Visitors have found Tohono Chul to be one
of Tucson’s most outstanding places to mark
special occasions. Because of the distinctive
atmosphere of the demonstration gardens,
historic homes and lush environment, we are
a sought after location for weddings, receptions
and large or small gatherings. No matter the
time of year, something is always in bloom and
the setting is perfect for any activity.

Tohono Chul’s showplace grounds and facilities offer many opportunities for those planning special activities. Whether the occasion is for 10 or 200, the wonderful ambiance of the Park makes every moment memorable.
