Glendale's Deer Valley Rock Art Center will challenge what you know about art. In more than one way, this attraction will “rock” your world, as the center houses several unique examples of rock paintings and petroglyphs. Some of these impressive rock sculptures are displayed outside the venue, and can be seen in all their glory along the adjacent walking path. As you move along this picturesque trail, you will also be treated to the sight of a beautiful garden and an impressive amphitheater.

The hunt for hidden treasures is on when you visit Thrifty Joe's. This shop specializes in offering used books, music, games and much more.

The inventory is always changing, so make sure to check back often for new finds. Plus, if you don't see what you're looking for in the bins or on the shelves, the friendly staff can help you place a special order request to track it down for you and will notify you of its arrival.
