DOWNTOWN PHOENIX. This outdoor retail and dining complex sits near downtown office towers and is a popular place for business folks and tourists to congregate, sit in the sun, and enjoy a scattering of pleasant gardens and water features. While the individual shops don't constitute a mega-mall experience, they do offer easy browsing, especially if you're in the market for souvenirs. Also in the complex are restaurants, nightclubs, and a movie theater. When there's something big going on in the area, Arizona Center gets lots of traffic and attention.
