I visited the Arizona Center to catch a movie while in Phoenix and it happened to be at night. I caught the Light rail mass transit train system to downtown Phoenix. I reached the Arizona Center about an hour early for my show so I decided to walk around a bit. There were tall Palm Trees wrapped in white miniature... More

This mall has TONS of potential, but unfortunately is going through hard times. The location is good, located right downtown Phoenix, however about 50% of the stores are empty, there is no food court, and while seemingly new, seems to be in poor repair. We visited on a Saturday. First, you have to pay for parking, which is a little... More

We were staying at the Sheraton Downtown and visited several times since it was adjacent. There are several tasty casual restaurants and tourist oriented shops. The real bell ringer is what they've done with their gardens. During the day is a wonderful oasis from the city with abundant shade, well manicured and designed paths, and numerous ponds and innovative fountains.... More
