Explore Phoenix's surroundings by going to Desert Caballeros Western Museum (in Wickenburg), Mesa (Mesa Market Place Swap Meet & Usery Mountain Regional Park) and Troon North Golf Club (in Scottsdale). There's still lots to do: have fun and explore at Children’s Museum of Phoenix, stop by Cerreta Candy Co., see the interesting displays at Superstition Mountain Museum, and browse the different shops at Arizona Mills.
