15 Best Things To Do in Tempe, Arizona
If you can’t go to Greece, there’s a place close to home that’s named after the Greek Vale of Tempe. The city is always bustling with sporting events since it houses Arizona State University. It’s also popular for being the former home of US Airways before they moved to Texas.
Meanwhile, the Desert Botanical Garden still attracts people from nearby areas due to its wave pool and boogie boards. Even better, Tempe has the stunningly grand ASU Gammage Auditorium, which is thought to be the last commissioned work done by the world-renown Frank Lloyd Wright.
But that’s not the only piece of architecture to look out for in the city. The Tempe Center for the Arts is equally stunning and can be seen from the sky if you’re boarding a plane from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
