Family attractions abound and we have compiled our list of the top 5 attractions for you to enjoy when you visit Phoenix so you and your family can enjoy a great day out and no-one is left out of the party.
Castles N' Coasters
For the adrenaline junkies amongst your family, Castles 'n' Coasters provides the only double loop roller coaster in eth entire state of Arizona - the Desert Storm! This recreational park also includes a very large range of entertainments, rides and activities to suit all ages including miniature golf, Go-Karts, bumper boats and a huge amusement arcade.
Enchanto Park
This is a 222 acre park complete with lakes, picnic areas and a range of activities including golf, tennis and swimming readily available for the visitor. The City of Phoenix also hosts free concerts in the summer months between April and October. In the center of the park is Enchanted Island especially for kids aged 2 to 10 and includes a playground, rides and a range of games for children including pedal boats on the lagoon, train rides and arcade amusements.
Phoenix Zoo
Located in Papago Park, Phoenix Zoo is world famous particularly for its collection of orangutans and Sumatran tigers. Here you will find more than 1,300 animals as well as 200 endangered species which the zoo maintains as part of a worldwide conservation and breeding program. There are four different trails for the visitor to follow and focusing on the main areas of interest at the zoo - Africa, the Tropics, Native Arizona and the Children's trail.
Waterworld Safari
Phoenix may be a desert city but there is no shortage of water, fun and games at the Waterworld Safari! With 25 acres of water slides, wave pools and other activities you and your family are sure to make a huge splash. Try the 1,100 foot Lazy River and lounge around while you work on your tan and relax while the children enjoy the play pool complete with supervision and lifeguards on continuous duty.
Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting
Go back to the origins of fire fighting with this museum which is hot. Modern fire fighting originated in 1725 and being a desert city, the risk of fire has never been far away for residents of Phoenix throughout history. Here you will find fire engines from the old days and many of the exhibits are family friendly so your family can actually get their hands on the tools used in fighting fires through the years. There are five exhibition galleries as well as a theater where films and videos demonstrating the history of firefighting are shown throughout the day.

Stand By Me [VHS] $2.75 A sleeper hit when released in 1986, Stand by Me is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the book Different Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses. It's about four boys ages 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to f... |

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues [VHS] $7.49 If someone ever put together a what-were-they-thinking top 10, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues would surely make the list. Based on Tom Robbins's '70s ode to freedom, whooping cranes, and ambisexuality, this Gus Van Sant film sat on the shelf for almost a year before its brief release. More of a curiosity than anything else, it tells the convoluted story of Sissy Hankshaw (Uma Thurman), the world's g... |

Signs $3.00 This B movie with noble aspirations is the work of a gifted filmmaker whose storytelling falls short of his considerable stylistic flair. While addressing crises of faith in the framework of an alien-invasion thriller, M. Night Shyamalan (in his follow-up to The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable) favors atmospheric tension over explanatory plotting. He injects subtle humor into expertly spooky scenes, b... |
