Things To Do

Mill Avenue Shops

Oktober Fest @ Tempe Town Lake

Happening right down the street from the hotel! Features Live Music, Carnival, Libations, and more!

Desert Botanical Garden

Discover the Desert Botanical Garden for an unforgettable day! Stroll among cacti and desert flora, join a guided garden tour, or savor a locally sourced meal at Gertrude's, all against the backdrop of stunning desert scenery.

Tempe Butte (Hayden Butte)

Caffe Boa

This is our favorite restaurant in Tempe by far! Great food and even better service. Located about 5 minutes from The Vib Hotel where we'll be staying.

Phon D Sutton Recreation Area

The river holds a special place in our hearts, and Phon D is the epicenter of it. Take a walk along side the river, jump in to cool down, and you may even see the wild horses that visit often to eat and cool off (most often seen right before sunset).

Tempe Town Lake

We'll be lakeside for our Pasty Party on Saturday morning. Take a leisurely stroll along the shore, drop by the Tempe Center for the Arts, or rent a paddle boat for a fun twist on the scenery.

Hole in the Rock Trail at Papago Park

Roosevelt Row

During our first year together, Jam and I had a blast discovering every nook and cranny of the vibrant Roosevelt Row arts district. With its eclectic mix of restaurants, lively bars, and nearby sports venues, it quickly became our second home in the valley—a place that holds a special spot in our hearts.

Sedona

Sedona's majestic vortexes and stunning red rock views are only a 2-hour drive north from Tempe/Mesa. We love visiting Sedona whenever we can—it never fails to take our breath away. If you have the opportunity for a day trip, we highly recommend making the drive!
