We ate at a place called Ovens with our teens and really enjoyed ourselves. They serve really good pizzas and other dishes. It was moderately priced, but nice.

we will be there over Easter week. Thanks for the great info

This is a great site for restaurant recommendations. The forums are excellent as well.

I second the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum. Stop at Gates Pass~ incredible views and photo ops. Also, don't miss Sabino Canyon, walk up or take the tram. The Saguaro National Park is excellent as well(there is one on each side of the city).There is always Mt. Lemon too. San Javier Mission is interesting. If you are interested you can make the drive to Nogales, Mexico (it is a typical border town but can be an experience!)Reid Park has a zoo, pattleboats, etc. If you are in Tucson at the right time, you can watch the Colorado Rockies practice.
My kids like Little Anthony's to eat. It is a 50's style restaurant. There is no end to the possibilities for activities or restaurants! Have fun!

All of the suggestions sound good (although Little Anthonys?? You can skip it.) Take the teens to Kartchner Caverns near Benson (reserve ahead of time). If it rains, as it has done alot this season, go to The Center For Creative Photography on the U of A campus. It's great to go there anyway, but when the weather is nice, it's more fun to be outside. If you are still in town April 1,2 or 3rd there is an outdoor art show at the Tucson Museum of Art.
As far as good eats - there are lots of good places in Tucson. Ovens is very good. For authentic, great Mexican food try Mi Nidito in South Tucson. My teens also love some of the upscale places in town - North, Firebirds, J Bar. Cafe Poca Cosa is really good and has great atmosphere. It's located downtown. There are a couple of places near the University that my boys, and us, love. Gentle Ben's is a local brew pub with some great food and a nice patio. For a real dive, but wonderful pizza, try Zacharys. Have a great time!

For funky Mexican atmosphere and great food--El Charro (the original one downtown) and eat outside on the patio!

For a great hole-in-the-wall cheapo lunch place: Bisonwhich's on 4th Ave. GREAT grilled sandwhiches...man, I miss that place!

If spring training is going on, head to the ballpark south of Tucson and enjoy some baseball! Ahhh, hot dog and beer while sitting on a blanket on the grass over the outfield wall.

Now I'm jealous...have fun!

Thanks tuscon artist and azwildcat great suggestions. Any comments on good golf for the family not fancy or too expensive?

Add Sabino Canyon to the must-sees. Take the tram up and walk down. And, if you're lucky, there'll be water flowing across and you'll wade in shallow water part of the way down!
