Top Attractions for…
Whether you’re a nature junkie, culture vulture, or serial party animal, Phoenix has you covered. Just don’t expect to catch everything in a whirlwind weekend. Take your time soaking up the highlights based on what vibes most with your travel tribe. Art lovers and hipsters alike will dig the funky murals and local craftsman goods on display throughout the Roosevelt Row Arts District. Outdoorsy types should pack their hiking boots to conquer trails at Papago Park or climb the desert mountains in the city’s outskirts. Families can go wild at the Phoenix Zoo or embrace their inner science nerd at the Arizona Science Center.
Party Crowd
When the sun sets, Phoenix’s party scene is just getting started. Scottsdale is the hotspot for high energy clubs, sleek lounges, and rooftop bars that attract a lively crew of dressed-to-impress twenty-somethings and bachelorette parties alike. Catch a Vegas-worthy drag show at Finny’s inside the W Hotel before dancing the night away under the desert sky at Riot House, Hi Fi Kitchen & Cocktails, or Maya Day & Nightclub. If rowdy Old Town vibes are more your speed, Scottsdale’s older sibling has got you. Soak up the laidback college atmosphere at Zipps Brewhouse or elevate your night with eclectic eats and craft cocktails at Bitter & Twisted. Don your go-to party threads because the sprawling patios and dueling piano bars of Old Town guarantee a wild evening.
Families & Kids
Traveling with little ones in tow? No need to tame the excitement when Phoenix packs in plenty of family-friendly fun under the sun. Get that energy out at the Arizona Science Center where kids can experiment and play for hours in the hands-on exhibit galleries. From the stellar Dorrance Planetarium shows to the larger-than-life IMAX theater, you’ll be wowed. The real showstopper for animal lovers though is the Phoenix Zoo, featuring a 2.5 mile walking trail to gaze upon residents like the famous Bornean orangutans, Sumatran tigers and precious pigmy hippo bunch. During the summer, keep cool at Big Surf Waterpark or chase a thrill on the classic roller coasters and rides at Castles N’ Coasters. Just make sure you stock up on water and sunscreen—the Southwest sunshine demands it!
Foodies & Drink Enthusiasts
With inventive chefs from all walks of life representing nearly every global cuisine, Phoenix has blossomed into a true foodie’s paradise in the desert. Indulge in award-winning Southwestern comfort fare at Barrio Cafe, sink your teeth into Chinese dumplings at Welcome Chicken + Donuts, or tame your hangry with Sugar Bowl’s kitschy take on diner classics. Craft cocktail aficionados won’t be disappointed either. Valley Bar has it all—cozy vibe, rotating craft brews, and bartenders who pour magic into each drink. Beer geeks can sample their way through the local favorites on tap at spots like The Theodore, O.H.S.O. Brewery, and Arizona Wilderness Brewery. Orchards and vineyards in nearby towns supply a bevy of wines for tastings galore at Merkin Vineyards and Su Vino Winery in historic downtown Scottsdale. Cheers!
History & Culture Buffs
Ancient native roots run deep through Phoenix’s captivating cultural scene. Dig into Southwestern heritage at the Heard Museum, one of the nation’s best institutions dedicated to showcasing Native American artwork and historical pieces. The museum hosts annual events like the World Championship Hoop Dance Contest & Exhibition to further celebrate indigenous culture. Just down the road, the Musical Instrument Museum tops bucket lists with its dazzling global collection of instruments, costumes, and multimedia shows. You’ll wander wide-eyed through detailed replicas of international villages as melodies fill the air. Later on, wander the Pueblo Grande Museum National Historic Landmark and ruins to learn about the ingenious Hohokam civilization that dates back over a thousand years in the Phoenix Valley.
Outdoor Adventurers
Don’t just admire Phoenix’s rugged desert scenery from car windows—get up close and personal on an outdoor adventure! Hiking trails snake through landscapes like Camelback Mountain, South Mountain Park, and McDowell Sonoran Preserve, showcasing those iconic towering Saguaro cacti and vibrant sunsets that never disappoint. Cool down on the shaded paths of Papago Park, where you can also tee off at the 18-hole Papago Golf Course. On the saltier side, drive out to the pristine shores of Lake Pleasant for kayaking, fishing, or just claiming a sandy beach spot for the day. Adrenaline junkies can soar over the terrain while skydiving, rock climbing, hot air ballooning, or taking a thrilling off-road Tomcar tour across the desert floor. Just be sure to bring—and drink—plenty of water!
Sports Nuts
Phoenix swings for the fences when it comes to major sporting events! Baseball fans can catch the Arizona Diamondbacks throughout the spring and summer at their iconic home field, Chase Field, complete with classic ballpark treats and a swimming pool in the outfield. Football crowds huddle up to cheer on the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium, but it’s the stadium’s hosting of the annual Fiesta Bowl that brings the real gridiron glory. Looking to embrace the greatest show on grass? The Valley definitely knows a thing or two about hosting golf’s elite players during the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Every Cinderella team aspires to shoot hoops at the March Madness of college basketball. Games are played at various Phoenix venues as part of this single-elimination tournament held each spring. However, you don’t need to be a college baller to book tee times along Phoenix’s award-winning fairways.
How to Get Around Phoenix
Phoenix covers a massive metropolitan area, so getting around takes some planning—especially if your group wants to hit all the top spots scattered throughout the Valley. Don’t depend on driving separate cars or dealing with confusing public transit routes. Streamline your Phoenix travels by reserving private group transportation with Party Bus Phoenix! Our team specializes in providing comfortable rides around the region through a variety of charter bus, minibus, and sleek party bus rentals. With buses ranging from 18 to 56 passengers, Party Bus Phoenix has the perfect coach to shuttle groups of all sizes between hotels, top attractions, restaurants, shows, conventions, sporting events, and even weddings. Just sit back, crank up the tunes, and enjoy the ride!
Public Transportation
Phoenix unfortunately lacks an efficient metro rail system connecting key points throughout the vast metro area. The Valley Metro bus system attempts to fill that gap, though routes are often shared with traffic and can be impacted by delays. Local bus service is provided, but transferring or accessing the furthest suburbs gets complicated and time-consuming for non-locals. For convenience and simplicity, we absolutely recommend reserving private bus transportation over navigating the public transit system, especially if your itinerary includes attractions across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Mesa and beyond. Who wants to spend a bachelorette party weekend crammed on public buses and light rail anyway? Pass on the logistical hassle and leave the navigating to our professional team!
Taxis and Rideshares
While attempting to shuttle a larger group around busy downtown Phoenix, taxis and rideshares become impractical at best. Team demand can’t keep up during peak times, meaning exorbitant surge pricing and endless wait times to get your whole crew transported. Plus, popular spots like Mill Avenue or Old Town end up such a mess of bar crawlers and partiers that your team likely won’t even be able to access the prime pickup zones. And let’s be real—you don’t want your rowdy bridal party piling into random rideshare vehicles after one too many craft cocktails either! Our fleet boasts stylish rides from top-tier transportation companies with responsible, professional team behind the wheel. Spare yourself the hassle and expense of splitting up across multiple vehicles!
Charter Buses
