Love Monkey Village at the Phoenix Zoo. You enter the exhibit and get witholin 3 feet of the Squirrel Monkeys. The employees are very knowledgeable about the monkey. They are a joy to watch!. The exhibit is free.

I know I will be standing in long lines when I need to have fabric cut and when I am at the front of the store in line to purchase items, it's just a given. I've been trying for a month to get black felt and every time I visit the store, they are out of it. But I do love their sales especially the 60% off deals and the sales people are always nice so I don't shop when I'm in a hurry!

I grew up in Scottsdale so when I was a kid, this building was a library. Scottsdale has done a nice job of turning it into a museum. It doesn't take to long to go through it and well worth the time to see the history of the area.

The correct address for the museum is 17 South 2nd Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85003. Its on the south side of the Maricopa County Courthouse. If you are downtown, take the time to stop by and see the museum. The staff is friendly and loves chatting with the guests. The museum is set up well, including the first helicopter that PPD owned. I was fortunate enough to have gone on a day one of the first pilots who flew that helicopter was working. So many great stories about the amazing people who wore the Phoenix Police uniform.

Certain times of the year I'm at the zoo walking every day. Its safe and I can quickly get 10,000 steps in and enjoy every minute! Every member of the staff including the volunteers are knowledgeable and they take the time to answers any questions that you have. I've been coming to the zoo since they opened in the 60's. It just gets better and better! I love Zoo Lights!
