Tempe, Arizona: University Town near Downtown Phoenix
If you hear Tempe natives referring to a mountain, there's no need to ask which one. It's the local nickname for Tempe Butte, a steep hill with a 60-foot-tall letter A built on its south face to represent Arizona State University. The butte rises just north of the school's Tempe campus, which is home to a student body of nearly 60,000. Along the northwestern edge of campus in the Mill Avenue District, you’ll likely encounter a few ASU Sun Devils, as the area is popular with students for its brewpubs, shops, and coffeehouses.
Located only a 20-minute drive away, Phoenix delivers a dose of culture with several acclaimed museums. At the Children's Museum of Phoenix, kids can build forts, measure vegetables in a pint-size market, and help paint an 11-foot-tall rocket ship. The Phoenix Art Museum includes a collection of Thorne Rooms—miniature dioramas of ornate interiors kept tidy by a fleet of tiny roombas.
