Things to Do
South Mountain Park Trails
These mountains are practically in our back yard, and we love hiking to Hidden Valley, Fat Man's Pass, Mormon Trail, and heading to the top to see a view of Phoenix
Camelback Mountain
Hike Echo Canyon to the top for one of the best views of Phoenix. Don't forget your water.
Papago Park
Family friendly hiking around the Zoo. Make your way to Hole in the Rock.
The Flatiron
One of the more strenuous hikes in Phoenix. Great view of the valley from the top.
Tortilla Flat
Take a trip around Canyon lake for beautiful views, ride the steamboat and dine in an Old West restaurant.
Musical Instrument Museum
Massive collection of instruments from around the world!
OdySea Aquarium
The biggest aquarium in the southwest! We love visiting here with Ari, seeing all the animals, and petting sting rays. If you have an extra day or two, we highly recommend coming here. Be sure to use the bathroom in the lobby - it backs up to the shark tanks! The undersea carousel is one of our favorite parts, and the only attraction of it's kind.
Butterfly Wonderland
A wonderland of butterflies for the whole family!
Topgolf
Great place to sit and watch people try their hardest to swing a golf club.
Phoenix Zoo
Feed the giraffes or walk around the monkey cage!
Tempe Beach Park
Take a walk or ride around the lake or stop into one of the many bars, shops and restaurants that line Mill avenue.

Carolina's
Best tortillas in town! Get the machaca or the machaca mix burrito.
Little Miss BBQ
You might have to show up before opening to avoid the crowds. Try the North Phoenix location too! The brisket is the best you can get in Phoenix.
