The East Valley Tribune has profiled some of the more eclectic Valley museums in today’s Saturday paper.

My favorite museum in the metro area is the Arizona Wing CAF Aircraft museum. About six years ago I stopped in the museum on a Saturday afternoon on my way to the office to catch up on some work.

After about an hour I gave up on work and spent the rest of the day walking the museum with the enthusiastic docent. If you have any interest in aircraft or U.S. military history I’d highly recommend the AZ CAF museum.

The Herberger Theater in downtown Phoenix offers 6$ one-act plays at 12:10 pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon.

The plays generally last between 30-45 minutes. You may pre-order lunch from their caterer for $5.50-$6.50 or bring your own paper-sack lunch. The plays often sell out buy you can guarantee yourself a seat by pre-ordering lunch before 9AM on the day of the show. Every lunch reservation is assured a seat.
