text: Do yourself a favor and go explore the art district Roosevelt Row Just wandering around the area is a neat experience as there is so much to see and do Lots of neat restaurants parks and shops The homes are so beautiful Parts of the area remind me of certain areas of Chicago If you are visiting for the first time you will find yourself forgetting you are in the middle of the desertnnOne of the stops on your way through the art district should be the Japanese Friendship Garden It is cheap bucks if you want to feed the koi and beautiful It really only takes about minutes or so to see the whole thing but just stopping to relax and reflect for a while can be a very rewarding experience The grounds are well kept and breathtakingly beautiful It is very quiet and relaxingnnIm not sure what the other reviewers were talking about when they said they had a problem taking cameras in We had cameras as did everyone else we saw inside I got some AMAZING pictures when we were there We never had any problems There is a sign that says you cannot take professional equipment inside without a contract but that is to be expected nnOverall a very nice experience This is not something you would go far out of your way to visit but definitely worth stopping by while you are doing other things in the area That whole area of downtown is super cool
