Pima County Sports Hall of Fame's mission is to properly document and preserve the contributions of the talented athletes who have had a positive impact on sports in Pima County. Established in April of 1989, this museum honors the exceptional moments in sports and of individuals who participated in Pima County high schools, community college, university or professional athletics. Athletes who have contributed in other areas like coaching, officiating as a referee, or worked to promote various events in the area are also spotlighted in the Hall of Fame. A unique look at the role of sports in this community will fascinate any fan.

This zoo is definitely the wildest attraction in Tucson.
Even though the Quarry Pines Golf Club is a few miles outside of the Tucson metro area, it doesn't mean that the little extra effort it takes to get there isn't worth it. The shots are as challenging as they are picturesque, as most of these holes are routed below the rim of a massive stone quarry. This very playable par 71 course is a great change of pace that will no doubt improve your game with its jagged twists and turns.
