Stay Cool and Entertained in Tucson This Summer

Summer in Tucson means the sun is shining bright and the temperatures are rising fast. But just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean you have to stay home feeling cooped up. Whether you want to explore, stay active, or simply enjoy a little peace and quiet, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your summer—while keeping cool and comfortable.

Enjoy Indoor Adventures

When the heat is at its peak, Tucson’s indoor attractions make it easy to stay cool while discovering something new.

Here are a few great spots for exploring:

Or, if you’re in the mood to sit back and relax:

  • Catch a film at The Loft Cinema, Tucson’s beloved indie movie theater
  • Enjoy a classic at RoadHouse Cinemas, with comfy seats and cool air
  • Visit a local library for a talk, film screening, or quiet browsing

Stay Active While Out of the Sun

Staying active during the summer doesn’t have to mean being outdoors. Tucson offers plenty of ways to move your body while staying safe from the heat.

Consider:

  • Gentle yoga or water aerobics classes at the rec center
  • Line dancing or group movement classes for fun and social connection
  • Join a painting, pottery, or knitting class at a local community center
  • A stroll through the Tucson Mall or Park Place Mall for light walking in air-conditioned comfort

Even everyday activities like grocery shopping or visiting a nearby bookstore can help keep you moving without overheating.
