons—glide and soar, and interact wit...h one another while perched atop saguaro cacti in the open desert. Unlike other bird-flight shows, the Raptor Free Flight focuses the attention on the birds and how they behave in nature; the trainers are hardly noticeable. Demonstrations occur, as bird and weather conditions allow, daily at 10:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. through April 11, 2010.
