6 days in Phoenix & Central Arizona Itinerary

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona. Step off the beaten path and head to Children’s Museum of Phoenix and Superstition Mountain Museum. Visit Mesa Temple & Visitors' Center and Casa Grande Ruins National Monument for their historical value. Venture out of the city with trips to Lost Dutchman State Park (in Apache Junction), Watson's Hat Shop (in Cave Creek) and Troon North Golf Club (in Scottsdale). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Musical Instrument Museum, sample the fine beverages at Arizona Distilling Co, play a few rounds at Gold Canyon Resort - Dinosaur Mountain Golf Course, and squeeze the most out of the city with Arizona Scenic Tours - Day Tours.
