The Square PHX

Phoenix is full of history and Heritage Square is one of those places that maintains some of its past. Heritage Square is home to some preserved 19th and 20th century homes, museums and restaurants. The Rosson House is a beautiful restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian house that was once home to early settlers in Phoenix. Heritage Square also hosts many food and cultural festivals. There is a large garage nearby for parking and ASU has a small campus next door.The Arizona Science Center is the building that stands out the most here at Historic Heritage Square. I have gone to it a couple of times and have enjoyed my time there. Arizona's most iconic restaurant Pizzeria Bianco by James Beard Award-winner Chris Bianco is also here. It can be a very long wait to get a table and has been visited by many celebrates like Jerry Seinfeld and Jimmy Fallon over the years. Sometimes I will park near Heritage Square while going to a baseball game and like to enjoy its relaxing peaceful atmosphere before the game. There are some shaded areas to take cover on warm sunny days.

I stumbled across the Heritage Square area while walking back to my hotel and I am so glad I did. It was later in the evening so everything was closed, but it was still nice to see!

Historic Heritage Square is in the old town site for Phoenix. It is very near Arizona State University. I took a look around. Pretty cool place to explore. Plenty of museums, shops, restaurants in here. Also certainly a place to also have a wedding if you want to. If I had been in the Phoenix area longer, I would have explored this area more thoroughly.

Nice area across Arizona state university. There's not that much going on but I can see the beauty used for events like weddings. I really liked the little visitor center with the cashier, info and the carriage. Paid parking only in the street. And they tow if you don't pay attention to parking in an actual spot.

Interesting little historical park in Phoenix. Here you will see examples of Queen Ann residential architecture from the dawn of the 20th century. There is a tour of the Rossum house that is both educational and fun. Overall, a good way to spend an hours or so in downtown Phoenix. Recommend.

I wish I came by when there was a festival or some event going on. It's a cute little area. I'm glad I didn't make a special trip to come here, rather it was on a way to a restaurant nearby. I love seeing old architecture and admiring charming buildings.

This little area is absolutely lovely! I enjoyed my ice cream pop from The Bungalow. Mango flavor is delish! Note: The store has adorable items! I also enjoyed grabbing a pizza at Pizzeria Bianco. There is a lovely coffee shop also in the area that I went to on a different visit (Royal). Looking around the area, you will see some great architecture, comfortable places to sit, and a few shops/food places to explore.

The more I visit downtown Phoenix the more I fall in love. The history is rich here. It's always a pleasant surprise to find a place so beautiful hidden amongst all the high rises and traffic. Nestled next to the science center these beautiful grounds hold not only the Rosson House built in 1895, beautiful grounds, carriage house turned gift shop, Teeter Tea House , and much more. There any many shaded areas and flowers. Great place to relax in the early morning hours. One of my favorite things is the awesome little free library up against the brick backdrop.

Interesting and historic part of downtown Phoenix that I had yet to explore. I came here with some friends to check out the flea market; local vendors selling their goods. It was perfect as Christmas is right around the corner. Some good restaurants are in the area as well as coffee shops. It's easy to get to from the light rail and it's central to other goodies in downtown. Fun place to check out and cross of the list.

This venue is a gem for those getting married in Phoenix. It's close to downtown, which means so are photo opportunities, but more importantly it's convenient and easy to find great accommodations nearby. Also, you don't even have to go anywhere else as there is such a great array of spots right at this venue for great photo ops. Whether you prefer the old brick building charm or maybe even the clean, minimal concrete look the nearby Science Center provides. One of my favorite venus to photograph weddings.
