Clear weather and dark-sky ordinances make Arizona an astronomy buff’s paradise. You’ll find everything from resorts offering guests the use of a telescope to ranger-led stargazing programs. Serious scientific facilities, such as Flagstaff’s Lowell Observatory and Kitt Peak National Observatory southwest of Tucson, are also open to the public.

Spy desert birds in Scottsdale’s McDowell Mountains.
BIRDWATCHING
Arizona is one giant highway for migratory birds heading to and from their southern wintering spots. Couple that with abundant riparian areas where migratory and native birds like to flock, and you’ve got a birdwatcher’s delight. Grab binocs and head to Southern Arizona hot spots like Ramsey Canyon or Sonoita Creek, or to annual events such as Wings Over Willcox or the Yuma Birding & Nature Festival.
View the heavens through Arizona’s largest dedicated public viewing telescope at Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter in Tucson.
Hope springs eternal during March, when 14 Major League Baseball teams join the Arizona Diamondbacks in Greater Phoenix for Cactus League Spring Training—a baseball tradition since 1947. Soak up the sun at one of Greater Phoenix’s 10 stadiums, have a cold one and a hot dog, and let the kids collect autographs from their favorite players. Then venture beyond the baseball diamond to discover what really makes Arizona Spring Training unique.
