The Public Gem Show is a Great Draw for All Ages

The many separate shows making up the January and February Tucson Gem and Mineral Show can be confusing to the newcomer. These are shows that would be of special interest to families with children. Keep in mind that the shows can be crowded. School-age children would benefit most from the experience. Small children would need to be kept close to parents.
