Christmas in Phoenix suggestions

Phillip marvetz · 12-21-2016, 04:36 PM

Hello everyone,
We're doing Christmas in Phoenix this year and could use some advice on touristy things to do and the ones to avoid. Thanks.

There's a bunch of Hooters and a couple of Tilted Kilts around town

We really enjoyed the Wrigley Mansion, tour and lunch. I would go back. They have a "cactus" walk thru desert/garden that was OK, I think they have Holiday Light show and night time tour.

2 hours to Flagstaff to snow ski, Rawhide western town casino hotel across from dragstrip in Chandler. Sedona 90 minutes north is a beautiful tourist town. Goldfield mining town from the 1800's. A cool 25 mile twist and turn drive to Tortilla Flats. Repaving might be down now, if not dont go its 2 lane and a mess. Golf,golf,golf

The western town sounds good. I don't suppose there is any racing going on anywhere? Might be fun to beat up the rental car.

Rustlers Rooste was a good place for steaks and a view. Different of Point of View at the Pointe Tapatio is another good place. Sedona has Pink Jeep tours and Hoover Dam is also worth visiting. You will have a great time.

Flagstaff and Sedona for chill out stuff. Avoid the Phoenix area and Sun Lakes in particular. My brother lives there...

Pima Air Museum, Rock Springs Cafe, and golf...

You can race anytime..............Go to Sedona and up the canyon to Flag, you will not regret it.
