Scottsdale is located in central Arizona in the heart
of the lush Sonoran Desert. But don't let the term "desert"
fool you! The Sonoran is the richest, most biologically diverse
desert ecosystem in the Americas, and is home to thousands of species
of plants and animals. This unique setting provides Scottsdale with
a whole host of benefits including breathtaking scenic vistas, an
abundance of outdoor recreation options, and indigo skies that glow
with more than 330 days of sunshine each year. And this magnificent
setting is just the beginning of Scottsdale's story. Read on and
let us introduce you to our history, our cultural heritage and our
way of life. Then, come visit and experience the magic of Scottsdale
for yourself!

Scottsdale Artwalk
Scottsdale ArtWalk is much like a large, easy-going open
house for the Scottsdale Arts District located primarily along
Main Street and Marshall Way in Scottsdale Downtown.
A 30-year tradition, the ArtWalk process is simple —
proceed at your own pace, wander into galleries that capture
your fancy, stroll around a delightful area punctuated by
dramatic statues, bubbling fountains, tree-covered courtyards,
famed restaurants and more. Horse-drawn carriage rides and
trolley rides are often available from plentiful free parking
areas nearby.

Out of Africa Wildlife Park
OUT OF AFRICA WILDLIFE PARK reopened its gates on Thursday,
May 26, after one year of construction on 104 wilderness acres
in Camp Verde, near Sedona, Arizona.
The park features the new Wildlife Preserve, where large
land predators like lions, panthers and hyena prowl majestically
in natural habitats. Visitors can choose to take an educational
tram excursion or “walk about.” Great photo opportunities! |
