A Must-Visit "Accidental" Discovery!
We stumbled upon the Arizona Boardwalk by accident while looking for a local aquarium to kill some time before our flight, and it was worth every bit of the extra trip! We ended up staying for hours—there is an incredible amount of stuff for both kids and adults to do.
Why we loved it:
• Great Value: If you’re planning to see more than one thing, definitely buy the multi-attraction tickets. It’s a great way to save money and lets you bounce between different spots like the Aquarium, Butterfly Wonderland, or the UFO Experience.
• Picky Eater Approved: There are tons of food choices (we saw everything from Johnny Rockets to the Dinosaur Grill), making it easy to find something even for the most selective eaters.
• Unique Shopping: The gift shops are actually interesting! They have one-of-a-kind finds—we even picked up some "rattlesnake eggs" (the classic gag gift) which the kids loved.
• Space to Play: The layout is very open with plenty of room for kids to run off that last bit of energy before sitting on a plane.
Verdict: Whether you have two hours or a whole day, this is the best spot in Scottsdale for families. We’ll definitely be back (on purpose this time!) next time we’re in town.
