What to do and see in Governmental Mall, Arizona (AZ): The Best Historic Sites

January 9, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

Nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the top golf destinations in the world. But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area also offers visitors an array of impressive cultural attractions. Visit the internationally renowned Heard Museum for an in-depth look at Native American history or peruse the fine collection at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Enjoy a ballet performance at the ornate Orpheum Theater or or catch a concert at the state-of-the-art Comerica Theatre. In addition to golf, the city offers access to numerous outdoor endeavors including rock climbing, hot-air ballooning, desert jeep tours and more. Family-friendly attractions, first-rate shopping, dining and entertainment, and spectacular recreational activities make Phoenix a must-visit destination.

Armenian Martyrs Memorial

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

The Armenian Martyrs Memorial is really sad. Many were in lamentation. Nobody wanted to hear from them. The monument is dedicated to the 1,500 000 Armenian Victims of the of the genocide in Turkey from 1915-1921. Two huge stones explain it. It was sad for humanity. Worthwhile that can happen to any country.

Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza

Reviewed By jsblondie63 - Safford, United States

I have been to downtown Phoenix many times over the years for business and have never had the time to walk through the plaza and really had no idea what was there. In October 2019 I arrived an hour and a half early for a meeting, I found a parking spot in the plaza, from where I parked I realized I could see two very large 16 inch guns from the USS Arizona. As I walked closer I saw the signal tower and one of her anchors and a beautiful display for the sailors who lost their lives. The entire plaza is full of memorials from the USS Arizona, Navajo Code Talkers all branches of the military and law enforcement, even a beautiful statue honoring Father Eusebio Kino. I enjoyed walking the plaza and spending time at each memorial. I plan on going again so I can spend more than an hour. It's a for history buffs and people that just want to pay respects.

The Desert Storm Memorial was tough. The despot was found hiding and they took him from his soldiers. After he was taken of his country , it was really better. Peace was quiet! However, the Americans had won for peace for a long time. A must see!
