Where to Stay in Tucson with Kids

by

If you are heading to Southern Arizona, you must visit the wonderful town of Tucson. Below we provide you with some great options on where to stay in Tucson with kids!

For me, when planning a trip somewhere, one of the biggest roadblocks is figuring out where to stay. Every destination is filled with so many options – from budget options and home stays to fancy resorts. Do you want to stay in downtown Tucson or near the University of Arizona? A historic hotel, bed and breakfast or you just want something with a pool and hot tub! This can be one of the most overwhelming parts of travel planning. After our 10 day visit and hours of research, I wanted to share it all with you. 

All of the hotels listed below are super family friendly offering various amenities to help you enjoy your time in Tucson. There are a ton of other options in the city that we also had the opportunity to check out, but these are our favorites that we would highly recommend if you are planning a trip to the Sonoran Desert any time soon!

The Best in Zion National Park Lodging

by

The best Zion National Park LodgingOne of our favorite summer trips, with the best hike ever was to Zion National Park. This is one of Utah’s most visited parks and for good reason – it is an amazingly immersive experience whether you stay inside the park or not. On our last visit, we waited a little late in the game to book accomodation so we were forced to just go with what was available, which ended up being great.  But, now that I’m looking at visiting again I’ve found a ton of amazing lodging options around the park.

The best of Zion National Park LodgingZion National Park is one of the few parks where it might be more advantageous to stay outside of the park than in. Springdale, literally right outside the gates of the park, is home to a variety of places to stay near Zion as well as great restaurants (the pizza I’m still dreaming about is here!), shops and entertainment. This tends to be the top choice for accommodation since it is easily accessible to the park and has all the facilities anyone would need during their stay.

However, as I researched unique places to stay, there are a ton of options a little further afield that are worth a look as well – either on your way to the park or as your home base to explore the region. I’ve weeded through it all and come up with the best of Zion National Park lodging for you. What do you think? Did I miss any favorites?
