"Explore Arizona" opens in Phoenix


Our new book/map store and outdoor information center, developed in partnership with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, opened for business today in downtown Phoenix. The center is still under construction, but we wanted to meet our customer's needs as soon as we can. A formal grand opening will be held this summer.

"Explore Arizona" is a one-stop shop for federal and state materials and publications on recreation, natural history, natural resources, and environment, with an emphasis on Arizona's public lands.

The center is on the ground floor of the Phelps-Dodge Tower at One North Central in Phoenix. We validate parking in the P-D Tower underground garage. Hours are 9am-6pm M-F. A preliminary website is up at www.explorearizona.org.
