This is a restaurant with okay pizza and superb entertainment. A man comes out of the floor playing a century old pipe organ, what more can I say? It’s gimmicky, but it’s super fun and unique. It’s very family friendly and there’s seating for large groups. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/a7a019d2-723a-48ac-8e55-11a66786cd9c/Reclectic Life in the Valley - So you’re Visiting The Valley… No gatekeeping around here folks! Reclectic is an Anthropologie outlet located in the Arizona Mills Mall. It is actually overwhelming how much inventory they have. It is pretty well organized though, but you could easily spend hours here. Make sure to closely look at anything you purchase because some of these items are returns, so there’s a higher chance of imperfections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/3aff2cb8-d5ed-4520-a0f4-56a6c6c999ca/IMG_9075.jpg Life in the Valley - So you’re Visiting The Valley… - The hottest boardwalk you’ve ever been to in your life. Thankfully all of the attractions are indoors. There’s a ton to do, but really we just go for the aquarium. It is one of the best that I’ve been to, and I randomly love aquariums so that has to mean something- right? There's a butterfly conservatory (SWELTERING), a dinosaur walkthrough (boring for adults, cool for kids) and a ton of things for groups and kids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/ec08d47d-76a0-436e-bc80-7d029a0f2330/IMG_1897.JPG Life in the Valley - So you’re Visiting The Valley… The absolute best escape room we’ve ever done. It is beyond interactive and immersive. My husband and I accidentally found this place and were blown away because we were expecting your run of the mill escape room. The owner is a former Disney Imagineer and currently teaches a class at ASU on creating immersive experiences. He and his wife are also mormon, which is a benefit because of the clean and wholesome aspect. This is the Disneyland of escape rooms. There’s a special way to even get to this place… but I won’t spoil it for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/091f1cf4-d363-4cfa-9486-de5185e08e7f/IMG_9076.JPG Life in the Valley - So you’re Visiting The Valley… - My husband around age 5 or 6 Look, we’ve been going here a looong time… like before I was born. It really is where we bring everyone. It’s a Garrett staple. If you don’t see us, you’ll probably see someone from VPC. https://ruby-hibiscus-wnln.squarespace.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/4a05f781-2227-463d-8fe6-64ac390793c0/TAMARAG42.jpeg https://ruby-hibiscus-wnln.squarespace.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67fab064b8cab434eb9a510f/4a05f781-2227-463d-8fe6-64ac390793c0/TAMARAG42.jpeg
