The OdySea in the Desert entertainment complex at the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community in Scottsdale will be adding a 78,000-square-foot open marketplace comprised of “themed” restaurants and individual retail offerings all centered in a courtyard with live stage entertainment. Slated to open July 2016, The Shops is part of the next phase whose other component is OdySea Aquarium, which will be the largest aquarium in the Southwest — all part of developer Amram Knishinsky’s planned 35-acre entertainment attraction that currently houses Butterfly Wonderland and OdySea Mirror Maze.
