arizona: I am thinking of going on vacation/holiday to Phoenix Arizona in March for about a week. Is this a suitable city for a break for about a week ? Is there good tourist facilities ? Is any area better than others to stay and how are public transport arrangements for getting about the city and surrounding areas.|||= things to do in Phoenix, AZ like: 1) Western Destinations 2) Musical Instrument Museum 3) Hot Air Expeditions 4) Desert Botanical Garden 5) Open Road Tours 6) Heard Museum 7) Phoenix Children's Museum 8) Camelback Mountain 9) Phoenix Art Museum 10) Chase Field 11) Hole in the Rock|||We vacation the sedona/canyon area frequently. If your like my wife & don't like to change hotels frequently then Flagstaff is the best place to stay. Not only some nice hotels (Embassy & Holiday Express) but being a college town it has a lot of night life compared to the "Ho-Hum" towns of Sedona & Williams. Because Flag is centrally located to the best Az has to offer you are no more than an hour or so to Grand Canyon, Sedona, The Meteor Crater, The Petrified Forest(2hr) Glen Oak Canyon & the Dinosaur Footprints in the lava flows just outside Cameron. In Flag is the Snow bowl & Lowell Observatory (Nightly Public Viewings). be very careful renting rooms at the small chains at far end of town by the Railroad tracks as they are dirty & have drug & prostitution problems. If you don't mind moving about a bit you would be much better off time wise to stay in Sedona & either at or near Grand Canyon. There is a small town just outside the Park called Tusayan. The Grand Hotel is nice so is The Holiday Express, but don't be surprised if the city is booked solid. As for Phoenix... The light rail goes by The Botanical Garden & The Heard Museum. Don't know how you are about heights, but there are some really good hot air balloon rides nearby. as for shopping you have the Arizona Mills Shopping mall & Scottsdale is not to far. If rour looking for a good restaurant "Texas Roadhouse" has the best ribs around.|||YESYESYESYESYES! Phoenix is awesome! Especially because it's March, so it won't be too hot. If you have kids, go here: Phoenix Zoo & The Arizona Science Center If you like shopping, go here: Scottsdale Fashion Square, Tempe Marketplace & Mill Avenue If you want to go out of town, go here: The Grand Canyon & Sedona If you like to eat, go here: Pizzeria Bianco, Cooperstown, and many more, just explore!|||March is perfect. Best weather in the country at that time of year. You also can watch half of the MLB teams in spring training here. The stadiums are spread throughout the valley so you have access to games no matter where you stay. I'd stay in Goodyear or Scottsdale or Surprise. Tons of games are played there. That's just me because I'm a big baseball fan.|||i have lived in az my whole life. its funny that people say dont come out here in the summer. NEWS FLASH: it isnt that hot!!! there a multiple cab businesses to get around we also have a pretty good bus situation. and if you plan on going downtown there is always the light rail. its a FABULOUS place to visit!|||Arizona isn't that bad people say it is because of that stupid immigration bill. But its a nice place if you come between fall and spring. Cuz summer time it's at least 100 all summer. And as long as you stay out of The ghetto parts of Phoenix|||It's really hot in the Summers!!!! I would go to Scottsdale if I were you it's more nicer and you will love the mall there!|||Nooo stay away from Arizona specially if your a immigrant|||not in the summer
