During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mystery Castle
Built for a daughter who longed for a castle more permanent than those built in sand at the beach, Mystery Castle is a wondrous work of folk-art architecture. Boyce Luther Gulley, who had come to Arizona in hopes of curing his tuberculosis, constructed the castle during the 1930s and early 1940s using stones from the property. The resulting 18-room fantasy has 13 fireplaces, parapets, and many other unusual touches. Tours are usually led by Mary Lou Gulley, the daughter for whom the castle was built.
Heard Museum
The Heard Museum is one of the nation's finest museums dealing exclusively with Native American cultures and is an ideal introduction to the indigenous peoples of Arizona. The extensive exhibit Native Peoples of the Southwest examines the culture of each of the major tribes of the region and includes a Navajo hogan, an Apache wickiup, and a Hopi corn-grinding display. In the Katsina Doll Gallery, you'll get an idea of the number of different kachina spirits that populate the Hopi and Zuni religions, while the Crossroads Gallery offers a fascinating look at contemporary Native American art. On many weekends, there are performances by singers and dancers, and throughout the week, artists demonstrate their work. Guided tours are offered daily. The annual Indian Fair and Market, held on the first weekend in March, includes traditional dances along with arts and crafts.The museum also operates Heard Museum North, at El Pedregal Festival Marketplace, 34505 N. Scottsdale Rd., in Carefree. This gallery features changing exhibits and is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5:30pm and Sunday from noon to 5pm. Admission is $3 for adults and is free for children 12 and under.
CrackerJax Family Fun & Sports Park
Two miniature-golf courses are the main attraction here, but you'll also find a driving range, a professional putting course for grown-up golfers, batting cages, go-cart tracks, a bumper-boat lagoon, and a video-game arcade.
Gold Canyon Golf Resort
Unless you're an avid golfer, this place is going to seem way too far out of the city. However, if you just want to play golf, then this older resort at the foot of the Superstition Mountains is a great choice. Located way out on the east side of the valley near Apache Junction (at least a 30- to 45-min. drive from the airport), Gold Canyon is a favorite of devoted golfers who come to play some of the most scenic holes in the state. Although nongolfers will appreciate the scenery, the small pool and the lack of an exercise room make it clear that golfers, not swimmers, take the fore here. The spacious guest rooms are housed in blindingly white pueblo-inspired buildings; some have fireplaces, while others have whirlpools. The deluxe golf-course rooms are definitely worth the higher rates. The limited dining options here and in the immediate vicinity are a drawback, but if golf is your game and you've just got to play the Dinosaur Mountain course, then the lack of menu variety shouldn't matter too much.
Embassy Suites Phoenix/Scottsdale
With its stylish, contemporary interior decor, this is one of the area's few hotels that will appeal to hip, young, travelers. Of course, this place doesn't have nearly the buzz of the new James Hotel in Old Town Scottsdale, it does provide plenty of space in its suites and great views of nearby mountains. As soon as you see the dyed concrete floor and unusual wall sculpture in the lobby, you'll know that this is not your standard business hotel. However, it might be difficult to take your eyes off the views across Stonecreek Golf Course to Camelback Mountain, Mummy Mountain, and Piestewa Peak, and those views just get better the higher up you go (be sure to ask for a room on the south side of an upper floor). Keep in mind that this is an all-suite property; the two-room accommodations are very spacious and come complete with galley kitchens.
JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa
With 950 rooms, this is the largest resort in the state and stays crowded with conference groups, which can leave vacation travelers feeling a bit overlooked. Still, if you just want to spend some time in the sun drinking margaritas by the pool and not venturing out to explore the city, this place is great. It has been designed to make sure guests want for nothing and has such a wide range of restaurants (including a Roy's from Hawaii and a Starbucks), that you can spend several days here without leaving the property and not feel as though you're missing anything. There are also 4 acres of water features and pools (including a tubing "river") and a large spa with its own lap pool. At the resort's grand entrance, desert landscaping and rows of palm trees give the resort a sense of place, and the roll-up walls of the multilevel lobby let plenty of balmy desert air in during the cooler months. Guest rooms have balconies and hints of Mediterranean styling and are designed primarily for business travelers. Be sure to ask for a room with a view to the south; these rooms look out to several of Phoenix's mountain preserves. Personally, I think this place is just way too big, but I've heard you can get some great rates on Priceline.com.Facilities: 5 restaurants (Southwestern, Hawaiian fusion, Italian, steakhouse, healthy); 2 snack bars/cafes; 3 lounges; 5 pools; 2 18-hole golf courses; 8 tennis courts; health club; full-service spa; 2 Jacuzzis; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning.
