EDIT 12/13/17- For some reason the Yelp Gods changed my listing from the correct "PhxArt Project:…read moreCityScape" to "CityScape Phoneix". Lol I'm not sure who was put in charge of this listing but Phoenix isn't even spelled right so be aware of the correct name for the shop and the correct websites: http://www.phxart.org/project http://www.cityscapephoenix.com/events/phxartproject-cityscape-presented-by-the-phoenix-art-museum/ From November 24 to January 7, the Phoenix Art Museum has a pop up shop selling gift items, with performances and special exhibitions for display. The shop is spacious and the items were all very unique and would make cute or funny gifts. They could probably fit some more items in this space for sale but it was a fun store to browse in while we were at Cityscape. The installation at the shop when I was here was Saskia Jordá's Cacerolazo. If you're at Cityscape it's worth a stop since you get a shopping experience and get to see some modern art all in the same place.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The entire house has been restored to represent how the original owners would have it set up as closely as possible. The inside details are gorgeous and intricate. Our tour ended up being more like 45 minutes because it was just us and we didn't ask questions. It was a great way to spend a little bit of time before our next activity.

It creates a beautiful environment that not many can experience outside of Arizona, and it is highly recommended to visit for anyone that is seeking a quiet, peaceful, calm, and beautiful setting with jaw dropping scenery. I went with one of my close friends and we both enjoyed the experience we shared. There were benches around to sit and admire the views, along with bridges to get a closer look at the koi fish and ducks. However, the best part was how many ducklings there were following their mamas. I had never seen anything like it, and it was truly an experience to remember.

The garden is well maintained and organized, quiet place for give yourself quiet time and meditation. The garden is not that big place to walk around, but it's definitely worth it if you feel like need to escape and looking for nature therapy--this is the one! Give yourself more time to sit back and enjoy the greenery. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! I will definitely come back again soon.

In a small intimate theater, portrayed as The Library, one actor takes 5 shots of their drink of choice while still acting out the play Romeo and Juliet. It's a mix of comedy, improv, and ridiculousness that also allows for audience participation. The actors were amazing while being able to change the direction of the story. We had the convenience of ordering drinks and snacks right from our seats and having them delivered. We had a great time full of laughs! I highly recommend this hidden gem if you're looking to do something off the beaten path! Great for date nights, ladies night out, bachelor and bachelorette parties, you name it. If you're looking for something inappropriate, look no further lol!

There's a spot for photos at the bottom of the elevators. That was cute! Then the elevator opens up right in front of the bar and hostess stand. We checked in and were seated pretty quickly. All seating was out in the patio area and it was filled up if I remember correctly. There may have been a few open tables. We ordered 1 drink each and then went to the next spot. The cocktails come in a Christmas themed mug. One friend ordered a beer so that just came in a normal cup. My other friend ordered a tequila sprite but they put that in a mug. I believe I ordered Jingle Balls Nog. I can't remember if I liked it or not though. There are a few more spots for photo ops here but it's a small space overall. Smaller than I thought it would be. They had some Christmas lights up and some other decor but it wasn't anything crazy. The first thing we all noticed as soon as we were seated was that it was wayyy too bright! Not from the Christmas lights but from the normal lighting around the place. It would give off a better vibe if it wasn't so bright.

Whenever I visit the ASU Downtown Campus, I always find myself walking through the Civic Space…read morePark. This is a park with a lot of potential as there is a nice grassy area, some tables and chairs next to the US Post Office and ASU Student Center, a beautiful sculpture, and other places to hold an event and escape from the heat. At the same time, the Civic Space Park in recent years has been overrun with the homeless who find their own spaces on the east side of the park and sometimes elsewhere in the park. This has led to some safety concerns from ASU students and their families as many students have to walk across the park to get from the Sun Devil Fitness Complex or the Fusion on First upper-division residence hall across to the rest of the ASU Downtown Campus. There have also been a number of altercations over the last few years between multiple homeless and occasionally between a homeless person and a student. I have seen groups of students and even community members holding events in the park either in front of the Student Center entrance at the tables and chairs (gatherings by students or staff), on the grassy lawn area (community members playing soccer, frisbee, or having a picnic), or even on the south side of the walkway (though the lighting wasn't very good in the evening in that area). Again, it may be a challenge if some of the homeless community members try to engage at these events with the students, staff, and/or community members. Another challenge we learned is that it isn't the role of ASU Police or Phoenix Police to monitor the park. Rather there are park rangers who are responsible for doing so, which adds some complications as the rest of the ASU campus is supported by ASU Police and on occasion, by Phoenix Police. If you look at other reviews of Civic Space Park, it is difficult to find one that doesn't highlight the famous sculpture known as "Her Secret is Patience." In fact, I recall doing a photo shoot about 12 years ago under the sculpture at Civic Space Park. This sculpture is a public art sculpture commission that was designed for the city of Phoenix. The sculpture consists of painted, galvanized steel, polyester twine netting, and colored lights. Again, the space has a lot of potential though due to safety reasons, there is some work to be done to really prepare this park to meet its full potential.

The valley is very fortunate to have such a legit place for the EDM scene to thrive. It is, hands down, my favorite place in the valley to dance. All the elements are locked in here. Why, because the Walter group knows what's up. This Burning Man camp turned local Phx business, or other way around, I'm not sure, but nonetheless, does things right. The space itself is well organized-- the art gallery is when you first walk in, art cars & other art installations or artwork are spread throughout the warehouse. There are areas for hanging out and seating spread around and I've experienced many excellent viewpoints of the stage. The sound system is so nice with bumping bass for the amazing DJs that come through, and the lasers & lights make me happy. They have reasonable priced bar & food options, and they provide igloo coolers of cold water for free, available off the side of the bar. Which doesn't seem like a big deal but making sure people are drinking water is important when dancing all night. The venue cares about people who come there. There's a patio out back when you need to take a breather. Plenty of restrooms and they usually have AC & fans blasting when it's busy and/ or hot in there. It's a safe place to dance with respectful people who come here-- there to enjoy the art & vibes, have a great time dancing or enjoying the flow arts with fantastic DJs. I always meet cool people when I come here and I appreciate the staff

We visited on a Wednesday after 3pm...it's pay what you can and they're open til 8pm so that also added to parking congestion. No pressure to pay/donate but they did let us know the normal price. We opted to pay $5 vs. the regular $28 per person. I primarily wanted to visit the Yayoi Kusama room but loved the butterfly installation and the tiny rooms as well. They have a nice variety of art work overall. There were some areas that were closed off due to a private event, so didn't get to visit all exhibits and they also have some additional pay areas too. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

I felt the adult price of $28 was too high, especially as a couple -- that's almost $60 for a day out of looking at some pictures. They do offer a AAA $3 discount, which we took advantage of. KUMSAMA FIREFLIES INFINITY MIRROR ROOM My favorite part was the Kusama Fireflies Infinity Mirror Room, where you wander into a room of darkness surrounded by mesmerizing twinkling lights and mirrors. I wasn't aware that this was there, so it was a pleasant surprise. LAYOUT I felt the museum has a slightly confusing, disjointed layout. GIFT SHOP There's a quality gift shop selling typical art museum items like jewelry, scarves, mugs, etc. LOCKERS There are complimentary lockers for backpacks/purses and water.
