The tree is on display during the Christmas season in the center of Dr. A.J. Chandler Park in downtown Chandler. It is made up of 1,000 tumbleweeds, sprayed with fire retardant & white paint, and decorated with over 1,000 LED lights. Every year in early December, the city of Chandler hosts a Christmas parade and tree lighting ceremony. It's a fun tradition and a great time to come out and see families and the community come together.

The tradition of the tumbleweed tree dates back to 1957. The tree lighting ceremony (first week of December) is free, and the tree stays up until Jan. 2nd. Approx 1,000-2,000 tumbleweeds are wrangled up by the Parks Department to create this awe inspiring tree that stands 33 feet high. The holiday display and Sugarland Canal of Lights is a great compliment to the downtown area of shops (boutiques, restaurants, San Tan Brewery, Hotels, etc). This is a MUST DO activity to add to your holiday festivities.

Did the make your own pizza paired with 3 wines with 3 different courses during the meal. Can do tours of the facility. Very educational. Also has exceptional products, like olive lotions and cleansing bars, etc. Outside seating area. Absolutely amazing place, especially if you like to support a local small business, want your cooking to represent the health found in local products and enjoy the benefits of organic over grocery store imports from China, Mexico and other little disclosed areas. All products are bottled in glass, never plastic. Exceptional service in their knowledge of olive oil and cooking.

They also have a wonderful Italian market with aisles full of specialty foods, plus the cutest kitchen knick-knacks and gifts -- perfect for the foodies in your life. The food is fresh and delicious, whether you enjoy it there or pick something up from the fridge to take home. When the weather is nice, it's lovely to sit outside under the olive trees, and during the summer there are plenty of comfortable indoor tables. It's the perfect little getaway for a couple of hours if you're in the area. The 40-minute olive oil education experience was so enriching and absolutely worth it. Just a quick note - summer is much quieter, but be prepared-- it gets really busy in the winter!

We got a giant pumpkin for our toddler to carve when we went on the weekend and there were way too many people for our liking. We came back during the week and it was much better so I would suggest going during the week right when they open at 3pm so you've got plenty of time to enjoy all the festivities. Admission: $12 general admission $10 with donated canned goods $6 for one-day pre-sale Kids 2 and under are free :) Free parking! I love that admission includes so many activities for kids to keep busy for hours. This year they added in a photo booth at the entrance which is so cute to help capture memories - often time it's hard to get a picture of the entire family if one person has to be the photographer so I hope this stays for the years to come! Corn maze, pallet maze, jumpers, train ride, petting zoo, slides, etc. are included. Food for petting zoo ($2) and pony rides ($5) are extra. Some things to keep in mind: They do not enforce mask policies here - you can wear them if you want to. Very dusty from all the dirt so maybe masks would be a good idea :) I would recommend wearing close toed shoes because of all the dirt/dust so you don't end up with brown feet... unless you're into that!

I always have a blast when ProAutoSports host their track days here…read more Speed enthusiasts bring their own cars and compete-either against each other or beat their own best personal times. We got to see street cars, exotic cars, small bore, large bore, open wheel series and karts race, corner and sometimes go off the track.

The drivers pits were tidy, garbage cans were easy to find and most importantly the bathrooms were clean and stocked! An awesome Sunday!

Not a bad seat in the house as far as the view goes and this year they had trams that would take fans to and from their parking areas when entering and leaving the races, which was nice when you have a bad knee like I do and walking takes the life out of you by the end of the event. Food selections were good as well, as there are plenty of stands and choices. I live 5 minutes from here too which is convenient for me to come for the races and l will definitely be back!

It was such a great decision!! Plan for a long lines to enter, but once you're in, almost everyone will be dazzled by the lights and join in for the merriment!

Second spin class ever and now I'm reminded on why I didn't sign up for more spin classes after the first class I took (also with Yelp). The bike remains stationary but you'll go to Hell and back. Stand up, sit down, run, push ups, add that tension, and ride that bike like you stole it! Everything hurts... You'd be surprised how heavy a 4lb. bar can get when you're pulsing for three minutes with it. Thank you Yelp, Hailey B., and Cyclebar for helping me get some cardio in today! I wish you much success! And props to Heather for being a GREAT instructor! I'm glad I don't work tomorrow. I think I broke my girly bits on my bike...

Dry towels and wet towels provided before and after the class. Facility, locker and equipment were spotless. The check in process was great too. Tell them the shoe size, find your name, and bike number on one of two tablets then you're done. That simple! It was just not my day. My locker key didn't come out after I locked. I had a hard time adjusting the seat and clicking on/off my shoe. The owner helped me finally got the shoe clicked on and bike adjusted. I guess some of the equipment and shoes were still really new. I do not suggest signing up for a bike in the back corner unless you like HOT cycling. You will have limited a/c. The big water bottle was perfect. It didn't matter the water wasn't as cold. The best source of proteins before and after the class: power bars, Fire Pie pizza, salads, beers, wines, and bubbly. Best workout to burn off all that and the next day too. Thank you to Cycle Bar for hosting and Hailey for coordinating another work it YEE!
