Top 10 Things to do in Desert Ridge, Arizona (AZ)

November 30, 2021 Leida Jutras

Nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the top golf destinations in the world. But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area also offers visitors an array of impressive cultural attractions. Visit the internationally renowned Heard Museum for an in-depth look at Native American history or peruse the fine collection at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Enjoy a ballet performance at the ornate Orpheum Theater or or catch a concert at the state-of-the-art Comerica Theatre. In addition to golf, the city offers access to numerous outdoor endeavors including rock climbing, hot-air ballooning, desert jeep tours and more. Family-friendly attractions, first-rate shopping, dining and entertainment, and spectacular recreational activities make Phoenix a must-visit destination.

My husband and I saw Scott's show for our anniversary. It was amazing. He had many different types of mind reading and magic and it was very interactive for the audience. I have no idea how he does it, but he was amazing. I would definitely recommend his show to anyone who wants to go do something different than dinner and a movie. Prepare to have your mind blown.

We originally planned on going to Zupa’s for dine in. They only offered take out so we visited The Yard House. All servers wore masks and gloves. We sat in a booth and had plenty of space. As more patrons walked in, each group were seated with plenty of distance between each other. Staff were nice and efficient. We both ordered salads and those came quickly. The ingredients in both salads were fresh and good. Water was offered and I noticed there was lots of cleaning anytime anyone left. They let us sit and chat for an hour. Never did we feel rushed. After lunch we wandered over to DSW shoes. Follow the marked arrows down each row. You are always separated from other customers. Plenty of parking in this large mall. Shops for ever interest.
