Ua visitor center offers campus tours.
![university of arizona walking tour James+Bly%2C+a+1968+UA+alumnus%2C+gives+a+history+tour+through+campus+on+Wednesday.+The+Visitor+Center+gives+different+types+of+tours+throughout+the+week.](https://wildcat.arizona.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/83396124-a1a3-4061-aba5-a38d0366d01d.sized-1000x1000-1-900x600.jpg)
The UA Visitor Center began its fall Campus Walking Tours this month. The tours, which are typically conducted by UA Visitor Center volunteers and UA alumni, occur every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
This year the Visitor Center is offering four types of walking tours around campus including “Things to Do at the U,” the public art tour and the history tour. The newest addition to the list is the Sustainability/Sustainable Landscapes Tour, which focuses on various locations around campus that have turned into sustainable environments by using water harvesting or solar resources.
“We’re working really close with the campus arboretum to provide information about sustainability throughout the walk,” said Wendi Rountree, program coordinator at the UA Visitor Center.
The tours are free to the public and visitors are provided with a water bottle and carrying case before they take a 90-minute trek around the UA campus. While on the history tour, participants will be educated on historic campus landmarks including the Arizona State Museum, Old Main and Centennial Hall.
James Bly, a UA alumni and volunteer for the Visitor Center, has been leading the history tour for the last four years. He says he is still finding new things about the campus.
“It’s amazing how much public art items there are on campus because they don’t initially jump right out at you, so you never realize it,” Bly said. “At least, I didn’t.”
Aside from walking tours every Wednesday, the center also hosts special tours during events on campus like Family Weekend or Homecoming. On the first Saturday of the month, the center also gives shuttle tours of the campus to people who have mobility issues.
“It’s basically like the historic tour but you are on a bus route,” Rountree said.
The tours start at the Visitor Center, located on the corner of University Boulevard and Euclid Avenue. The Visitor Center advises tour attendees to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

Few places in Tucson rival the serenity of the University of Arizona main campus on a weekend or early morning. The landscape ethos communicates unrivaled vitality and an equivalent calm that needs to be experienced! Perhaps you have felt it. Have you wondered in amazement at the diversity and beauty of the trees on the campus grounds? Collectively, these trees have a rich history rooted in our Land Grant Mission and individually, they also each have an interesting story to learn.
In an effort to promote stewardship and conservation of almost 8000 of these historic and botanically diverse trees, the UA Campus Arboretum hosts a variety of outreach and educational programs that extend university science and expertise to communities throughout the state. Our impact begins with the ubiquitous botanical signage installed throughout the grounds targeting every campus resident and visitor but extends further through our online resources to benefit the whole world.
![university of arizona walking tour](https://arboretum.arizona.edu/sites/arboretum.arizona.edu/files/HiRes_IMG_0088.jpg)
Since the recognition of the campus as an arboretum in 2002, more than 550 botanical signs have been installed to promote understanding of their diversity and history. The wide distribution of these signs creates a compelling opportunity to leverage our expertise in urban ecological sustainability through detailed interpretation of sustainability initiatives on campus. To this end, we installed new interpretive signs embedded with Quick-Response (QR) codes that allow mobile users direct access to a wide range of content online. With generous support from the UA Green Fund , and significant contributions from Campus Arboretum donors , we were able to fund the removal, repair, redesign, and restallation of nearly 550 new signs. Students also created web content describing almost half of the species in our campus collection and added nearly 3000 new stunning photographs. The signs, along with additional web content and images allowed for the creation of mobile tours that supplement our docent-guided tours. To learn how to use the QR coded signs or take a mobile-guided-tour, see the help sheet below.Â
![university of arizona walking tour](https://arboretum.arizona.edu/sites/arboretum.arizona.edu/files/HiRes_IMG_0033.jpg)
Other resources for you to explore online include an interactive map to help you locate and ID campus trees, a plant selection tool to help you find the right plant for your site and terrific guided tours provided by the Pima Co. Master Gardeners and other volunteers. The campus tree tours highlight a variety of important trees and reveal principles of particular relevance to our communities including: working with edible and medicinal plants in the landscape, exploring the uses of Sonoran native plants, and conquering the challenges of landscape management in the southwest, among many others. These tours are offered according to a regular schedule or by special request . For convenience, there are also self-guided tour booklets available for you to print (online) or to check out (from 101 Herring Hall).Â

Student success is the highest priority at the University of Arizona. Tour the Student Success District to see how four interconnected buildings in the heart of campus bring this priority to life as one seamless experience.
With student input, the 9-acre District was created to improve the student experience by providing different services in the center of campus for students from all disciplines and colleges. Library Download services, learning support, tutoring, advising, mentoring, career services and health programs are more accessible now that the Main Library, the Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library, Bear Down Building and the Bartlett Academic Success Center are connected through the Districtâs intentional design.
The vision for the District was greatly enhanced by private gifts from generous donors, including Patricia and Bruce Bartlett, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, Terry Seligman, and Graham and Kathleen Tubbs, who contributed long-term investments in the students.

Modern technology, utility infrastructure updates, and safety and accessibility improvements are installed so this treasured building can continue to serve the University for many years to come.

The Carranza Healing Garden between the Main Library and Bear Down offer places to sit and relax, and is part of the Districtâs efforts to support student wellness. The Wildcats Forever Memorial plaque was dedicated in the Garden in 2022 to honor the Wildcats who have passed while at the University.
Built in 1926, Bear Down was called the "Gymnasium and Armory" since it was also housed the Department of Military Science and Tactics. The building continued to serve the department and ROTC cadets for years and even provided dormitory space for military troops and students during and after World War II. In the fall of 1926, quarterback and student body president John Byrd âButtonâ Salmon â a promising and popular student and athlete â was seriously injured in a car accident. The coach at the time, J.F. "Pop" McKale, regularly visited Salmon in the hospital, said Salmon's last message to the team was, "Tell them, tell the team to bear down." Students embraced those words and memorialized Salmon by painting them on the roof of Bear Down. It wasn't until 1983 that the building was officially named Bear Down Gymnasium.

![university of arizona walking tour Barlett Building](https://successdistrict.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/styles/az_large/public/06%20-%20BASC.jpeg?itok=qEIHnl-A)
The Bartlett Academic Success Center is a central place for serving and connecting with students.
Support. Outreach. Success. (SOS) supports all University of Arizona community members, with a focus on enhancing the student experience. We know that when students have a central place or simple way to have questions answered and to seek support they are more successful. Each year SOS answers thousands of questions and helps Arizona students and other community members find resources on campus.
Thrive Centerâs mission is to advance a community where students successfully navigate through, excel in, and graduate from the University of Arizona prepared for life after college. Thrive Center's work is focused on three distinct areas related to student persistence and degree attainment: building community for students who have been historically underrepresented on college campuses, are low-income, and/or are first generation college students; collaborating across campus to serve students and centering students' wellness in and outside of the classroom.
THINK TANK, which is on the second floor, is the students go-to destination for academic support at the University of Arizona. THINK TANK offers a variety of services in math, writing, science, business, statistics, language, and academic skills. Thanks to the Student Services Fee dollars at work, the majority of our tutoring and academic support services are free.
9. Bartlett Academic Success Center, 3rd & 4th Floors
The Strategic Alternative Learning Techniques (SALT) Center is a national leader in providing academic support services to those with learning and attention differences, enrolls as many as 700 students each year.

Student Engagement & Career Development (SECD) offers meaningful learning experiences and career services and development in collaboration with colleges, departments, student organizations, alumni and employers. SECD collaborates with employers for job recruiting and career information events that will be held inside Bear Down Gym.
On the Bartlett Centerâs fourth floor, students have access to academic advising from the A Center , the College of Humanities , the College of Science and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences . Many University of Arizona students are double and even triple majors. A single visible and accessible location for student services and academic advising from multiple units under one roof will benefit the students greatly.
10. Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library, 2nd floor
![university of arizona walking tour Weaver Science and Engineering Library](https://successdistrict.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/styles/az_large/public/09-weaver%20library.jpg?itok=-QlbghQt)
The renovations at the Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library , which was built in 1963, were completed in 2020 on the second and third floors to create a research and study ecosystem emphasizing collaborative, hands-on learning that students can easily navigate.
Weaver Library is home to the first collaborative classroom on campus. What started as a pilot project is now the collaborative learning classroom model used throughout the university campus.
The renovation design was inspired by the buildingâs pre-existing 260-seat collaborative classroom that brings in over 1,500 students a day into this library. The renovations facilitate the extension of the classroomâs focus on applied, collaborative pedagogy into the other areas of the second and third floors.
The new sunlit glass atrium-like lobby entrance on the east side of the building was designed to replace the solid brick wall on the east side, allowing for natural light and views of the Bear Down Building. Before the renovations, the only sunlight inside the library was through the windows located on the north and south sides of the building. The library houses materials in areas such as fine arts, life and physical sciences, engineering and technology, and military sciences.
11. Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library, 3rd floor
![university of arizona walking tour Weaver 3rd Floor](https://successdistrict.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/styles/az_large/public/weaver%20library_study%20space_3rd%20floor.jpg?itok=hQbsR3NR)
The new staircase in the Weaver Library's glass lobby entrance connects the second and third floors, improves traffic flow, and a two-floor interconnected ecosystem is dedicated to collaborative learning and research.
The Provostâs Office provided the support to open a Family Study Room on the fourth floor for a family-friendly study space for university student parents/guardians and their children. This initiative was spearheaded by the Graduate and Professional Student Council. We also welcome university post-docs, staff, and faculty accompanied by children.
Weaver Library is also home to the Collaborative Faculty Room on the third floor and the Rehearsal Performance Room on the fifth floor where College of Fine Arts students, faculty, and staff can practice and record musical instruments.
12. Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering Library, West entrance
![university of arizona walking tour Weaver Science and Engineering Library 2nd floor](https://successdistrict.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/styles/az_large/public/weaver_floor%202_east_0.jpg?itok=9JcBhIV0)
The new open floor plan inspires collaboration and group study with movable, modular furnishings, whiteboards, and new adjacent group study rooms. Students can now easily access computers, printers, scanners, self-check machines, and the service desk in the lobby.
Changes transformed both the second and third floors of the Weaver Library from a âTâ layout that caused traffic bottlenecks to an â8â layout that creates more spatial connectivity and continuity. These renovations allow students to travel easily in and out of the collaborative classroom to other areas of the library where computers and a variety of new study spaces are located.

Planning a road trip? Stop at one of these 18 uniquely Arizona roadside attractions
![university of arizona walking tour university of arizona walking tour](https://www.azcentral.com/gcdn/-mm-/7ba2dec3cbb2895385a4eacc5a4a02849e1bf938/c=0-277-2297-1575/local/-/media/2015/08/24/Phoenix/Phoenix/635760282474530677-124638-summerspots6.jpg?width=660&height=372&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
While the nearest rest stop or fast-food chain restaurant may be the most convenient place for tired travelers searching for a reprieve from the open road, it would be remiss of road trippers to ignore the unusual roadside attractions scattered along the Arizona highways.
If life-sized cartoon characters near the Grand Canyon or exotic animals on the way to Tucson sound like better pit stops than the local gas station, you're in luck when driving in Arizona.
Here are some of the most notable Arizona roadside attractions you can check out the next time you cross the Grand Canyon state.
Bedrock City at Raptor Ranch
As if Fred Flintstone's prehistoric town had always been set in Arizona, visiting Bedrock City at Raptor Ranch will make baby boomers (and anyone else who watched reruns of the popular '60s cartoon) nostalgic for their childhood. Colorful statues of familiar characters and the iconic brontosaurus slide have been essential roadside attractions off State Route 64 in Valle.
Details: 332 S. State Route 64, Valle. 928-635-3072. www.raptor-ranch.com .
Four Corners Monument Navajo Tribal Park
Less of a roadside attraction and more of a cool fun fact you can share, the Four Corners Monument Navajo Tribal Park recognizes the only place in the U.S. where the borders of four states meet. After visiting, you can finally join many Southwestern residents in saying you have been in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona all at the same time.
Details: 597 NM-597, Teec Nos Pos. 928-206-2540. www.navajonationparks.org.
Meteor Crater
Over 50,000 years ago, an iron-nickel meteorite approximately 150 feet wide collided with what is now northern Arizona. According to the site's website, the impact hit the Earth with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb. The crater this meteor left is now the best-preserved meteorite site on Earth and a historic landmark to visit if you are driving near Flagstaff.
Details: Interstate 40, Exit 233, Winslow. 928-289-5898. www.meteorcrater.com .
Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch
If you are heading south near Picacho Peak, it is hard to miss the billboards advertising Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. Seemingly the only place you can find stingrays, donkeys, deer, parrots and dozens of ostriches in the middle of nowhere, this roadside attraction is a great spot for adults and children to make memories.
Details: 17599 E Peak Lane, Picacho. 520-466-3658. www.roostercogburn.com .
Take the scenic route: This stunning Arizona roadway was ranked most scenic drive in the US. See why
Standin' on the Corner Park
You don't have to be an Eagles groupie to be familiar with the nod to this Arizona town in one of their most popular songs, "Take it Easy." "Standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona ..." is a line memorialized by Winslow residents at Standin' on the Corner Park. A bronze statue of a young musician is a salute to the troubadours who put Winslow on the classic rock map.
Details: Corner of Kinsley Avenue and Second Street in Winslow. 928-289-2434. www.visitwinslow.com .
Without spoiling the enigma that can be uncovered in Benson, The Thing is a worthy roadside attraction to consider as you head down the I-10. The various billboards that line the highway are hard to miss as you get closer to the "Mystery of the Desert." Located next to a Dairy Queen and a Shell gas station, you can take care of your hunger, gas tank and curiosity at the same time.
Details: 2631 N. Johnson Road, Benson. 520-586-2581. www.bowlinsthething.com .
Arizona's 'world's largest' roadside wonders
According to a map created by blog.batchgeo.com , more than 195 roadside attractions in the U.S. consider themselves the âworldâs largestâ something. These are Arizona's "world's largest" wonders and where they are located.
- World's Largest Cow Skull, Amado.
- World's Largest Petrified Tree, Holbrook.

- World's Largest Kokopelli, Camp Verde.
- World's Largest Kachina, Carefree.

Giganticus Headicus
Art is completely subjective. To Kingman residents, Giganticus Headicus is one of the most iconic art pieces off Route 66. Created by local artist Gregg Arnold, the tiki-style head is 14 feet tall and bright green. If taking a picture isn't enough, you can further memorialize your time with the head with a miniature from the local gift shop.
Details: 9855 AZ-66, Kingman. www.antaersvisitorcenter.com .
Wigwam Village Motel
Need a place to stay overnight? Have you considered a wigwam? This quaint village off Mother Road may be just the eccentric place to spend a night while traveling through the state. Constructed in the 1950s, a night in a wigwam will make you forget why you would want to sleep anywhere else.
Details: 811 W. Hopi Drive, Holbrook. 928-524-3048. sleepinawigwam.com .
Lumberjack muffler man
A familiar face to Northern Arizona University students, the 25-foot-tall muffler man resembles the school's mascot, Louie the Lumberjack. Before being moved outside of the Skydome, the lumberjack was located outside the Lumberjack Cafe and appeared in the background of the 1969 movie "Easy Rider."
Details: 1701 S. San Francisco St., Flagstaff.
Rainbow Rock Shop Dinosaurs
If you're in search of more prehistoric creatures to gape at, stop at the Rainbow Rock Shop as you drive along Route 66. Fans of geodes and other pretty rocks will be able to admire the variety of concrete dinosaurs while searching for their next gem.
Details: 101 Navajo Blvd., Holbrook.
Located near the Mexico border, Dateland is a necessary stop on Interstate 8. A major producer of the Medjool dates, the dry heat provides the perfect climate for cultivating the fruit. Dates are fiber-rich, sweet as candy and contain more potassium than a banana. Try Dateland's world-famous date shake when you visit.
Details: 1737 Ave. 64 E., Dateland. 928-454-2772. www.dateland.com .
London Bridge
You don't need to travel across the world to experience a little European history. As a result of a strange series of events, the London Bridge , which once crossed the River Thames, was broken down and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City by Robert P. McCulloch. This British import attracts tens of thousands of travelers every year.
Details: 1340 McCulloch Blvd. N., Lake Havasu City. 928-453-3444. www.golakehavasu.com .
Take a break from speeding down the highway by cruising through the ponderosa pine forest. An attraction you don't need to get out of your car to enjoy, Bearizona has over three miles of road surrounded by picturesque nature and North American animals. If your legs need a break from sitting in a cramped car, the park also has a 20-acre walk-through area.
Details: 1500 E Route 66, Williams. 928-635-2289. www.bearizona.com .
