THE BEST ice cream, and for a truly novel experience, you can get an ice cream filled doughnut. They use full fat cream and the highest quality ingredients to make their ice cream. The shop is in a super fun/edgy arts district too, so there is a always a lot to see. Especially on first Friday.

If you’re traveling with kids, in the summer, check out a water park! I never thought I could be chilly when it’s over 110 degrees out, but here in the desert playing in the water will do that for you.
Golfland Sunsplash
155 W Hampton AveAnother fun water park! Check Groupon for discounts on this one. A season pass may not run you much ch more than a day pass.

Sightseeing
This is a great place to get a leisurely tour of Phoenix while eating great local food. You’ll see the whole city in about an hour. You can read about historic buildings as you rotate by the views of them. I highly recommend going for sunset!! It’s low-cost for the genre but not inexpensive. Call for reservations, especially on weekends.
