What are some neat/fun things to do around the phoenix and mesa area? .?

My 6 month old son and I will be visiting the area to see my brother. So obviously it will have to be baby friendly. We have already been to the zoo and botanical garden out there.. so we wondered what else might be fun to do!?

You could try the Mesa Museum for Youth, it is an interactive children's museum with a special area just for kids 4 %26amp; under, located in downtown Mesa. The World Wildlife Zoo is a lot of fun but in far West Phoenix. Depending what time of the year you are in town, maybe a trip out to Schnepf's Farm in Queen Creek. Is he crawling yet? If so, he might enjoy Toy Town miniature village in Tempe. You might enjoy the AZ Science Center in downtown Phoenix, more for adults and older kids but it is designed as a hands on place for kids so no one is going to complain if the baby makes noise. If your brother has older kids, you could do Makatu's Island in Ahwatukee. The older kids will be on their own with fully controlled access for saftey, then there is a smaller area just for the little ones with mini-slides and soft blocks. Jeepers in Mesa also has an area good for the little ones to play while the older ones go on the larger rides. I would recommend having your brother pick up a copy of the free monthly magazine Arizona Parenting from a local library for other seasonal or daily events.
Reply:Try the World Wildlife Zoo and around Reems and Northern you can feed the giraffes





Also, we love the McCormick Train Park on Scottsdale Rd.





Depending when you're visiting, try taking the little one to the fountains at Desert Ridge (Tatum and Loop 101) to play in.
