T Rex Museum
May 20, 2009 by Kat from Baltimore
Overall Rating: 4

• Panning for gold, digging for fossils and cracking a geode.
• Expensive, cramped, kind of dirty and homemade feel.

“Let me begin by saying that the kids had a really fun time. And I guess that's what counts, in the end. As a parent, however, I found it awkward to locate even with a GPS, small, cramped, kind of dirty and very homemade. Feral cats being rehabbed on site could be awkward for allergy sufferers. If you've seen the DVD Chased by Dinosaurs, don't bother with the film because that's what they're showing. But the panning for gold, digging for fossils and cracking a geode were fun. That's what my kids really enjoyed and have told their friends about. As I said, the kids had fun, but if there had been more than my two in there it would've been chaos. The lady who worked there was nice and very knowledgeable.”

Biosphere 2

• Tour, engineering design.

“The University of Arizona is now responsible for this site - The engineering of the facility is fascinating - the lung that keeps the air pressure constant is a high point of the tour. I would have loved to hear more about the personal stories of the biosphere participants - there has to be a book waiting to be written about them!”

• I liked the location where the church was build.

“One of the best churches I have seen.”

Tucson Greyhound Park
Mar 21, 2008 by Lacefullone
Overall Rating: 1

• There are people trying to help the dogs after they are done racing.
• The industry breeds so many dogs, 10,000 greyhounds die a year despite rescue efforts.

“Poorly maintained, ghetto track plagued by scandal and animal right violations. Do not go here- icky place in "the rough part of town" Not what you want nice tourists seeing, and as a nice tourist, you don't want any part of this place. It's an embarrassment to the community. The Tucson track is one of the worst in the country- this is where dogs go to die-or disappear in the desert with their ears cut off. You bet, they die.”

Desert Diamond Casino
Sep 4, 2007 by GAMBLER from DALLAS
Overall Rating: 3

• No ante on blackjack.
• No place to sit if not participating in games.

“Big casino no customer service. If you're not at a table or slot machine. Plan on standing not big on chairs.”
