Looking for a place to spend a quiet few hours? Tohono Chul
Park is designed to educate, influence and relax visitors who come
to the 49 acre park. The Geographic Traveler has listed the park
in the top 22 of the Secret Gardens in the US and Canada.
There are winding trails through gardens and natural areas. View
the Sundial Plaza, the Alice C. Herman Garden for Children where children
can sail wooden boats down the stream, hunt for the turtles hiding
in the stream or play in the vine teepees, the Sin Agua Garden (“Without
Water”) sound interesting? There’s much more such
as the Sonoran Seasons Gardens which will exhibit plants during their
peak season, the Spanish Colonial Gardens, the Desert Living Courtyard
which invites the visitors to see how desert plants are used in ten
different garden settings all with water conservation in mind. As
you walk, look at the designs in the pathway and you will see the park
logo which is the rattlesnake.
Part of the goal of the park is to educate the visitors about the
plant and animal life in the Sonoran Desert.
There are self guided tours as well as guided tours. Add to
this, the exhibits, Park's Exhibit House is a charming, restored adobe
building built in 1937. Baskets, rugs, blankets, pottery and
paintings are some of the art on exhibit. Our local population
covers diverse ethnic and cultural styles much of which are shared
in these exhibits.
Shop in the museum shops and top of the visit with breakfast, lunch
or tea in the delightful Tea Room which is in a lovely Spanish-Colonial
home, the West House, with its plant-filled courtyard and welcoming
patio is home to the Tohono Chul Park Tea Room.
