Scottsdale has more spas per capita than any other city in the U.S.—so whether you’re looking for the latest medi-spa technology or a new-agey, bohemian vibe, there’s sure to be something for you. It's a good thing, too—after spending all day touring the beautiful desert, you'll be grateful for some pampering.

Good day to everyone, please checkout the art exhibits that are highlighted in the "KING" gallery, Creations of love I've attached just a few so if you are in Scottsdale visit the place. Lovely people within the establishment working diligently with new restrictions is not easy. I stopped and proceed with my gifts to share unfortunately cannot afford a place to call home let alone purchase fine art for display so I post beautiful as I go about my own. Thanks for the exceptionally thoughtful gestures. My life's ora not washed off deck just hidden deeper into my portrait... Happy Merry Christmas & New Year. Online purchases are packed and shipped out by the finest, insured and will arrive safely. Much work is involved so Thanks for the commitment Mr. KING!!!

Scottsdale Historical Museum

This old school house features exhibits on Scottsdale's history, including its founding father Winfield Scott.

Reviewed By 411Shirley - Kenmore, United States

We really enjoyed this little museum. The building used to be the school house so includes a sample classroom you can view. You can even ring the old schoolhouse bell (and it's really loud)! The museum also includes pictures of the town in it's younger years as well as memorabilia. The Museum is free. It's worth a stop.

Fiesta Bowl Museum

Reviewed By rduinc - Saint Louis, United States

This is a very nice, FREE museum located not far from Fashion Square so great place for football fans to hang out while others are shopping. It is not very large, but gives a great history of the beginnings of the Fiesta Bowl up to current time. I really enjoyed the wall filled with football helmets of all the college football teams as well as the memorabilia from the early days. The staff is super friendly, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. This is a hidden treasure and a must do while visiting Scottsdale.

You need to do some advance reading about James Turrell to have some pre understanding of his art work present here as a permanent installation Please do that The museum itself currently has a show on video art- you either love the medium or hate it Take a look and make up your own mind
