Things to Do in Florence
Florence is the sixth-oldest non-Native American settlement in Arizona about 45 minutes away from both the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas. Get familiar with the city’s heritage at the McFarland State Historic Park, giving home to one of the first courthouses constructed in Arizona, the Pinal County Historical Society Museum, hosting numerous exhibits and displays unique to Florence, and the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, preserving the Ancient Sonoran Desert People farming community and Great House, constituting the nation’s first archaeological reserve dating from 1892.
In terms of your daily recreational needs, parks, like Padilla Park, Main Street Park, Little League Park, and Heritage Park are perfect choices; whereas, the Sonoran Desert hiking destinations of Poston Butte, Box Canyon, Martinez Canyon, and Coke Ovens are great for the weekends. The Florence Aero Modelers flying site is a must for all thrill-seekers. Annual events, such as the Home Tour of Historic Florence, the Country Thunder U.S.A. music festival, and the world’s oldest children’s rodeo bring further color to a vibrant city life. For a romantic night out, reserve your table at LB Cantina, Old Pueblo Restaurant, Valentino’s Eatery, or Anthem Grille.
