Tohono Chul: an oasis in the desert

Tohono Chul Garden Bistro is truly one of the best outdoor dining experiences in Oro Valley. Their patios are spacious and as the weather warms up, it’s a great place to dine outdoors and safely enjoy their scenery and atmosphere. They are also happy to fulfil to-go orders for those that prefer not to dine-in. Travel + Leisure Magazine regards Tohono Chul as “One of the World’s Ten Best Botanical Gardens” and on first visit you’ll understand why. The garden’s 49 acres of desert changes with the seasons and the Park features regular events including live music, lectures, guided tours and more.
