Welcome to Valley of the Moon
Kindness is the Real Magic
Due to the Delta variant, masks are required during crowded outdoor events for staff and guests. Check event description for details. For small groups such as during private access parties, mask use is optional. We continue to follow the CDC and local guidance to reduce risk of Covid19 transmission.
We regularly are open the first Saturday of each month for a family-friendly event and the third Sunday of each month for docent-led tours. We are also open for special events and private access can be arranged for a fee.

Quarantine measures have separated children from beloved Grandparents and others. Valley of the Moon has created SAFE PLACE, where COVID-vulnerable folk can reunite with their families under less risky conditions when the time is right. We also have made facility improvements to reduce risk of spreading COVID19. Program is staffed by Infectious Disease Preventionist Erin Archer. SAFE PLACE is free to participants! Interested? Email wizard@tucsonvalleyofthemoon.com with Safe Place in the subject line and let us know about who in your family would like a reunion.
