Alrighty folks, it is officially here. Summertime in Arizona, land of triple digits. That’s right, 3 or so months of running from the house to the car to the office to the car. Wash, Rinse & Repeat. It is the time that we float in 90 degree water outside drinking fermented water (generally Miller, Coors or Corona) and call it refreshing.
All that being said I decided to snoop around the net and come up with some ideas of things we can do outside of the house because it is not like we are grounded. We are allowed to go out and play if we so choose. Special note, I did include ideas with air conditioning. I’m not that mean of a person.
Without out further fondue (ado) here are some of the interesting things I have found to do during the Arizona Summer.
1) VisitPhoenix.com has quite a few Museums on the list. History and Air Conditioning, you can’t go wrong. One of my Favorites is the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) – Check out their Concert Calendar.

2) Maverix – Brought to you by the Bowlero Empire. Go on TikTok and check out their crazy bowling lanes. Plus I think they have Passes and Specials… And did I mention Cold Drinks and Nachos!

3) Axe Throwing – Like you need a reason. Our Friends at Lumber Jaxes has Margaritas, Mojitos and did I say Axes!!! Come on now. Always a great time!

4) Kartchner Caverns State Park – Have you heard of it? Well check it out and tell them Kubla Khan sent you. They have Tours (book in advance) going in different parts of the caverns.

5) Flash Light Nights at Desert Botanical Garden from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm – bring your own flashlight and check out the nocturnal night life (plants and animals), as well as live music, and food trucks. There is a fee to get in.

6) Culture Pass – This pass gets you in to many of the Museums, Arboritums and such through out Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Sedona.

7) Early Morning Hikes – I recommend the Arizona Highways Summer Hiking Guide. Not just for locations but also for preparation.
