Art lovers will find Scottsdale museums such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Hoo-hoogam Ki Museum are ‘must-see’ locations. The Museum of Contemporary Art showcases modern art and architecture, while the Hoo-hoogam Ki Museum features artifacts from the local Salt River Pima-Maricopa Native American community.

Dog shows, family reunions, small arts and crafts fairs, all seem to find the Tempe Women's Club Park the ideal place to set up during the spring and summer months. A smaller shade park in north Tempe, the park always seems to be busy with one thing or another, and is usually open to the public.
