Anybody been to the SCI Museum in Tucson? Would it be worth a day trip to go see?

The various Diorama's are awesome...
They enclosed them all in High Fences to show the animals in their Natural Habitat.
You get a Bronze Medal with Admission and the keep all the best Exhibits in the Inner Circle, but you have to upgrade your admission to either Gold or Diamond to enter the Inner Circle or buy 5 or More Grand Slam meals in the Restaurant attached.

The C.J. McElroy collection alone is worth the price of admission.

Hope you enjoy your time in Tucson.

Ty, I agree. McElroy's High Altai ram was worth the admission price!

It is really worth seeing, it is an awesome display of taxidermy and some fantastic trophies and some exotic animals I did not even knew existed, some of the dioramas are very nice and I personally enjoyed seeing the name of some famous hunters I admired which donated the mounts.

Okay, I'll admit that I laughed at that.

Many years ago I did visit Tucson's Arizona Desert Museum which is basically a zoo of the native fauna.

I moved to Phoenix a year ago, and have been thinking about making a trip down there, just didn't want to burn one of my few days off if it wasn't worth it. I was fairly impressed by the Rosenbruch Museum in St. George, UT where I had been for the previous 5 years.

Do they have a significant collection of jewelry, cigars and beverages as shown in their magazine? Smiler
