Fodor's Review:
Phoenix's only national landmark, this park was once the site of a 500-acre Hohokam village supporting about 1,000 people and containing homes, storage rooms, cemeteries, and ball courts. Three exhibition galleries hold displays on the Hohokam culture and archaeological methods. View the 10-minute orientation video before heading out on the 1/2-mi Ruin Trail past excavated mounds and ruins that give a hint of Hohokam savvy: there's a building whose corner doorway was perfectly placed to watch the summer-solstice sunrise. Children particularly like the hands-on, interactive learning center. Guided tours by appointment only.
- Cost: $2, free Sun.
- Open: Mon.-Sat. 9-4:45, Sun. 1-4:45
