Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting
6101 E Van Buren StAWESOME AND FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
The Phoenix Art Museum has a permanent collection covering the art of the European Renaissance and Baroque period, the Far East, and the American West. The museum also presents modern and contemporary works, fashion design, live performances, and films.
The classically progressive look of its 203,000-square-foot building is a work of art in itself. Designed by New York architects Tod Williams/Billie Tsien & Associates in the mid 1990s and expanded by them in 2006, it integrates art and architecture with the southwestern landscape.
The museum's founding in 1959 and eventual development into one of the leading art museums in the American Southwest reflects the constant commitment from the community and mirrors the growth of Phoenix from a small desert town to the current metropolis it has become.

Located in Papago Park, the Desert Botanical Garden is a beautiful complex that combines art and nature. Art installations dot the gardens, adding another dimension to this beautiful space.
The 140-acre complex is home to tens of thousands of plants, and displays examples of vegetation from deserts around the world. This is also a good place to spot hummingbirds and butterflies, with designated gardens designed to attract these creatures.
Extensive trails wind their way around the property, and you should plan on spending a significant amount of time walking. The spring is a particularly good time to visit, as the plants come to life and bloom in an array of colors.

North Mountain Preserve is a popular recreational area with all kinds of hiking trails. North Mountain stands at an elevation of 2,104 feet, and Shaw Butte, the tallest mountain in the preserve, stands at 2,149 feet. Together these mountains are a landmark feature in Phoenix.
The more advanced hiking trails in the preserve lead to the summit, but easier hikes offer access to all levels of abilities. This is a lovely way to experience the local flora and fauna, with many plant species, including saguaro cactus.
Be sure to stop in at the North Mountain Visitors Center to get the latest updates on the trails, learn about the local history, get some insight on the flora and fauna, and top up your water bottles.
