Take a tour through Southwest culture at the Heard Museum, located at the intersection of Paradise Lane and Civic Center Plaza in Surprise. Witness performers and artists practicing as they would in their native tribe. Enjoy inter-active displays for kids, workshops in native arts, and storytelling for young and old.

The Arizona sunshine is wonderful, but from time to time you might feel like curling up with a book. If you do, then visit one of Scottsdale's many public libraries. Not only can you browse through the wide range of books, but you can also enjoy many cultural events.
