Things To Do
Boyce Thompson Arboretum
Located about an hour outside of Phoenix, Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a stunning desert oasis filled with beautiful gardens, trails, and mountain views. It also happens to be where we got engaged—so it’s an incredibly special place to us! If you're up for a little day trip, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy Arizona’s natural beauty and take in some peaceful desert vibes.
Phoenix zoo
If you’re looking for a fun daytime activity, the Phoenix Zoo is a great option! Home to over 3,000 animals and beautiful walking trails, it’s one of the largest non-profit zoos in the country. Fun fact: we went here on our third date, so it holds a special place in our hearts. ♡ Whether you’re into wildlife, nature, or just want to enjoy some sunshine, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon in the desert.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
Located in the heart of Scottsdale, this upscale mall is perfect for out-of-town guests looking to shop, dine, or just explore. With luxury stores like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Neiman Marcus, plus great restaurants and a movie theater, Scottsdale Fashion Square offers something for everyone—just a short drive from the wedding festivities!
