AZ Airfare and Adventures

The state of Arizona has so much to offer and with AZ airfare being affordable in the shoulder and off-peak seasons you really should visit and explore the state. You may want to tour the Grand Canyon with the wonder of nature showing you just how patience and time can erode something into a true thing of wonder. Or you could want to see some of the outstanding museums the state has to offer with the rich history of the Native Americans, Hispanic culture and western culture all available in different locations.

This is a great way to discover your Arizona Attractions. The Heard Museum in Central Arizona is a must "visit" for anyone interested in the history of the area. Here you will be exposed to some of the best in traditional and contemporary American Indian art. You will find ten exhibition galleries that include 5 long-term and five changing exhibitions with two different locations for you to tour.

While you are visiting the Phoenix area you may want to tour Pueblo Grande Museum which is an archaeological site museum and repository. The purpose of the museum is developing the knowledge of prehistory, history, and ethnology of inhabitants of the Southwest. The museum is positioned at a 1,500 year-old Hohokam village ruins. You can discover reproductions of the prehistoric Hohokam homes when exploring the ruin trail. At the site is also one of the last remaining intact Hohokam irrigation canals. This is a fantastic piece of Hohokam history.

A few hours to the southeast, you will find wonderful Tuscon attractions. Head on down to Tombstone where you can see the Old West. Tombstone is known as "The Town Too Tough To Die," and is the most infamous of Arizona's old mining camps. This region produced millions of dollars of gold and silver throughout a 7 year period. While you are visiting Tombstone you will discover the chance to visit Boothill Graveyard, the old Tombstone Courthouse and watch many of the residents dressed in period clothing.

Near Tucson you can visit the Titan Missile Museum which was home to one of the Titan II Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. There were 18 Titan II missile sites located at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. The Titan Missile Museum is the only Titan Missile site that remains intact; all the others were destroyed. You can go on a guided tour that includes the launch control room with a simulated launch and then travel on through the 200 ft tunnel for an in person look at the Titan II missile. It's an awesome tour, be sure to make time to visit.

Travel on over to Yuma and visit the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. Here you will be able to tour the prison that housed 3,069 prisoners, 29 of whom were female. The prison was last used in 1909 when the prisoners were relocated to a new facility. Today you can tour the prison and look at the front gate that is so familiar to anyone that has watched western movies.
