Experience Arizona Like Never Before!
All About Downtown
Downtown Phoenix has risen to new heights since 2005 and the Phoenix Convention Center is at the center of this renaissance! The addition of world-class shopping, dining and entertainment has transformed downtown into a vibrant urban oasis all within walking distance of the Phoenix Convention Center. It is easy to get around downtown on the METRO Light Rail, city buses, pedicabs or taxis.
CityScape, downtown's newest open air mall, boasts an eclectic mix of specialty shops and unique boutiques, Lucky Strike Bowling, Gold's Gym, Stand Up Live Comedy Club, numerous restaurants, an urban grocery store and a CVS drugstore for your convenience.
Still looking for more to do? The Arizona Latino Arts Cultural Center, Arizona Science Center @ Heritage Square and Phoenix Children's Museum are just steps away from our venues. Visit the Arizona Center to enjoy more dining, shopping and a 24 screen movie theatre.

Arizonans know how to relax and have fun in the sun. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and a canopy of blue sky, the Greater Phoenix area is home to some of the best golfing in the nation. From renowned golf clubs to the City of Phoenix's 8-unique public courses, everyone can experience the beauty of Arizona golf.
Don't miss the opportunity to climb the city's most famous landmark — Camelback Mountain! Imagine exploring untouched desert lined with majestic saguaro and cholla cacti, home to coyotes, great horned owls and Gila monsters — all just minutes from downtown Phoenix. It's no surprise Phoenix is one of National Geographic's best hiking cities. The Phoenix Mountain Preserves draw thousands of hikers each year with dozens of trails appealing to both novice and advanced hikers.
