It’s officially summer and Phoenix is well known for its scorching summers, so it’s understandable that you might be looking for fun indoor activities to beat the heat! Here are some fun indoor things to do in Phoenix-Metro during the extreme summer weather:
Visit museums: Arizona is home to several fascinating museums. Explore the Musical Instrument Museum in North Phoenix, the OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale, or the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa.
Indoor rock climbing: Try out indoor rock climbing at one of Arizona’s climbing gyms. They offer a controlled environment where you can challenge yourself and stay active while avoiding the outdoor heat. My family’s favorite is AZ on the Rocks in North Scottsdale.
Escape rooms: Engage in a thrilling adventure by attempting an escape room challenge. These interactive puzzles and mystery-solving games are a great way to spend time indoors with friends or family. United Escapes of America in Tempe has 5 rooms of varying difficulty and a bonus – the location is within walking distance to many great Tempe restaurants!
Bowling: Enjoy a classic indoor activity by heading to a bowling alley. Many places have cosmic bowling with music and blacklights to add to the fun. Bowlero in North Scottsdale is a great one to try out.
Indoor trampoline parks: Jump, bounce, and flip at indoor trampoline parks. These parks typically offer various trampolines, foam pits, dodgeball, and other fun activities.
Gaming arcades: Challenge your friends to a friendly competition at a gaming arcade. Play a variety of arcade games, air hockey, racing games, and more. Dave & Busters has all the hot games with locations in Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, and Queen Creek.
Remember, even when you’re playing indoors, it’s important to stay hydrated in Arizona’s summer heat!
