Things to Do with Kids in Tucson - WINTER edition

Winter in Tucson. It's one of the most beloved seasons here in Southern Arizona. With beautiful blue skies, cheerful rays of sunlight, and 40-70 degree temperatures, it's no wonder that snowbirds and celebrities flock here.

If you have kids, this is the time to enjoy the outdoors. The temps are nice. The birds are singing. The trails are calling. Even if you're carless, this is the perfect season to get out for a neighborhood walk.

If the weather turns cold (brrrr...50 degrees...that's the way we roll), read aloud a good book to your little ones and cozy up with steaming hot cocoa.
