Bestie was in town and she had this genius idea to visit Wonderspaces Arizona. She's been to the…read moreSan Diego one twice and loved it, so I was excited to see what it's all about. This place is beyond cool! There are different rooms to experience, and each one is truly unique. I think I speak for us both when I say the one with the string lights was the most entertaining visually. The light show lasted about 15 minutes total from beginning to end. When you first walk in through the mall entrance, you'll end up at the bar area. Alex was so nice and very engaging. She answered our questions and whatever you order at the bar, you can bring it with you so don't feel confined to the bar area as you finish your drink! I got the School Rules (mocktail) and bestie got the Mango Colada. They were so good, I finished mine pretty quickly! One of the other exhibits that I enJOYed was the coin flipping one. Whoever thought of all this is amazing to say the least! The face display made out of different sized balls on strings was so cool to see, especially when you walked up to it and to the side of it. We don't have membership, but the older gentleman sitting near the bar informed us that if you pay the $99 fee, you can come as many times as you like and you'll get 20% off any merchandise. He was really informative and we appreciated that he wasn't trying to push it on us. I believe you can also bring a guest for a discounted fee. Some of the exhibits were not as entertaining as others, and I do wish there was more to see, but they do switch it up every couple of months so that would definitely be worth the membership. Don't forget to get your selfies in front of the huge mirror near the bar! I highly recommend coming here if you have out of town guests, or if you've just never been. The bonus is that it's located inside the Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale (same floor as the food court under the escalators), so you can have something to eat or walk around before or after Wonderspaces! It would be a cute date idea, too. I just may buy into the membership because the best part about it is that it does NOT automatically renew. So, if you don't like it, you won't have to worry about your account being charged. Good idea! Check out Wonderspaces Arizona and have so much fun!

We did the UFO Experience as we've already been to the aquarium. We wanted to eat lunch at Maria's, but they were closed (despite us being there during business hours).

Hoping they can get some additional viable businesses in here...

I absolutely love living in Old Town. I recently went to Scottsdazzle for the holiday lights, and I…read morealways have such a great time. It's really nice to see the community come together and have something fun to do. They had Santa and Mrs. Claus, the lights were beautiful as always, and it's pet-friendly and kid-friendly truly something for all ages. They also offer different activities, which makes it even better. The only downside is parking. Parking is a hassle, and if you park near the restaurants (since there's no assigned parking for the event), there are workers who will pressure you to pay to park so they don't call a tow truck. It honestly feels like a hustle depending on who you are or how you look, they'll charge anywhere from $5 to $25.

The Desert Botanical Garden is always a great place to go for a walk and experience the beauty of…read morethe desert. Every visit feels a little different depending on the season, and it's amazing to see all the different desert plants, wildlife, art installations, and water features throughout the garden. My wife especially loves coming here for gardening inspiration because this is one of the best places to see what actually thrives in a desert environment. One of the things that keeps us coming back is how often they rotate exhibits and events throughout the year. If you live nearby, a membership is absolutely worth it because just a few visits will pay for itself. Earlier this spring we visited during the FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse installation, which used 3D scanning technology to document desert life. The huge digital displays scattered throughout the garden added such a unique modern contrast to the natural scenery. They're currently hosting the Garden: After Dark exhibit with light installations integrated into the trails and cactus gardens. We visited during the daytime so we haven't experienced it firsthand yet, but it already looks incredible. Another highlight is the permanent Dale Chihuly glass exhibit near the entrance. If you're a fan of glass art or Chihuly's work, you'll definitely want to spend time checking it out. A few tips: definitely bring water, especially if you're visiting during the day. Thankfully there are several refill stations throughout the trails and plenty of shaded seating areas to rest. There's also Gertrude's near the main entrance along with a café deeper in the garden for snacks and lighter fare. The gift shop is also worth browsing before you leave. One of my favorite parts of every visit is the wildlife. On this trip alone we saw prairie dogs, quail, woodpeckers, doves, hummingbirds, and even a roadrunner. It's such a peaceful and beautifully maintained place that never gets old no matter how many times you visit.

They also hold events all through the year. I definitely recommend a membership if you're close-ish. I come often and it's definitely worth it and supports a great organization. If you see volunteers at any of the tables throughout the garden, take a moment to stop! They have interesting information and its fun to learn new things from them. The short guided tour is also worth doing.

It's such a great bonding opportunity and allows you to have fun with whoever you bring with phones down. Parking is NO issue at all at this location. They have so many spots available given the strip outlet location it's in. I do recommend not wearing any thick or heavy clothes and bringing as little items as possible, because you will be moving A LOT and sweating will be your enemy. They have a bar and restaurant as well, but we didn't get a chance to go. Definitely will be back, and next time need to go for 4 hours! I think we did 2 hours and it didn't feel like enough time.

Want to dance? Then go play Dance Dance Revolution! Want to play some multi-player basketball shooting games? They've got you covered! I could spend hours at Taroko! They also offer food and drinks, so maybe next time I will get some chicken wings to power me up for a few hours of game playing!

We visited this club Saturday, June 16th…read more I called ahead; asking about packages & hours the club gets busy. They answered all my questions and mentioned there was free entry with passes on their website. Most clubs are in rather seedy areas - but Sugar 44 almost looks out of place nestled between a McDonalds and a Wells Fargo. This is a very small club; and the free parking is commensurate with that. We arrived at about 8:30, and parking was available; but when we left a couple hours later, it was a bit difficult to get out. We felt safe despite the poor lighting. The club entrance is on the side, under an awning. This is a walk-in, seat yourself scenario; there are no hosts or people to bring you in. As you go in, the bar will be in front of you with a few TVs above showing sporting events. The bar appears to have seating for about 12 people. To the right of the entrance is the curtained VIP dance area. The DJ is visible to the side of the bar and the main floor continues on to the left. The floor is a bit crowded due to the small size and amount of furniture. We estimated about 12 tables flanking the small stage; which itself had seating for maybe 10 patrons. There is a single small stage at Sugar 44 with a single pole; enough room for a single dancer to do a good show without having to cover a lot of ground. The music was reasonably diverse & we appreciate diversity in all things; including dancers and music. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. We enjoy meeting and getting to know the staff at the clubs. Our server, Savannah I believe, showed up right away. We liked her. She took good care of us. Soda was $5, drinks $9-10. They didn't offer any sort of "date night" packages or small group offerings so we just ran a tab. They do have bottle service for large groups, though. The drink quality overall seemed ok. We like a real diversity in club talent; variations of styles, body shapes and sizes -- we really enjoy getting to talk to them and get a sense of their personalities. There was a pretty small pool of dancers when we arrived (understandable - we were early). Better by the time we left. Overall, we found the diversity and "quality" of dancers overall to be "fair". Most ethnicities were represented and there was a good range of body types; large and small breasts, short and tall ... what we didn't see were more to the extreme sides; the "beach blondes" nor "pierced tattooed bad ass brunettes" The Gal loves so much. The "girl next door" was missing too. We love great pole work and Sugar 44 is above average. Several dancers were extremely energetic and performed very well. The dancers as a whole were "6s" and "7s" with a few exceptions. The club is low pressure for us as a couple. We were only approached once and she was friendly. We bought her a drink and chatted her up. I wouldn't call it "couples friendly" - regulars got a lot of attention. Not recommended for first-time couples. No VIP this visit, but we did get information to share with you. VIP requires a $20 "wrist band". These grant you access to VIP areas. The dancers will then give you private VIP for $25/song. The songs do not seem "unnaturally shortened" here. There are also "Champagne Rooms". One VIP area has a large privacy curtain and appears to be able to service 8-10 guests; each have a very small divider between them. I am not sure it would be comfortable for couples in there. I'm hoping the area behind the DJ offers something more couple friendly. There are table/floor dances available at $10. We'll update this review when we actually get VIP time. The club is ok for couples; perhaps with repeat visits we'll get more attention like the "regulars" seemed to get. We were treated well by staff and talent. We will most likely be back.
