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!

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.

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

I grew up in this area so I have been to Thunderbird Conservation Park several times. There are several trails with different types of difficulties. My favorite trail is the Sunrise trail. It is a quick hike with awesome views, my German Shepherd loves it too! The park also has several different types of amenities like picnic areas and a wildlife lookout area that not many people know about. I recommend downloading the Avem app, it will help you discover and find all the different park amenities offered at Thunderbird Conservation Park. Happy Hiking!

Yes, this was an outlet mall. Most of us are familiar with outlet malls. I have to say I loved the set up and ease to find stores and maps. The trees and birds made this feel like I was shopping on a tropical island. Staff in each store I went was amazing and friendly. It was clean and well taken care of. There were plenty of seats to wait for friends or enjoy a beverage. Great place to go and you can find anything you are looking for.

We always stop by the mall before our drive back to Flagstaff. My daughter is 4 years old and she loves it here. Disney Store, Building A Bear Workshop, kids play area, train rides, etc. As a parent i am always happy to go to a place that is clean, feels safe and has lots of parking. Arrowhead Towne Center provides that.
