Anyone who lives here knows that there's no shortage of things to do in Tucson. Nonetheless, a national publication has narrowed it down to the 11 best, and some of the entries are no surprise.
U.S. News & World Report, an 80-year-old news and information magazine-turned-website that's known for its rankings of colleges, jobs, cars and other items requiring big decisions, also ranks travel and leisure these days.
How do they decide?
"For any given destination, U.S. News' top things to do are selected based on our editors' analysis of what major travel publications recommend you do and see and a sampling of the opinions real travelers have expressed across the Web," according to the site.
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is at the top of the list and Gaslight Theatre is at the bottom (but that's still good, since it's such a short list.)
We won't give away that nine other entries are, but here's a hint: Most of them involve the great outdoors!
Check out the rankings here and tell us in the comments what you think. Are these really the best things to do?
