Tucson Arizona was surprisingly a fun place to visit.  We went late October – early November and the weather was absolutely perfect.  We stayed at the Voyager RV Resort (see review) which was a very nice and large resort.  There were quite a few attractions worth exploring in Tuscan.  They include Seguaro National Park (East and West), Titan Missile Museum, Biosphere 2 (one of the top 50 wonders of the world), Mission San Xavier, Mt. Lemmon and Pima Air & Space Museum.  There was definitely a lot to do in Tucson and a few places we didn’t get to see was Reid Park Zoo, Tucson Botanical Gardens and Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Farm.

The Biosphere 2 (https://biosphere2.org/) is about 45 minutes North of Tucson and could easily spend a half day or more visiting.  This was a guided tour and there are several habitats to explore.  They include seven biome areas with a rainforest, ocean with a coral reef, mangrove wetlands, savannah grassland, fog desert, and two anthropogenic biomes.  A very unique experience and a must see.

The Titan Missile Museum (https://titanmissilemuseum.org/) is the only remaining Titan II site open to the public, allowing you to re-live a time when the threat of nuclear war between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union was a reality.  The guided tour of the facility includes the Control Center Launch area as well as the silo for storage of the Missile. This is a 45 minute tour and will take you underground.  You should book in advance but you can show up and if there is availability on a tour they will accommodate you.

San Xavior Mission (https://sanxaviermission.org/) was built in the 1700s. This recently restored white adobe church represents a wonderful example of Spanish colonial architecture.  It is unbelievably beautiful inside and out, with colorful frescoes, sculptures and carvings with an amazing architecture on the interior.  It is worth the visit and probably need about an hour to see everything and take pictures.

The Pima Air & Space Museum (https://pimaair.org/) is one of the world's largest non-government funded aerospace museums. The museum features a display of nearly 300 aircraft spread out over 80 acres on a campus occupying 127 acres. It has also been the home to the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame since 1991.

Mount Lemmon - (https://mtlemmon.com) is located in the Santa Catalina Range and about an hour away from Tuscon.  It is surrounded by the Coronado National Forest.  On your way to the Mount Lemmon's Peak, you'll drive along the 27-mile sky islands scenic byway, which is more than just a way to get to the top.  It takes around 2 hours to drive up Mt Lemmon with stops. Coming down takes about 45 minutes (without stops). There are a few Vista points along the way with some that you can definitely spend some time at and enjoy the view or hike various trails.  We stopped at the Mt. Lemmon General Store and Gift Shop at the peak to check out some of the goodies and supplies they carried.  A great retreat in the summer and approximately 30 degrees cooler than nearby Tucson.
