Heaven for birders. Don't miss the dry streamed behind the center. A semipermanent water source attracts lots of birds.

An amazing experience! The docents are very well informed and friendly. One of my favorite memories of our Arizona trip.

An excellent location for seeing Hummingbird and other local species. Grounds are well kept and there are convenient, shaded sitting areas. I’m deducting one star because at this point it makes no sense to have a mandatory mask policy outdoors.

Finally made it to the Center. Fully lived up to expectations with a variety of birds sighted in a short time. Covid protections were observed by all met. Well worth a visit.

Great nature center. Bird feeders have been relocated to be visible from the road while the center is closed due to COVID.

I don't want to be rude, especially because it is a place with zero fee. Nevertheless, I was a little surprised that this place calls itself "center". It is basically the backyard of a house with a few hummingbird feed dispensers. I live in tucson, have a single feeder, and have more hummingbirds in my garden. Am I am the tucson hummingbird center now? ;-)

If your a bird lover of just like to see birds flitting around it's no question you have too stop here. Lots of bird feeders so there's lots of birds and more kinds of hummingbirds than you knew existed.

Started out as a private home but now is affiliated with the Tuscon Audubun. They have lover links to cameras focused on hummingbird feeders and sometimes have expert borders on site so you know what your seeing.

There's a very nice trail that goes to the nearby Nature Conservancy property.

Go there. Go out of your way to go there.

Really cool place to stop if your in the area. We went in mid February- lots of birds to sit and observe, we were able to spot a hummingbird too!

Nice place to see birds. Not many Hummingbirds in January, but have seen many more here in the past in March and other times.

Lots of bird feeders and a birding expert there to help find and identify the birds. It is about an acre of land or less but summer or winter there is a large variety of birds.and birders

What a great place to see a good variety of hummingbirds up close. Several different viewing areas are available so visitors can spread out a bit. Look for other birds and squirrels as well. Worth the drive.

It's a great place for a family outing. They continue to improve and add to the center. Relaxing and educational.

A quiet shaded retreat if you like to patiently wait for birds and hummingbirds to appear close to your viewing bench. This area attracts a large variety of birds.

Amazing place for bird lovers. Years of bird feeding has established this place as an oasis for all sorts of birds. Hummingbird action is superb. Birds come in so fast you can barely keep up!

Nice place. Small but growing as funds permit. Trails are being developed. We saw three species of hummingbird plus other fauna.

Some of the best and easiest bird watching around. There's so much more than hummingbirds here. I got 45 species in a day, including a couple of lifers. Particularly excellent for photographers.

Not only does this place attract lots of hummers, but lots of their fans who will help you identify them.

Besides watching Birds, there's a nice hiking trail along Sonoita Creek toward the nature conservancy about a mile each way.

Wonderful place for birding! Loads of feeders, well placed for viewing and photography. And a unique (to us) feature: all the feeders had numbers, so someone could say "Lucifer on 7" and you quickly knew where to look. Parking is somewhat limited. Outdoor toilets provided and appreciated. RECOMMEND!
