| An educational nerve center, Tempe, Arizona is probably best known for its Arizona State University. One of the three major universities in Arizona, Tempe is a spot where minds meet. From the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism to the Biodesign Institute, ASU has a lot to offer students. But, bordering Phoenix and Scottsdale, Tempe has more than just academia in its clutches. Sun Devil Stadium, right in the center of the ASU Campus, is home to both the ASU Sun Devils college team and the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. Catch a game and head to downtown Tempe where Mill Avenue’s restaurants and shops would catch anyone’s eye. As with most university towns, Tempe has an eclectic mix of people and attractions. Relax or recreate in Papago Park, and take a leisurely boat ride in Tempe Town Lake. No matter what you do in Tempe, make sure to take advantage of its exquisite wintertime weather. And, like it’s motto says- Tempe is truly a town “in touch.” Arizona is home to the Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world, and is situated in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. Arizona provides a rich history and culture, breath-taking scenery, arts, entertainment, sports, and a climate that is varied enough to accommodate any type of outdoor recreation, no matter what the season. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s no wonder people travel here from all over the world to enjoy the perfect weather. Whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rafting down the Colorado River, skiing the slopes of the White Mountains, or just relaxing by the pool, there is something to do here all year long. And with venues such as Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Tucson International Airport, and Scottsdale Municipal Airport, experiencing all that Arizona has to offer is quick and easy. The rich, Native American culture, and history of famous Arizonans such as renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, makes for an entertaining, yet educational experience. Southern Arizona offers a rich history of the “Old West,” with its western towns, guest ranches, and stunning sights such as Karchner Caverns. Sports fans will delight in watching a live game of the 2001 World Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, or the NBA Phoenix Suns. Central Arizona offers a wide variety of entertainment options such as five-star resorts and spas, casual indoor and outdoor shopping malls, up-scale shops such as the Arizona Biltmore, quaint restaurants, golf courses, art galleries, museums, antique stores and more. So whether you are looking to surround yourself in a little western history, or just want to relax and have some fun, Arizona is the place to go.
