1. Arizona Grand Water Park
The Arizona Grand Resort and Spa is a luxury hotel situated in Phoenix AZ. In 2014 it was voted as the #1 Staycation Spot in Arizona and it is also the only AAA Four Diamond All Suite Resort in Arizona. Although, better known as “The Water Slide Hotel” for good reason. The Arizona Grand is home to their very own Oasis Water Park, voted by the Travel Channel as one of the country’s Top 10 Water Parks. The kids could spend ALL day going up and down the slides, floating around the lazy river, playing in the wave pool and just hanging out in the splash parks. And, it doesn’t end when the sun goes down. On certain nights the hotel offers movies at dark so the kids can float around the pool and watch a movie. Plus they have been known to offer s’mores on certain nights as well. Definitely, kids dream and we all know when the kids are happy… mom and dad are happy too!
2. Dinner & Movie
I know many cities have dine-in movie theaters now that offer full menus. However there is not one as affordable as the AMC Dine-In Theatre Esplanade 14. The kids get a kick out of pressing the red button on their counter and ordering refills of their sodas. The health conscious love some of the healthier and tasty menu items like the hummus tray and salads. Plus, the seats are nice and cozy too. This is a great way to take a break from the heat and relax.
3. Hockey Game
Yes… the town is painted with baseball fans but Arizona is also home to the Coyotes – a major league hockey team. Take a break from baseball and chill in the ice rinks. The Coyotes fans are pretty into the game and so the arena has a great family-friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend catching a game while you are in town. Maybe you can score an awesome free shirt that your son will insist on wearing repeatedly. Gotta love his style!
4. Rustler’s Rooste Restaurant
While staying at the Arizona Grand make sure to stop by the Rustler’s Rooste. It’s worth a visit if you are traveling with your children. The restaurant sits on the top of a hill so it has some gorgeous views around sunset. But, it’s not known for its views… people go there specifically for the entertainment. It has a live steer out in front of the restaurant to greet you. They pop paper bull horn hats on the kids as they come in and then they send the kids down a slide to enter the dining area. I mean seriously… what kid doesn’t want to go down a slide… IN A RESTAURANT??? Once inside you hear the live band playing western music and you often see magicians and balloon artists making their way around all the tables. Then as if the kids weren’t having enough fun they end the kid’s meals with a can of homemade cotton candy.
5. The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa Phoenix-Scottsdale
This resort offers Villa accommodations as well as traditional rooms which make it super easy for larger families to fit comfortably. Kierland also has a water area. It includes a 110-foot waterslide, FlowRider, a lazy river, a shallow pool for the wee little ones and a water splash area. They offer cabanas to rent too but, I have found plenty of shade without having to pay. It also has an an-adults-only pool for those traveling without children.
Another great aspect of staying at Kierland is all of the activities they offer. From Princess & Pajama parties to yoga, hiking, and golf. They print out a handy guide called a “Pathfinder” weekly and they usually have it posted ahead of time online.
6. CHURN Ice Cream is a delicious thing to do in Phoenix
Anyone that knows me knows I am S.E.R.I.O.U.S. about my ice cream eating- ha! But, seriously… I LOVE ice cream and I am hard to please unless you’ve made it from scratch. So, you can bet I was S.T.O.K.E.D. when I found a homemade ice cream shop in Phoenix AZ. Churn is part of the Upward Projects Restaurant Group. They feature delicious freshly churned ice cream, coffee, baked treats and novelty candies. The BEST part is all of their yumminess comes sans the nasty additives, chemicals etc… that many ice creams have these days (2 fist pumps in the air). If you fancy yourself a visit I highly recommend making your own ice cream sandwich creation with their fresh baked cookies. It will not disappoint!
7. The Farm at South Mountain- Morning Glory Cafe
Speaking of deliciousness- minus the bad chemicals- why not have a super tasty farm to table breakfast on a local Arizona farm. Amazing setting and a delicious Monte Cristo sandwich… its a little slice of heaven. You need to get there early as it doesn’t take long for a line to form. However, if you do catch the crowd you can always take the kids on a walk around Maya’s Garden and see the gorgeous flowers. Or take them near the kitchen coop for a lesson on where real food comes from Or bring a ball and play some football while you wait. There is plenty of room to play.
8. Shopping
SHOP til you drop… and you can with all the lovely shopping malls I found in Scottsdale. There seem to be malls all over the place. Indoor, outdoor you can find both. And, while the munchkins may not last long there seemed to be enough to keep them entertained for me to get my shop on. Scottsdale Fashion Square, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter just to name a few
9. Downtown Scottsdale
Downtown Scottsdale is pretty charming. There are shops, galleries, bars and tons of dining options. If you have your kids with you I definitely recommend the Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor for a fun dessert. The pink booths and giant sundaes will keep smiles on everyone’s faces.
10. Okay… Baseball makes the list
It is spring training for Pete’s sake and it’s pretty cool to see the players in their preseason. Make sure you arrive extra early to the games and line up along the fence with some new baseballs and ballpoint pens. You can get some awesome autographs! Sitting on the lawn you can chat with the outfielders. The kids get a kick out of it!! Just make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and shade. It will be H.O.T.!!!!! You can look up the cactus league schedule. And if you’re spring break is in April check out the Arizona Diamondbacks at their beautiful ballpark.
