Vistancia Solar Garden Peoria, AZ 85383

"It was nice. It isn't very big, but a quaint, novel place of nature within a community. There are various trails great for walking or bike riding. The downer is that the sun is no longer a terracotta color, but instead stripped down to its concrete core, and various signs for planets were vandalized. Sad that these neighborhood kids are so willing to reduce their parents' property value just for "fun". I'm hoping that it can recover some of its original look in the future."

"To be honest it's a great place and very educational for small children but there's a lot of vandalism there that kind of ruin the giant Sun like all the rocks on top of the giant sun and also a bunch of water streaks from the rain"

"I'm giving it 3 stars because, though it was a pleasant location and well- kept, it was not what we were looking for. We found it through a hiking website that apparently interpreted "Vistancia Trail System" as someplace to hike, rather than the walking trail through a subdivision that connects the parks. Again, for what it is, it's great, but it's kind of there for the people who live there. No parking or "trail head." No bathroom facilities, at least in the section where we walked. The Solar Garden, which is what attracted us, was just a step above totally lame. And NOT a good place for sunset or star-gazing."

"Such a cool little display!! My 3 year old loved looking at all the planets. It gave us an excuse for him to memorize them"

"This so neat. A scale model of the solar system. And it gives info on all the planets. Including temperature and is scaled to size"
