"Downtown Phoenix makes up the urban center and heart of the city. There are vibrant murals, art galleries, museums, theaters, and award-winning restaurants everywhere you look. The Heard Museum offers a glimpse into the native cultures of the Southwest and beyond, while the nearby Art Museum showcases American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, modern, and contemporary art. Families with children will enjoy spending a few hours at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, and those who wish to see a show have a few choices of venues between the Herberger Theater Center, historic Orpheum Theatre, Arizona Opera House, or Phoenix Theatre. The area doesn’t lack dining choices, with anything from the award-winning Pizzeria Bianco in Heritage Square to the casual but elegant 1130 The Restaurant in the Arizona Center or the Thai Basil Restaurant." - MATADOR_NETWORK
