Hidden in an unassuming warehouse building, a labyrinth of galleries exhibits thousands of paintings and sculptures from the Basha family's private collection. I spend hours there upon each visit. Admission is free, so please donate generously. It will be the most extraordinary collection of western art that you will ever see!

Yesterday was my 2nd time at the Hawaiian Experience Spa and I could not have been more pleased. I had a lavender scrub/massage with Nicole and she was amazing with her magical hands. The first time was a Couples massage with my boyfriend and we were both very relaxed and pampered. I highly recommend this spa and will most certainly be back soon. What more could one want? Being pampered in a very clean, professional and relaxing atmosphere. The showers are simply heavenly.

In the heart of downtown Chandler is this very unique shop filled with interesting items. Most of the products are handmade by local artisans...a real treat for tourists. There are paintings, ceramic crafts, jewelry, pottery, baskets, and even books written by locals. Occasionally, the store will host a local author for a talk and book signing. We never miss a chance to bring our out-of-town guests here, but we also go there whenever we are downtown. The displays change frequently, so there is always something new to see. The staff is friendly and willing to share information about local artists and authors. The shop sponsors special events occasionally in conjunction with Chandler's festivals.

Merchant Square is the greatest antique mall in Arizona. Plan on spending a few hours as you peruse the aisles of history, eclectic decor, vintage wares, and antiques. When you need a break, enjoy some barbecue in the onsite eatery. Kids, dogs, and treasure hunters are welcome. A great place to shop with out-of-town friends and family.

This place is amazing. One vendor told me they are treated like family. There is an amazing amount of time each spends on their nook to make it interesting and unique. Try the honey! Yum! A great mix of vintage, yard sale, new, and craft items. The transformation from Oct to Nov was magical, I didn't expect it to change so much!
6. ESCAPE:chandler
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 16 reviews
We are a new, family-friendly escape room venue, the first of its kind in Chandler, Arizona. We are family-owned and independently operated. We developed a love of playing escape rooms as a family, and thought it was just not right that Chandler didn't have one of it's own, so here we are! We also host corporate team building events, private parties, birthday parties, meetings and family functions! If you aren't sure what the heck an escape room is (also known as quest or breakout game), it is an interactive live adventure game in which players discover hidden clues and unravel puzzles in order to solve a mystery and exit the room in 60 minutes (or less!). Each of our rooms has a theme or background story that will keep you engaged and entertained. Our rooms are all family friendly, and provide a great way to spend some quality time together. So bring your family, friends, and co-workers to ESCAPE:chandler. We promise that no matter what your age, you will have a great time!

Have taken shuttle to this spa a few times and it is a wonderful experience every time. Very beautifully decorated, helpful spa workers and it is a peaceful place. The locker area has everything you could want to feel pampered - slippers/ robes / amenities and an attendant. There are ladies only areas for spa areas and a beautiful heated pool area that you can order great drinks or food. The massages are very good and relaxing and this place is a must getaway while you are in the area.
