What can you do in Phoenix with your kids?
Phoenix has many interesting places that you can visit and fun activities that you can enjoy with your little ones. Here are the ones we prefer:
1. Exhibitions
Phoenix boasts a plethora of museums with exquisite exhibitions. The Arizona Science Center has more than 300 hands-on exhibitions. The Musical Instrument Museum has an Experience Gallery in which guests can play instruments from all over the world and learn how they are made. The Arizona Museum of Natural History has a wide range of artifacts dating from the creation of the Earth to modern times. Museums are one of the things to see in Phoenix as a couple.
2. Aquarium & Zoo
OdySea Aquarium features interesting ways of getting up close with aquatic life. Here you can see otters, penguins, sea turtles, and fish from every corner of the Earth. A submerged escalator descends through a deep-ocean tank and enables you to watch a shark exhibit. Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium has a 15-acre safari and 600+ exotic and endangered species. Don’t miss the tree-top skyride and safari train.
3. Pueblo Grande Archeology Park
Pueblo Grande Museum is part of a 1500-year-old archeological site. The trail includes the prehistoric Hohokam village that has a ballcourt, replicas of prehistoric houses, and an excavated platform mound. Children can participate in hands-on activities at the largest archeological site in Phoenix. This is also one of the things that makes Phoenix a good place for solo trips.
4. Indoor skydiving & aqua parks
Indoor skydiving is fun, comfortable, and safe for people of all ages. It enables an enjoyable experience without having to jump out of the plane. This is one of the best things that you can do in Phoenix with friends. When it comes to aquaparks the first but not the only choice is Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Phoenix which has more than 30 water slides and attractions including a coaster that enables race in tandem tubes down two 830-foot slide tubes.
5. Goldfield Ghost Town
If you want to take a trip down memory lane and go back to the 1800s then Goldfield Ghost Town is the right place for you. This is the only authentic ghost town in Phoenix that illustrates the time of gold mining and gun fighting. Enjoy activities like a ride on Ariyona’s only narrow gauge train or pan for gold. There’s also an underground guided tour through mines and a jeep ride across the Apache trail.
