Looking for fun things to do in Scottsdale? Experience Scottsdale has compiled a guide on the inside scoop on Scottsdale’s top attractions and activities, from aquariums and architectural wonders to botanical gardens, wine tasting rooms and award-winning museums. 

Scottsdale is best known for Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall which has been renovated and all of the high end, world class brands are now available to us. 

However that’s not the only major shopping. In North Scottsdale, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter reside. Spending time in Kierland and/or the Quarter is a fun day especially when the weather is perfect outside!

There are over 300 golf courses in Phoenix and Scottsdale. While on the course, you will be surrounded by desert landscape, mountains and clear, blue skies. During the summer months, most prefer to golf earlier in the day due to the heat but also pay lower rates.  If you are chasing the perfect weather, you can expect to pay higher rates and play with more golfers on the course. Does it really matter if you’re able to spend all day outside in perfect weather? Probably not!

Education

Since choosing a school district that is right for your children and your family is an important decision, here are starting points for you to begin your research on the private and public education sectors in Scottsdale.
