During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Arizona Science Center
So, the kids weren't impressed with the botanical garden of the Native American artifacts at the Heard Museum. Bring 'em here. They can spend the afternoon pushing buttons, turning knobs, and otherwise interacting with all kinds of cool science exhibits. In the end, they might even learn something in spite of all the fun they had. The science center also includes a planetarium and a large-screen theater, both of which carry additional charges.

Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Scottsdale may be obsessed with art featuring lonesome cowboys and solemn Indians, but this boldly designed museum makes it clear that patrons of contemporary art are also welcome here. Cutting-edge art, from the abstract to the absurd, fills the galleries, with exhibits rotating every few months. In addition to the main building, there are several galleries in the adjacent Scottsdale Center for the Arts, which also has a pair of Dale Chihuly art-glass installations. The museum shop is full of beautiful items, most of which will fit in your suitcase.7374 E. Second St., Scottsdale. tel. 480/994-ARTS. www.smoca.org. Admission $7 adults, $5 students, free for children 15 and under; free on Thurs. Tues-Wed and Fri-Sat 10am-5pm; Thurs 10am-8pm; Sun noon-5pm. Bus: 41, 50, or 72. Also accessible via Scottsdale Trolley shuttle bus.

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park
If you or your kids happen to like trains, you won't want to miss this park. On the grounds are restored cars and engines, two old railway depots, model railroad layouts operated by a local club, and, best of all, a 5/12-scale model railroad that takes visitors around the park. There's also a 1929 carousel and a general store.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Phoenix area, including:

Embassy Suites Biltmore
Located across the parking lot from the Biltmore Fashion Park (Phoenix's most upscale shopping center), this hotel makes a great base if you want to be within walking distance of half a dozen good restaurants. The enormous atrium is filled with interesting tile work and other artistic Southwestern touches, as well as tropical greenery, waterfalls, and ponds filled with koi (colorful Japanese carp). The hotel's atrium also houses the breakfast area and a romantic lounge with huge banquettes shaded by palm trees. Unfortunately, the rooms, all suites, are dated and a bit of a letdown, but they're certainly large. All in all, this hotel is a good value, especially when you consider that rates include both breakfast and afternoon drinks.Facilities: Restaurant (steakhouse); lounge; outdoor pool; exercise room; access to nearby health club; Jacuzzi; children's programs; concierge; courtesy car; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.

Hermosa Inn
This luxurious boutique hotel, once a guest ranch, is now one of the few hotels in the Phoenix area to offer a bit of Old Arizona atmosphere, and every time I arrive here, I breathe a great big sigh of relief. This place is all about Southwest style and getting a little peace and quiet. Originally built in 1930 as the home of cowboy artist Lon Megargee, the inn is situated on more than 6 acres of neatly landscaped gardens in an upscale residential neighborhood. I love it that this place is luxurious, yet feels completely removed from the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale's big, touristy resorts. The only other place with this sort of tranquil feel is the nearby Royal Palms, which has more of a service-oriented resort feel. Rooms vary from cozy to spacious and are individually decorated in tastefully contemporary Western decor. The largest suites, which have more Southwestern flavor than just about any other rooms in the area, incorporate a mixture of contemporary and antique furnishings. The dining room, located in the original adobe home, serves excellent food in a rustic, upscale setting.

Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort
With its low-rise design and textured-block construction, this resort gives a bow to the pioneering architectural style of Frank Lloyd Wright, and thus stands out from comparable resorts in the area. Built around several courtyards containing swimming pools, bubbling fountains, and gardens with desert landscaping, the property has much the look and feel of the nearby Hyatt Regency Scottsdale (although on a less grandiose scale and at more bearable room rates). Mature palm trees lend a sort of Moorish feel to the grounds and cast fanciful shadows in the gardens. Accommodations have a very contemporary feel, with lots of blond wood and, in some cases, high ceilings that make the rooms feel particularly spacious. With its distinctive styling and convenient location, this is an excellent close-in choice.Facilities: 2 restaurants (Southwestern, American); lounge; snack bar; 2 outdoor pools; putting green; 2 tennis courts; 2 racquetball courts; exercise room; 2 Jacuzzis; saunas; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
