The Downtown Ambassadors are part of the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. They wear orange polo shirts and are walking or riding their bicycles all over downtown. They can answer questions, give directions, and much more.
On Saturday, I was with a group of 7 people (4 of whom were kids) all wanting some ice cream. There was no shops open at City Scape that had ice cream. I found an ambassador in 5 Guys Burgers and Fries who was probably trying to order his lunch. He was more than happy to direct our group to the Cold Stone Creamery at the Arizona Center. He gave excellent directions and let us know it was a bit of a walk. Also, the ambassador knew that Cold Stone Creamery was having a kid's special. Thank you for helping us.
Once we got to the Arizona Center and ordered our ice cream. We sat, ate, and visited while relaxing. One of the kids ran off to use the bathroom and got lost. We got assistance from another ambassador. He found her and she was safely returned.
Our day downtown was helped along by our ambassadors. Thank you for all your help.
