Arizona offers plenty of things to do for the traveler, weekend warrior, or local looking for a new adventure. Whether you use a tour company or explore on your own, there are plenty of attractions, recreational opportunities, scenic drives, sightseeing tours, and other fun adventures to be had.
Queen Mine Tour
Outfitted in hard hat, miner’s headlamp and a yellow slicker, thousands of Bisbee visitors descend into the Queen Mine Tour each year—heading underground and back in time. Tour guides, retired Phelps Dodge employees, lead the group 1,500 feet into the mine and recount mining days, techniques, dangers and drama. Adding a personal touch, the miner-turned-tour guides help visitors experience what it was like to work underground.
Five tours depart each day, seven days a week, from the Queen Mine Tour Building, located immediately south of Old Bisbee’s business district, off the U.S. 80 interchange.
