Family friendly amusement park, mini golf, and arcade. More info, including current hours of operation can be found on their website. We’ve taken our 15 year old son and had a blast. The Elite Pass is $55 per person (at the time we wrote this in Sept. 2022). It gets you unlimited rides in the amusement park, limited arcade tickets that you can add to once inside, and one 18 hole mini golf pass (there are several courses to choose from). Just the amusement park is $45 per person. Just mini golf is $14 per person for 18 holes. They sell standard amusement park fare food-wise.

While Phoenix offers several excellent mountain parks for hiking, biking, and trail running, this one is closest to our house. This is probably common sense, but please be sure to check the forecast and avoid going in the heat of the day, especially during the summer months when doing so can be deadly. Be sure to bring plenty of water and/or electrolyte drink and salty snacks. There are lots of trail map apps out there, but the Trailforks App is super simple and will get you what you need if you’re looking for extra easy navigation on the trails.
