Top 50 things to do and attractions in Tempe

My sister/best friend of 34 years set out on the journey today. It was definitely majestic even with all the chatter that was going. Word to the wise if you go for meditation be sure to find a spot away from folks. That was definitely the only downfall of the day.

This park is definitely always wonderful in nature and peace! It’s an easier park to travel through since your agility level may be beginner yet it’s fun and always memorable. It’s a clean park and a safe one as well. The sunset is my favorite, definitely have been here for 15+ times, and recommend this place to lots of people!

This was much needed stop and reflect location. Being out with nature when it was not too hot or cold. Such beautiful views and area. I loved that there were bikers and walkers on the same trails.

This is a beautiful, picturesque park with a lot of different amenities! The walking trails on the mountain are easy to do and breathtaking, but even the more common features are in excellent shape! We have utilized the archery range many times, and it’s a neat addition to the area. You won’t be disappointed if you visit!

Super chill with easy trails to walk around and get some nice desert views right next to the city. The Hole in the rock is a fun quick 2 min climb and perfect to catch a sunset or some photos. Stop by if you’re in Phoenix.

Absolutely gorgeous park! Plenty of spots to sit and chill with breathtaking views of the mountains. The grounds are clean and well maintained. There are plenty of walking and biking paths, which is nice for a bit of solitude even when other people are there. There are picnic areas, water fountains, and restrooms as well. The famous hole in the rock formation overlooks the park, however it was slightly crowded when I went so I chose not to climb it. It was still pretty cool to see! Good place to kick back and enjoy some fresh air. Parking is easy and close by to everything.

This was magical, coming from Florida. Did a few of the small loop trails and climb to hole in the rock. First time coming out west can only imagine what larger parks would feel like.

I’d give this place 10 stars if I could! The Desert Botanical Garden is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. Every trail and exhibit is thoughtfully designed, and you can really see the care that goes into keeping everything in top shape. The staff were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable; they were happy to answer questions and share insights about the plants and desert landscape. It’s such a peaceful and inspiring place to explore, whether you’re a local or just visiting. There’s also a restaurant on site that feels like fine dining without being stuffy. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxing, and they cater to a wide range of dietary needs. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot in Phoenix.

The botanical garden is a must visit. The trails are no lesser than any state park/national park. The gathering tours were really informative. The staff is friendly. Gift store is so beautiful. There are water stations every now and there. Hydration is not all a problem. Loved watching butterflies and hummingbirds in the butterflies trail. Saguaros are unique.

Must experience. Absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate to arrive after the monsoonal rains. Everything was green and blooming. We arrived a little before sunset, so we're able to see the gardens during the day, at sunset with a beautiful Arizona sky, and the gardens lit at night. The Botanical garden is open till 9:00 pm. If you have a layover at Phoenix Airport, the gardens aren't very far away. I would encourage anyone younger old to take time to visit.

I was not sure if I would like this, but I ended up loving it. It can be a bit of a walk, but I went in Nov and it was not overwhelmingly hot, but still warm. I enjoyed the cactus and plants so much, they bloom beautifully. Of course they have a lovely butterfly exhibit so worth going to. The shop and restaurant was not to bad, slightly pricey, still nice though. I had a refreshing margarita. I would recommending giving this place a visit, was most enjoyable.

The Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix is absolutely incredible! I was blown away by the breathtaking views—towering saguaros and colorful cacti create this surreal, almost magical desert landscape. There are so many cool cactuses, from spiky barrels to funky agaves, and I loved wandering the shaded trails snapping photos. It’s super peaceful, like a total escape from the city, with hummingbirds zipping around adding to the calm. The paths are easy to navigate, and the sunset glow on the red buttes was unreal. It’s about $40 to enter, but worth every penny for the curated beauty. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves nature or just wants a chill, inspiring outing. Bring water if it’s warm, and go early for fewer crowds. I’m already excited to come back!

I love this place! It makes me happy. It gives me time to reflect and regain focus on life. We all have a happy place we go to recharge. This is one of many places I go to feel a sense of peace. I love nature, so this is a great place to visit. It’s also a learning experience as well. Many different types of plants and cactuses. They also have special events. A lot of fun stuff. I enjoy going when it’s cooler out. I make it a me day. Enjoy! 😊

Desert Botanical Garden is a fantastic place to visit. There are so many varieties of desert plants, and the massive cactuses are especially impressive. The butterfly garden is also great, with lots of different species to see. If you’re visiting on a hot day, make sure to stay hydrated—thankfully, there are water stations throughout the grounds. The staff are friendly and there’s tons of helpful information about Arizona’s incredible cacti. The entry fee is a bit pricey, but for a one-time visit, it’s worth it.

• Review Tempe Town Lake – Endless Fun in the Sun! Tempe Town Lake is the ultimate outdoor playground! Whether you’re renting a scooter, biking, rollerblading, skating, running, or just taking a relaxing walk, there’s something for everyone. You can even rent a boat or a quirky little duck pontoon and spend the whole day out on the water. We always have a blast here and love that it feels clean, safe, and family-friendly. Highly recommend for a sunny day of adventure or a peaceful lakeside stroll. #TempeTownLake #ArizonaFun #Scooters #Siggy_E 💋

Tempe Town Lake is very safe for walkers and runners alike. Please be mindful of the bikers in the area, because there are plenty. The lake is spread out, so you can get your steps/miles in easily. It’s even safe in the evenings, but use proper discretion when alone. There’s also plenty of restaurants and shopping only .25 miles away. Lots of business and lodging.

My favorite bike ride destination.

Tempe town lake is ok, they have rental paddle boats and you can also bring your own board. Swimming is not allowed. Seen a lot of people fishing but didn't see anyone catch anything. On the weekends the atmosphere changes and a lot of people, families, children etc walk around the park and enjoy the views by the water. Be aware that some shady business may be going on.

Fresh clear water, electric boats,views that tantalize the eyes 👀 That's what Tempe Town Lake area offers.Shops, restaurants, magnificent buildings ,folk's with kids and pups.Ingredeance for your greatest holiday. Tempe Town Lakes Rocks.

We went this evening for a doughnut boat ride and had a good time. It was hot but then it got a little cooler the sun went down some and we enjoyed the sunset. It was beautiful! The boat was quite slow but very pleasant. The cost was $140 for an hour. $160 after tax. It fits 10 people. We brought snacks and drinks but no alcohol is allowed.

This is such a fun place to go. Especially during the pandemic. Being stuck in our homes for so long it's a nice place to go and get some excersie. Today was a perfect day to go walking. There were a ton of people riding bikes. Lots of families there with canopy's and having picnics. I love that you are able to rent scooters, the family peddle carts. Fair prices for paddle boats, all different kinds. I can't wait to go back and do more stuff there. Also there is A mountain that people hikes on in the same area. Lots of things to keep someone or a family busy.

Great experience! Front row 1st balcony. Autographs and pics with the cast after the show. Celebrating our daughter surviving her freshman year of college!!

I'm going to go ahead and give this 5 stars, not necessarily because it's deserving, but because I want it to continue to stay the before that it is. Always great staff, wonderful ambience and architecture, parking has become a cluster, and the seats really are cramped. Been to a few productions here, lovely acoustics too.

Incredible venue. Acoustics great & every seat has great view of stage. Volunteers extremely helpful. Catch any show you will not be disappointed. We have seen, Tina, Zagged Little Pill & now & Juilet. Have 2 more shows scheduled can't wait. Great Broadway performances ever time.

This is a review for & Juliet, and Suffs not for the venue. The venue is great and if you go early enough, you can get good parking. But even if you can’t there’s free parking just down the block at the garage. There’s also drinks and food you can order. But be aware of the clear bag policy! We bought season tickets and were very excited to see new musicals every month. The first 2 plays we saw were awful! Suffs is very boring. And Juliet was roll my eyes at “not more woke plays”. Both plays made me wonder if this is where this whole season is heading, I sure hope not. Suffs was about the suffragette movement so I knew it would have feminist flavour to it but the entire storyline was so boring and the songs were dull. But I had great hopes for Juliet. It is a play within a play with Shakespeare’s wife having a hand in changing the ending of the tragic tale of the star crossed lovers. It pokes fun at some of the ridiculousness of how they fell in love and ended their lives in 4 days! But as soon as we were introduced to Juliet’s best friend, I knew this was going to go down as another woke play. No original songs, just pop songs woven together to try to make a story. Some parts were a tad humorous but only because the entire play was so cringe and cliche that you had to cling to some of the small bits of humour. We have several more shows to go to and I really hope it gets better from here.

I've seen several performances/shows at Gammage Auditorium, and I love this venue. One of my favorite shows that came to Gammage with a stellar performance was Hamilton. And if you're not a fan of traditional Broadway show...never fear...you'll discover a wide variety of shows and performances. We've also gone to Gammage to see The Blue Man Group, The Adams Family, Flashdance, Annie, Wicked, and so many more. Take a peek at what's coming and find something amazing to add to your calendar.

I’ve always love going to see shows at Gammage. It’s a nice venue. Great shows, nice staff, good drinks & snacks plus the seats have plenty of leg room. I’m tall plus wear heels and I have enough room to cross my legs and sit comfortably. We saw Moulin Rouge this time and it was fantastic. Life of Pi the last time, which was amazing.

Loved the experience! The seats were comfortable, and I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. Great refreshments and snacks before the show and during intermission.

Excellent place for a relaxation. Right from shopping to experiences, restaurants shows and simply walking strolling around. It offers a great sprawling and apple ground for window shopping. Great eateries like panera. First line, as you wish, many stores bed and bath body works. Barns and noble, I think this place is simply amazing. A visit when in Arizona to tempey marketplace is an excellent choice. They light up in the evening, live music and simply a very, very relaxed way to stroll around and let your hair down ample parking, great toilet facilities, grey seating areas. I think everything is only great

Tempe Marketplace is a cool spot right in the heart of Tempe. You’ll find everything from quick bites at fast food restaurants to sit-down fine dining. There’s plenty of entertainment too—Dave & Buster’s, axe throwing, a movie theater, and more. It’s an outdoor mall with great stores like Ross, Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, H&M, and many others. Plus, there’s plenty of parking, which makes visiting super convenient.

Really walkable plaza with lots of outdoor seating . Great place to meet a friend or shoo solo . Many outdoor events are hosted here . I’d definitely come back . Parking was a breeze .

Nice place. I enjoyed some from yo while sitting in the shade. There are several nice restaurants to either grab a nosh or full meal and adult beverage. The splash pad was a hit for the kids. Loved to hear them laugh as they had fun chasing the water. Barnes and Noble has a nice selection. I loved the plants in the middle of the courtyards.

An enjoyable time walking and browsing the shops. Great places to eat. The misters are great for keeping you cool.

Love the layout of the vendor tables at the marketplace event last weekend. However, there should be no pets allowed by the vendors or customers. It's a tight space. The vendor who was doing tooth gems had two large mastiffs and could barely hold them. That's also unsanitary considering she is working inside of mouths. Just a thought. Back to it... Tempe Marketplace is lovely overall and has much you explore/do. I always have a great time when I go there.

Amazing!!!! So happy everyone is covered in shade! 96% of the vendors are very friendly and willing to help out someone. Not to mention the music 🎶🎵🎶 truly beautiful!!! My partner and I enjoyed dancing to them.

This small museum is currently exhibiting Tempe's Old West history, and I found it very interesting to read about how quickly the town changed and spread. Included in the exhibit are pieces of clothing, tools, and toys from this boomtown era. The rest of the museum has displays from an ethnic standpoint to the movie industry to sustainability in the desert to ASU history. One corner has a truck, books, and costumes so that kids can get hands-on. Admission is free, and the museum shop has lots of unique gift items. Bonus: the Tempe Public Library is right next door

This was a wonderful place. There is so much to see that I can't wait to go back. The staff are great people and full of helpful knowledge. Excellent nearby parking. Museum is FREE, FREE, FREE as of 6/21/2025.

Nice place to visit. Surrounded by homeless people smoking weed. City museums are always a good choice to learn the history if the city you're visiting or leaving in.

They have so many events. The exhibits are well thought out and presented. I visited for dia de los muertos and it was an awesome presentation. Download the Meetup app to stay up on all the events that they have.

A really small, but enjoyable history museum focusing on the founding and history of Tempe. Admission is free and there is a lot of information to read and learn, as well as interactive exhibits for the younger visitors. Parking is also plentiful and close by. It is very small, as mentioned, so I left with many unanswered questions, but I can’t complain too much considering it’s free admission. However, if there was a charge to enter I don’t feel it would be worth it.

This small museum has a cool exhibit on Tempe's Old West days, with old clothes, tools, and toys that show how fast the town grew. The rest of the museum covers everything from culture and film to desert living and ASU history, with fun interactive stuff for kids, free admission, and a gift shop full of unique finds.

Warm staff ready to answer questions. The exhibits offer easily digestible information about Tempe. There's a children's play area with interactive toys. Check out the gift shop you may find something unique.

Great kid-friendly aquarium at Arizona Mills Mall! The price is just right for the size of the Aquarium. It is fun to see the variety of aqua life in an easy-to-follow floor plan. It was fun to see the turtles and tank with stingrays. I loved the bubble like viewing areas for little kids. The tour ends with a small but nice gift shop.

SEA LIFE Aquarium is such a fun and beautiful experience! The tunnel tank with sharks and rays is breathtaking, and the touch tanks and interactive displays make it hands-on for all ages. Everywhere you turn there are great photo opportunities — from seahorses to schooling fish. The exhibits are well kept, staff are friendly, and the whole place is easy to enjoy at your own pace. A perfect mix of education, visuals, and interactive fun!

We’ve always enjoyed our visits to SEA LIFE Arizona! The aquarium is beautifully done, and my daughter especially loves the scavenger hunt and all the fun little viewing areas and photo spots throughout. It’s a great family activity, and the exhibits are engaging and well cared for. That said, the prices do feel a bit high for the length of the visit. We’ve gone three or four times over the past couple of years, and while it’s always a good experience, the cost may keep us from visiting as often in the future.

My daughter and I came as she in in college here and We had fun. It was a good time. Blew me away it was in a mall like experience but I would absolutely go again. Good time.

Amazing experience, especially for a first-time aquarium for my partner. We bought the behind the scenes tickets in advance and Aj was a wonderful guide, and he was an absolute delight to talk to Massive reccomendation for adults and kids alike to visit this place! Especially if you're from out of town, on a budget, and on a time crunch! It's worth it, and should I visit Arizona again I might have to take a peek at their other exhibits!

Visiting the Sea Life aquarium with my family was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by vibrant displays of marine life that captivated both the kids and adults. The variety of sea creatures was impressive, with everything from colorful tropical fish to majestic sharks swimming overhead in the underwater tunnel. The interactive exhibits were a highlight for the kids, allowing them to touch starfish and learn about different species in a fun, engaging way. We also enjoyed the informative talks from the staff, who shared fascinating facts about the animals and their habitats. The atmosphere was lively, and it was wonderful to see everyone, including my family, so excited about the wonders of the ocean. Overall, the Sea Life aquarium made for a memorable family outing. It was both educational and entertaining, and we left with a greater appreciation for marine life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day out with family!

Beautiful sea life, nice place, interesting, even it's not big. We met Reilly who knows a lot and told us interesting facts. Had a good time there. Keep doing your work and take good care of the sea life! Special thanks to Reilly!

The ASU Art Museum is free to the public and open Wednesday thru Sunday. Parking is complimentary right in front of the museum at the Southeast corner of Mill and 10th St. The building itself is just as intriguing and unique as the art. Check in at the front desk for a paper guide, snacks, and a few souvenirs. Check out their website to see which exhibits are currently up and any special events. The museum has a cool moody vibe, and the different exhibits were interesting. The U-shape of the building makes it an easy wall to not miss anything. We turned it into a date day by walking the museum, then checking out campus shops, and finishing with a cocktail in a rooftop bar overlooking the city.

All the exhibitions are so unique and interesting We love our tour at the art museum, we visit all the rooms and all had great stuff I have my favorites, and best of all we had fun.

I hope this continues to be free, because everyone needs to see this museum! It is absolutely stunning with the content being very relevant to today's world

Loved the exhibit. Love the architecture. Very helpful staff

Defiently an amazing art gallery. Was suprised with some of the art they had from asia. Location was very quite and not overly crowded. Will be returning next time the update the exhibits. Was able to make it through in about an hour to an hour and half.

My wife and I had not been on a college campus for a number of years. Upon entering the ASU art museum it was saddening to see what was represented there! The brochure about the museum stated it was about social justice and in the five galleries we did not see any real art. We saw something that was very angry and a lot of open space. It was sad to see that such a beautiful building is wasted on so little content. Save yourself some time. Nothing redeeming for the hard or soul in this building.

Small university museum. There are about 5 galleries in there. Free admission. The building is nice, with unique architecture. Showing more identity kind of exhibits - like Indian tribes, or Mexican heritage. The student staff is super nice. Great place to just chill and cozy up in the heat of Phoenix

The perfect place for adults,kids and pets. Whether you want a workout or just a romantic walk by the lake this is the place to go to. They offer day activities as well as beautiful views at night. In this AZ heat take advantage of the late hours. Open until midnight.

Always lots to see and plenty of views. I enjoy seeing all the active people on and by the Salt River. We were surprised today by the 9/11 tribute.

Beautiful atmosphere. Just worth it. Parking is about 2$ with some change for an hr. Many things to do

Lived here for about 13 years & never have gone down to the Tempe Town Lake to take advantage of all the wonderful rentals. However, today I did. Sooo much fun. Rented Paddle boat for an hour, but didn't use all the time. The AZ sun can be brutal even when temps aren't 3 digit. The Lake has long hours so perhaps a sunset ride would be a little better. Either way, Tempe Town Lake is a nice little jewel in the desert.

Fun place to go with the family and pets. Great open spaces, beautiful views, and a busy area. Rent a boat, or ride a scooter for a fun adventure!

Absolutely gorgeous park and walk/bike trail. Start at Tempe Center for the arts and see the meeting of nature and technology at the Tempe Lake Dam ... So surreal!!

Gorgeous, well-kept walkway. Plenty of light, busy for how late we went. It felt welcoming.

Wow, one of the most chill malls i have visited. It has many stores for younger audiences and a great selection of boutiques for the older generations. There is a movie theater, sea world, and Legoland. There is a huge food court and very clean. I appreciate the service

I’ve been to Arizona Mills a few times — it’s a nice mix of outlet and regular stores. The food hall is pretty decent, and it’s connected to LEGOLAND and a movie theater, which makes it a fun spot to hang out. There’s also plenty of parking, which is a plus!

Good area for shopping centre complete with Cinemas,Lego store and Sealife aquarium we like visit here for bring our kids for summer break watching cinema and play carousel with take indoor train inside this shopping mall

The mall is HUGE and they have not just the mall stuff you find everywhere, but cool experience and adventure spots for the kids. There's some crazy bubble experience spot, a carousel in the food court, LegoLand, SeaLife Aquarium, and Rainforest Cafe among others. Definitely worth a walk through. However, we were there during a crazy rainstorm and it turns out half the skylights in the food court literally leak water like they were open to the sky. I mean they had to shut half the court down and turn off the carousel due to flooding. But rain in the desert is rare. So check it out on a hot day.

Arrived from Los Angeles to visit Legoland Discovery Phoenix AZ, kiddos had a wonderful experience... plenty to see and activities with Legos

This mall is incredible! It has an aquarium, Legoland, movie theater, and many more! I wish I had more time to explore it but I couldn't due to my schedule on that day. I see things for those who loves sports, anime, stationary, clothes, shoes, etc. Check it out if you have not.

The shopping experience at this place is quite remarkable. The crowd is sizable, and there is a wide variety of both products and stores. The discounts offered are substantial, making it an attractive destination for shoppers. The quality of the merchandise falls within the average range, making it a good choice for purchasing everyday clothing items. The food options are diverse, with numerous storefronts to choose from. Interestingly, there's even a pet store selling dogs. Moreover, the establishment boasts additional attractions, such as a gaming arcade, a movie theater, and a Lego center, making it a comprehensive destination for entertainment and leisure. The inclusion of a small-scale aquarium and a Lego center adds a unique touch to the overall experience, making it a well-rounded destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Walking many main campus’s across the US including many large state institutions I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the main campus was via foot on a Sunday afternoon. I can’t speak for the academics or campus life but it had a lot to offer and felt unique, inviting and progressive academically. Hard to rate it overall but as a campus walk I walked away with a good impression of ASU.

Very modern looking school located downtown Phoenix. Several large building in the campus. Seem to have gotten donation for Walter Cronkite school of journalism.

Home of one of the largest public universities in United States, the major campus of Arizona State University in Tempe covers roughly a square mile with the buildings set in almost like botanical garden.

Go Devils! Class of 1982. Beautiful university. The grounds and the buildings are all unique.

ASU completely upgraded their Game Day App....which meant completely starting over with the new app. My football tickets didn't show up, coupled with the fact we wanted to put all our accounts under one name. We seen our athletic representative Zack, who always gets things done for us. Used a different method which was just as easy to find and have access to football tickets, got all our accounts together now, paid for wrestling season tickets, so now we're good for this academic year. "It's all FORKS UP!"

Awesome location to learn Aerospace Engineering. Sadly didn't work out for me but would 100% recommend if you get the chance. 1 star was knocked off because of just how expensive this school is. unless your doing something that isn't taught anywhere else with decent reviews it would be in the best interest to go elsewhere.

Very well organized Graduationat the Desert Financial Center. Traffic was heavy, but they got us parked easy and quickly and close to the venue. The campus is clean and safe. Very happy with our experience.

Beautiful Stadium and great facilities. It is very expensive prices, especially for Spring Training games. Not much for shade on a sunny afternoon, choose your seat wisely. $16 tall cans.

Got the chance to play her in a men’s league tournament, and it was awesome. The outfield is massive, but that’s expected when you’re on a Major League field. Would’ve been even cooler if we had clubhouse access, but overall the experience was great. The field is in top shape—definitely worth coming back to play on again.

Spring training baseball stadium and practice fields for the Angels. They do a good job keeping them in good shape. Play there often.

Nice stadium. Very organized with Friendly staff!

I caught a MLB Spring Training game here in February. It was a pretty nice little ballpark. I just wish everything wasn’t so expensive. $46 per seat, $10 for parking, $15 per beer, etc.. but I guess there are always other options. The stadium was clean and the employees were polite.

It's beautiful, right when you walk in they also had margarita samples and icy samples. Something small for the adults and kids. Just the seating is really tight and hard to get out.

My husband plays MSBL every year and sometimes gets this stadium to play in. We have also watched the Angels play here. Great stadium!

Mill Avenue is a street in the city of Tempe, AZ that runs north/south about four city blocks long. But, the most infamous section is the northern terminus that stretches two blocks from University Drive north towards the Salt River where the area is dominated by bars, chain and local restaurants, movie theaters, shops and everything in between. Part of the street also borders Arizona State University to the west, so simply put, it's a fun, young, energetic, happening spot in town. When I lived in Mesa back in '95/'96, I was still too young to drink but we'd cruise through on the weekends via automobile, lol. Enter present day, my spouse and I were in the city overnight after a weeklong vacay in Puerto Vallarta. Wanting to see the area again and show it to my spouse, we made a special Uber trip from our hotel in Phoenix to Mill Ave. to take in the sights and have cocktails before dinner back in the city. It wasn't as hopping as I remembered, but was still lively nonetheless and felt very safe. Numerous parking areas are peppered throughout the area. We ended up at Fat Tuesday where we had amazing cocktails and apps! OVERALL: Entertaining, lots of dining choices, great nightlife.

There are always so many fun places to shop and events to attend. Check this place out during the day and again at night for a different vibe. An easy walk and loads of places to eat and check out. It reminds me of something you'd find back east as far as the old brick buildings and unique places.

Let's be honest, there was a time when Mill Avenue was the place to go in the valley, now there are so many other great options as well. I can't even guess how many of the locations on Mill avenue are currently vacant, but it's a lot. It seems like all of the things that would make Mill Avenue great. The Downtown Tempe Authority won't allow them to do.

Very nice experience and great selection of different places to eat and enjoy a nice drink 🍸 🍸 🍸and a great transit system

A fun little shopping center on Mill Avenue that has its own charm. My only issue with it is that a lot of the shops have very weird hours, meaning that you have to go at a very specific time of day to ensure that they might be open.

I went to the art fair this past weekend in Downtown Tempe. I was surprised at the number of vendors. Alot of the art was top notch, and my favorite was this nice older couple (older than me LOL!), who explained how their tye dye process works and one of my favorites was an acoustical guitar on like a small Persian rug size. Awesome! ☯️

I wonder if many people walk right by the entrance on their jaunt down Mill Ave and don't realize the eclectic shopping experience being missed out on. I highlighted the entrance in green in the photo from the other side of Mill Ave. It's a little North of the NW corner of Mill and 5th St. As an aside, I used to get inexpensive accessories in a shop that was here in 1988 on the second floor.

I'm so glad I came here today. I'm a huge pumpkin beer fan, and I just had the best one! I enjoyed the Double Pumpkin Barrel Aged Porter. Had a very deep porter flavor, with slight sweetness of pumpkin and whiskey. I also had the fish and sweet potato fries. They were excellent. My server Delaney was fantastic. Very good attitude and just wonderful service. I'm so glad that I stopped by here.

A fantastic spot to kick back and chill with friends, offering a lively atmosphere and lovely hospitality. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home. Their pepperoni pizza is an absolute standout—bursting with flavor! With a solid selection of brews, there’s something for every beer lover. Plenty of street parking and indoor seating make it super convenient, and with screens everywhere, it’s a prime spot to catch the game. Highly recommend!

We came here at 7:55pm to learn they have happy hour at 8:00! Great! I had the Bad Birdie ( too sweet for me) and the Wow. We had nachos, crab cakes, and AZ chicken roll. Skip the chicken roll it was boring. The nachos were great and salmon cakes good. Good sauce with crab cakes. We sat outside which was nice. They have fun Halloween decorations. Lots of parking.

Absolutely love this place!!! Been coming here for years now. The drinks AND food are both tremendous (can't say the same about other breweries in the valley). Love the atmosphere and the staff is always so friendly, if you're in the area try this place! (Try a peach beer) 10/10!

Great place to catch a Vikings game, but be ready to wait for service on a busy day. Holy wow! Love the mimosa bucket - can't beat the deal. Food is equally yummy.

We are visiting Phoenix from the UK and thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the restaurant. All the staff were so friendly, especially our waitress who was brilliant. The atmosphere is really good fun and there is a gift shop too. The food arrived really quickly and was of fantastic quality.

Great place to hang out with friends. Would definitely visit again. Waitress was very friendly and the food was tasty.

The Phoenix Zoo is such a fun place to visit! Definitely bring good walking shoes — there’s plenty to see and explore. We went in December, and the weather was perfect, though we did need light jackets. We especially loved seeing the lion, and the ZooLights experience was an absolute blast. A great place for families or anyone who loves animals!

It is a good size and very accessible with adult scooters, kid and adult animal themed scooters, and stroller rentals. The zoo membership was worth it since it pays for itself in about 2 visits. The cafe is decent and if you come on less busy days or less peak hours, it is really peaceful and serene with lots of areas to sit. The animal variety is pretty good for being in the desert and it even has a Siberian Amur tiger, one of the most expensive zoo animals and endangered big cats, that not even the San Diego Zoo has.

Had a great time at the Phoenix Zoo! The animals seem well taken care of. Enclosures are fairly large and well kept. There are animal ambassadors at most of the areas that are very informative and knowledgeable. They were able to answer all our questions and some were quite funny. They have the only open walk through attraction with squirrel monkeys in the United States, which is in my opinion a must see for any visitor to the zoo. Also you can feed giraffes, ride a camel or play in the water park. Their is something for everyone. Overall my experience was enjoyable and I recommend if your are in Phoenix to add a stop at the zoo!

We recently went here for zoo lights as part of an event from work, and it was beautiful. We have never been here for this, but now that we have, we enjoyed it very much. All of the lights and the details that they did to make all of it happen was worth it. I didn't take many pictures as I was enjoying my self that I forgot.. but it is beautiful and a really great experience. The animals are sleeping so you dont really see them. The trails are closed to some areas, but they make the animals come to life with, all the lights! There was only a few things open for snacks and drinks, and they had long lines so I guess bring yoir drinks and snacks with you? Otherwise is a really great experience for everyone!

We had a wonderful time at the Phoenix Zoo! The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. For being in the desert, there was plenty of shade, which made walking around very comfortable even on a warm day. There were lots of drink stations and food options throughout the zoo, so it was easy to grab a refreshment or snack without having to go far. The layout was easy to follow with maps and signs everywhere, which made exploring stress-free and enjoyable. The giraffe area was absolutely huge, and we loved the elevated platform walkway that connects exhibits that gives a unique view of the animals below. Overall, the Phoenix Zoo is a fun, family-friendly place that clearly takes pride in both guest experience and animal care.

There really were marshmallows for roasting! Amazing seeing all of the fun cars inside the zoo! There were 6, or maybe even 7 of them! Thank you for your very kind support of HopeKids everyone! #HopeKids 🌞 #ShareHope 🌻 #SuperFastRacing 🚙

We had an absolutely phenomenal day at the Phoenix Zoo, and I can't recommend it enough as a perfect way for kids to spend a couple of hours walking around and getting up close with wildlife. Our visit today was exceptional because the animals were incredibly active! Sometimes you walk past exhibits and the animals are sleeping, but not today. We saw so much lively action: • Monkey Business: The monkeys were putting on quite a show, swinging and playing all over their habitat. It was non-stop entertainment! • A Spiky Surprise: one porcupine was wide awake and busy, which was a real treat to see. Hehe did a little of dance for us, and it will be a memorable porcupine dance experience for us to keep in our family. Beyond the great animal viewing, we loved that there were a couple of animal encounters happening, which added an extra layer of engagement for the little ones. We also took the carousel ride, camel ride and stingray feeding. It truly was an awesome day at the zoo. For families looking to make a whole outing of it, the Phoenix Zoo is great. We were smart and brought our lunch, which made the midday break easy and relaxing. And of course, on a warm day, the splash pad was the perfect grand finale to cool off and burn the last bit of energy before heading home. If you're looking for an engaging, manageable, and exciting outdoor activity for your kids, the Phoenix Zoo is a winner. Especially if you catch the animals on an active day like we did, it's a memorable experience!

The Halloween night out is awesome here. We had a good time as a lot of people were strolling that area that night. Lots of eateries as well to have a good Halloween night. The mills avenue is bustling with a crowd of crazy costume wearing people that night.

The parade and ceremony for the lighting of the Christmas tree were enchanting! There are a ton of lovely floats and amiable folks!

Downtown Tempe is beautiful and I enjoyed looking at the architecture of the various buildings. There are plenty of hotels and eating options, so this was a good choice when I visited the greater Phoenix area. The area appears to be fairly walkable but we did see several homeless people and panhandlers.

The Christmas Tree lighting Ceremony and Parade was magical! So many beautiful floats and lots of friendly people!

I love it. Just like every where else you have to be careful. Lots of street parking. Nice restaurants, shopping etc..

Downtown Tempe had alot of different attractions / activities for children and or adults of all ages. Different restaurants and shopping attractions as well.

Love it.. So much to do and see ..What a wonderful city.. Great views, restaurants and parks, recreation and friendly atmosphere and the people are great as well!!! 🥂🌆🏜️ 💪😎👍

I do not have many pictures of food. We came with a big group for drinks. But the wings were AMAZING! And so was my cosmo! This place is huuuge! And very nice for large groups. Although we were not the only group of over 20 ppl here the server took very good care of us. Everyone here is very nice. My husband misplaced his eyeglasses and they called when we got back home to follow up. Leaving a review because the name of the restaurant was not enticing to me, we were in town for a week and I went everywhere else but here because I thought it wasn’t going to be good and I regret it. I will definitely come back and totally recommend this place.

Category: Fine food. For some reason, dining at the Culinary Dropout always feels like a party. Though we have enjoyed some of the other Phoenix/Scottsdale locations, this was the first time we dropped into the Tempe Dropout. We had matinee tix to a show at the Arizona Theatre Company, which is only a short walk away, so we made a lunch rez and sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders. True to form, it felt like a party. Both the dining room side and the open-air Yard side were moderately busy this beautiful Sunday afternoon in early November. The place is really spacious, with high steel-beamed ceilings, exposed ductwork, and skylights. Ceiling heaters make the Yard side usable even in cooler weather. A small stage hosts musicians on Friday and Saturday nights. High-top tables abound, and the Yard has large couch pits for hosting groups. Light fixtures that remind me of early satellites hang randomly. And of course there are TVs. I didn’t want to fall asleep at the theater so I ordered an Athletic non-alcoholic beer, which complemented the excellent deviled eggs and French dip that we shared. I substituted the housemade potato chips for fries, as I always do. They are crispy and golden and perfect. I’m SO glad they brought them back to the menu. They are the best I have found in Phoenix/Scottsdale and one of the main reasons — if not the top reason — we drop in at the Dropouts. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

I've heard of this place by a friend and family member and I am not disappointed. The food was flavorful and fresh. I loved the steak frites and the pretzel bites with the fondue. Pretzels were soft and light on salt. The staff is friendly. Our waitress was very informative. The place is spacious and great atmosphere. I would come back ♥︎ thank you.

Service was pretty good. The food was spectacular! Atmosphere was really nice and very open. Indoor and outdoor dining with games and a live band!

We only stopped in for drinks and a few snacks, but wow—Culinary Dropout in Tempe did not disappoint! The pretzel bites were soft, warm, and perfectly salty, and that cheese sauce? Totally addictive. We also tried the roasted bread and it was unreal—crusty, buttery, and full of flavor. Drinks were on point, the vibe was relaxed but lively, and the service was super friendly. If the small bites were this good, we can’t wait to come back for a full meal. Highly recommend!

Stopped by while I was in PHX for a business trip. Had a great time. Food was good, our server was great. I will have to swing by again next time I’m in town.

This is where we decided to tailgate before the ASU game, and it couldn’t have been better! 🎉 Culinary Dropout in Tempe’s Farmer Arts District has it all — live music, fun games, plenty of TVs for pre-game hype, and awesome seating options, including private dining areas. The food was spectacular! I had the best salmon, and my friend’s steak frites was incredible. Add in craft cocktails, top-notch service, and an unbeatable vibe, and you’ve got the ultimate spot to kick off game day or enjoy a fun night out in Tempe. #ASU #ForksUp #GameDayVibes #TailgateTime #GoDevils #TempeEats #FarmerArtsDistrict #CulinaryDropout #TempeVibes #SteakFrites #SeafoodLovers #CraftCocktails #FoodieFavorites

Plenty of pay to park spots. You can park here and walk all of downtown easily. The butte is a short vertical hike and will definitely get your heart rate going. Bring water and wear proper shoes that don't slip. There are some parts that are loose rocks. You'll do some rock scrambling to sit at the very top. The way down is pretty steep and I was very careful not to fall. Thankful for the railings. I wish the trash cans along the way were emptied more often.

What a great climb right in the middle of Tempe. You can see phx airport, so lots of planes go over. Nice benches, garbage cans, (still some garbage on ground), railing to hang on too, staircase to top lookout area, great signage for Newbies and the view was amazing! Parking across the street in the garage was 2 hour only for bottom rows. Pay parking but nice and shady in there. By the lake across from the butte, there are boats for rent and a flat walking, rollerblading, biking, etc. along the Lake. I'm not sure of the cost, but they looked like fun. Paddle boats shaped like rubber ducky and a swan, canoes, and other boats too. We accessed the parking garage from lake side and also Hayden Butte side. Very nice area!!! I would do this hike again.

This place is more like a view point. It is a short hike to gain elevation to look at the ASU campus to the south and river park and city of Tempe to the North. Very good for morning walks. Pet friendly. Highly recommend when you are at the ASU campus, Tempe, AZ

Best spot around Tempe, lake nearby also Tempe down town is near by. Just go for quick short hike. Only problem is there are no free parkings around. Be aware and look for park payments before you park your car

Amazing spot for a sunset. Trail was pretty easy but some elevation. Voew was worth the hike. Easy drop off for transportation uber or city rail.

Super fun place to meet a friend staying in Tempe for a wedding. Quick hike and then breakfast down the street. Perfect morning!

A really nice short hike with a great view! It is fairly steep but definitely short enough for all types of hikers to be able to enjoy! I went last week and I thought it was super cute how there were signs with the three wise men! I enjoyed seeing the different types of holiday symbolism! I followed Google Maps and it brought me to the side of the mountain - not a parking lot. But there are a few parking lots and garages nearby so there are parking options. It was roughly 65-70 degrees last week which was perfect!

After two visits, I can confidently say Ghost Ranch has left a lasting impression. There’s so much to love—where to begin? **Service:** We were fortunate to have Noah as our server on both occasions. He was outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely personable, which made both dinners even more enjoyable. **Atmosphere:** The decor and ambiance are beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting space. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to slightly lower the volume of the music, which at times felt a bit overpowering. **Food & Drink:** This is where Ghost Ranch truly shines. The menu offers a brilliant fusion of modern cuisine with traditional Mexican and New Mexican flavors. The *Tomahawk Pork Chop* was a standout—perfectly cooked, rich, and deeply savory. We also tried *The Sampler*, which was a fantastic way to explore a variety of flavors and textures, each one thoughtfully prepared. The drink selection complemented the food beautifully, rounding out an exceptional dining experience, but the old fashion called to me and did not disappoint.

Ghost Ranch was such a positive experience. I had driven by it a few times and was very excited to bring my fiancé here. Often times, when something is anticipated so much, it does not live up to it. Not the case here. We ordered their version of elote. It was served in a skillet with the corn on the bottom, cheese and a mayo spread over the top. This was the only dish we were not thrilled about. It was tasty but the layer of cheese was way to thick. The menu mentioned cotija cheese but it was a much thicker, melted version of a cheese blend. It made the dish very oily, which took away. The first couple bites were tasty but the thick cheese and oil got a little overwhelming. Chips were fresh and very good. For our main dish we shared the platter, which was a perfect size and so delicious. I can eat a ton but my fiancé likes little portions of different things so it worked perfectly for us. The skirt steak was cooked to a perfect medium temperature. It also had a great flavor! Many times the skirt steak at a Mexican restaurant is very thin and overcooked. This was thick, juicy and very flavorful. This dish cones with 3 enchiladas as well. Each had a different sauce and was delicious. They seemed to be deep fried for a second because the enchiladas were a little crispy. Not in a bad way at all though. They were very good. Lastly we had desert. It was between 2 but we chose this one. It was a very large portion and very good. The strawberries on top and the whipped cream were a nice touch. Neither of us drink alcohol so we just had water. Atmosphere was great, our server was friendly and the food was great. We will definitely be back.

I debated on even leaving a review, because I don’t want people to know about this place. Walked in around 7pm on a Saturday night. Plenty of tables, so there was no wait - which was unbelievable. Got the queso fondido as an appetizer. Chorizo was amazing with it. Margarita flight was also great. The Fuego margarita is what I’d get next time individually though. I’m an indecisive person so I got the sampler. It was amazing and a great choice, when you want a little bit of everything. Wife got the Aztec cake which was great. I’d honestly get this next time. Finished it off with the Chocoflan which was a 5/5. Honestly, everything here was near perfect. Service was great - particularly Alex. He checked on us often and gave amazing recommendations. Atmosphere was amazing. Lighting was perfect. The price is worth it. This place gives everyone else a run for their money. I’ll absolutely be back here very soon.

First time here and it did not disappoint. Everything was fast and amazing. Our sever Emma was so personable and made it fun being there even with how busy it was. Highly recommend the skirt steak taco platter but definitely come hungry or have some help.

We ordered way too much but it was well worth it. Very flavorful and a great spin on traditional dishes. Highly recommend and honestly great value for the portions. Great service and can't say enough about the quality of each dish.

Went in for happy hour and Cat took great care of us! The cocktails were perfect and our cheese crisp was just what we imagined. Great food and great drinks. Cat is a master of her craft. She offered to create and alter any drink on the menu. We will be back!

Food was so good!!! As soon as I tasted the pozole I thought of my nana! This will be a regular place in our rotation! Rylee was our server tonight and she was AMAZING!!

Best Sunset in Tempe. Walking distance to the light rail. The hike is easy you will see lots of kids. Bring your dog 🐕. Bring your out of town guests. Nice family experience.

Christmas Day hike up “A” Mountain. For as long as we’ve been in Phoenix, this has been on our “list” so when we were looking for a quick hike on Christmas we decided to give it a try. I was surprised to see no free parking even on Christmas, though there was plenty of room in the lot. There’s also street parking with meter pay on Mill. It’s not quite clear where the start of the trail is from this location but we just started heading up and quickly found it. It’s relatively short - but steep. Quite the incline. The views along the way are worth the climb. The very peak is blocked with a gate but most visitors ignored it in order to reach the summit, obviously at your own risk. It is a long way down. All in all, a fun quick hike with an amazing view of the valley.

Wonderful area to walk around in. You can get a lot of exercise in.

A mountain is a great spot for a quick hike or just to get outdoors and see the city. Parking is close by, but some lots do require you to pay. You can also take the light rail as there is a stop nearby. The hike takes about 30 min up (granted I had 2 little kids with me). There are rails to assist you in steeper areas, but definitely wear tennis shoes, it is rocky and unsteady in a lot of spots. The view from the top is amazing. You can see 360 views of the valley, including Tempe, ASU, the airport, and more.

Nice short hike, great for families. It’s steep but plenty of areas to relax. Most of the trail is paved but there are a lot of old stairs and rocky parts. It’s was really cool that is located in the middle of the city.

Great short hike to the top of A mountain at ASU. Used to run to the top in the 90s and the skyline has changed dramatically since then. Some of the steps are pretty steep however there is often a walk around for those. Some of the rocks towards the top are a bit slick depending on your shoes so be cautious for a tweaked ankle. Not a difficult or technical hike. I've seen people in Crocs and flip-flops and even 2 year olds (with assistance) at the top. Just don't do it in the middle of summer on the middle of the day because the sun is on it all the time and it gets wicked hot during those months. Winter is nice.

A mountain is absolutely beautiful. I love hiking A mountain. It’s clean! I love the scenery. You literally can see, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, And more from the Top of the mountain. You get to meet a lot of people along the trail. It’s a great workout spot. It’s a great place to take photos. Most of all you can truly feel free on top of the mountain. Some days I go just to meditate! It’s so dope!

This cool little restaurant has a retro vibe. It’s extremely clean and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. For drinks, my wife had an iced coffee and I had a strawberry lemonade. For breakfast we had cinnamon roll pancakes and a pancake trio with cinnamon roll, strawberry shortcake, and crème brûlée pancakes. Everything was hot and fresh and tasted very good.

I have been coming to Snooze for a few years now, and it is one of my favorite breakfast places. What I like about it is the location. It is within walking distance of where I work, making it convenient to walk there whenever I crave a good brunch. One of my favorite dishes there is the breakfast tacos. Breakfast tacos are among my favorite breakfast foods, and I especially enjoy them when I get them with avocado. They also have great omelettes. One of my favorites is their Denver omelette. You can also never go wrong with their breakfast burritos either. The service is fantastic. One server, Bryan, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Whenever I stop by, he is always a pleasure to talk to, and he, along with the other staff members, ensures that I have everything I need. I appreciate how they care about everyone in their restaurant having a great experience. Another thing I like about Snooze is the colorful atmosphere. It is a great place to go not only for brunch, but to brighten up your day whenever you are feeling down. I look forward to future visits and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a great brunch spot in the ASU area.

I absolutely recommend checking this breakfast spot out 😍 The pancake flight was amazing! 3 flavors in one serving: strawberry shortcake, cinnamon roll, and Pineapple upside down and I am glad I didn't substitute anything out. The fresh squeezed orange juice was refreshing and the mixed lemonade special drink was quite flavorful as well. The breakfast tacos with avocado were amazing. Be sure to plan accordingly because this place is PACKED often. Be ready to wait for a table or choose a good off-hour to visit. From 2 people to a group of friends, you're just bound to have an absolutely lovely breakfast here.

Great food and service! Our waitresses were both super friendly and nice. We got the eggs Benedict (the regular ham one and the prosciutto one) which had a good hollandaise. Both were great! However I was not expecting to like the pancakes as much as I did. They really tasted homemade. I don’t even really like pancakes and I came back a second day and ordered them. By far the pineapple upside down pancake was the best, followed by the pumpkin and the cinnamon roll. The Bloody Mary was also great. Highly recommend! We had about a 20 minute wait both times but it was well worth it.

I know Snooze from other US cities and had mixed experiences. This however, was a good location. Friendly young waiter and the breakfast was very good. GF bread available.

I had a sandwich and it was sooo good 🥪🤤 Only thing!!!there was kind of a weird smell inside 😅 so I’d definitely recommend sitting outside when the weather’s nice ☀️

My girlfriend and I are visiting from Utah and decided to come here for breakfast, and we had a wonderful experience! Our server, Ty, aka T-money, was absolutely amazing. Such a sweet personality and very friendly, she gave us recommendations and helped us decide and even brought us free pancakes as a welcome gift! If we lived around here we would definitely be coming here again.

Loved this museum! Very cool Phoenix Lights exhibit! Extensive mineral collection; one of the largest and varied I’ve seen! Highly recommend.

More than impressed- this museum outshines any other museums in the area including the Phoenix science one. There's a large free parking lot with accessible spots. Outside, they have some old mining equipment and a fountain. Inside the museum, there's two stories of long stretching hallways- I'd allot 4-5 hours to soak it all in - so much to see! On the first floor, on the right by the gift shop- they have a room on old Arizona road. From there, they have a room on gems (so pretty) and mining and two glass-walled rooms on history in Arizona. In front, there are glass displays of historical Arizona figures, etc. On the second floor, they have a long winding hallways that takes you through UFO and the Phoenix Lights, historic moments in Arizona and wars in Arizona. What's really nice is it's not just ho-hum historical displays. They also have a lot of interpretive exhibits which go above and beyond. For example, they had a few model homes to resemble the era and one part of the exhibit even was themed to a city in the 1900s. Super cool. Price was more than reasonable and there was so much to see. Also, employees were extremely kind and welcoming!

What a wonderful museum! We were visiting Phoenix for the day and decided to stop in. The people that work there were incredibly friendly and had great stories about Arizona that I didn't know. The exhibits were really well done and covered variety of topics. We will plan to come back next time we are in Phoenix!

Overall a nice experience, but the exhibits are quite dated. It’s very large on the inside and spread over two floors but I felt some of the exhibits could really be updated as you can tell they haven’t been for quite awhile. There was a very large focus on World War II as well. That’s great, but a lot of other museums cover that so I felt it was a bit redundant. I would’ve liked to have seen more about Native American and other parts of Arizona history. Or especially some more recent history within the last 30 years. It’s $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, but I felt that was a little bit high for what you get in return. I could easily see this being a free museum like the Tempe History Museum. At least it should be a donation type of system, $15 was a bit steep for what you get in return. There is plenty of parking out front so that part is very easy. I feel this is especially suited for elementary school kids versus the avid museum visitor.

A beautiful and popular place for weddings and celebration events! The large outdoor courtyard with access to indoor spaces off each side features a large waterfall as a backdrop to the main event. Yes, it is an amazing museum, but it's more popular for its central location, desert landscaping, and multifunctional event space. The photos here were for the Kids in Focus annual fundraising event, with the Walt Richardson Band, strolling musicians, contortionist, acrobats, large dancing figures, a silent auction (photo after the prizes were claimed), and in the museum lobby were the newest photos by some of the kids, and 8 restaurants brought a delicious food item to share, a nice way to try some yummy dishes. Plan on attending this important event next November, and check out the many scheduled photo exhibits with each child photographer in attendance to sign your photo book and chat with you. Kids in Focus (KIF) is changing young lives! Be part of it!

Drove by the building today, saw the American flag flying at full. Such a disgrace to disobey a presidential order to fly at half mass. Very insensitive to the family of the victims in the recent event, whom call Scottsdale home.

Very cool place. Lots to enjoy.

I recently visited LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Phoenix with my daughter, and honestly, I was disappointed. The only reason I’m giving it two stars instead of one is because the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. They really tried to make it fun for the kids and were patient and welcoming. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. This place is extremely overpriced for what you get. We paid over \$30 per person expecting a mini amusement park experience, but it felt more like a glorified indoor play area. There are only a couple of small rides, which were okay but not worth the price of admission. After 20 minutes, my kid was already bored — and we had seen and done just about everything. The activities are very limited. A small indoor playground, and a couple of LEGO build stations, there really wasn’t much else to do. It might be okay if tickets were under \$10 or part of a larger entertainment complex, but at full price, it just doesn’t offer enough. Save your money and try something else.

A neat place to check out as a family, read more about the 4 stars f your kids love, it’s worth checking out. The inside is bright, colorful, and has something for everyone. The big Lego play structure is always a hit, and the race car station where kids can build and race their own cars is hands down the highlight. There’s also a nice little play area outside the entrance, plus a gift shop with member discounts (10% off), which is a nice perk. Parking is easy if you get close to the door, and once you walk in, LEGOLAND is right on the right-hand side. We also love that there’s a frozen yogurt place right next door with a few non-dairy flavors a fun little add-on treat. That said, there are a few downsides. Some of the attractions are really small, like the little indoor train game where you “zap” zombies (not my favorite). There’s also a mini ride and a mini movie theater, but the attractions sometimes lean a little on the scarier side for younger kids. The hours don’t make a lot of sense no evening hours during the week, which isn’t very helpful for families with school aged kids. Depending on the time of day, there aren’t always many staff around. And if you go during a field trip, it can get really busy, so it’s worth checking online before heading out. Overall though, we’re members, and our kids enjoy it every time we go. It could use more seasonal updates and interactive features, but for a small space, it’s a great place for Lego-loving kids. I’d give it 4 stars.

Went to adult night at the Discovery Center and had a great time. There were build challenges, free play, games, prizes, and more. The employees were super friendly and available for assistance. There is a store attached if you are more interested in shopping for Lego or of you want to grab something afterward. There are bathrooms on site and a café where you can purchase water, coffee, soda, and get snacks.

I was not a fan of the Legoland resort in California so I had low expectations going here. This place was GREAT. If we were locals we would totally do the annual pass. One of the rides were down and they were actively trying to fix it (and did!). All of the staff were friendly and we would come back again in a heartbeat. Our kiddo is 2 and a half and loved it. There is even a play area and mini Cafe inside. If you have a few hours to kill come here.

I didn't realize this was inside the mall. The first couple rooms are really dark, kinda scared my almost 2 year old. The place is small but pretty spacious, fun and cute, had little activity centers for the kids. Has a little coffee and food shop, a really big and clean bathroom. Its a cute experience to do once.

I took my four year old son a few days ago. They were having a Halloween special event where you make your own Lego potion. There was only one person working at the table and we waited in line for quite a long time- no problem. When it’s our turn, my four year old who had a stammer (it’s like a stutter but he repeats whole words instead of syllables) was excited. He was being polite and started to talk to the lady. She interrupted him and repeated what he said in a mocking way. He started to say we-we-we want to… and she interrupted and said We-we-we. Extremely rude, mean spirited and hurtful. I was honestly shocked and didn’t say anything at first other than to tell her that he’s just excited and has a stammer. I was able to speak to a manager who said he would talk to the employee. But he didn’t really apologize or offer us a free ticket or anything at all. I didn’t ask for anything I was just very hurt that someone working around kids would be so mean. My kid loves this place so we will probably return, but I really hope that someone in management does something about the young lady who treated us this way. She shouldn’t be interacting with children until she changes her attitude.

Awesome place and you get a discount if you show you went to the aquarium next door, the 4d movie was cool, but just seeing my grandson so happy was the best part, if he could write this review, he'd give it 2 thumbs up. And thats what its all about

The staff was super friendly! Seating was tight, but not as bad as the location in Phoenix. It seemed like anywhere in the house would have good visibility. There is a 2 drink minimum and they aren't really able to customize drinks (for example, there is a pina colada on the menu but you can't get it without alcohol). Two sodas (not on the menu) will run you about $15 plus taxes and tip. Traffic and parking are hectic, but parking is right by the venue and free. We arrived about 30 minutes early and didn't have to wait to be seated. It's really fun to get to see shows in these intimate venues!

It takes a lot for me to write a negative review. Normally, I’d just move on and never return. But this one feels necessary, almost a public service. What happened at Tempe Improv wasn’t just bad service; it was bullying disguised as “policy.” And no one deserves to experience that kind of dehumanization. I actually feel bad for the performers who play here, because the management’s lack of empathy creates an atmosphere that stifles connection, the very thing live comedy is supposed to bring out. We’ve been to Tempe Improv before, so we knew about the rigid seating “system,” the two-drink minimum (for overpriced drinks), and the tight, shared tables. None of that was new. But this last visit to support a comedian known for advocating human rights was so painfully ironic that we left before the show even started, after being threatened by management. We arrived early, an hour and a half before showtime, to enjoy food and drinks and support the venue. Our waiter and his trainee were kind and attentive. Then, we had a couple of friends arrive about an hour before the show. The staff at the host stand refused to seat them near us, even though the entire theatre was still empty. When we asked why, we were met with sharp, dismissive attitudes instead of simple communication. We accepted the policy and decided to stand and chat near our friends’ section still well before showtime. A staff member came by, asked if we planned to return to our seats, and when we said yes, she walked away without another word. Minutes later, a short, aggressive manager came up and interrupted our conversation — not to clarify, but to threaten. His words: “You need to go back to your seat or leave.” Leave? For standing in an empty theatre 30 minutes before a show? When I asked why he was being so hostile, he doubled down, saying that once you’re seated, you’re not allowed to move. News to us. Nowhere in their pre-show announcements or policies does it say you must remain seated for 90 minutes before a show or risk being kicked out. We had already paid for tickets, food, and drinks. Yet instead of treating us like guests (or even humans) we were treated like a problem to be controlled. And that’s really the heart of it: Businesses built on rigid systems instead of basic human respect will fail. This isn’t just about one bad manager. It’s about a culture that prioritizes control over care, and policies over people. A place meant for laughter and connection shouldn’t be run with hostility and fear. Tempe Improv has lost something valuable: the trust and goodwill of the people who come to celebrate art, community, and joy. We came to support an artist who stands for human dignity — and left because we weren’t shown any ourselves.

Overall the show experience was lovely. Server was nice, and performer was incredible. The venue felt tiny and jam packed. You’re seated shoulder to shoulder and if you get a front row seat, you will not be able to use the bathroom period dot. Drinks were RIDICULOUSLY priced. I got ONE mixed drink, 2 cokes, a water, and some pretzels. The total $75 with 15% tip. I know they make it very clear there is a 2 drink minimum, but non alcoholic drinks being equally as expensive as alcohol at other places is insane. Go to see your favorite performers, but expect to pay a heavy fee on top of your tickets.

It was so funnnn! The staff is so nice and helpful, and we had a blast. A bit pricey considering there's a 2 drink minimum on top of already buying tickets, but the atmosphere is nice.

Had a great time, handicap parking is very limited but was able to find decent parking. Seating was good, food was typical bar/comedy show food. Biggest issue was a better beer selection with the requirement of a 2 drink minimum l.

Tempe Improv is hands down one of the best spots around for a proper laugh night out. The venue feels well executed, intimate but with enough capacity so feel of a live show, and the sound, lighting, and stage flow are strong. They bring in quality comedic talent (from local acts to well-known names) and mix in themed shows like ‘Comedy Madness’ that keep things fresh and entertaining. Food is above typical club fare, the bar menu is solid, and the 2-drink minimum is fair considering the experience. The atmosphere combines energy and laid-back comfort, making nights here feel special without being over the top. Always a reliable pick when you want entertainment + great laughs.

If I could give zero, I would. Came to watch Bassem Youssef show on Saturday . Extremely rude staff at the front from hostess to manager. Our waiter Jacob was amazing and did his best to accommodate us, but we were denied by owe in the front desk to sit with our friends only to let another couple that came afterwards sit with them. No apologies, no desire to help or attempt to be nice, by far, the worst customer experience. I asked the manager Micah about his name and he said he would not give me his name and he didn’t have to. Appalling behavior is un understatement .

Food was good…not great, nothing really wrong just lacked the wow factor. I’m picky about corned beef hash and prefer the shredded style, there’s is the diced version and it really lacks that good corned beef experience. The bacon is really good. The lemon zest in the pancakes was a nice touch.

If you’re looking for a cool little morning breakfast place in downtown Phoenix, this is for you. It’s more on the casual side, but the wait staff are super friendly and the food was good. My waitress Parker was all smiles and very sweet. I had to fly in the afternoon so I didn’t get to try out their adult beverages, but next time I’m in Phoenix with a little more time I think I’m gonna be hitting this place up for breakfast.

Great music, great good, and great service! Freshly squeezed orange juice is the best! Got the Greek Omelet and protein shake with oak milk/peanut butter added! Blended to perfection. Sarah our server and the staff was very friendly upon entry and throughout our breakfast. Will come back and definitely recommend. Pardon the partially eaten food, I eat first not the phone 😋😅😂

Attending a conference on the ASU campus, and needed a place for a quick lunch before check-in. Morning Squeeze was perfect. The food was delicious, very nice portions, and well priced. I got the Phat Country Boy - biscuits, gravy, and eggs benedict. My server's name was Chris, and he took good care of me. Great food stop especially for breakfast/lunch/brunch.

Everything seemed to be pretty fresh. They didn’t have any wait this morning. Server was friendly and attentive. I could see myself returning with my daughter.

Came in today for a quick brunch before my friends nail appointment at 11:30am. We arrived at about 10:23am We were greatly right away. Was told to sit anywhere we wanted to. We sat in about close to the entrance. We were sitting there for about 15 min (10:37am), no waitress came over at all. A mother an daughter came in after us sat down for about 3 min. They sat across from us. The waitress went right up to them with waters. At that point I knew it was time to go somewhere else. Upon leaving, the same waitress stated, didn't see anything you like. I replied we did however we sat here for 15 min or so an wasn't approached. She said sorry I just saw you after I waited on them, I was coming over after. Yes, that's correct after them when we were there 1st. My 1st experience there I won't be returning. Even if the food looked good. 😫

Parker was our server. She was amazing. She was overwhelmed by doing everyone else’s work and was still super kind and efficient. She was the hostess, the bartender, bussed her own tables, mopped up a mess that wasn’t hers. I recommend that her parents get a reward for raising an awesome human. Her boss should make sure she gets a giant bonus. Side note: best Eggs Florentine ever.

It’s definitely an easy adventure to the lovely hole in the rock center, usually a crowd to witness the beautiful horizon. We always love coming here and enjoying Mother Nature at its finest. The great outdoors! Plenty of parking and everyone is friendly, safe and enjoyable for a short yet mesmerizing experience, been here many times and will keep visiting!

It is actually a very short hike up to the hole in the rock. Who was easily able to do this in slides. I would definitely recommend bringing some water, because it gets very hot, and there is nothing else around unless you want to pay to get into the zoo. The hole was pretty cool, and we were also able to go through it and sit on the other side in the rocks and get a really nice view.

What a fantastic way to kick off our Phoenix adventure! As our very first stop on the trip, this quick and easy 0.3-mile out-and-back trail in Papago Park was the perfect low-key intro to the city’s desert vibes. The path is super family-friendly—mostly flat with just a gentle 45-foot elevation gain and a few simple stairs carved into the red sandstone—butte, making it a breeze even if you’re not a hardcore hiker. We zipped through it in about 10 minutes, leaving plenty of time to soak in the magic.

An amazing rock formation with a natural hole, surrounded by a park with a few scenic ponds. The trail offers a unique hiking experience, surprisingly close to built-up areas and road access. It’s well worth walking the trail to enjoy the view through the rock’s opening. Also an ideal spot for birding, especially at dawn or dusk. I even spotted a few species, including a roadrunner, around midday.

Breath-taking views. Especially at sunset. There is a fairly easy climb up. If you are going to watch the sunset get there early to get a good seat.

Fantastic place to watch the sunrise. It gets crowded but everyone is polite and respectful. Parking is alittle difficult but it’s a very laid back atmosphere. Everyone is there for the same reason and no one is in a rush. When the sun starts to set it gets really quiet and as the sun disappears behind the mountains everyone showed their appreciation to God for the beautiful of it all by cheering and clapping.

Beautiful! Can definitely get crowded. If you exit and shift to the left, you can still have a beautiful view just not as cool as being in the hole!

Great food and excellent service the server did a great job of making sure the plates were off the table when they were done and they had helpers as well. Everything was exactly as I expected to be and the seafood soup or whatever it was was delicious

The grill was delicious super fresh grilled right in front of you. Super hot delicious French fries. Did you know that french fries are only good for about 7 minutes after their deep fried? Staff were friendly; the only downside was I couldn't find my favorite slot machine. By the way if you sign up for their players club you get $25 free on the slots which is actually a lot more than most casinos will offer you mostly offer $5 to $10.

Impressive First Visit! It was our first time at the casino today and we were truly impressed. While the casino is on the smaller side, it’s very well laid out and easy to navigate. There were plenty of friendly staff members around, all eager to help and make sure you’re having a great time. We played some slots and joined the matinee Bingo. The Bingo staff, from the cage to the floor, were incredibly helpful, upbeat, and full of great energy. Their enthusiasm really added to the experience. We also appreciated the little details: free bottled water, spotless restrooms, and the amazing smell of the food! Parking was easy and stress-free too. We had such a great time that we’re already planning our next visit. If you're considering going — do it! You’ll have a blast.

I had a great time the place is really nice no cigarette smoke I hit a bunch of bonuses. I was given a free bingo game….bingo is fun but if you are there to gamble on slots or tables and don’t have a lot of time don’t get caught up in bingo it takes hours to finish the main games don’t get me wrong it was super fun but was kinda wishing I didn’t buy the extra games only because I didn’t have a bunch of time to be there

Easy wins if you bet big. It wasn’t terribly busy either which made it more comfortable.

Meh. Not many people are winning, but then again, casinos aren't built on winners. Just another casino to pass the time. Nothing negative to say, nothing overly optimistic. Very neutral experience.

Lots of slots. Tons of keno. Love that. No craps.. Absolutely no one wanted to give me a rewards card. Zero comp drinks after dropping $400. When trying to ask staff members about rewards they would just look up at the seeling and walk on by.

Love the bruschetta and grilled cheese with tomato soup. And really enjoyed the meatballs. I think they had goat cheese on them, which was nice and tangy. I was surprised with how much I really liked it .They have a lot of bruschetta options and the food is all really good.

A light lunch of soup and bruschetta carried more comfort than I expected. Warm flavors and crisp freshness felt like a verse well spoken. The bartender was attentive with steady care never letting a guest go unnoticed. A brief visit yet memorable and worthy of return.

Fantastic place to hang out. We were there for lunch on an ASU game day. Server was amazing. We got a combined 5 glasses of wine (at 6 dollars each per their daily happy hour). For food, we had Bruscetta and the Smoked Salmon board. We weren't rushed, and they truly made us feel like we were special. We will definitely be back!

Popped into Postino’s Annex in Tempe to celebrate my favorite travel partner’s birthday, and let me tell you, this place is vibes. You’d never guess it’s tucked near a college campus, because the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve teleported somewhere between a chic wine lounge and your cool friend’s backyard party that somehow always has perfect lighting. The ambiance is warm, laid-back, and effortlessly stylish, exposed brick, dangling lights, and that cozy-meets-trendy energy that makes you want to stay for “just one more glass.” The music’s good, the crowd’s fun, and the staff? Absolute rockstars. They made sure the birthday girl and the five guys she somehow convinced to join her (yes, we all came for moral support and carbs) were taken care of like VIPs. Food? Outstanding. The bruschetta board is basically a love language, and if you’re not pairing it with a bottle (or two) of wine, you’re doing it wrong. Every bite, every sip, every laugh, perfection. Already planning my next excuse to “accidentally” end up back here with a glass of Moscato in hand and a bruschetta board in front of me.

We stopped in after going to the theatre. I ordered the PREAM bowl with chicken and steak skewers in it. It was ok except the grains were hard like rocks, every unpleasant. We also ordered hot donut dots which were delicious and olive oil cake that was very good. The restaurant opens to the outside, and the flies were coming in. Not my favorite restaurant.

Love this place! Went the other night and had a great time. Shoutout to the bartenders Niko and Jr. – super friendly, fast, and made us feel right at home. Best service I’ve had in Tempe! The tri-tip dip is outstanding – juicy meat, perfect roll, and that au jus is 🔥. Paired it with an ice-cold beer poured just right. So good! Cool vibe, awesome staff, killer food and drinks. Already want to go back!

Girls night out! From the start to finish our service was 10/10 would recommend!! Our server Nico was on it, always making sure we were taken cared of. The Manager JR was absolutely delightful and very organized at managing his team. Food is also wonderful!!! Definitely coming back!!!!

In the mood for breakfast, brunch, or lunch and in the Tempe area we found this little spot on the corner. Parking will be an issue as you may have to pay for parking depending on what time and where you decide to drop anchor. Also, depending on the time, how many are in your party, you may have some seating issues. There is a outside seating as well, however, this is the Phoenix metro area so depending on the time of the year it may be scorching outside. Now let's get to the food, pretty decent list to select from. Everyone in our party of 6 found something different to satisfy their food needs. My egg white zucchini was quite delicious. Restrooms not appealing. Otherwise, good place to eat.

Met a friend for breakfast. I ordered the Morning Glory and was excited for it but it needs more flavor. Mimosa was good! Interactions with the staff were friendly. Overall I would definitely come back I enjoyed the atmosphere and views. We went at 9am on a Saturday and had no problem finding a table. You will need to pay for parking but there are quite a few lots/garages around. If you plan on coming late morning maybe check the menu ahead of time. As the others have said you order then find a seat.

Mapped and walked over from hotel during a quick visit. It’s one of the few breakfast/brunch places open at 7am in this area. I have to agree with the other reviews, it’s ok but not spectacular. I was immediately greeted and welcomed, and service was 5 stars. Food tasted just ok, and portions v price were kinda on the small side. There was not an option to add on half orders of waffles to omelet meals. The coffee was good, but my omelet was folded on the egg side and not the cheese side (cheese side up), so all the veggies fell out with each bite I cut with the fork. Atmosphere was weird as there was construction behind the beverage station and street construction just out the front doors. Not a chill coffee & breakfast vibe, but maybe that will change after the construction is complete.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great music. Overall, it's a nice casual place. Food was prepared fresh. Very filling. Open at 7am. So after you climb the butte. Great place to cool down afterward. From coffee to smoothies. Overall, I love the vibe.

Folks w Celiacs- rejoice!!!!! The waffle iron is dedicated gf and the red velvet waffle is possibly the greatest waffle ever (w or wo gluten). There are a couple gf goodies, mainly non gf options, lots of coffee choices and a bar- def make a it stop in Tempe!!

Awesome listen spot right next to ASU! Staff was super friendly, location was super clean and food was great, especially for the price! Would highly recommend.

Delicious food and amazing service! My friends and I enjoyed this restaurant and will definitely be recommending it as a go-to breakfast spot!

Very fun place! They have all kinds of games you can check out, pretty much any game you can think of they have available. The espresso martini was delicious, and I highly recommend it. The food was pretty good. It was a little slow getting to us, and it wasn't super warm, but the flavors were good. They have a "dice shot" that you can order, and that was super fun. You pick a dice, and they bring over this castle that you drop the dice in, and your shot is determined by the number your dice lands on. Plus, you get to keep the dice as a souvenir. The decor is super fun, and the chairs are pretty comfortable, we didn't play a game but would have been comfortable enough for a couple hours had we chosen to play a game.

"My favorite cheese is the one you keep around for emergencies. Just in queso." ― @primawesome, Twitter/X Do you know what you need before hitting an ASU game? Carbs! Nachos and beer, baby. Plus an addition of wings too! - Nachos ($19 + $4 for grilled chicken): I can never say no to chips. It could be with guacamole, salsa, or cheese and I'm here for it. The nachos at Snakes & Lattes are legit. You get an "A" Mountain sized pile of chips. Do you need the extra protein? Maybe not. But we were seeing an ASU game in the late August heat. Let me have some protein. - Garlic Parmesan Wings ($15): I wasn't expecting a BWW saucy situation but I'm not mad about it. They were good sized, plumped, and tasty. - OHSO Popcycle Blonde ($8): One of my favorite brews in town and I'm not even a fan of beer. I love the Popcycle Blonde though because It tastes like a lemon raspberry popsicle at an ABV of 4.5%. Don't question it. Just get it. Enjoy food, drinks, and over 1000 board games!

Super cute restaurant that provides board games and delicious food! I love the payment system they have set up and they have so many games to choose from. I also like how there is a game master that comes to each table and can explain the game you want to play. So fun for friends and family!

Cute spot with endless games, coffee flights, and cozy vibes! Snakes & Lattes is such a fun, unique spot! The location is huge, super cute, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. I came for a meetup group and had a great time. There are way more games here than I ever knew existed—literally walls of options—and they offer coffee, soft drinks, a full bar, and food. When I first arrived, I went to the bar to order and was kindly redirected to use the QR code at the table instead (which was super convenient). I couldn’t decide what to try, so I went with the coffee flight, which included: Black coffee on ice – Slightly sour, likely due to the beans being ground a bit too coarse. Dirty chai latte – My favorite! Strong chai flavor and the milk balanced out the espresso beautifully. S’mores cold foam – Pretty intense. The mocha base + marshmallow foam was very sweet—great if you have a big sweet tooth. Vanilla caramel – Also sweet, not my thing but not terrible. After sitting indoors for a couple hours, I got chilly and ordered a hot latte. It had a subtle floral note I wasn’t expecting—maybe from the oat milk or an added syrup? Not bad, not amazing, but it warmed me up. Service was pretty quick, and food came out fast too. Some folks in my group got the spinach artichoke dip and chicken sandwiches and said they were solid. My only real gripe is the price—$28 for a 4-drink flight and one latte is steep. But considering the atmosphere, games, and great company, it’s still worth a visit!

Great experience! Visiting town and enjoyed getting to know some folks over shared apps (the elote bites are a must), beverages and board games. There's a per person cost to use board games ($6 currently) but it's totally worth it because the games are in great condition and there's even a board game concierge of sorts to find games for you and even recommend similar games—great way to discover new faves.

I have been coming to Snakes & Lattes in Tempe for several years now. Every time I have stopped by, I have had a great experience. The food is excellent. I like that they have a nice selection of food on their menu. While everything on their menu I have tried has been great, their macaroni and cheese stands out the most. It is some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. You can never go wrong with their desserts either. I have tried every dessert they offer, and they are all fantastic in their own way. To the best of my memory, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my first affogato. While I have had an affogato from several restaurants now, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my initial one. The affogato is a perfect combination of sweet and bitter. Their skillet cookie and waffle sundaes are also excellent choices if you are craving anything sweet. The staff is friendly and attentive. To my knowledge, the only time I have been there is during lunchtime, which tends to be their quietest time during business hours, as they have told me and from experience. Thus, I have had some friendly conversations with the staff about sports and what they enjoy doing for fun outside of work. Another thing I like about Snakes & Lattes is its low-key atmosphere. Not only are there many board games to play, but it is also a brilliant spot to unwind and get a breather in before resuming the workday. It also helps that Snakes & Lattes is within walking distance of my workplace. I would highly recommend Snakes & Lattes to anyone looking for a place to relax, play board games, and grab a bite to eat in downtown Tempe.

Was iffy at first to try this place but glad I did. We got the chicken bacon ranch dip,franks red hot wings, side of spicy Korean chicken. For the main dishes we got the tortellini pasta, spicy chicken sandwich and i got the beef stroganoff. Everything was a 5 out of 5 jalapeños. That stroganoff was the best to me. Fire. Also ordered couple of michaladas and they were ok. Server was awesome. Nice, friendly, attentive. Will come back again and will order the beef stroganoff Again!!!!!

Always a great place to paddle board or bike around. Only thing is you can’t get in the water which sucks on a hot hot day

Today I came to the boat park , surprisingly there was not a single vehicle in the parking lot or anyone sitting at the Cabana. By the time I pulled into the parking lot to toss a piece of trash in the garage can a Tempe park patrol or maintenance truck came into the park and blocked my exit. I went the opposite direction and a biker with full face covering came out of nowhere. As I am leaving another vehicle was speeding to the park. The Tempe truck went around the maria and came out as I had made it to the tunnel. A white vehicle appear to be following me to the highway. I have came to this park many times and it never cease to amaze me that I can't sit by the water in peace . Based on how it's set up I think it's a make out spot for people. Apparently these people think I'm selling something or want to buy something based on their actions. On occasion the men will stop in front of my vehicle to take their shirt off or they will mouth Are you good? The longest I have parked in this park is 15 minutes it's not a good location due to the one way exit. The homeless people on the bike trail start circling around as if they are casing the parking lot. One will pass by within a few minutes four to five bikes are on the bike trail. Because they have an advantage,based on what I can sense they hang out on the ridge giving them a Birdseye view and concealing their location. If I'm in the area I stop by the park to see if the situation has changed,it's been over six months and the same shabby crew is running the park . Be aware of your surroundings the homeless community have electric bikes they fly by on that bike trail like mosquitoes you are at a disadvantage due to the obstruction. They come from behind there and they are gone in seconds. I was outside my vehicle and I could hear someone whistling but I didn't see them by the time I entered my vehicle homeless person with a full back pack and walking stick came into view. As they started walking towards my vehicle I left the parking lot. The homeless person turned around and went back towards the ridge. Word of caution don't left the waterfront fool you that it's a place of peace,keep your head on a swivel.

I am just reading this because all of the reviews are great and I am planning to go there for my twins birthday. They’ll be 20 years old. I’m so excited.

I love this lake. It’s so relaxing. It’s nice if you wanna go bike riding or jogging or even a picnic.. it’s not for swimming or people take their boat boats and their canoes.

tempe town lake, oh what an experience. we rented the bird scooters and had a blast. even without them, it's such a pretty place to talk and hang out. my best friend and I were here for a few hours just taking in the sunset and vibes. plenty of walking paths and so many places downtown you could go and eat etc. we had a really good time. and we liked it so much we came back the next night too. fyi the bird scooters, a little more info, you'll need the app to unlock and begin the rides. and it's roughly 48¢ a minute. they max out at 18 mph and are solar powered. you can lock them say if you're grabbing food and you can park it outside. and when you're finished you just end the ride on the app and you can park it wherever (within reason of course). overall, the atmosphere is lively and everything is pretty well lit. the park does close at midnight so just be sure to have your fun before that. ;)

A pleasant place to have an evening stroll in Tempe enjoying the sunset and to unwind and relax. Located in proximity to Tempe market place, you can view the glistening buildings of Tempe.

Amazing urban recreational experience. Walking, cycling and kayaking opportunities. Cultural event facilities and close proximity to restaurants and entertainment.

Talk about a Great View! Our meal and service was great. Chris did a wonderful job taking care of us. We were there for my Wife's birthday and we are very glad that we did. We ordered the charcuterie board and the bone marrow to start. Both were well worth it. We also ordered the NY Strip and the Portobello Mushrooms, again these were a great option. Chris brought over a little dessert to celebrate my Wife's birthday, what a pleasant surprise that was. What a wonderful time we had. Great meal, great service and a wonderful view of the City. The only downside was a rowdy group that had a couple of loud individuals and even though there is a business casual dress code there were a few people in shorts, hoodies and graphic t shirts. Not really what you expect to see in an establishment like this. All in all, Top of the Rock has been added to our favorite places to dine.

Took my husband on a dinner date after a work conference we were attending. It was very nice. The food was amazing and the view was breathtaking! The lobster was so tender! And the service was very good too! I will definitely come back when in town. Very beautiful place to propose with the sunset. Or just come for a romantic dinner. Totally worth it and recommend it.

I went to Top of the Rock a couple of days ago to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday, and it was such a wonderful evening! The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, with beautiful views that made it feel extra special. The staff was so kind and attentive, and they really helped make the night go smoothly. The food was amazing everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly cooked. My mother in law was so happy, which meant a lot to us. It truly felt like the perfect spot for a special occasion.

We loved EVERYTHING about this restaurant. We are from Chicago and have very high standards for food & service. We were visiting friends & I found this place while doing research on places to eat as I have a gluten allergy. This. Place. Is. Perfect. The ambiance is beautiful, the staff was very friendly & efficient. I booked our reservations for outdoors as the weather was 83°. And would still be nice into the evening. I wanted to book the time frame so we'd have sunshine, then see the sunset & the lights displayed in the evening all around the restaurant. THE VIEWS ARE STUNNING!!! The staff were attentive and helpful with recommendations. Our food was absolutely delicious! I ordered Seabass with mashed potatoes & asparagus. My hubby had roasted chicken. Our friends ordered lamb chops & the charcuterie board. We throughly enjoyed our evening!! I will return every time I come to AZ. If you visit AZ and it's not too far away you MUST book your resey here.

Incredible restaurant with decadent dining and breathtaking views of the city lights. Definitely a splurge but the food is delicious and plated to perfection. P.S. they served us a complimentary focaccia that was quite literally the BEST I have ever had. Stellar service, a total 5 ⭐️ dining experience.

Nice views, and a good option if you’re in the area. Otherwise, head to the patio on Sanctuary for better views and service. Wait staff was great, but it took the hostess 10-15 minutes to check us into an empty restaurant shortly after it opened for the evening. Also, the teak patio furniture needs refinishing and makes the restaurant look dated. If you’re looking to impress someone on a date, recommend Sanctuary or Wrigley Mansion as alternatives. If it’s convenient and you’re in the area, it’s a nice stop.

Overall I think the restaurant was immaculately designed with incredibly high vaulted ceilings and lovely interior. The view is subpar at best as most of it just of a high way. Maybe we came on subpar day, but it was Sunday evening and you’d imagine they’d be better staffed and supplied for the meal. Service - the wait staff seemed a bit stretched thin given the large crowd. The gap in between appetizer and our entrees was more than 30mins and thought the staff would accommodate with something, but I guess that’s not the establishment they were. They were sold out of a few items and certain entrees were running short, but the seafood pasta ordered was directly said that it would come with one less scallop and compensated with extra clams and muscles. Food - we ordered oysters Rockefeller, NY Strip, seafood laced fettuccine, and side order of Mac cheese. The highlight was probably the appetizer and oysters which had a nice briney bite with a lovely crispy top. NY strip - was bone dry and not ordered to hope we wanted it cooked. We asked for medium rare it came out well done at best. The amount of chews per bite were quite a bit. Given how long we waited to get our entrees, we didn’t want to risk returning and waiting longer for the potential of a steak cooked we wanted. Seafood pasta - the seafood was cooked well and shrimp was well done. The one scallop was fine and muscles and clams were lovely. The pasta wasn’t salted and the sauce had no seasoning away from a lemon forward taste. It felt just like butter and lemon with just no seasoning. Mac and Cheese - was just super dry. Had some bacon bits in between that provided some texture, but it felt like just a cream cheese and noodles combined with some bacon.

We we're able to buy discounted tickets from Groupon and boy were they worth it, so much so that I highly recommend taking your children, family, or friends. The museum doesn't look that big, however when you start your tour and notice that you have been there two hours you will understand what I'm sharing. We never knew that the Hall of Flame Museum even existed, almost every large city in America 🇺🇸 has one. They all share things in common such as lay down your life for others, the many sacrifices made by the men/women are incredible. And this history has been preserved for us, please learn about how American's are a loving nation. ❤️

This museum was great for both me and my toddler. He loved the firetrucks, and I was very moved by the displays honoring the sacrifices that have been made by firefighters. They have a firetruck that kids can climb on, and there's a great kids play area learning all about fire safety. They have a truck that was there on 9/11, and also one from our Arizona Hot Shots. The staff were so friendly and sweet to my kid. Give this place some love, they're totally worth it.

We had a good time at the museum. Great place for kids if they are interested in fire trucks. The displays are great visually and if you are interested in doing a little reading and paying attention you can learn a great deal about Fireman history. The staff is knowledgeable and I think we would have spent more than two hours there if we weren’t already tired from touring museums all day.

Absolutely wonderful place. Greeted and given an overview by a member of staff, then wandered the halls taking it all in. So much fascinating history, emotional stories, tributes to those who work in the service, and so many beautiful trucks. Even a kids play area! Spent a good hour wandering around taking everything in. Fantastic.

Had so many cool fires trucks and things to see! It has a great variety of things to look at and learn about for the adults as well as a play place and truck to climb on for my 3 year old! We will definitely be coming back and bringing friends!

I wasn't sure that I would enjoy the Hall of Flame museum. I knew I'd have a good time because I was with several friends. We got there and Bob, who works on various Fridays, took it upon himself, after we entered and looked around to take us on a personal tour. I think we got halfway through the first room of the multi-room tour, and realized that two and a half hours had past. Bob was extremely well-educated regarding the history of firefighting and he gave us a delightful tour. I bought an annual pass so that myself and group members can come back for more tour stories and interesting history from Bob on future Friday's when he is there. I'm sure the other volunteers and employees are also excellent tour guides. We were incredibly impressed with the history of firefighting and the fire engines/ machines. Bob and the other men there were very cordial and knowledgeable. I would very highly recommend this to anybody who wants a unique experience and a walk through the past!!

Worth every penny! What a wonderfully maintained, fun, incredibly informative Museum. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful with any questions. What an extensive collection of Fire Trucks! Very family friendly, and fun things throughout for children to do. My family had a great afternoon here!

A small but mighty museum. I really expected more exhibitions inside but even if small it was very informative and interesting to find out about the canals and how people have made Phoenix their homes for many centuries. I specially loved the outside houses and structures to get a better idea of what life was like then

My only lament is that I did not have all the time I wanted to spend here. The archeological site of the va'aki was impressive to behold and contemplate. I loved getting to connect with the physical site and imagining the life of the O'odham people a thousand or so years ago and imagining their lives, pondering their engineering and how it made this unforgiving environment liveable. The bonus is realizing this museum represents a ground zero of Phoenix's origin story. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

One of the best museums I've ever been to! It's not big but this place is absolutely amazing! It offers a great outlook to the history of the place, educates about the ways of the native people of this area, how smart and sustainable their way of life used to be before... Outstanding work of preservation of the ancient structure! Thank you so much! Highly recommend everyone to visit but especially the people who live in the area. We have to know the history and the legacy of the place we live in!

I would have given five stars if there were more to explore inside but that is neither here nor there. I enjoyed looking at all that they have outside as well. I loved that they have a garden and kitchen props and that you could see how the inside of the homes looked. I went on a Sunday and there was minimal people there.

Very nice, and recently updated, information in the museum exhibit. The site is very valuable for its cultural context and the historical information it provides. Very nice little gift shop with local, native art, cultural and food products. They had an event going on the day I visited, with native dancers and local artisans. Overall the museum seems to be doing a great job partnering with local tribal members and stewarding the site to preserve its significance for years to come.

I used a library culture pass to see this. It also counts as an Arizona 250 site. I hadn't been here since a kid. It's very interesting for those who appreciaye archeological sites. The docent gave an interesting and informative talk. I appreciated the quiet and gentle walk thru and on top of the ruins. It gives you a better understanding of the size and depths of the structures. I would recommend visiting in the mornings, as it still gets warm even during the Fall. This museum is located in the heart of the city, so it's really a juxtaposition of the old amongst the new. There's a lot of signage to read in the museum, but we mainly enjoyed the stroll.

We took our youngest two here as a starting point for discussions about native American history month. It is very informative and the children liked the hands on areas

Absolutely Awesome Experience! Wonderful staff... Ms. Kelly and all the staff were very helpful and courteous and cheerful and attentive! Such a beautiful pleasure to explore the building and the views are so amazing! Very clean restrooms! Truly Appreciate All the Attention to Details... Making the Experience Phenomenal! God's Blessings!

Went this past Saturday for the Stardew Valley “Symphony of Seasons” orchestra concert. I must add that I’ve never been to a live orchestra. This concert *absolutely* blew me away. I loved every aspect of it. We had very good seats (3rd row from front) and I loved being able to see the harpist playing as well as the Maestro so close. It must’ve been one of the most magical things I’ve ever seen in my life. Just such an amazing experience all around! Thank you!!!

Category: Performance venue. We have seen several great shows at this venue, but the venue is a great show in itself. The monumental atrium with arched steel trusses houses the main Theatre, the Studio theater, and the Gallery, each of which is identified by a huge neon-ish sign. Dramatic catwalks provide access between the Theatre’s tiers and the elevators. The wall of windows looks out over the patio, Tempe Lake, and spectacular walking bridge. The facility has a large, adjacent parking garage and is a short walk to Tempe restaurants, where we dine either before or after the show. There is also a bar with a few snacks on the first floor, with tables both inside and outside. Suggestion: add a LOT more tables outside; there’s plenty of space. We have only attended shows in the Theatre, which has a large proscenium stage, great acoustics, several tiers with a sufficient rake to prevent any heads from blocking anyone’s view, and enough knee room between you and the next row or the balcony wall. We really enjoy seeing shows here. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

I am an actor, and I have worked in the theater there a couple of times, ( I was just there as an understudy last night) and I have been there as an audience member as well. It is beautiful! The scenic town lake is lovely, and the bar and gallery are a great way to pass time before your show begins. Backstage is wonderful. They are a pro establishment, it's pristine, there are several bathrooms, and the dressing rooms are spacious and include a bathroom with 2 stalls, 2 sinks, and a shower. There is a small lounge area, and the stage, lighting, and sound setups are fantastic. I feel very at ease there. There are 2 theatres within the center for live stage performances. One is large, and the other is about mid-size and provides a more intimate theatre experience. I love it there.

So far, I haven’t been to any of the shows, but they have a great lineup of theatre productions, and the free exhibit they offer is really neat. I love that there is a Starbucks inside and the view of the lake and the landscaping is so beautiful at sunset. There are cute rabbits outside, too.

I always enjoy going to the theater here. Easy access and free covered parking with annual membership. I really enjoyed the show, "Deceived." It's a more modern version of the 1938 play "gas light." The performers were on target and really got us involved. Lots of fun! If I had one thing bad to say about it I would say that the seats are hard, thus not very comfortable. Still, worth every penny and time to go there. They also have food and drink. And yes they have handicap parking and bathroom accessories.

Tempe Center for the Arts is a beautiful entertainment structure. It's modern design is reminiscent of Frank Loyd Wrights work. Inside, the seating has four horseshoe levels that surround the performance stage. The acoustics are great. The buildings location is perfectly placed along the scenic south shore of the Salt River. I love this venue.

It was our first visit because my daughter said she wanted to try climbing. The facility was really large and had many climbing zones with various levels of difficulty. The indoor space was full of people climbing, and it looked really cool. The staff gave us detailed explanations and even taught us how to tie knots and handle the ropes throughout, which was very helpful. My daughter said climbing was fun and wants to come often. It's actually more tiring for the parent holding the rope at the bottom than for the one climbing, though!

Me and my friend went for the first time and it was awesome. An employee named Nico assisted us and took his time with us without rushing or causing an annoyance. And he helped take this photo thank you Nico!

One of my absolute favorite spots to go defy gravity and pretend I’m more spider than man. They’ve got it all, straight-up climbs, inverted walls that make you question your life choices halfway up, funky angled routes, and enough color-coded holds to keep your brain working as hard as your arms. Bouldering, rope climbing, lead climbing, even a pull-up bar so you can flex on your rest breaks or cry in between sets. Prices bumped up a bit recently, but let’s be honest, so did eggs, rent, and the cost of breathing. It’s still only twenty bucks to climb until your arms fall off, and that’s a steal these days. Rentals are extra, but not insultingly so. Staff? Chill and friendly, like the kind of people who can spot you mid-fall and recommend the best flavor of ice cream bar after. Oh yeah, they’ve got snacks and drinks too, because you’re gonna earn ‘em. Solid vibe, killer routes, and just a great spot to get a workout in without having to fake liking the treadmill.

I visited Phoenix Rock Gym in Tempe and had a fantastic time climbing. The facility features tall walls (30 ft or more) with many routes for top-rope and lead climbers, making it both challenging and fun. My orientation was smooth, equipment rental was straightforward, and the staff were helpful without being overbearing. The community vibe is strong, really felt like a place to hang out and climb, not just a gym. If you’re looking for a climbing place near Phoenix where you can get a good workout and meet other climbers, Phoenix Rock Gym is definitely worth checking out.

Unfortunately this was a very poor climbing experience, especially as a first time introducing a friend to climbing. It felt like a time capsule of a climbing gym, and not in a good and nostalgic way, at least for me. There is a very long introductory video that clearly hasn’t been updated in decades, belayers are required to use very old belay devices that are attached already to each route & also tether themselves to the ground, even when climbing with a partner near the same size and weight. I found the tether unnecessary and limiting as a belayer. The climber’s figure 8 knot is already tied, which to me, limits the learning process & experience. It felt like being spoon-fed climbing. On top of that, the routes were marked with tape, with holds being various colors all the way up, and very hard to differentiate which holds your feet can go on, when looking from above. I don’t know this for certain, but the slick nature of the holds seems like they don’t pressure wash them too often either. I did enjoy the style of a few of the routes though, which is why I gave more than 1 star. Honestly if they put some effort into updating their policies, I think a lot of people would have better experiences.

Went with my friend and was super fun plus only $20 for a day pass if you own your own gear. Grigri's on every rope was a cool idea. Bouldering areas are well designed and fun. Wish I got to try the lead climbing area since the routes look fun.

Awesome, awesome place to go to. I went there and it was my first time doing any sort of rock climbing at all. The staff were super helpful and it was easier to learn the basics than I thought it would be. It’s a very cool environment with tons of space. I recommend it for sure and am looking forward to going back

Singh Meadows in Tempe is a beautifully tranquil farmers market experience tucked into neighborhood green space. The fresh produce selections feel local and high quality, crisp greens, colorful fruits, artisan items, and the café side complements perfectly with vegetarian dishes and fresh juices. The ambiance is serene, with outdoor seating near water features and plenty of shade, making it more than just shopping, it’s a peaceful morning out. Whether I’m there for groceries, a juice, or just the vibe, Singh Meadows always delivers a warm, nourishing experience

Remember you're paying for the atmosphere when you order your food. I'm not going to lie, it's pricey but also delicious. Hummus plate: $10.95 gets 1/2 cup hummus, 5 cherry tomatoes, 4 broccoli florets, 4 cauliflower florets, 4 cut up radishes, 1 sliced small carrot & 1 small sliced pita. Very fresh and organic. Breakfast chibatta $9.95 plus I added 1 thick slice bacon for $2.50 but wasn't there supposed to be cheese and avocado? Large coffee: $5.40. 3x3x3 piece of oatmeal cake. $5 plus tax. Maybe I'm just out of touch after being away from restaurants this last year because I thought everything was overpriced. Maybe it's just me. Very peaceful and relaxing except I could have done without the music. I'll be going back when it's cooler (hey owner if you're reading this... install some overhead fans) and when I have deeper pockets.

Poor garden soil quality. Needed to rebuild my garden and wanted to use Singh Meadows mulch and soil. The soil was 90% river silt and nothing grew in it for two seasons now. The small amount of organic material was used to color the silt. Ended up digging up and replacing with a different provider. Alot of time and money wasted. If you want productive garden do not use.

Beautiful place. Great produce and price! Lines are a bit long and they only have one register is the only down fall. I was going to go back and grab a jar of honey before leaving but the line was too long.

This is the place to be on the weekends, farmers market, so you have all your fresh veggies for the week, they also have a grill for breakfast/lunch foods, plus fresh baked breads, homemade golden honey, pickles, fresh juices and teas and a ton of other goodies. The space outside opens up TO a HUGE grassy area, with a pond and an area for volleyball. Bring a blanket enjoy the birds, the sun and enjoy the weekend and Singh Meadows.

This place is wonderful, and the best use of an old golf course I have seen. It is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and there is a mellow atmosphere. We brought our dog this past weekend, and it was great for our morning walk. Also, since we’ve had so many monsoons lately, the wash that borders it looked like a river.

What a great spot! The amount of space to let littles run around and play is amazing. There is a pond and ducks to help entertain. If you don’t get there early, expect a line. Food is decent but I was disappointed that the menu online is nothing like what is actually offered. Only two food options were available in addition to pastries. Either way, worth the visit!

This place was cute, the wave pool is really intense but the kids had a blast.

What a great facility. My kid has come to the wave pool and batting cages a few times. Came to an event in their meeting space and had a good experience.

this place it was built in the 80s I think this may have been the second or third or so wave pool ever there is a cool waterslide too and it's indoors i had a birthday party for my daughter there 15 years ago. there are also gyms and racquetball and nice tennis courts and even pickleball heck , if you want there's even batting cages.

Had a kid party indoor here. VERY worth .every penny! You are assigned an employee to assist and mine rocked. It was easy set up easy tare down. The wave pool was awesome, of course. There was only one thing I wished, maybe have a bucket or sink to dump drinks into? Also, we split some soda and I could not clean it properly.. I let my helper know later

8.5/10. This is a wonderful idea, and I wish more people had pools like this one.. But there were just a few small things... The lockers take quarters to lock up your stuff. Heads up. We didn't know this... but you can leave your stuff on the pool deck and hope no one has sticky fingers. (We left ours on the deck because we came with only our card and no cash) Also, the slide shuts down when the wave pool is going, which is understandable-ish. But the kids all have to leave back down the stairs, and then they have to wait in line all over again, hoping that they will get a chance before they close for the waves again. There is a similar water park a little west of the city, and they have enough lifeguards to cover the wave pool and slide.. Maybe they should look into that? Just like 2 that are slide duty. Loved that you could purchase snacks at the time of. But NOT NEEDED! There were better things if you just wait for the snack shop... love that there is a snack shop. Decent one, too. But aside from that. This was a great place to escape the heat. We drove from Tucson for the indoor pool. Overall, it's worth it.

My Granddaughter & I needed a place indoors to practice basketball, so we found Kiwanis Rec Center online. The entry fee was reasonable, but the time that we went, afternoon, was pretty crowded. We did eventually get to practice on a shared court. I suggest that you go early if you want a court to yourself, which is what we did the next time visited. Early morning the best! Call ahead, though!!

Our Family really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Great place to bring out your inner kid, we made new friends and made happy memories the playground here is wonderful the kids age groups range from little little like baby and 15. Seem that this park as a something for everyone to enjoy.

Generally great park. For the next year they are working on the sewer bio filter, so be prepared for stink. Some days are much stinkier than others.

It's pity not open on national holiday, the house just similar with my name.

Enjoyed the Christmas self-guided tour yesterday. In addition to the fabulous tour of the house, EVERYone of the dioceses was incredibly special. Their personalities shined bright and made the tour and visit so special. They truly educated us and we learned a lot. The storyteller could really spin the tales about the "little people", gnomes, etc. Our "old man" historian was a kick in the pants playing the "old man" and verbally sparing with us. The young man from ASU was a great sport as we teased him and bounced our questions off of him! All in good humor but a great addition to the fabulous tour! The Christmas carolers added to the Christmas spirit and we're amazingly talented!

Beautiful architecture and interesting house to explore. Love the history of this house. Worth checking out!

Really beautiful house with rich history. Definitely worth a visit. There is a nice park next door. Also, they had Apple cider, cookies, and a few really nice vendors outside. My 3 year old loved it!

Just walked around it to view. Wanted to see because of the proximity of where of the Grahams was shot toward the end of the Pleasant Valley War. Interesting history

Very Rare Authentic Victorian Style House Located within Tempe’s Petersen Park Neighborhood. Built in 1892 as the home for Prominent Tempe Rancher Niels Petersen and his wife Susanna. Constructed by Renowned Architect, James Creighton, it was one the most Elegant rural homes in the Salt River Valley. This two-story Queen Anne Victorian-Style House features a Wrap-Around Front Porch, Various Custom Ornate Finishes throughout the Interior, and Ample Space for Entertaining. It is conveniently located just two miles from Downtown Tempe.

Very well kept field. The stadium is built out of cement, lots of bathroom stalls, not a bad setup. As with most venues, expect to have your bag to be inspected. If you are a cameraman or something other, then a standard attendee. This venue does not allow tinted clear bags, only clear. Dimensions allowed are 12"x12"x5. Anything outside of these requirements will not be allowed, and there is no check-in location. You will need to take your bag back to your car. There are a few exceptions, of course, like medical reasons and strollers, etc, but you still have to follow certain guidelines. This is not a reentry venue either. So once you enter, you can not exit unless you want to pay for another ticket. If I they are available. Umbrellas and other shade items are not allowed except for very small umbrellas. Parking is alongside streets and there are a couple of small parking areas. Typically, parking is not a problem on weeknight games. Currently, the media box is a covered table and tent in the back of the stadium seating. Your back is to the sunset, which helps with evening games to keep things a little cooler. The ticket box is to the right of the gates and is a smaller cylindrical building, mostly windowed. If you have will call tickets, they send you the ticket via text once you prove your identity, so be sure to bring proof. They then send you a text with a scan link so you can go through the metal detectors and entry like online purchases of tickets.

Poor ingress, took way to long to get into the stadium for an soccer game I attended this week. Two metal detectors for a facility with a capacity over 2,000 seats is insufficient. Also the game I attended was significantly over sold resulting in a lot of people who had to stand the entire game haveing a less than ideal experience. They should add additional seating behind the goals in order accomodate fans more comfortably.

This is a decent stadium 🏟️; and it's home to some good, entertaining soccer. At minimum, the Sun Devil Soccer Stadium (and ASU's Women's soccer team) is worth a visit when in Tempe. We visited for the annual free game (at the beginning of the season), so I'm not sure what the costs are.

One of the nicest soccer and lacrosse facilities I have been to as an official. Can't speak to the stands since I have only ever been there on the field but they are raised up and seem to have a great view of the field. The grass is amazing and incredibly well taken care of. All events are well staffed with lots of people around to answer questions and provide directions. There's adjacent parking lots that provide convenient parking and a strip mall a short walk away that has a number of food restaurants and a trader Joe's. What's not to love?!

This is a pretty nice soccer stadium. Sits high so you can see the whole field. It had a concession stand to buy food and drinks and it also has restrooms...although it flooded and was closed half way through the game when we were there. It just needs more parking.

Ticketing system is ridiculous. With all the upgrades going on you would think they would put three person booth building and better credit card service for tickets. Other then that great experience.

ASU is horrible uofa on top, bear down🐻⬇️

Big party on st Patrick's day

Great places for a night out or day which less crowded. Great place to find all kinds of good bites and drinks. Was easy for my Uber to find me.

The manager is very enthusiastic and friendly about his work. The old school music has a filme vibe and the place and food is proper

If wanting a place like this but more mature go to ol town Scottsdale

Looks like turning into Chicago on the weekends

Great place great location love it

Hopefully it will be like this again come December

We had an excellent time at ASU powwow. I also love seeing alum plaques like Velasquez, Frye, Severn, and Hendo.

The arena was nice. Parking was ok. But the real and only issues were the employees. The hospitality staff was horrible and hostile and very RUDE. They wouldn't listen because they all were on a power trip.

Arizona State University new student move-in today! Everything flowed very well. Desert Financial is The on campus Resource for students if they need those services. I spoke with Chris. Who is a representative. But we were there strictly to move my daughter into her dorms, but everything was very well organized. I hope this helps.

I was here on 11/17/23 for the Oregon vs ASU volleyball game. It was a nice venue for it's age with plenty of capacity for our event. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained and descent selection of concessions. I look forward to coming back for other events.

For the graduation ceremony for May 19, 2025 at night, the best thing was the safe car exits. The staff in the lobby/hallway were very kind and respectful. The staff for seating/outside were very rude, snappy and not polite. We couldn't bring in nothing really besides a bouquet of flowers Majority of families congratulations posters were throw away rudely by staff, personal water bottles taken a way, balloons snatch from families, we couldn't bring our small or any size purses however there was many other people that had purses and their personal drinks. It was unfair treatment and disrespect. When it came to seating the seats were very stiff with no leg space and the steps were steep. And 2 staff members were very rude when it came to seating. The way some of them treated parents and families coming to witness their family member graduate, wasn't there for all that extra disrespect or high security rules. I think the high school organizers got to be more clear on what's is and not expected for the event to avoid the hassle.

Old school stadium. Great atmosphere even at 50% capacity. Cheap student section food carts, decent food selection otherwise.

Fantastic place at ASU for graduation ceremony.

Poor excuse for a arboretum, especially for a university. Less than an acre of plants. Most id. tags were missing or unreadable. The tags that were there provided little information. Lots of dead plants. Not worth the effort to go, even though admission is free. If you do go, don't pay for more than a hour of parking.

This is not an arboretum. It’s a small outdoor events center with a handful of cactus and plants on the sides located at the ASU campus, which this review is NOT about. I’ve seen more plants in front of many private homes in this area. Google map is misleading.

The university has let the arboretum fall to shambles. The plant markers are bleached out.

Always a fun time @ tailgate party before ASU football game.

Really really really good for a I hike and a lot of good people :)

Definitely not an arboretum. More of a path going by cacti and ugly view of Tempe buildings

It's just a beautiful comfortable place to be👍😀
