Getting dressed up for the night always seems to change your frame of mind from the usual routine, and to that end, why not take in an evening's worth of truly classic performances presented by the Tucson Symphony? It will be a romantic evening of dramatic crescendos and inviting melodies. The Tucson Symphony has the distinction of being the oldest continuing professional performing arts organization in the state of Arizona. From Bach to Bernstein and various guest performers scheduled regularly, you and your date will not only enjoy getting close to one another as the notes swell from the stage, you'll want to return for more before too long.

Grab your bike helmet and make sure that your wheels have enough air in them because the Perimeter Cycling El Tour de Tucson is gearing up for another run the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Held every year, the event attracts over 9,000 cyclists of every skill level. The event has been nationally recognized as one of the top three fundraising rides in the country as well as one of the premier organized rides in the U.S. The proceeds help benefit the University Medical Center in Tucson.

Tucson's International Wildlife Museum will capture the kids' imaginations while taking them on a whirlwind safari across the continents. Tigers from India, jaguars from Arizona, and sharks up close are just a few of the interactive exhibits and attractions your kids can experience. Plus, they may even learn a few things, too! A fully equipped IMAX theater showing science-themed movies and a fully-stocked souvenir shop round out a great day of traveling the globe to see some amazing creatures.

The Foothills Mall is really the best of both worlds. While shopping here, Old Navy will please the kids, Kirkland's will put a smile on mom's face, and dad will love spending time in the Sports Zone. And those are just a few of the great shops and outlet stores at the Foothills. There's also great entertainment, too. Check out the state-of-the-art IMAX Theater and grab a bite to eat at any of the great restaurants that include Applebee's, the Outback Steakhouse, and Sushi Garden North. At the Foothills Mall, there's definitely something for every taste!
