PETERSEN HOUSE MUSEUM REVIEWS

What remains ( definitely refurbished with period items) of what was once a 2,000 acre ranch. The docents are amazing with tales of Danish stories and the house. We happened to be there when a group of college-aged carolers were singing.

Always wonderf! Great docents and lovely museum! The Xmas Danish historical touches and market were fantastic! It is perfect for the whole family but anyone interested in history.

Beautiful architecture and interesting house to explore. Love the history of this house. Worth checking out.

HACKETT HOUSE REVIEWS

We were lucky to stumble upon this charming slice of Arizona history with its darling gift shop while exploring downtown Tempe. Something for everyone, and wonderful volunteers. The selection and prices were so good, I picked up some perfect Christmas presents in February.

The Hackett House is an incredible venue for any important occasion. Always beautiful and the staff is incredible and friendly. Angie is such an angel. I have had the honor of helping out with a benefit there for the past 4 years. We keep going back because of how great it is. I am looking forward to many more years.

Nutcracker Tea with my granddaughters was a real hit. The dancers could not have been nicer.

TEMPE PUBLIC LIBRARY REVIEWS

Tempe Public Library - finest library ! There’s so many good things about this library! I have found the staffs helping people with their queries nicely. The kid’s story telling hours are our favourite ones. interestingly, the public library offers free culture passes(one per a week, valid for 2 adults) to members which could be used to visit places like Raid Zoo in Tucson, Phoenix art museum and many other places. It’s a great thing and I appreciate this community service.

Best library ever. If you have little ones they will want to come all the time. Plenty of book and toys for kiddos. And the library offers to many programs and fun activities. I am beyond grateful that places like this exist. Thank you to all who work here to make it a fun and safe place.

The kids zone in the basement is pretty nice. Big and open! The banana chairs were a big hit and it’s a calm space. The computers need a library card to use, but there are some kid touch screens that don’t and that was kinda nice.
