Spring is here, and understandably, we’re all eager to spend time outdoors – but that also means that summer is right around the corner, and Scottsdale’s heat is enough to wilt even the hardiest among us. With that said, check out this list of our five favorite things to do in North Scottsdale when it’s too hot to play outside.
Things to Do with Kids in North Scottsdale When it’s Too Hot to Play Outside
Entertaining little ones indoors doesn’t have to be tough when you have these five great places on your must-visit list:
- Glow Putt Mini Golf
- Butterfly Wonderland
- Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs
- OdySea Aquarium
- Laser + Mirror Maze
Glow Putt Mini Golf
When it’s too hot to play outside, take the family for a round of indoor mini golf at Glow Putt. This course is a glow–in–the–dark, 18-hole course with a jungle-safari theme featuring special UV lighting that makes the whole space glow. It’s fun for all ages, and the building’s layout is designed to challenge people of all skill levels. You even have the chance to win a special prize at the last hole – but we’ll let you figure that part out for yourself.
Butterfly Wonderland
Take a trip into the rainforest without leaving Scottsdale! At Butterfly Wonderland, you and your favorite kiddos will learn about butterflies and other rainforest animals, take a stroll through the conservatory, view the beautiful butterflies, watch Koi splash around in their natural habitat, and get up–close and personal with a handful of unique reptiles.
Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs
Do you have a future paleontologist in the family? Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs has several dinosaur exhibits for a fun and immersive way to learn. The indoor exhibit at OdySea features interactive attractions, a new arcade and a gift shop. When you’re done learning about Carnotaurus and Parasaurolophus, you can grab a dinosaur–themed lunch at the Pangaea Grill.
OdySea Aquarium
OdySea Aquarium is the perfect place to combine education and fun. With over 70 exhibits, this state-of-the-art aquarium lets you and your little ones discover the secrets of the deep ocean and coral reefs. You’ll also learn about penguins, otters and other sea creatures, as well as river life and a variety of aquatic species. Plus, you can get hands–on learning with carefully curated touch pools. There are over 300 species living in OdySea Aquarium, which is home to over 6,000 animals.
Laser + Mirror Maze
Looking for a challenge? The Laser + Mirror Maze at OdySea is a great way to have fun and beat the heat. Test your ninja skills in the laser maze or go on an adventure through the perilous jungle with the mirror maze.
