Museums in Phoenix

Phoenix has many interesting museums, but there are a few major museums that visitors should know about before planning their trip to Arizona.

The most special, the "must-see" museum for any visitor to the area is the Heard Museum. Founded in 1929 by Dwight Heard, it is dedicated to preserving the expansive collection of Southwest Native American arts and crafts that he and his wife had collected during their lifetimes. The museum houses more than 30,000 works, but the most popular attraction is its collection of 500 Native American dolls. The museum also has an impressive collection of contemporary art by local Native Americans.

Chase Park, however, is unique because of the special challenges posed by playing baseball in the Arizona summer. And the best way to learn about it is to take a tour of the ballpark. They are given daily, year round.

Majerle Knows Sports Bars

When you're in downtown Phoenix and you're looking for an affordable sports bar where you can watch the game, drink some beer, and perhaps have a burger or sandwich, Majerle's Sports Grill is probably the place for you. Located in the historic Fry Building (dating to 1891, it is the oldest commercial building in Phoenix) less than two blocks from the U.S. Airways Center, home to the Phoenix Suns basketball franchise, it is named for Dan Majerle, who played for the Phoenix Suns in the late 1980s-early 1990s and proved to be one of the Suns' most popular players. Majerle is today a part-time color commentator for the Phoenix Suns.
