Reviews
"This is such a hidden gem full of historical significance, a gem museum, articles from the past, and photographs. There are clean restrooms, a nice cafe, and beautiful architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed the courtroom audio show. This is a must see when you are in the area."
"NOT for children apparently. We were welcomed with open arms, and there is an exhibit at toddler height to slide 2 inch thick plexiglass animals back and forth, an interactive exhibit. However, apparently you are not allowed to slide the animals or press any buttons. We were rudely stared down and followed throughout the exhibit, asked to not to slide objects or press buttons. What are the buttons for? Laughter is not permitted as well. Really confusing and disappointing place, I can’t see how it represents Arizona well to visitors. Not a family friendly space."
"The court John Dillenger and his gang were arraigned in after being captured in Tucson...COOL!"
"Very nice place to rest with a good cup of espresso. Courtyard is shady, ample of space and clean restrooms. The construction is completed, so enjoy the public space. One interesting observation: if provided with support cacti can grow ... indefinitely (well, almost)."
"Very friendly and helpful crew. We gave them our interests and budget and they gave us excellent recommendations starting with the Hall of Champions at University of Arizona!"
