From ancient monuments to exploring the desert on horseback, to cheering your favorite professional sports team. Arizona’s Family Activities and attractions will make your families Arizona Vacation a memorable experience!
Everyone loves a cookout! A great family activity in Arizona is one of the many desert tours. Travel by jeep through the beautiful sonoran desert while your guide describes the many different animals and plant species you may encounter. When you reach your destination, enjoy an evening cookout around the campfire, with singing and storytelling, just like the cowboys of the old west.
Cheering your favorite team is great family fun!
Arizona is home to several sports teams, including football, hockey, baseball and basketball, in addition to being the spring training grounds for many professional baseball teams. What better way to spend an afternoon or evening with the family than at a professional sports game. University of Phoenix Stadium for football and Chase field for baseball are two of the most modern stadiums in the country, and both have retractable roofs. Both of these stadiums offer guided behind the scenes tours that are very interesting and inexpensive.
For summertime fun, a water park is one of the Arizona Family Activities you do not want to pass up!
If your visiting Central and Southern Arizona in the summer, be prepared for temperatures that soar above 110 degrees. You and your family will need to cool off fast, and an Arizona Waterpark is just the thing. Parks such as Big Surf and Waterworld provide needed relief with huge water-slides, lazy tubing rivers and swimming areas. Bring the kids for an entire day of fun in the Arizona Sun at one of these great family attractions.
Arizona Zoo’s and Animal Parks are great family fun!
Arizona is lucky enough to have several great zoo’s and animal parks located in all areas of the state. One of our favorites is Out of Africa Wild Animal Park in Camp Verde. At a higher elevation than Phoenix and Tucson, this area is cooler in the summer and more enjoyable for outdoor adventure. Kids have the opportunity to feed and pet the giraffes and other animals. Call in advance and find out when feeding time for the lions is, You don’t want to miss this.
Great family fun and activities abound in Arizona. With so many great attractions, wonderful parks, monuments and some of the finest museums in the world, your Arizona Family Vacation will never be dull.
