Things To Do

Desert Botanical Gardens

If you are looking to get outside and enjoy the weather or take some beautiful photos, this is a great place to explore the desert while you're here. Go on their website to check reservations or tickets.

Papago Park Hike

If you are looking for an easy hike (walk) in the desert, it doesn't get more desert than Papago Park. For all our hiking friends, this is not a vertical hike, more of a walk through a beautiful park. Those looking for a more challenging hike, check out the next recommendation, Camelback Mountain.

Camelback Mountain Hike (Echo Canyon Trailhead)

This is not a beginner hike, but from the very top you have a 360 degree view of Phoenix . You have to climb big rocks, pull yourself up a steep incline at one point, its about 2.5 miles out and back of straight incline of about 1,500 feet. We LOVE this hike for a good work out, but it wipes us out for the rest of the day! If you choose to do this hike, have fun, and BE SAFE!

Phoenix Art Museum

Such a cool experience to see a lot of unique and 3D art. Even if you are not a fan of museums typically, the Phoenix art museum is a really cool experience! Makes for a great date night! If you enjoy museums, check out Arizona Science Center!

Phoenix Zoo

Spring Training Baseball Games

It may be the end of the Spring Training Season, but if there happens to be any spring training games while you're here in Phoenix, its a good time to get outside and enjoy the sun!

Medieval Times in Scottsdale

We have yet to experience this, but everyone we know who has been has loved it! We actually know one of the knights! They do jousting and acting and a lot of crowd interaction!

Arizona Biltmore Golf Club

The Biltmore has a beautiful course that is a great experience. Apparently everyone in Arizona golfs, and this is the place to do it. So regardless of what course you find in Phoenix, you can't go wrong. Text James if you want any other course recommendations!

Westgate Entertainment District

Bars, restaurants, axe throwing, ice cream, live music. A fun place to explore day or night!
