What to do while you're in Phoenix

Heard Museum External Site
Heritage & Science Park External Site
The Desert Botanical Gardens External Site

Visit the internationally acclaimed Heard Museum External Site, one of the best places to experience the myriad cultures and art of Native Americans of the Southwest. With a commanding presence on Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix, the museum hosts nearly 250,000 visitors a year.

Each spring, more than 20,000 visitors experience The Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market External Site is an unrivaled experience that brings together the finest Native artists against a backdrop of entertainment and food. We are fortunate to be in Phoenix during this outstanding event on March 4 & 5, 2006.

Heritage & Science Park External Site is a City of Phoenix Park which consists of Historic Heritage Square (home of the 1895 Rosson House External Site and various historic buildings that house museums and restaurants), Phoenix Museum of History and The Arizona Science Center.

Nestled amid the red buttes of Papago Park, The Desert Botanical Gardens External Site hosts one of the world's finest collections of desert plants. One of only 44 botanical gardens accredited by the American Association of Museums, this one-of-a-kind museum showcases 50 acres of beautiful outdoor exhibits.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West External Site. American architect Frank Lloyd Wright loved Arizona and it was in northeast Scottsdale that he created one of his most stunning masterpieces, Taliesin West, a complex of buildings that served as his personal home, studio and architectural campus from 1937 until his death in 1959.

The Arizona Fine Art Expo External Site is an excellent opportunity to watch artisans sketch in pencil, charcoal, and pastels, sculpt clay for pottery or bronzes, sculpt jewelry, carve stone sculptures, paint in watercolors, acrylics and oils or watch them fire clay for ceramics, blow glass sculptures, assemble mixed media sculptures and much, much more.
