Great place to go shopping for clothes, shoes or other silimar things. Walking thru the open court yard with all the shops on either side. Then you come to the larger open area. Where they have a stage. For performers throughout the year. We used to stop by here frequently myself and 2 very close friends. Just walk thru and catch any event that might be going on. As they frequently have musical performances. And it was a place we would go to after dinner; because my friends really liked getting a desert at Mojo Yogurt. Sitting outside and enjoying the frozen yogurt. They have a few big box stores as well and various restaurants, as well as a cinema. Easy to get to. If you don't have a car a city bus gos straight into here. If your coming from North Take Hayden Rd South which will eventually turns into McKlintock. And Tempe Market Place is right at Rio Salado Rd. On your left hand side. Another place we would go to although a little less frequently, Because it was more of a longer drive was Desert Ridge Market Place and; that is also very nice.
But I think Tempe Market Place wins out for more of a cozy warm and fuzzy feel. But both places are very nice.
