Arizona Boardwalk

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.

This place has some pretty cool things to do. We went in the winter time so it was a little slow and not much going on. But there’s lots to do for kids! The butterfly exhibit is amazing! Definitely check out the museum of illusions! There’s a candy store in a few other shops as well. Great places to take pictures!

Arizona Boardwalk is a fun, nice & peaceful place to be. Especially on a nice warm day. Lots of sights, sounds, fun & eating options. A great way to spend 4 plus hours on any given day. Highly recommend you give it a try if you never have.

We had a fantastic day doing the American Diabetes walk here. It was so beautifully designed. They have something for everyone. Food, activities, and a wonderful area in the middle of is circular design that was great to hang out and see the large dinosaurs on display, drink our coffees and take photos on the multiple displays

We absolutely love Foam Frenzy at AZ Boardwalk! 🌊🫧 It’s so much fun for the kids (and honestly the adults too!) tons of bubbles, music, and nonstop laughter. The whole atmosphere at AZ Boardwalk makes it even better with great food spots and other activities nearby. A perfect place for family fun and summer memories. We can’t wait to come back!

The Aquarium and Butterfly Wonderland were here. We did not visit the aquarium. I found it a little pricey. Numerous sculptures throughout. Some souvenir shops and candy store. A nice place to walk. There is also a Merry Go Round.

We spent an entire day there and didn’t get bored. There’s lots to do with package deals. It’s fun for the entire family. I recommend buying tickets for the dinosaur fight. The fights were entertaining.

There’s a lot of different attractions here for all age groups. We mostly come here for the aquarium since we as seasonal pass holders. My kids love going there. But the dinosaur and butterfly attractions are also super fun and kid friendly. You can easily spend a few hours here.
