We both love the Desert Botanical Garden. It's amazing how lush the desert can be. So, go check out where we almost held the wedding!
If you've never been, this is an absolute MUST SEE!! It's about 3.5-4 hours from Phoenix. It would make for a long day of driving, but I know people that say it's worth it.
If you're interested in trying your luck, you can always go visit one of several Indian reservation casinos nearby. They're clean, loud, and ready to pay out!! I mean, you're about due for a big win, right?!?! Tip: Pit bosses will comp drinks if you ask nicely.
The Phoenix Zoo is one of the largest non-profit zoos in the U.S., caring for over 3,000 animals, with nearly 400 species represented. Sure, it's hot out, but it's the zoo!!
Try Indoor Skydiving!! If you've always wanted to go skydiving but were afraid of blowing out a knee, then this is for you! You'll need to make reservations in advance! And, if you go, let me know. I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now.
