Looking for awesome family entertainment on a budget? You don’t have to spend money to experience some of the best activities Arizona has to offer! Here’s a list of free things to do in the valley,
Take a Hike!
Arizona is one of the greatest areas in the US for recreational hikes. Whether you and your family are beginners or seasoned trailblazers, the perfect hike is out there waiting for you.
More experienced climbers will love Camelback Mountain, offering some of the most awe inspiring views of the valley. With an elevation of 2,707 feet, there’s lots of trailhead to conquer.
If you’re interested in a more abbreviated hike, you can make short work of ASU’s ‘A Mountain’ located in northern Tempe. Your family can enjoy incredible sunset views over the city and even peak over the rim of the neighboring football stadium.
Get Soaked!
Those scorching hot summer months can keep many valley residents indoors, but you can beat the heat for free throughout various parks in Arizona.
Scattered throughout the Phoenix metro area are dozens of splash parks and pop-jet fountains, perfect for very young children. Who needs expensive water park tickets with so many free splash parks to visit?
TGIF!
A tradition dating back for many years, Phoenix’s First Friday is one of the valley’s most unique art crawls. Taking place on the first Friday of every month in the downtown area, residents are invited to share in the arts and culture alongside the valley’s brightest minds.
From food, painting, fashion, live music – you name it – First Friday in Phoenix has it all.
