The Westgate Entertainment District includes numerous restaurant, a number of shops and the Phoenix Coyotes Stadium. There always seems to be something happening. We saw a Navy jazz band, a hot rod exhibition and a rock band. The landscaping is very pretty and the people watching is great. This is a nice place to spend time.

Take me out to the ballgame .. Take me out with the crowd .. Oh what a song it is.
Take me out for a night game at the Peoria Sports Complex here in Peoria, Arizona, on the North and West side of the greater Phoenix Metro Area.
Take me out to see the Oakland Athletics play the Seattle Mariners in a Major League Baseball Spring Training game in the Cactus League.
What fun it all was. How sweet it all was. Great employees at the ballpark. Parking was easy. Security was firm but polite and certainly not draconian. Fun concessions to see as attractions. Very clean restrooms. Friendly fans as well to visit with.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back.
I loved the Peoria Sports Complex, near 101 Loop Rd and Bell Rd, right here in little old Peoria, Arizona..

Went here for a volleyball tournament my daughter was playing in. None of the concessions were open but it is a easy stadium to get to with good parking and access to near by shopping, food and Gil’s river arena. Was very cool for my daughter to get to play on stadium, might have to go back for a nfl game.

Reviewed By PhilzReviews - Oshawa, Canada
Great ballpark for Spring Training games! Parking is free, seats are great, lots of food to choose from (had the 18" pizza slice!), nice pro shops and more. Very family friendly atmosphere. On a nice sunny day you'll have a great time!

Traveling the NHL arenas, shocked to see such a 1980's MTV music video quality Jumbotron here. Crowd was incredibly enthusiastic and loud for the few that were there; pretty sure section 121 is the "moms get away..." ya. Value score is HUGE here, can't beat AZ prices other than maybe Islanders, Hurricanes, and Panthers. I think Tucson (AHL's) dinky little convention center is nicer and that's pathetic. Only thing making up for low quality experience the Yotes put on was the BMW Lounge; being able to see either team enter and exit the ice is phenomenal. Try to get tickets in the rows that allow access to it; all you can eat and drink till the start of the 3rd. Overall it's ok, compared to other NHL arenas.. lol.

I and my family have had nothing but good things to say about Blue Sky Ranch, Bucky was very professional, and the horses were very well behaved and calm. My son rode Zip and had no problems what so ever, I rode Patches, my wife rode Geronimo, daughter rode Cricket,. we rode Cochise Stonghold, and had the greatest time . I hope we will get back there this coming year, we want to ride in the Chiracahua Mountains and we will be riding with Blue Sky Ranch with Bucky.

So much fun to walk thru the quaint streets of historic downtown Glendale. Beautiful Craftsman style cottages, many turned into gift shops, galleries and restaurants. We came last year during the Glendale Glitters Christmas event, beautiful lights and decorations everywhere. Came again this spring, everything is in bloom, beautiful Easter and spring decorations everywhere. No matter the season, this is a great stop.

Just attended PT's production of Mama Mia. Having lived near NYC for years with the opportunity to attend Broadway musicals on a regular basis, I can say Phoenix Theatre can hold its own with the big boys. Talented actors with impressive credentials and even more impressive energy, flawless sound and lighting, excellent musicians and a comfortable, intimate setting combine to create a theatrical experience of the highest caliber. Come early to enjoy a glass of wine in the spacious, recently remodeled cocktail lounge/lobby or attractive outdoor patio. Add in the free and easy parking and you have one of our city's best entertainment venues.

Amazing time and bonus your dog can be a companion! We love it. To be able to take your fur baby, most importantly clean up after them. Sadly there are quite a few who do not do this! As a side note, as it is early spring be vigilant for snakes or other animals as it is early for their hibernation. The views and exercise are truly worth it!

Although we intended to visit the museum, our arrival with only one hour remaining caused us to change our plans. Instead of trying to race through the place, we resolved to return another time and, instead, opted for Plan B, which was to spend the remaining hour in the gift shop.
And what a shop! Top of the line collection of American Indian jewelry, pottery, rugs, music CD’s. No tax charged since the museum is non-profit. Plenty of pleasant (not on comision) salespeople around to help you decide what to purchase from among the hundreds of choices. When you visit the Heard, leave some time for this place, too.
