Allyssa loves a good cup of coffee! Having lived in the area her entire life she knows the best of the best when it comes to local coffee shops! Recommendations include: Press Coffee(any location), Light Heart Coffee, The Eleanor, Fourtillfour, AND.... the Grotto Coffee and Gift Shop which is part of St. Bernadette Catholic Church! The Grotto will be open Thursday, Friday, and Sunday of the wedding weekend.
Two large outdoor malls that are just across the street from one another! They have tons of fun shops, lots of delicious restaurants, and dessert options if you're looking for a sweet treat to end the night!
A fun and close by train park for kids! Go for a train or carousel ride and enjoy a newly built indoor playground! They also have historic information about the McCormick Ranch area and a huge indoor museum. Allyssa grew up going here and encourages those with children to check it out if they are looking for something to entertain the little ones!
If weather permits, this is a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the flora and fauna of the desert landscape! They also have a wonderful restaurant on site!
We drive up to Cave Creek frequently! If you have free time we recommend visiting Buffalo Chip, Harold's, or Frontier Town while you're there! Buffalo Chip and Harold's both offer country dancing in the evenings and are family friendly before 10pm. Frontier Town offers unique western themed shops as well as an area for kids to walk around and be little cowboys and cowgirls!
