Metropolitan Tucson Convention & Visitors Bureau:
Welcome to Arizona's second largest city------
Tucson (TOO-sahn) is a growing metropolis of 800,000 that keeps getting better and better. The city's geography is a postcard image of cactus forests, rolling hills, and craggy mountains. National and State Parks and Forests ring the city.
Tucson lies in the borderland, a region that blends the cultures of the United States and Mexico, and has a long history of settlement by ancient Native American peoples.
The weather is mild nearly all the time, just right for all kinds of fun outdoor activities.
We think you'll agree, whether you're a new visitor, just passing through, or a longtime resident re-discovering hometown treasures, Tucson is Real. Natural. Arizona.

Columbia University’s Biosphere 2:
Columbia University's Biosphere 2 Center expands accessibility inside its $150 million world-renowned living laboratory with the "World of Discovery" Under the Glass tour, the Center's most comprehensive tour to date.
With over 180,000 visitors a year, Columbia University's Biosphere 2 Center B2C in Arizona has made a formidable commitment to the public. From guided tours, to the public astronomy program, visitors may participate in a number of educational events at this extraordinary research facility
Enter the controlled mini-world of Biosphere 2. For the first time since the structure was built more than a decade ago, visitors can explore inside the 3.15 acre Laboratory on a fully guided tour. This tour utilizes a new trail traversing most of Biosphere 2's wilderness ecosystems that allows easier access to the public as well as for the scientists and researchers conducting experiments, and students, who use the Laboratory for project studies.
The Biosphere 2 Center was acquired by Columbia University as a research facility for examining how Earth's biosphere will change as carbon dioxide and other substances build in the atmosphere. The facility houses seven wilderness ecosystems, including a rainforest and a 3,400,000 liter (900,000 gallon) ocean, as well as a human habitat which now houses interactive exhibits.
Because of Biosphere 2's ability to sense and control the environment within, it is an ideal location to carry out experiments with plants. The 750 sensors monitor the vital statistics of this living laboratory - the sensors measure temperature, light, humidity, carbon dioxide and other qualities of the air and soil. In response to these readings, operators can, for example, turn on blowers for cooling and heating or create a miniature rainstorm to change the humidity.
Biosphere 2 Center, nestled in the high Sonoran desert at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains, enjoys one of the most breathtaking natural settings in all of Arizona. This unique research and education center is located in Oracle, just 30 minutes from Tucson.
