Family Spring Break in Scottsdale, Arizona

Spend the morning in Old Town Scottsdale, exploring the historic district. It is full of art galleries, boutique shops and southwestern-style architecture. Stroll down Scottsdale Waterfront for scenic views of the Arizona Canal. Grab breakfast at Prep and Pastry or Olive and Ivy.

Head over to Scottsdale Stadium to catch a San Francisco Giants spring training game. Tickets are generally affordable, especially if you purchase in advance. Arrive early for a chance to meet some players and enjoy the lively atmosphere. After the game, make your way to The Old Town Tortilla Factory for some authentic southwestern Mexican food. Check in to your resort and enjoy the amenities for the rest of the day.

Enjoy Scottsdale’s mild weather and get outside in the morning by visiting one of our beautiful parks. Head over to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. This park has a mini-train ride, carousel and museum, which are all affordable and fun.

Before returning to the resort, give Oregano’s Pizza a try, they offer delicious pizza, pasta and more in a fun, lively atmosphere. It’s a local favorite and very reasonably priced.

Spend the afternoon relaxing at your resort in the pools, in the lazy river or on the slide.

Pro tip, if your resort doesn’t have a water park or slide, use Resort Pass to visit one of our many local resorts that do!

Start your day with a visit to Hole in the Rock, a natural wonder that’s accessible for the whole family. Then visit The Phoenix Zoo or Desert Botanical Gardens.

Spring Training is back on the agenda, but this time at Salt River Fields, at Talking Stick. This is home to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. The facility offers a great atmosphere with a more laid-back feel compared to larger stadiums.

Hit up The Sugar Bowl for lunch or dinner. It’s a local favorite.

Pack up at your hotel and take a quick stop at the pool or spa before heading home.
