15 Things to Do in Phoenix for Spring Break with Teens

Spring Break. This week varies anytime between March and April. For some schools, it’s even 2 weeks long.

Whether you live in Phoenix or coming to visit, we have some great ideas for you. Spring is the perfect time to visit Arizona. If the snow is still lingering where you live, spend some time soaking up the sun.

Watch a Spring Training Game. One of the best things about Spring in Phoenix is Spring Training. Home to the Cactus League, Arizona hosts a majority of MLB baseball teams all over the valley.
Enjoy our luxurious AZ resorts
Hole in the Rock
Go for a Hike. Arizona has so many gorgeous hiking trails for every level. Spend some time with nature, enjoy the fresh air and the gorgeous cactus blooms.
Desert Botanical Gardens. The Arizona desert landscape is so unique. The cactus. The succulents. We love to stroll the paths of the DBG.
Phoenix Zoo
Kayak our lakes and rivers. Some of the best places to kayak include Tempe Town Lake (a bit more urban experience), Lake Pleasant or the Salt River
Go to the Water Park. Arizona has lots of water parks to help keep us cool during our hot winters. The parks start to open on weekends during Spring Break. Our favorites are Wet ‘n’ Wild and Golfland Sunsplash. Read more about our trip to Wet n Wild last year – excited for this season!
Step back in time for a day at the Arizona Renaissance Festival.
Take a day trip. Grand Canyon, Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tucson
Explore Downtown Scottsdale. The western shops. The canal public art. Finish the day with ice cream at the Sugar Bowl.
