My Parents are coming to visit me in Arizona. Where are some good places to take them?|195645

I live in Phoenix and we already planning to go to Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley in SE Utah and the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. What can we do in the Phoenix Area? I heard Payson is also nice.

take them to down town and show the base ball park,basketball arena.
To Arizona mill Mall, Take dinner at Scottsdale,,,,Sedona is nice,,,,and just enjoy the wheater....good luck ... Arizona sell Itself..................

how could you live there and not know where to go for touristy things..you live in phx and have no idea what there is to do there ??

Take them to Tombstone. It is south of Tuscon, and the home of the OK Corral. Also, you can drive over to Nogales Mexico, and do some bartering. My family and I did that trip and enjoyed it.

You live in AZ and don_t know how or where to entertain your parents... ???

I live in tucson az!!! how cool. in phoenix you can take them to the imax theater! that would be fun for them! you have to take them to all the places u listed above!!! what about tombstone!?! and for a culture change take them to nogales!

I understand your need to find things to take your parents to. I lived in Phoenix 10 years before I discovered different things to do...people that aren_t from here don_t have a clue how really big it is here and if you live in ...Tempe...you don_t have a clue what to do in Glendale, or Mesa, or Scottsdale...you have to live here to get that, so I did some research and here are the 10 Best Things to do in Phoenix from an unbiased source (knowing these are not necessarily where I would pick ...but it_s a start) If you click on the link below you can research each of these places and it gives you time and directions. Have fun with your parents!
