| Arizona Fall League Opening Day Various | Tue., October 7 | Central Phoenix | |

| The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition Arizona Science Center | Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience."

| Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant |
Daily, 10:00am more dates/times |
Peoria | |
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII.

| Food Club The Firehouse | Every week Tuesday, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |

| "Up From the Ashes: Phoenix Goes to Mars" Arizona Capitol Museum | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday | Central Phoenix | |
Let's not pull punches. Phoenicians detest Tucsonans, their Birkenstock flip-flops and patchouli cologne, their laissez-faire approach to life, their liberal voting habits. (On the other hand, we've got Sheriff Joe and the idiots who keep electing him, so maybe theyre on to something.)... More >> |
