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

Arizona Doll & Toy Museum
This small museum is located in the historic Stevens House on Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix. The miniature classroom peopled by doll students is a favorite exhibit. With dolls dating from the 19th century, this is a definite must for doll collectors.

Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum
The world's largest firefighting museum houses a fascinating collection of vintage firetrucks. The displays date from a 1725 English hand pumper to several classic engines from the 20th century. All are beautifully restored and, of course, fire-engine red (mostly). In all, there are more than 90 vehicles on display.

Desert Botanical Garden
Located in Papago Park adjacent to the Phoenix Zoo and devoted exclusively to cacti and other desert plants, this botanic garden displays more than 20,000 plants from all over the world. The Plants and People of the Sonoran Desert Trail is the state's best introduction to ethnobotany (human use of plants) in the Southwest. Along the trail are interactive displays that demonstrate how Native Americans once used wild and cultivated plants. You can make a yucca-fiber brush and practice grinding corn and mesquite beans. At the Center for Desert Living, there are demonstration gardens and an energy- and water-conservation research house. On the Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Trail, you'll find an ever-changing palette of colorful wildflowers throughout much of the year. If you come late in the day, you can stay until after dark and see night-blooming flowers and dramatically lit cacti. A cafe on the grounds serves good food and makes a great lunch spot. In spring and fall, there are also concerts in the garden. In early December, during Las Noches de las Luminarias, the gardens are lit at night by luminarias (candles inside small bags).

The Wyndham Buttes Resort
Located only 3 miles from Sky Harbor Airport, this resort makes the most of its craggy hilltop location, and although some people complain that the freeway in the foreground ruins the view, the rocky setting and desert landscaping leave no doubt you're in the Southwest. The only other resorts in the area with as much of a desert feel are Boulders and Four Seasons, both of which are quite a bit more expensive than this resort. From the cactus garden, stream, waterfall, and fishpond inside the lobby to the circular restaurant and free-form swimming pools, every inch of this resort is calculated to take your breath away. The pools (complete with waterfalls) and four whirlpools (one of which is the most romantic in the valley) are the best reasons to stay here. Guest rooms are stylishly elegant. The city-view rooms are a bit larger than the hillside-view rooms, but second-floor hillside-view rooms have patios. Unfortunately for fans of long soaks, most bathrooms have only three-quarter-size tubs. The Top of the Rock restaurant snags the best view around, and sunset dinners are memorable.Facilities: 3 restaurants (New American/Southwestern, American, bar and grill); 3 lounges; 2 pools; 4 tennis courts; volleyball courts; exercise room; access to nearby health club; spa services; 3 Jacuzzis; sauna; bike rentals; concierge; business center; room service; massage; dry cleaning, executive-level rooms.

The Phoenician
Situated on 250 acres at the foot of Camelback Mountain, this palatial resort consistently ranks among the finest resorts in the world. If you must stay at the very best, this is it. However, the character here is international, not Arizonan, so if you're looking for a sense of place, this isn't the resort for you. Polished marble and sparkling crystal abound in the lobby, but the view of the valley through a long wall of glass is what commands most guests' attention. Service here is second to none. The pool complex, which includes a water slide for the kids, is one of the finest in the state, and the resort's Centre for Well Being offers all the spa pampering anyone could ever need. There are also 27 challenging holes of golf. Mary Elaine's is Phoenix's ultimate special-occasion restaurant. Guest rooms are as elaborate as the public areas and have large patios and sunken tubs for two. However, as luxurious as the rooms are, it's questionable whether they warrant the price tag.Facilities: 3 restaurants (French, Southwestern, Italian); 4 snack bars/cafes; lounge; 9 pools; 27-hole golf course; putting green; 12 tennis courts; health club and spa; Jacuzzi; lawn games; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hour room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.

Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch
From the colonnades of palm trees to the lobby walls that slide away, this luxurious resort is designed to impress and year after year continues to be my favorite Scottsdale resort. It's relatively close in, has interesting architecture, and beautiful grounds. What's not to love? A 2 1/2-acre water playground serves as the resort's focal point, and the extravagant complex of 10 interconnecting swimming pools includes a water slide, a sand beach, a water-volleyball pool, waterfalls, and a huge whirlpool spa. The grounds are planted with hundreds of palm trees that frame the gorgeous views of the distant McDowell Mountains; closer at hand, original works of art have been placed throughout the resort. Guest rooms are luxurious and are designed to reflect the desert location. The Golden Swan restaurant has an unusual sunken waterside gazebo, while Ristorante Sandolo features singing servers and after-dinner gondola rides. The resort's Native American and Environmental Learning Center provides a glimpse into Native American culture and the ecology of the Sonoran Desert. With its children's programs and "Lost Dutchman Mine," where kids can dig for buried treasure, this is a super choice for families.Facilities: 4 restaurants (New American, Southwestern, Italian); snack bar; 2 lounges; coffee bar; juice bar; 10 pools; 27-hole golf course (with lots of water hazards); 8 tennis courts; health club and spa; 3 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
