    Enjoyable
    Watched a Braves/Snacks game. Stadium was clean and enjoyable. Had tons of food places. However none took cash. Even when you were sitting in your seat and there were vendors in the aisle you had to pay with a card.
    The parking garage is right next door. There were lots of parking attendants there to help when we arrived. And we had little trouble getting out.
    Very enjoyable even tho my team (Braves) lost. The other people attending were all wonderful. Everyone was polite even if they were rooting for opposing teams.

    Pink Martini was amazing
    Enjoyed an AMAZING evening of Pink Martini & symphony. Sound is excellent, seats a bit snug, but comfy, Pink Martini & China Forbes were (as usual) fabulous.

    A Great Walk Through History
    My wife and I were in Phoenix for the wedding of one of my nieces. We found the Wrigley Mansion on line and thought, "What have we got to lose . . . we can kill some time checking it out." What we discovered was a treasure in time. The mansion is beautiful and our tour guide, Emily, was extremely well versed in the history of the mansion and was also able to provide us some very interesting side anecdotes. The Wrigley Mansion is far more than a place to "kill a little time," it is a wonderful walk through history. We didn't stay for dinner, but the menus looked amazing. Next time!

    Picnic Fun at Dobbins Point!
    Take a short drive and have a picnic at Dobbins Point. It can get crowded, with locals and tourists, so go early to get a parking spot! It's fun to watch the sunset as the colors in the sky come alive, the twinkling city lights, airplanes landing. Experience the vastness of the Valley, and look for Chase Field and the State Farm Stadium in the distance!

    Spiritual
    Just a wonderful experience, from the grounds to the Basilica structure and finally to the beautiful Mass celebrated on Sunday. The choir was incredible. We felt like we were in Vienna. Very moving. The service was flawless and most reverent. Highly recommend a stop here for the faithful.

    Phoenix Gem
    True gem right in Phoenix. The house inside and out is beautiful and well worth a tour. The tour doesn't take too long and can be enjoyed by elementary age to the senior citizen. The history of the house is interesting and the restoration is amazing. Go and see it!

    Beautiful New Arena
    The outside appearance has not changed, but once you step inside, you will be amazed at the newly remodeled Phoenix Suns arena!
    The spectacular scoreboard, the many bars, new eating choices, the bright openness of the space and animated graphics are all great. The Suns are doing great, too! I’ve always believed working environments influences success!
    The views are great now from everywhere. They are taking greatly appreciated safety precautions during the pandemic.

    We finally have cup holders now :) My only disappointment is the end zone lower level seats are still not roomy enough. My knees were against the seat in front and I am an average height woman. Very difficult for anyone to enter the row without everyone having to stand up and even then it would be challenging. If u are tall or overweight you might need to order an aisle. Not a big issue during the pandemic (you have a row to yourself); but when we return to a full house...

    Historical castle with a good past and interesting story
    I would love to have visited all the rooms on the property. Very interesting place with a good history behind it. Ramon was very good at explaining every aspect of the rooms we were visiting. He is a very funny guy and loved his sense of humor. Went back today and whoever was leading the tour group was not good at going over every details of the house. It definitely felt she was rushing us to get through and out. 10$ is a little bit much for getting rushed out of a historical place. I would loved if they took their time and explain everything available. Hopefully we will get to visit every room available

    The farm at South Mountain Breakfast Was Just Okay
    This was my first time at The Farm at South Mountain. My daughter and granddaughter went there for brunch on a Saturday. The walk from the parking lot to the breakfast/brunch area was a long walk through the farm. The weather was nice that day but I wouldn’t want to walk that far during the summer months. Once we reached the breakfast/brunch area we had to stand in a long line to order our food. Since outdoor seating was limited, my granddaughter and I found a table while my daughter stood in line. It took about 45 minutes to finally order our food and about 20 minutes to get our food. We ordered the French toast and pork omelette, both were tasty, but not worth the wait time or money. The food bill was expensive and they wanted a tip! which was hard to believe since we stood in line and had to pick up our own food and find our own place to sit! It was an experience but probably won’t go back.

    Excellent tributes to the fallen. Our children need to see this and understand why it is here.
    Lovely memorials to those who lost their lives serving their country. Sad, though, to see so few people there.

    We were visiting from the UK and were particularly moved by the memorial to those who lost their lives on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbour.

    Those men may not have seen action, but their loss was the trigger for the USA to join the fight for freedom from facism. We Europeans owe those men a huge debt of gratitude. Excellent memorials such as this act as a permanent reminder of the sacrifice of those who have gone before and the importance of standing up for freedom and democracy.

    Go see this but you need to book a tour.
    Lots pf reviews on here from people just showing up. It is not a museum No no ,no you need to sign up for a tour. You cannot just show up and go in there. Try again, and sign up for the tour. Pretty amazing view and architecture wonder from a master. The view of the grounds is worth the price of admission alone.

    A Castle in a Desert?
    At long last we were able to tour Tovrea Castle and it was well worth the wait. I read about Tovrea a few years ago and was fascinated by the story and the idea of a castle in the middle of a desert. This is not a castle in the usual sense of the word but it was inspired by traditional European castles. The new lottery system of getting tickets should help let people visit this unique place. The cactus garden and grounds are a treat and the interior of the building is a look back into the mid 1900s. If you finf yourself in the Phoenix area. schedule a few hours to visit, but beware. This is open by reservation only.

    Stumbled Across
    I stumbled across the Heritage Square area while walking back to my hotel and I am so glad I did. It was later in the evening so everything was closed, but it was still nice to see!

    Nice Little Park
    Great place to see a spring game. Park is small and very intimate making for good views of the field. Typical, but good, ballpark food. Parking was adequate but a little slow getting into the lots. Go early
