I'm Heading to Phoenix Can Anyone Recommend Anything Cool To Check Out While I'm There?

I'm Heading to Phoenix Can Anyone Recommend Anything Cool To Check Out While I'm There? - Lemmy.World

I’m heading to Phoenix, AZ next week to visit family and I was just curious if any locals would be able to recommend me anything cool to check out. I am already planning on trying to hit the end of spring training but don’t have any other plans. I enjoy good food, art, geeky things like comic and games, and am also a LGBT but im open to any ideas!

Well, shit. Here you go. When I lived in Phoenix, I came up with this list of activities to do with a friend when they would visit.

• Mexican food (it’s everywhere and it’s better than where you live unless that’s LA or Mexico) • South Mountain is fun to drive and see at night • Zoo is a good one especially when the heat isn’t bad • Renaissance Festival is going on but it’s a drive out there • Spring Training is likely going on • Ostrich Festival is sometime in March (Chandler) • Soleri Bridge • Hole in the Rock • Love sculpture • Goldfield ghost town • Wildlife World Zoo • Tovrea Castle tour • Bed of Nails (AZ Science Center) • Rosson House • Biltmore (hotel) • Japanese Friendship Garden • Four Peaks Brewery • Durant’s • Carolinas • Schnepf Farms (May) • Cerreta Candy Co • Compass Arizona Grill (restaurant, get a window table 30 min before sunset)

Some of these are specific to the part of town I was in. Hopefully this helps give a couple ideas.
