10 cool things to do in metro Phoenix

Whether you’re looking for great shopping, cool dining, fun hikes, or family-friendly activities, Phoenix will help you.

Here is a selection of 10 interesting experiences and interesting activities that you can enjoy in the fifth largest city in the United States

• Shopping options for any budget and interests: Start at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Even if you can’t afford to shop—luxury retailers include Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Gucci—it’s a great place to window shop and people watch. Try Tanger Outlets in Glendale or Phoenix Premium Outlets near Chandler for deals on clothing, accessories and more. Fancy a beer or cocktail while you shop? Visit Desert Ridge Sip & Stroll. And if retro or unique is your style, they are there vintage and used clothing stores throughout metro Phoenix, including Antique Sugar and Wang’s Closet.
• Explore downtown Tempe from Tempe Town Lake to Mill Avenue: The first Super Bowl Arizona hosted was in Tempe; State farm stadium did not exist. Much has changed in Tempe since then, but downtown, known for its street, Mlynovy prospect — while different, still buzzing with bars and shops (but RIP Long Wong’s), a mix of ASU students and everyone else. Or take a walk to Lake Tempea man-made body of water (it’s a desert) that’s surprisingly cool — and a great spot for sunrise and sunset photos.
• Downtown Chandler is a walkable place to find food and fun: It’s a bit of a walk from some parts of town — the Valley is nothing but sprawling — but Chandler Center has a nice vintage charm. And also several bars and restaurants. It sits on several palm-lined blocks between Chandler Boulevard and Frye Road. Start at SanTan Brewing Company and work your way up. Maybe stop by LOOK Dine-In Cinemas.
• Get to the Museum of Musical Instruments: The Museum of musical instruments curates a world-class collection representing more than 200 countries. Guests can explore the gallery of hands-on experiences or take part in a concert in the 300-seat music theater. The newest special exhibit, Rediscover the Treasures, presents 6,000 years of rare instruments, including the first ukulele and the instruments and stage wardrobe items Prince owned and used. The MIM Artist Gallery includes items belonging to Super Bowl halftime performers Maroon 5 and The Who.
• Phoenix Art Museum: It museum in downtown Phoenix is the largest fine arts museum in the entire Southwest with a permanent collection of more than 19,000 works, with exhibitions ranging from the magical realism of Philip K. Curtis’s Arizona landscapes to “Mr. You Can Hear This City Song,” exploring the manga-inspired world of one of Japan’s most popular contemporary artists.
• Heard Museum: Mission in Heard Museum “to be the preeminent museum in the world for the presentation, interpretation and promotion of American Indian art, emphasizing its intersection with broader artistic and cultural themes.” It’s definitely evident, especially in highlights like the current installation Far From Home: Stories of an American Indian Residential School and On Service: Veteran American Indian Artists and Tributes. The museum also hosts the annual World Hoop Dance Championships. And don’t miss the gift shop, which offers an incredible selection of jewelry, duck figurines, and more.
• Phoenix Zoo: This is a great zoo. And what better time of year to spend a day outdoors in Phoenix when most of the country is in the grip of winter? You might not even need a jacket. Nearly 400 species of animals are spread over 125 acres of Papago Park, divided into four themed areas: American Southwest Flora and Fauna, African Trail, Tropical Trail, and Children’s Trail, which includes a petting zoo and a really cool play area. There is also a safari train and camel rides.
• See Mysterious castle: Boyce Luther Halley created this 18-room three-story “castle” for his daughter, Mary Lou, from found or inexpensive items, from auto parts to telephone poles and railroad tracks. It is said to be held together by a mixture of mortar, cement, calcium and goat’s milk. Yes, goat’s milk! Life magazine published a story about the castle back in 1948. The headline summed up the mystery appeal thusly: “A young girl rules the strange secrets of a fairy-tale dream house in the Arizona desert.” The mysterious castle is open for tours from October to May.
• Dobbins Point on South Mountain: Climb to Dobbins Point on South Mountain—the largest municipal park in the United States, by the way—and watch the sunset paint the sights of the Valley below. The road is paved, so the only problem is the turns (and steep descents) on this way. Then head out of the park and a few miles up Central Avenue to Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles. You’ll go over your calorie limit for the day, but it’s worth it.
• Take a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Winter Home and Desert Laboratory, located in the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Taliesin West, founded in 1937, is one of the architect’s most personal creations, according to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation; he and his students built structures from scratch using the natural surroundings. Taliesin West hosts daily tours and special events such as sunset happy hours and movie screenings. Check the schedule on the website.
