Great little Park Setting....Love the place/ambiance.... & Sculptures!! Maggionos Italian Restaurant is part of the FLW Park Setting.... That is a higher end $$$. Great area with many options to choose from !! :)

The place has a very spiritual feeling about it. I believe it is. about time that we start celebrating the beauty of man with phallic symbols.

As a lover of architecture, this memorial spire by Arnold Roy, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wrights design for a new AZ state capital building, is truly spectacular. The whole area is a tribute to FLW.

If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan.. tour the house then go to this site. Going to the house first will give you a better perspective on this site.

A pleasant place to spend some time. The spire doesnt look like much until you spend some time looking at it and notice the details. There are some other small sculptures and nice fountains and benches. Spend some time.

This spire is one of the spiriest spires in all of Scottsdale. It is rumored that some day in the distant future, a spire will be formed that will surpass this spire, but I dont see how such superstitions can be true.

The sculpture garden around the Spire is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. There is a lovely peaceful fountain surrounded by a large circle of benches. The best time of day to visit is just before the sun sets, because theres usually no other people around and you can enjoy the sculptures and listen to the trickling of the fountain at your own leisure.

We enjoy spending time under the shade and looking at the statues. We played some Pokemon Go and did a little shopping. We plan on going back.

Very pretty, tiny area with interesting statues, nice landscaping, shaded sitting area, water features, upscale dining & common shops. Convenient to the 101. I wasnt able to give it 5 stars because none of the water fountains were on during my visit. Worth the brief stop if you are near the area & are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan.

Beautiful spire designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957, but still modern. Surrounded by sculptures and lighted trees.

Iconic North Scottsdale landmark based on a Frank Lloyd Wright blueprint proposal for the Arizona Capitol building. Nice area with benches to sit and look at Sonoran desert flora.

I love Frank Lloyd Wright living in Chicago his work is everywhere. The houses he built are works of art, not just a house. I love seeing his name on my favorite street ️.

One of the best spire Ive seen. Not too thin , not too thick... Perfect height. Wow that is one good looking spire and blue too... very nice.

It is a beautiful sundial spire and gardens based off the original Frank Lloyd Wright design for the Arizona capital building which was not built. The design was thought to be too futuristic back in the 1950s when FLW drew it. Hang around and notice the change of the shadow on the sundial. Fountains, shade, other FLW designed elements in the garden. Best to see it in winter when it isnt hot outside.

I loved every minute of this place. I went to the gift shop twice! Our tour guide was outstanding. Not only was he informative but he was humorous as well. He made it all the more better. I recommend visiting this house. Frank Lloyd Wright, you me good sir, were an amazing architect/designer. I can not wait to go on tours of the other houses you have designed.

Great Landmark....lets me know Im almost to FLW & Scottsdale Rd. Its beautifully lite up at night, so whether day time or night you can always see it from afar.

It is a spire, that sticks up in the air. Im not even sure why it has the name (no interpretative sign was to be found)It does look cool, but if youre in the summer heat, just admire the unicorn as you drive by

The Legend ️.

Its neat, wouldnt plan an entire day to look at it though. More of an oh neat than something you would commit to writing a college paper on the significance of. It does have some neat little eateries around it as well as dealerships.

I enjoy Frank Lloyd Wrights work in general. The spire is colourful it look at his other work as well.

Review №44

It was neat, but not as awesome as some pictures make it. There is a nice little park nearby as well. If you are here anyways, go ahead and take a look, if you are thinking of driving to see it? Id say pass.

So awesome

Got to admit I didnt even know this was an attraction until it popped up on Google guides. I go shopping at Trader Joes and eat at Picazzos. Its a cool spire. Ive always liked it. Next time I go Im going to take a closer look.

I always love the scenery when I take the bus ride from Mesa and thinking about maybe someday to live there and two thumbs up.

Review №49

Its a beautiful generic sundial or, oblisque with generic indentations for hieroglyphs..Although the original function of a sundial would have been carved from stone and used to observe the shadowy casts..This modern day sundial also serves as a beautiful sculpture constructed with modern prefabricated material that illuminates with light at night.

There is no on-site information about the spire. What looked like an information station was a covered bus stop. The spire was cool but the 5+ vagrants were unsettling.

Built with modern materials from FLWs design for the Arizona State Capitol, which unfortunately was too edgy for the decision makers of the time.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Spire. It is iconic to Scottsdale, and they have some seating at the base. It is near a busy intersection, but still a relaxing place to be. Look for it on TV during the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Love it!
