We’ve stayed at Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino & Hotel Resort multiple times and it’s been an amazing experience every single time! The rooms are spacious, comfortable and always spotless — perfect for a relaxing getaway. We especially love that it’s pet-friendly and our corgi always has a great stay too! 🐾 The casino floor is vibrant and lively, with a great variety of slot machines that keep the fun going. The dining options are fantastic — plenty of choices with consistently great food and service. The entire property is well-maintained, clean and has such a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a mix of comfort, entertainment, and excellent hospitality!

Great ride with great guides. We were in town for my birthday and this was a wonderful experience. I rode Romeo. He was a great horse, a bit stubborn at times, but a really great horse. With me being a first time rider, I felt comfortable and safe. We were able to see wild horses, a baby rattle snake, and an amazing sunset. It was a great experience I won’t forget.

A pleasant experience while here for a conference. The whole facility is clean and modern. A great steakhouse that should not be slept on and a beautiful pool to relax by! The casino was very clean and I’d say, rivals many I’ve visited in Vegas. Our room was spacious, clean and provided a great place to stay!

What an incredible oasis in the middle of a largely desert region! The shady trees and water bodies make it a great hiking area even during the summer. Short easy hikes and you can make them into longer trails according to the route you plan out. We went during peak summer so some of the ponds were dry, but still there’s a lot of water birds and other wildlife for bird watchers and nature lovers. We happened to go on a cloudy day and really enjoyed the place. There are benches to sit on and contemplate the view. All for free!

LOVE this place. Always find more good stuff here and end up taking lots of great items home. Never disappoints. The booths are filled with the best people and there's even terrific food (the breakfasts are delicious) and there's usually a dude or gal entertaining with live music. Super fun for the whole family. Good even in Summer but more vendors in Winter. You gotta check this place out!

Beautiful park. Awesome that ADA parking was no cost. Mostly clean. Bathrooms even pre game time were pretty gnarly. Friendly staff ..overall great

Chase Field Game Day Review – D-backs vs. St. Louis Cardinals I had an amazing time at Chase Field catching the Diamondbacks take on the St. Louis Cardinals! I was sitting just three rows from the dugout on the first base side, and the view was incredible. Being that close to the field really puts you in the middle of the action — you can hear the players, see the expressions, and feel the intensity of every play. The stadium was clean, well-staffed, and the energy from both D-backs and Cardinals fans made for a fun, lively atmosphere. Concessions were a bit pricey (as expected), but the variety of food options is solid. The retractable roof kept things comfortable, which is a big plus in the Arizona summer. Watching a game from that close, especially with a big-name team like the Cardinals in town, was a memorable experience. Whether you're a local or visiting, I highly recommend grabbing seats near the dugout for at least one game — it takes the whole experience to another level. 5/5 stars!

Wonderful zoo! Not too large so that you can walk the whole zoo of you want to get the full view of you don't spend too much time at one exhibit. Lots of shade along the way, plenty of water fountains available. They have planned for the comfort of the visitors. My photos certainly don't show the extent and great variety of the place...monkeys, orangutan, dromedaries, beautiful birds, nice splash pad for kids, individual displays of the local desert inhabitants, so much more. Nice gift shop, plenty of parking.

This is one of our favorite "happy places"! Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, unique and fun events, educational support for our own plants, and so many more things are what keep us coming back. It has something for everyone. Some of our favorite things so far have been getting married here, enjoying the yearly Boo-tanical Garden with the kids, having regular date days/nights here, and attending their plant sales. The restaurant and cafe are delicious, and the gift shop always has something worth taking home. We absolutely love the Desert Botanical Garden and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice date night, family time, or even just some "me time".

I love very close to the museum, there are so many events hosted here. I can see why, the space is stunning. I don't want to spoil too much because it would be great for you to experience all that you want. You can find friendly staff, stunning exhibits, lots of movement and places to see. The gift shop was there to support local and indigenous artists which I loved 😍 You can go to the gift shop and restaurant without getting a museum ticket. If you go to the museum, no backpacks, food or drinks. They will provide a free locker for you. I took a few photos that caught my eye, there is so much to see. These were my favorite works of art!

We’ve been visiting Wildlife World Zoo for years, and it’s been a joy watching it grow and expand over time. There’s always something new to see, but some of our favorites never change—like the peaceful Sky Ride and the incredible kangaroo walkabout, where you can get up close and personal with the animals. It’s one-of-a-kind. The mini coaster is a fun little thrill, and the tram ride in the back of the park is a must-do for the full experience. If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of baby animals in the nursery—a heartwarming highlight every time. The walk-through aquariums are always a hit, and the fact that they’re constantly adding new features keeps things exciting for return visits. The park is clean, the animals look healthy and well-cared-for, and there’s a good mix of things to do for all ages. There’s also a petting zoo, which is perfect for younger kids, and several other rides throughout the park that add even more variety to the experience. We usually visit during the week when it’s a bit quieter, though weekends offer more attractions and activities. A great tip for families: during Easter season, Hickman’s egg cartons often include buy-one-get-one-free coupons—a great way to save on what can be a slightly pricey admission. If you haven’t been yet, look them up and give them a chance—there’s something here for everyone, and it’s a great way to spend the day whether you're local or visiting.

Was my first time to Arizona on a quick weekend trip to visit family and came to the park around sunset. Wish I had more time to explore and hike the trails to enjoy more of what the park had to offer. Looked like there were many families enjoying the camping area and the many public grill areas. I will definitely be back in the future. Beautiful, well kept park!

The building is amazing. So bright great lighting lots of machines ! The reason for my visit was the buffet! It is the biggest I have seen next to Vegas . The menu was so large it made it hard to know where to start . We had food restrictions the staff was so pleasant and caring. They made sure my son was safe and even checked on us . The management staff was very friendly. Other casinos u have visited staff has seemed distant from customers ! My wife and are planning a trip to the valley and staying in there hotel . Such a wonderful resort !

This course layout will make you want to play again and swear that you'll never return. It's in great shape, I played a tournament at the end of August and it was a really nice test of your game. Traps were plentiful with some big fat lips on them. The greens do not break as much as you think. I wish someone had told me before hand. You can make a 7 quickly of you get in the desert. Take your medicine and get out of there.

Fountain Hills, Arizona, is a picturesque town located just east of Scottsdale, known for its stunning desert landscape, mountain views, and vibrant community. It is named after its iconic fountain one of the tallest in the world which shoots water up to 560 feet high and serves as the town’s centerpiece. Fountain Hills offers a peaceful, small-town atmosphere with art galleries, hiking trails, and golf courses, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors seeking natural beauty and a relaxed lifestyle. It’s also a great place for birders and bird photography, with many opportunities to capture unique desert birdlife.

Great stadium and clean. Plenty of parking and a great little park across the street with a pond great for also walking around. City has gotten lots of new eateries close by. We've always had great seats.

We were glad we accompanied our neighbor, a diehard Seattle Mariners fan, to a spring training game at this fun Peoria Cactus League stadium on a beautiful March day. The spacious, all-outdoor midway is a testament to the typically great weather this time of year. There’s every kind of stadium food you could possibly want, and a wide selection of beers, though I couldn’t find a non-alcoholic offering. Of course I had a hot dog with plenty of mustard, and peanuts in the shell, and a soft pretzel with mustard (I can never have too much mustard). The seats were comfy, with good elbow room, ample knee room, and a sufficient rake that the head of the guy in front of you doesn’t block your view of a critical play at a critical moment. The grassy area beyond left field is great for picnicking, and it’s probably where the dogs go on the Bark at the Park days. The green grass is almost like a continuation of the left fields grass. Bring your glove, as home runs would land here. There’s a huge TV screen behind the grassy area and a tented area with seating to its left (looking out from home plate). There’s also a pirate ship playground area for kids. Unfortunately, my friend’s Mariners lost but it was a very fun day. Highly recommended.

It was one of the best museums I've ever been to. I could easily spend a whole day there. There is music from almost every country and there is a wonderful guided tour that allows you to hear the music of the world. The museum is so well curated, so that you see, listen and learn about music from around the world. The music play room is great for kids. A wonderful time for the entire family.

What a great hike! We took our 6 year old here and he had no problem running up the trail in front of us. It was a bit steep but not a difficult hike at all. The views are wonderful and we would do it again! The trail is very well maintained as well!

My wife and I golfed the South course. It was spectacular! People were very friendly and supportive. We had a great time and would love to go back for another 18.

This place brought out my childhood and adult fascination with history. I particularly LOVED the absolutely WILD and insane back story about the saloon back bar! You just have to go see it and read the story in person!! The "Northern Cabin" was my second favourite attraction and I think I would have been captivated by the old time, small town Opera House if it hadn't been under restoration. Guess I'll have to return one day to see! Also the ticket booth personal were so informative and enthusiastic!

At the Anthem Outlet stores, the bathrooms are way nicer than you expect, clean and well-stocked. The food court was very clean also. There is a discount coupon booklet at the customer service station in the food court for deals on food and the stores.

Awesome place to visit. Lots of things to see. Plan on spending at least half a day to take in all the sights & trails.

This Monument was a beautiful step back in time. The scattered locations of these monuments made a day of easy hiking a joy. In one day you can walk among 7 different communities that are all around the area with beautiful views of the San Francisco peaks, the north and east rim of the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert. Spectacular way to enjoy a day of hiking

We drove 3 hours round trip out of our way to have lunch here. This is a must stop! More authentic, American Indian made items than you can imagine. If you're looking for something really special, there's a separate store with antique pieces. The restaurant is busy but has the service worked out so there's not too much waiting. The atmosphere is old, elegant and there is a great view of red rocks. I highly recommend anything with the Indian fry bread - stew, burger, taco or French dip.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the captivating Little Colorado River in Arizona, and it truly left me in awe of nature's wonders. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Grand Canyon region, this hidden gem offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling crowds. The moment I laid eyes on the Little Colorado River, I was captivated by its pristine beauty. The river, adorned with vibrant turquoise waters, gracefully meanders through the dramatic canyons, creating a breathtaking sight that feels like a surreal painting come to life. The contrasting hues of the reddish-brown rocks against the crystal-clear waters create a mesmerizing visual feast for visitors. What makes the Little Colorado River truly unique is the serene and untouched ambiance it exudes. Unlike the larger Colorado River, which attracts hordes of tourists, the Little Colorado River provides a more intimate and secluded experience. The absence of large crowds allowed me to immerse myself in the tranquility of nature, appreciating the sounds of the flowing water and the gentle breeze rustling through the surrounding vegetation. Exploring the river offers various recreational activities for nature enthusiasts. For those seeking adventure, the river provides excellent opportunities for kayaking and rafting, allowing visitors to witness its natural splendor up close. The calm stretches of water interspersed with mild rapids create an exhilarating yet accessible experience for both beginners and seasoned adventurers. If you prefer a more relaxed encounter, there are ample spots along the riverbanks where you can find solace and admire the mesmerizing scenery. Sitting on the river's edge, with toes dipped in the cool water, I felt a sense of serenity and harmony with the surroundings. It's an ideal place for photography enthusiasts, as every angle offers postcard-worthy views that will leave you spellbound. While visiting the Little Colorado River, I highly recommend venturing to nearby viewpoints such as the famous Horseshoe Bend or the awe-inspiring Antelope Canyon. These natural wonders complement the experience and showcase the raw beauty of the region. It's worth noting that the Little Colorado River is a sacred place for Native American tribes, and it's important to treat it with respect and reverence. Respecting the environment and adhering to responsible tourism practices ensures the preservation of this extraordinary destination for future generations to enjoy. In conclusion, my visit to the Little Colorado River in Arizona was an unforgettable experience. The untouched beauty, tranquil ambiance, and a sense of connection with nature make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Whether you're seeking thrilling outdoor activities or simply yearning for a peaceful retreat, the Little Colorado River will undoubtedly leave you with lifelong memories of its mesmerizing allure.

An AZ secret...absolutely stunning canyon with hoodoos in the middle of nowhere! Dirt roads to the site can be a bit rutted and bumpy, but an AWD car, SUV, or truck will have no problems. Be advised that there is next to nothing civilization-wise in the area and very few people, so be prepared prior to visiting. There are zero provisions, other than spectacular views and excellent hiking. Definitely worth the drive if you're in the eastern area of the Grand Canyon or Tuba City.

This hidden gem in the desert is like stepping back into the Jurassic era. The dinosaur tracks are real fossilized footprints preserved right in the rock—you’re literally standing where dinosaurs once walked! Local Navajo guides are usually on-site and enthusiastically point out different types of tracks, explaining which ones might belong to T-Rex or Triceratops. It’s not a polished tourist site, but that raw, open-air setting adds to the authenticity of the experience. A must-visit for anyone interested in dinosaurs, geology, or off-the-beaten-path adventures.
