Mineral and rock collectors will not want to miss the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum. The museum is open on weekdays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and major holidays.

Not all gated neighborhoods include resort-style recreational facilities. Most have a community pool and clubhouse but others may not. Some smaller developments offer no more than a playground for the kids or a natural open area where residents can walk their dog.
