And with venues such as Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Tucson International Airport, and Scottsdale Municipal Airport, experiencing all that Arizona has to offer is quick and easy. The rich, Native American culture, and history of famous Arizonans such as renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, makes for an entertaining, yet educational experience. Southern Arizona offers a rich history of the “Old West,” with its western towns, guest ranches, and stunning sights such as Karchner Caverns. Sports fans will delight in watching a live game of the 2001 World Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, or the NBA Phoenix Suns. Central Arizona offers a wide variety of entertainment options such as five-star resorts and spas, casual indoor and outdoor shopping malls, up-scale shops such as the Arizona Biltmore, quaint restaurants, golf courses, art galleries, museums, antique stores and more.
