Saguaro National Park
Operating Hours & Seasons
 

Operating Hours & Seasons

Both districts of the park are open from 7:00 a.m. to sunset daily.  Both districts of the park offer a visitor center with operating hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, except closed on Christmas Day.

Seasons

Tucson is known for its mild winters and hot summers.  Tucson has two rainy seasons, the summer rainy season, which generally runs from July through August and the winter rainy season, which generally runs from December through January.  Because of our temperate winter climate, the heaviest visitation generally comes between November and April.
