This community library is nestled to the south of the Saguaro Ranch Park an has a spill-over of peacocks, pea hens and seasonal chicks from the neighbors. Watch where you step. The structure is surrounded with a variety of low water plants with educational signs to encourage planting desert style and conserving water. I attended on a day when the local seed library was present, they set up in the lobby. You can check out different types of desert and food seeds and are encouraged to bring some back after your harvest. Inside the library the staff is helpful and the electronic card catalogs are easy to follow. The selection of media is broad and the children's section was active. Libraries are no longer the "hush spot" but there are quiet areas set aside. The library offers free cards for those in the City of Glendale, those outside that boundary are offered with a small fee. There is a busy calendar of events to check out, stop on by!
3. Cerreta Candy Co.

Cerreta Candy Company is so successful because they make candy that everyone wants. Nothing too fancy, and nothing too expensive. Everything they make is delicious and disappears as soon as they come through the front door. Their sugar free candy is a big hit with our diabetic family members, and the chocolate covered rice crispy treats our my personal favorites. Their white chocolate golfballs are a great gift for any golfer.

I enjoyed this tour. The stadium itself is quite interesting and the guide was good at engaging the entire tour group. One highlight was seeing the difference between the home team locker room and the visiting team locker room. Another was understanding how the real grass turf is rolled outdoors like a "giant lasagna pan". Seeing the press box and a luxury sweet were interesting. The only aggravation regarding this tour was Ticketmaster. Tickets are available on-site for no service fee but I was staying in another city and I knew tours could fill up so I had to use Ticketmaster. I believe the total cost was 250% of the list price due to all of the stupid fees!

We had a really good time watching hockey here. Food was fine, parking $$$ but easily accessible. Lots of energy in the stadium.

We have a full scale café serving gourmet coffee and pastries for breakfast, hearty sandwiches and flavorful salads for lunch, and fresh baked cookies and ice cream cones for dessert. Kids also have great menu choices that include familiar favorites and unique items like the Fluffernutter sandwich... so yummy! Our fun zone is a 3,500 square-foot indoor play space where kids’ imaginations can run wild. After being greeted at the Ranger Station, kids ages 8 and under can explore, climb, crawl and slide among colorful animal characters that live in the north woods. There is also an area designated for toddlers to do all of the same things on a “toddler scale.” Parents are welcome to join the fun, or enjoy some rest and an iced coffee on one of our comfy couches or chairs. The party place is also a great place to host a child’s birthday party or a special group event. There are large party rooms, plenty of reservation times to choose from, and party packages to fit your budget.

A friend & I came here to see a newly released film. Purchasing our tickets online and having our seats assigned to us meant that even if we got stuck in traffic and showed up at the last minute (we actually arrived early), we wouldn't have to go up and down the theater, looking for what seats are left. The seats are quite comfortable. You begin in a normal seated position; from this point, you can begin reclining, using a lever/button on the side of your seat, stopping at various degrees or going all the way down to a near-flat position. You just need to find your "sweet spot" and enjoy the flick! Just don't show up for a movie feeling sleepy, because you easily could doze off in one of these babies!

I bought our group tickets, and we had a wonderful time! The club owner was very accommodating at getting all of us to sit together! The food and service was great, the atmosphere was ambient and the comedians, they were off the chain!! It was an absolutely awesome night for us! This was my first comedy club experience, and I enjoyed it so much! This will be one of our regular spots!

with 3 stories of golf bays, there are plenty of opportunities to launch a golf ball into the stratosphere! lol J/k there is plenty of space to come and just practice or to learn the game, or to just launch golf balls as far as you possibly can within the area provided by the netting. I'm not very good at the game, but when i do connect with the ball properly, I can hit it a country mile and I couldn't even hit the netting in the back, although it's loads of fun to try. You do not have to pay to enter the establishment, However you do have to pay to play!
