I've got a few question to those that live in the Phoenix area. My girlfriend and i are taking a trip to Phoenix in late april to early may, we've got to get away from the cold up here.

What are some things that you gotta see/do in Phoenix, i was there about 6 years ago but don't really remember it too well. We are 20 years old so that leaves out all the clubs. What part of the city is the best to say in, Scottsdale, Tempe etc. Let me know some suggestions guys, thanks!

 

You can come to a cobalt meet. haha. Umm South Mountian is dope, it looks over the entire city. Umm... you can head out east and goto the lakes, like Canyon lake. Some cool dams out there too. I just moved here but those are what I know.

 

Umm.. Its a friggin desert. You have dirt, mountains, a few man-made lakes, some decent water parks, and a lot of smog. That is why I'm leaving Arizona in about a year. My advice get some sunglasses before you get here. I would love to see you come down in mid July and see if you still like Arizona. HAHAHAHAH!

Sorry If I'm no help, but we get enough snowbirds down here.

 

lol i was there in early november about 5 yrs. ago it was like 98 degrees, nice temp.

Are there any good outlets malls and stuff?

Does anyone here want to meet me and buy me booze? the legal age here is 18 and i'm only going to be 20, i will pay you a little extra of course to make it worth your while.

 

haha I'll buy u booze I dont care. haha

 

I'd REALLY apprecaite it if you could. It'll be a large order lol, spending 9 nights, it'll be a couple 40s and some beers. I'll tose you $20 for your service if that's cool.

 

Yeah no problem.

 

You can go to seaworld. that's what i'd do... just totally bypass AZ and go to San Diego.

 

It all depends on what you guys want to do. There are a few good malls around here. There is the Anthem Outlets if you take I-10 out to Anthem. There is Arizona Mills which is off the I-10 and I think baseline. There is Fashion Square in on Scottsdale Rd and Indian School. There is Desert Ridge off of the Loop 101 and Tatum. We have 3 big water parks that are pretty nice. There are a lot of really nice moutains. You can always visit up north to Flagstaff or the Grand Canyon. The Science Center is pretty awesome if you like that stuff (I do!!!). Just let me know what you want to do and I'll tell you more. I've lived here my whole life so I'm pretty knowledgeable. I hope this helps! Kim

 

Kim you forgot the new Chandler Fashion Mall. (Loop 101 and Chandler Blvd.)

Canyon Lake or Saguaro Lake are pretty nice. Sitting out on the dock at Saguaro at night is awesome when there is nobody else out there IMO.

If you like nature and don't mind driving a couple hours you could leave the Phoenix area and head north. Payson and Sedona are very nice. Montezuma's Castle, Montezuma's Well, Walnut Canyon, the meteor crater.

Like Kim said, the Arizona Science museum has some neat stuff. (if that's your thing)

Phoenix Zoo and Papago Park

For cars the Scottsdale Pavilions on Saturday nights has a weekly car show from 3:30pm-10pm.

As far as cities to stay in, Upper Scottsdale is the "upscale" area. Tempe is typically refered to as a College town (ASU). There are nice hotels in both areas, but some bad ones as well.

 

Kim and George have great points, but I'm with Austin on this one...

 

you can stay in your room and play PS2 and sit on the computer all day

thats what I do...

the only thing to do in AZ is...your girlfriend.

 

I forgot about that mall bc I don't live over there. I mean there are a lot of other malls I didn't add. You can stay in the west valley also. There is a lot of offer over here too. And the prices hotel prices arent bad. There are a million things to do all over Arizona just depending on what you want to do.

 

yeah there are lots of stuff to do its just that you have to plan and do em ... if you were here this weekend you could go to luke airforce base and watch the air show, go to one of the stadiums for a game, anthem is a cool place to shop, sedona is a one of a kind place and the grand canyon has a glass cat walk now so you can freak out as you check out the canyon below.
