While visiting the Phoenix area my wife picked this place for a visit on a Wednesday morning. The preserve is maintained by ASU and is a quarter mile trail in the desert showing off the petroglyphs etched in the black volcanic rocks made by ancient Indians. One thing that surprised me was that these petroglyphs are located in rocks high in the hillside and not at the trail level. So you need to look closely and use a camera with a telephoto zoom or possibly a cellphone camera with zoom capabilities to see and/or photograph them. Also, you can change your position when looking for the glyphs which will make them stand out more. Pretty cool stuff! Note, that their covid hours are Weds through Fri from 8 am to 12 pm, and they close their gates at 12:15 pm.

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!

Being there for a family reason we wanted to relax and enjoy the outdoors and this was the perfect place. On Mondays the park is open but the buildings are closed but, it is still worth it. I saw a family having a picnic lunch with the kids. The rose garden and just to see what a ranch appeared in the late 18th century was amazing. They have many peacocks that are there and some will even stop to put on a show for you. The beauty of the Peacocks and the roses are worth the going even thou the building may be closed learn from actual building and put yourself back in the history of Glendale

Spring Training home of Major League Baseball's Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers, located in Glendale, Arizona
If you are a baseball fan....especially of the spring Cactus League, Camelback Ranch, the spring home of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Socks is a wonderful place to be. This is a spectacular baseball facility with countless opportunities to interact with both the game and the players. Plenty of free parking. A wonderful park like atmosphere and great site lines in the game stadium. It's a must attend...location.

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

We had so much fun with our grandkids when we went here. They have a bunch of bouncy things for the kids, plus a pumpkin patch and corn maze I belive those go through much of November and all through October. There's also train rides and a corn bin for the kids to play in. You can also get yummy snacks and even buy some great farm goods when you are on your way out. If you go to grouppon you get a little discount but basically your entrance fee works for everything but the train ride and potato shooting thing. All the bouncy houses and mazes and stuff are included.

This is the downtown historic area of Glendale, Arizona. The area has more than 80 antique shops, some interesting resturants, and nice park.
A great place to roam around and shop though the many Antique Shops and other interesting shops. There are many sit down places to grab a bite to eat, comfortably priced.
