USS Arizona Memorial Gardens at Salt River
Memorial park
👍👍 You can never be too thankful to and for those who came before us. I have been to the memorial in Hawaii years ago, walked the building, touched the wall, and looked over the ship in her final resting place. This is also a beautiful memorial and was well worth the visit. I would strongly suggest it...

Downtown Gilbert Water Tower
Historical landmark
👍 My review is about the Water Tower's splash pad. It wasn't turned on the summer of 2021 but it is finally back on and we went for the first time with the water spouting. My daughter has a good time. We walked to Topo's for lunch and went back to the splash pad to eat. It's a good time. Not 5 stars b...

Norman Lykes House

👍👍 Beautiful home. I was hiking on the road passing the home and stopped to take a few pictures of the area and the owner was outside and waved and I waved back.

Cattle Track Arts Compound
Performing arts theater
👍 It was a unique place. The outside looks totally deserted and cluttered. All the buildings, if they have windows or doors, are covered with blinds so you can’t see into anything. So it feels very unwelcoming and like a ghost town. I happened to see somebody pop outside the one building and so I was...

Francis Quarles Story neighborhood
Historical landmark
👍 My friend lives here. ... 5 stars if the feral cats didn't rule the hood. Pasta neighbors on the bed and have the neighbors feed them protesting animal cruelty if you even try mentioning to get rid of them. On average they are three times the size of a normal puppy dog. You have to be careful when y...

Eisendrath House
Historical landmark
👍👍 This adobe construction house is really worth the tour. I have stayed in this mansion when I was a kid, a family in my church congregation was living in the home at the time, and we had sleepovers. It was exciting and scary as a kid to sleep there. It was a HUGE overwhelming amount of home space tha...
