Lots of great seating options for kids - bleachers or individual chairs. Chicken tenders and fries are always a good choice for dinner. Younger kids can visit the playground upstairs to get some energy out and there are lots of concessions available.
Chase Field
Tons of loops, variety of animals, a petting zoo, a couple of splash pads, and you can spend a whole day wandering the zoo. Ask for help if you can’t find the butterfly garden and don’t forget to walk all the way around the bear exhibit.

It’s free! Go a little before sunset and set up some camp chairs to watch for the bats to head out for the night.
