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

Arizona State University Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center
Although it isn't very large, this museum is memorable for its innovative architecture and excellent temporary exhibitions. With its purplish-gray stucco facade and pyramidal shape, the stark, angular building conjures up images of sunsets on desert mountains. The entrance is down a flight of stairs that leads to a cool underground garden area. Inside are galleries for crafts, prints, contemporary art, and Latin American art, along with outdoor sculpture courts and a gift shop. The collection of American art includes works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and Frederic Remington. Definitely a must for both art and architecture fans. Across the street is the Ceramics Research Center and Gallery, which showcases the university's extensive collection of fine art ceramics and is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. This latter center is another place not to miss. You just won't believe the amazing creativity on display here.

Deer Valley Rock Art Center
Located in the Hedgepeth Hills in the northwest corner of the Valley of the Sun, the Deer Valley Rock Art Center preserves an amazing concentration of Native American petroglyphs, some of which date back 5,000 years. Although these petroglyphs may not at first seem as impressive as those at more famous sites, the sheer numbers make this a fascinating spot. The drawings, which range from simple spirals to much more complex renderings of herds of deer, are on volcanic boulders along a quarter-mile trail. An interpretive center provides background information on this site and on rock art in general. From October through April, there are guided tours Saturdays at 10am and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm. From May through September, there are tours on Saturdays at 7:30am.

Cosanti
This complex of cast-concrete structures served as a prototype and learning project for architect Paolo Soleri's much grander Arcosanti project, currently under construction north of Phoenix (see "En Route to Northern Arizona," later in this chapter). It's here at Cosanti that Soleri's famous bells are cast, and most weekday mornings you can see the foundry in action. Visit between 9:30 and 12:30 for the best chance of seeing bronze bells being poured.

Fiesta Inn Resort
Reasonable rates, green lawns, palm- and eucalyptus-shaded grounds, and a location close to the airport, ASU, and Tempe's Mill Avenue make this older, casual resort one of the best deals in the valley. Okay, so it doesn't have the desert character of The Wyndham Buttes Resort across the freeway, and it isn't as stylish as the resorts in Scottsdale, but you can't argue with the rates. The large guest rooms, although a bit dark, have an appealing retro mission styling. You may not feel like you're in the desert when you stay here (due to the lawns and shade trees), but you'll certainly get a lot more for your money than at other area hotels in this price range.

Pointe South Mountain Resort
Oh to be a kid again! If I were a 12-year-old, I would insist, no, demand, that my parents bring me to this resort. Then I would spend all day every day of my vacation playing in the pool. Located on the south side of the valley, this sprawling resort abuts the 17,000-acre South Mountain Park, and is one of the best choices in the valley for families. The resort's Oasis water park (complete with a wave pool, a tubing "river," a twisty water slide, and two free-fall-style water slides that are the tallest at any resort in the state), is a huge hit with kids. With stables right at the resort, you and the kids can also ride into the sunset on South Mountain. There are even spa programs for girls and kids' golf and tennis programs. Adult golfers will enjoy the resort's course, which has an island green on the 18th hole. The guest rooms, all suites, feature contemporary Southwestern furnishings and lots of space. There's a wide range of restaurant choices, including Rustler's Rooste, a cowboy steakhouse that serves rattlesnake appetizers.Facilities: 6 restaurants (steakhouse, Mexican, Southwestern, International); 3 lounges; 11 outdoor pools (including 6-acre water park); 18-hole golf course; 5 tennis courts; basketball and volleyball courts; racquetball court; health club; full-service spa; 3 Jacuzzis; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; pro shop; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms; horseback riding.

The Wigwam Resort
Located 20 minutes west of downtown Phoenix and more than twice as far from Scottsdale, this property opened its doors to the public in 1929 and remains one of the nation's premier golf resorts. It's a classic, with old-school gentility, but when the money all headed to Scottsdale, this place was left feeling like an island amid the affordable housing of the west Valley. As at the Arizona Biltmore and the Camelback Inn, this is an old-money sort of place, and the traditional-style golf courses are the main reason most people choose this resort, which, although elegant, is set amid flat lands that lack the stunning desert scenery of the Scottsdale area. Most of the guest rooms are in Santa Fe-style buildings, surrounded by green lawns and colorful gardens, and all of the spacious units feature contemporary Southwestern furniture. Some units have fireplaces, but the rooms to request are those along the golf course. The Wigwam has a very traditional feel about it. In 2003, the resort underwent an extensive renovation that gave this gracefully aging golf resort a fresh new look.Facilities: 3 restaurants (Southwestern, American); 2 lounges; 2 pools; 3 18-hole golf courses; 9 tennis courts; croquet court; health club; spa services; 2 Jacuzzis; bikes; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
