ARIZONA RAILWAY MUSEUM REVIEWS
The ARM is awesome! I was worried that the kids would absolutely hate it, but was thrilled to find that they loved it! My inner rail fan kept spouting facts and info to them that I thought would be a turn-off, but instead, they were fascinated by the history, the layout and info on the cars, and how everything tied into our home here in Chandler, Arizona! Well worth the stop.
Great place. People that are volunteers there are very nice. The trains are well kept and the displays are very nice. The gift shop items are cheap compared to big museums, amusement parks, or the zoo. Our family very much liked this place. Cheap to get in too. Thanks for having a place like this.
I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! We rented the caboose for my son’s birthday. He and his friends had a great time. Renting the car was super simple. It was decorated, had tables and chairs, and was nice and cool. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful. And so patient with our overly excited group of kids. The kids loved seeing the train cars and ringing the steam engine bell. I would highly recommend this place to others, even just for a visit. It’s a neat place.

CHANDLER MUSEUM REVIEWS
The Chandler Museum is small but very well put together. When we visited they had an exhibit on Chandler’s own boxer Zora Foley, a Day of the Dead exhibit, and local and National photos from Dorothea Lange (of the famous dust bowl photos). If you have children check out there to go art boxes. They have at-home activities and supplies on one of their current exhibits. (When we visited they had Frank Lloyd Wright and Day of the Dead)
The exhibits were so well done and informative. Always learn something new with each visit. This museum is a true gem for the community.
This is such a beautiful museum. They have an adorable gift shop and very intriguing exhibits, Lizzie at the front is so kind and helpful. I can’t wait to come back and see more exhibits!

CHANDLER CENTER FOR THE ARTS REVIEWS
They had a lovely free concert for the community. I brought my family here to listen to the professional musician's play. It was absolutely outstanding. The conductor was fabulous and we all enjoyed the program.
I went for the Mayor's State of the City Address. I've been here multiple times for orchestra events and other concerts. As always, it is a great place to host a venue and attend and I have never had a problem with the staff there. Everyone is very courteous and I would highly recommend this location if you are trying to organize a venue or an event.
Fabulous venue for music. Comfortable seats, parking in the back, and good acoustics. Restrooms could be a bit larger. Many artists at lower prices due to local support for Chandler Arts. Something different every week.
