Things To Do
Old Town Scottsdale
Stroll through this lively area full of local shops, art galleries, and restaurants. It’s perfect for grabbing souvenirs or just enjoying the vibe. If you’re thirsty, grab a margarita at Diego Pops or check out one of the rooftop bars nearby.
Desert Botanical Garden
This spot is close to our hearts because it’s where we did our engagement photoshoot! Strolling through the beautiful cacti and desert blooms is magical—and it’s even more stunning in person. Bring your camera for this one!
Scottsdale Fashion Square
Love to shop? This upscale mall has everything from designer stores to great dining spots, all in air-conditioned bliss.
McDowell Sonoran Preserve
If you’re up for a hike, this desert preserve has gorgeous trails with views for days. It’s a great way to experience Arizona’s natural beauty (without hiking for hours).
Lost Dutchman State Park
Located at the base of the Superstition Mountains, this park is perfect for an easy hike or just taking in the beautiful desert landscape.
Goldfield Ghost Town
A little touristy but a lot of fun—explore this Wild West town with a saloon, shops, and even a little gold panning.
