Have an Adventure
96. Arizona Zipline Adventures. Take the opportunity to push your own limits while whizzing through the refreshing mountain air out in Peppersauce Canyon (aka the back side of Mount Lemmon) thanks to the good folks at Arizona Zipline Adventures. Enjoy a view of the Sonoran Desert unlike any other—if you weigh between 50 and 250 pounds, that is—and even enjoy a burger at the Peppersauce Kitchen. 35406 S. Mount Lemmon Road, Oracle. ziparizona.com.
97. Get a summer wardrobe at Buffalo Exchange. If you’re the type of brave soul that actually goes out during the summer, a new wardrobe might be exactly what you need. Embrace the summer with some of the trendiest buys in Arizona. And what better place to buy a new outfit than the original Buffalo Exchange right here in Tucson? 2001 E. Speedway Blvd.
98. Hug a Costco pallet. On that day when the heat finally cracks you, we recommend heading to Costco, walking directly to the chilled room with fruits and vegetables, and wrapping your arms around the pallet of strawberries. Sure, you’ll have to leave eventually, but until the authorities arrive to peel you away, you’ll be in heaven.
99. Escape Room. If escaping the heat isn’t enough for you, why not escape something a little more intense? Whether you want to escape from a jail, rob a bank, escape the Wild West or more, Tucson has plenty of escape rooms for you to choose from. Although once you escape back into the summer sun, you might go running back in. Check out Escape Room Tucson (3655 N. Oracle Road, #102), Ace of Escape (406 N. Church Ave), Fox in a Box (972 E. University Blvd.) and others.
100. Buy a new Super Nintendo Classic. We get it, summer ain’t what it used to be when you were a kid. Fear not! Nintendo is getting the nostalgia running high with their Super Nintendo Classic. It comes preloaded with over 20 classic Nintendo games for only $80. Take the summer back!
101. Communicate With The ‘Other Side.’ Say what? More like séance down at Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment’s Diamond Center when mediums James Van Praagh and Deb Sheppard come to town. The duo will entertain an audience with their messages from the “other” side…though we’re not exactly sure where that is. Tickets start at $15. Saturday, June 30. Doors at 7 p.m. 1100 W. Pima Mine Road. ddcaz.com
