http://biosphere2.org/ 32540 S Biosphere Rd, Oracle, AZ

Biosphere 2 is located north of Tucson, Arizona at the base of the stunning Santa Catalina Mountains. This one-of-a-kind facility sits on a ridge at a cool elevation of nearly 4,000 feet and is surrounded by a magnificent natural desert preserve. Come experience the remarkable Biosphere 2 which Time Life Books named one of the 50 Must-See Wonders of the World. See why visitors from around the globe journey here for this unique adventure not found anywhere else. Discover real-time research on the future of our planet as it unfolds in the world's largest earth science laboratory.

The under-the-glass walking tour of Biosphere 2 consists of approximately 150 stairs (up and down) and the route is just under one mile to walk round-trip. The tour duration is one hour and 15 minutes with a considerable amount of standing. This includes ten minutes of travel to and from the Visitor Center. The tour includes time outdoors as well as inside the Biosphere 2 research facility. The weather can range from quite cold in the winter months to extremely warm during the summer months. Winter and spring weather can be unpredictable in Southern Arizona so wearing layers of clothing is recommended. Comfortable, closed-toed shoes are also highly recommended as the tour route includes standing, climbing and walking. Unfortunately, due to low ceilings (in some areas) and doorways, babies and children can NOT be carried on an adult's back. Front carrying and front slings are acceptable. Bottled water is allowed on the tour and encouraged. Visitors who have medical considerations, special needs, or are non-ambulatory may find the tour too difficult

We will be gathering for lunch (sandwich, chips soda/water and dessert) at 11a.m. and then proceed to our tour(s)

Cost: Members are free! Guests: Adults $15; Kids 17 and under $10
