Yep, both of those are memorable and well worth the trip (also Biosphere 2 if you're in the area ;P)
I grew up in Tucson, and my dad was stationed at Davis-Monthan so I'm pretty familiar with the AMARC. The boneyard is a remarkable sight. A major road (Kolb) even passes through it, and you can see the planes on both sides! There's a lot of neat stuff sitting out there like B1 bombers and those little drones they'd attach to SR-71s (I guess?)

And if you’re into telescopes Kitt Peak nearby is a must, and check out the Mirror Lab at the university, where they make giant telescope mirrors.
