Building that list of gifts for the kids and wondering what to get or which outdoor experience to choose?

Marana has everything you need to make this holiday season unforgettable.

What Styles Are Trending

Whether it’s stylish sneakers from name brands like Converse and Nike, cozy pajamas, or fashionable clothing for the colder temperatures, Marana has it all. Knock out most of your holiday shopping list at stores like Old Navy, Journeys, Nike at the Tucson Premium Outlets, conveniently located just off of I-10 at the Twin Peaks Rd. exit. You can find the full list of retail stores here.

Keep the shopping spree going just south at the Arizona Pavilions, located at Cortaro Rd. & I-10, where you’ll find plenty of options at stores like Kohl’s, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Ross, and more.

Gadgets, Gifts and Games

If you’re looking for fun knick-knacks to fill stockings, Go! Calendars Games and Toys has just what you need. No stocking is complete without some sweet treats, so stop by Mexicandy, Doc Popcorn, or Five Below at the Tucson Premium Outlets for an assortment of candy and goodies.

Give the kids a challenge with a unique board game from Tucson Games and Gadgets, or send them back to school with some team spirit. Sports Treasures at the outlets has everything from jerseys and jackets to lunch boxes and water bottles, all decked out with their favorite sports teams.

Creating The Gift Together

Let their creativity and imagination shine with a family-friendly Hawaii Fluid Art Experience. Spend the day crafting a one-of-a-kind art piece that everyone can take home and display proudly.

One-of-a-kind experience

Want to really sweep them off their feet – quite literally? Book them a peaceful hot-air balloon ride for breathtaking views of Marana.

For kids who love adventure but prefer to keep their feet on the ground, there are plenty of exciting experiences to choose from! BKW Paintball or Disruptive Paintball offer fun, safe, and interactive paintball experiences for the entire family.

Do they dream of racing? Give them the opportunity to get behind the wheel at the Tucson Quarter Midget Association Track, where kids ages 5-16 can take their first steps toward a NASCAR career.

And for those who love playing cowboy, surprise them with a guided horseback ride through the scenic Tortolita Preserve.
