I come here far too often 😂 I find books every time I come here. They also have book signings (they have the schedule on the door or website) they mostly have thrillers, but also a little bit of everything. They are always so welcoming as well. The ...
The Poisoned Pen Bookstore
I just found out about this place and oh my goodness!! Books galore!! I can’t wait to go back next time to see what else I can find. This place also buys books if you’re in need of getting rid of some. They also have a small section in the back of th...
Half Price Books
Perfect spot to check out the sea life world on hot Arizona summer days. There’s a few options of pricing based on the things you’re interested in (virtual reality, behind the scenes, and sea turtle encounters) The basic admission is $17 and baby’s a...
SEA LIFE Arizona Aquarium
90’s woman’s vintage shop. The woman who owns it is the sweetest ever. She’s always bringing in new inventory, I go once a month. Prices are reasonable. Check out her instagram for more!

We love walking around the botanical garden, so so much to look and learn about. Obviously each season of the year different plants and flowers are blooming so the best time is in the spring.
Desert Botanical Garden
So much to do here!! My favorite store is the Barnes and noble haha! They have shopping, restaurants, an arcade spot, a stage for events, and a small splash pad for the kids
Tempe Marketplace
You gotta go! Such a vibe you won’t find elsewhere. We get the passion fruit gelato and it hits the spot every time.
Pussycat gelato Scottsdale
Such a beautiful experience. A little pricey but so worth it. Options also can include a steakhouse dinner ride, and a sunset ride (my favorite) make sure you arrive 30 minutes early!
Ponderosa Stables Inc
My baby loves coming to look at the animals! It’s a huge park! We have the membership so we just come and go, if you do get the membership they allow you in 30 minutes early in the morning so you can watch them feed the animals!!
Phoenix Zoo
I come every year!!!! If my family is coming during this time of the year I always bring them, and they love it. It’s an experience I’ve never seen before, great for the kids!
ZooLights
The most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen! It’s also one of the world’s highest fountains! Bring your kiddos, there’s a park for them to play, and plenty of grass to run around in and even have a picnic.
Fountain Park
A unique shop and I love it! Yes, even the locals love it. Each section it’s its own artist so not one booth is the same throughout the store!!! It also smells amazing I’m not sure what candle or air fresheners are in there but I can’t get enough of ...
The Merchantile of Scottsdale
A two story Barnes and Noble? Say less!!! It’s so beautifully set up and organized. Adorable kiddo section on second floor and story times! A big coffee area upstairs as well with plenty of tables to do some work!
