Biosphere 2 Center
Has anyone here visited the biosphere outside of Tuscon, didn't see any mention of it anywhere? If so is it worth a side trip on our way to spend 3 nights in Phoenix?
Thanks
Thanks

I asked my husband, he went and he said, "it was interesting but it was a lot of money for research that could have been obtained for a lot less money."
Basically he thought it was "okay" You can't get in because, of course, it's a sealed enviroment and you spend your time there on the outside looking in. (from mr lsky)
If your driving north of Phoenix, maybe you would like to stop at Arcosanti. I just happened to be looking at the website this morning. We passed an enjoyable morning there. http://www.arcosanti.org

We thought Biosphere 2 was pretty much a waste of time and money.
However, there are three really great things to do in Tucson: Drive up Mt. Lemmon, hike or take the tram tour in Sabino Canyon, and visit the Desert Museum (most of which is outdoors).
