Heritage Square is anchored by the historic Rosson House Museum, a fully-restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian house that was once inhabited by some of Phoenix's earliest settlers. For paranormal fans, this site is also one of several haunted places in Greater Phoenix. Take a step back in time on a 60-minute guided tour of the house, including all the living areas, and learn about what life was like in the early days of Phoenix.
To continue the fun, just a few steps away is the Arizona Science Center, where both kids and adults alike can enjoy more than 350 interactive permanent exhibits, as well as special exhibits featuring dinosaurs, astronauts, mummies and more.
If you're in town with children, the Children's Museum of Phoenix across the street — named one of the best children's museums in the country — offers hundreds of hands-on activities and exhibits for children up to age 10.
Also located onsite is the Lath House Pavilion, which hosts a variety of popular annual events. Mark your calendar to shop the best local artisans and makers twice a year at Phoenix Flea. Phoenix Pride's annual two-day Rainbows Festival, is a street fair-style celebration of the city's LGBTQ+ community that features live entertainment, vendors, food trucks and more.
The Stevens House was built in 1901 by Constance Stevens, a widow and clerk in the local retail business known as the New York Store. Simply known as The Bungalow today, this small home within Heritage Square is the place to shop for local, handcrafted goods and treats.
Don't miss photo ops in the Heritage Square rose garden or with an original horse-drawn carriage that's on display near the Rosson House.
