Visit the Scottsdale
Civic Center Mall to appreciate all that this exciting
city has to offer- free parking for starters.
You are
greeted with vibrant flowers and tinkling fountains in a lovely
plaza. Pick up a map for a self-guided tour of Old Town Scottsdale
at The Little Red
Schoolhouse. This charming Mall museum introduces you
to Scottsdale’s beginnings and includes a replica of a 1900s
schoolroom.
For the
latest in drama, dance, music or comedy, check out the theater
schedules at the Scottsdale
Center for the Arts, also on the Mall. And right next
door the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art always has
something fresh and thought provoking to offer.
Stroll
the surrounding streets and feel the energy in the heart of
Scottsdale Downtown.
Dine south of the border or choose the cuisine of Japan, Italy
or nouvelle Southwest. In an area of superb restaurants Cowboy
Ciao Wine Bar & Grill seems to stands out with its cool
atmosphere, great food, and incredible wine list.
Take time
to browse for antiques or fine art, cowboy boots or fine jewelry-
it is all here and much, much more. Or just enjoy a walk in
the lovely weather, savor the architecture of Old Town, stop
for a drink or an ice cream cone, people watch- it’s your
holiday!
