Situated just south of Scottsdale is the fast-growing city of Tempe, site of Arizona State University. It has the fun, youthful vibe typical to a university town and Mill Avenue’s collection of fun and funky boutiques, eateries, pubs, and clubs is one of the few areas in the Valley, aside from downtown Scottsdale, where people ditch their cars and pound the pavement. There are also a handful of museums, galleries, and sites of interest around the college campus area; the most impressive is the Gammage Auditorium 1200 S. Forest Ave.; box office Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; 480-965-3434; a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece that plays host to regular theater performances. Another, rather unexpected, attraction here is the 2-mile stretch of Tempe Town Lake 80 W. Salido Pkwy; created in 1999 by the damming of the Salt River, it today invites exploration via pedal boats, kayaks, and other watercraft.
