A great resource for the different shows, free shuttles, parking, etc. is www.tgms.org There is an amazing assortment of gems, minerals and fossils that are sure to please everyone. Great tips for attending the shows are- Wear comfortable shoes! You’ll be doing a lot of walking. Shop on weekdays, they are usually less crowded. Take the Shuttles! With the I-10 widening project, traffic will be even more difficult. Be sure to visit the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show website for more information and have fun!
