If you have a car, this museum is a must-see when you visit this area. Check out their website for details and events. It's a lengthy drive from my place, but trust me, this is so worth it for any music lover! You'll need most of a day to see everything there. They have a cafe on site. They also have a theater where some terrific performances are hosted.

Get around using Uber/Lyft, Light Rail or Buses.

Property Address: 917 S. Craver Place, Tempe, AZ 85281. The house is grey. (Don't pay attention to Google Map's confusing photos of the house! Google is using pre-renovation photos, when the house looked very different. Fortunately, Apple Map's photos are accurate.) By car: 10 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Light rail or bus: use the Valley Metro trip-planner at https://www.valleymetro.org/trip-planner. Closest light rail stop: "McClintock/Apache Blvd." Close bus stops: There are many bus stops within 2-10 minute walks of the house, depending on where you are coming fr

Delivery services are abundant here!

GrubHub, Uber Eats, Postmates, Instacart, Gopuff, Yelp, Amazon Whole Foods, and others all deliver here. We're a college town, so options are too many to list. I recommend using the Yelp app to see what's in in the area.
