Children will be able to run, explore and learn at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix. This hands-on museum will feature art, science and fun all rolled into one family-friendly experience. The museum is scheduled to open to the public in the summer of 2008.

If you like surprises, Birchett Park in Tempe is for you. This park very small, and includes a few benches, some grass and a number of trees. Many people pass by it every day without realizing it's there. Yet to stop and gather one's thoughts or have a bit of conversation before a show, this hidden gem of a park is fabulous.
