"Hanny's is all about the experience. From the "never-ending" elevator-shaft illusion to the mirrored maze near the bathrooms to the creepy dolls in the basement, this place is worth wandering around."

"In the winter months, grab a hot drink from Starbucks and hang out by the fireplace at night. Weekday evenings tend to be less crowded -- people huddle around the fire on the weekends when it's busy."

"It may seem dull during the day, but this place really comes alive at night. Stop by the fountain after dark and watch the light show."

"A cute little coffee shop with great coffee and even better hot cocoa. There's often live music on the walkway outside, which you can watch and hear from a window if you prefer to stay indoors."

"This is a great place for picnics and for walking around to check out the historic buildings. A good spot for portrait photography, too, if you're willing to pay the $100/year for a permit."

"If you're a photographer (and even if you're not), this is a great place to get a photo of the Phoenix skyline -- especially at sunset."
