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.

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!

The full menu has many creative options and also traditional italian dishes. I was tempted to skip the special menu to order from that. Our service was wonderful all throughout our meal. Very friendly and helpful waitress. The food was delicious with thoughtfully crafted sauces and flavors. I would have liked some actual lobster in the bisque, but it was quite flavorful nevertheless. The pork entree was butterflied and on the bone. Quite delicious and a generous portion size. Two grown men had to take half of it home as leftovers. The eggplant was reminiscent of a homemade family recipe and laden with gooey cheese. The gelato to finish the meal was rich and creamy. I wish the restaurant wasn't so loud inside but the patio seating would have been better to accomplish that, if the weather was nice. We will definitely need to come back to try out some of the other menu options. Definitely a great new find to our restaurant options in the east valley.

The decor and atmosphere were very nice and I can tell this is a popular hangout. The employees were a bit standoffish is all but still got my order in a quick manner. I'm not sure if it was because of the 15-18 minute drive back home or what it was, but I was very sad when I got a slice out and began to eat it. It was warm enough but very tough as far as chewing goes and warming it up in the microwave did not help. I would love to give this another chance maybe on my lunch break so that I can have a fresh slice but we will see!

Showed up and the restaurant was relatively busy with only a few open tables inside. The restaurant has a fish tank with some large fish which was cool. We were immediately greeted to get drink orders. We ended up ordering the 10 inch Tuscan pizza (it came cut into 6 slices). We also ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. After about 15-20 minutes both dishes arrived. The Chicken Saltimbocca was outstanding. The flavor was delicious. Would highly recommend. The Tuscan pizza was also great. We were worried it might be dry but did not have a problem. Overall, the meal was wonderful and we will definitely come back to try more. Our server was kind and efficient and overall it was an awesome meal.

We thought we would have to go somewhere else. Instead we were treated to a very nice "candlelit" experience that was still up to the very high standard that we had come to expect from Pestos. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. We all had a great time. Bravo to you and your staff for overcoming a difficult situation and making it great.

It is always nice to see Joyce with her friendly smile. We had about 15 people showed up to this UYE and was glad to meet new people and it was good to catch up with a few I've met before. I finally met April in person and was happy know we have more in common. She was really fun person to hang out and I am looking forward to getting together with her and our common friend (non-yelper) soon. It was fun 2hr or was it 3hrs? A group of people who just enjoy good food and conversation. I enjoyed Brett sandwich and Linh's crispy cream doughnut. I just have to make sure I exercise extra to burn those calories. Lastly, Thank you Grace (a person behind the counter) for allowing us to stay as long as we did. It wasn't possible without great service of the Glacier Snow staff. It sure was a fun event.

We got there around 2:00, got in line and waited about 20 minutes when a staffer comes out with a bullhorn telling everyone that they're not selling anymore tickets until 4 pm because they ran out of food.

We would have loved to experience this first annual Chandler BBQ event... however due to some piss…read morepoor planning we and hundreds of other people were left out in the cold (or should I say hot). See... this event was supposed to go from 10am-9pm on Saturday, but by 1:30pm when we arrived they announced via megaphone that no more tickets were being sold and they were apparently "out of meat". Please tell me how an event which is supposed to go all day until 9pm blows it load just three hours into the festivities? To make matters worse, when we were turned away they explained that they'd be re-opening ticket sales at 4pm and more food would be available. So we planned our whole afternoon around this, and wasted time until 4. When we arrived for our second attempt of the day, to our shigrin they changed their minds yet again and reneged on what they had said earlier. Now... tickets were on sale for five bucks... but there was no BBQ!!!! No BBQ at a BBQ Fest... ex-fucking-scuse me? Basically five bucks to walk around and stare at a bunch of empty BBQ reminants... it just didn't make much sense. So many people drove across town to come here (including us) and I really hope next time they put some more time into the planning of this event... it has promise. Hopefully we'll be able to return next year and actually be able to review the food... and not the ill planned event itself. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
