Marana in June

Father’s Day and Cactus Blooms   

Much like the reptiles who call our desert home, the pace of events tends to slow down as the weather heats up. The ones we do have, however, are some of the most unique of the year. We have a wide variety of activities and experiences for every type of dad for Father’s Day, as well as one of the region’s most anticipated, mysterious, and unique events.

The Marana Visitor Center at 13251 N. Lon Adams Road, Marana, AZ, is a designated Arizona Visitor Information Center by the Arizona Office of Tourism. Stop by for maps on your way to Saguaro National Park West.

Arizona’s State Flower: The Incredible Saguaro Cactus Flower
If you’re reading this at the end of May or in early June, you may still be able to see some of the Saguaro cactus blossoms, Arizona’s state flower. Later in June, the cacti bear ruby red fruit.
