Make the Most of Summer Fun in Tucson: Your Ultimate Guide
Summer in Tucson can be blisteringly hot, making outdoor activities less enjoyable and sometimes even dangerous. Here’s your guide to fun things to do in the Tucson community this season to stay cool and beat the heat.
Indulge in Cool Summer Treats
Hot weather is the perfect excuse to treat yourself with cool treats. Indulge in a frozen drink from Eegee’s and make sure to try their flavor of the month. Each drink is made with real fruit and
once you’ve tried them, you’ll want to come back for more. One of the best parts about summer
is the seasonal flavors and delectable refreshments provided by your favorite fast food location.
Looking for ice cream in Tucson? Check out The Hub. They handcraft their desserts with natural
ingredients and their own pasteurizer to create the creamiest, coolest, treat in town. The
charming atmosphere and unique flavors make it a memorable experience you won’t want to
miss.
Hang Out By The Water
When the temperatures rise, it’s time to hit the pool. Spend your days by the water at one of the
public swim facilities or water parks around the city. If you want to swim a few laps, the best spot
in town is the Manzanita Pool. Rather lounge in a private cabana and cool off under a giant
water bucket? Grab the whole crew for a visit to Funtasticks Tucson to romp around their
Cactus Springs water park.
Explore Downtown
Step out of the sun and into the cool air-conditioned stores and restaurants of Downtown
Tucson. There are frequent summer events and special deals on tap, and the close proximity of the businesses means you can hit a bunch of hotspots with minimal time in the heat. You can
also wait until the sun goes down to enjoy the nightlife or a live show.
Make the Most of the Cooler Moments
Summer in Tucson is also the monsoon season. You can get a break from the sun and soak up
a rainstorm or watch lightning light up the night sky. Tucson is known for epic sunsets. Go for a
hike or a bike ride later in the day to catch a peek at the colorful skies as the sun sinks. One
great spot to go is Saguaro National Park West for a great view of the setting sun highlighting
the desert terrain. Yes, you’ll want to bring your camera.
