Explore the Western-style streets around the Historic Old Town district, browse contemporary galleries in the Arts District or stay into the evening for dinner and drinks.

Current tours range from audio-led visits through living and studio spaces to more detailed guided experiences. The drafting studio has also been refreshed, providing another look at the creative environment used by Wright and his apprentices.

Location / Neighborhood: Old Town Scottsdale. Best For: Families, couples, public art, relaxed walks. Estimated Time Needed: 1–2 hours. Cost / Entry: Free
Take a quieter walk through Scottsdale Civic Center, a landscaped public space connecting several of the city’s major cultural institutions. Lawns, shaded seating, fountains and public artworks make it a pleasant place to slow down between museums and Old Town sightseeing.

Outdoor & Adventure Things to Do in Scottsdale
8. Hike the McDowell Sonoran Preserve
Location / Neighborhood: North and east Scottsdale. Best For: Families, couples, hikers, nature lovers. Estimated Time Needed: 1–5 hours. Cost / Entry: Free.
Explore Scottsdale’s defining natural landscape within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, one of the largest protected urban desert preserves in the world. More than 30,500 acres and 230 miles of trails provide routes for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders through saguaro-covered foothills and rugged mountain terrain.
Trailheads such as Gateway, Lost Dog Wash and Pima Dynamite provide access to routes of varying difficulty. Insider tip: Scottsdale’s desert heat can be dangerous, so hike close to sunrise during warmer months, carry significantly more water than you think you’ll need and check current trailhead conditions before leaving your rental.
9. Hike Pinnacle Peak
Location / Neighborhood: North Scottsdale. Best For: Hikers, couples, photographers, active families. Estimated Time Needed: 2–3 hours. Cost / Entry: Free.
Follow a well-maintained desert trail around the slopes of Pinnacle Peak, one of North Scottsdale’s most recognizable landmarks. The out-and-back route covers roughly four miles and gains around 1,000 feet, with viewpoints revealing granite formations, desert vegetation and distant mountain ranges along the way.
The trail does not lead to the actual summit, which helps keep it manageable for many reasonably active visitors. Insider tip: start early and turn around if anyone in your group begins struggling with the heat — shade is limited and desert temperatures can rise rapidly.
10. Hike to Tom’s Thumb
Location / Neighborhood: McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Best For: Experienced hikers, photographers, mountain scenery. Estimated Time Needed: 3–5 hours. Cost / Entry: Free.
Take on one of Scottsdale’s more challenging hikes to Tom’s Thumb, the distinctive granite formation visible high in the McDowell Mountains. The trail climbs steeply through the Sonoran Desert before opening onto impressive views and giant rock formations around the upper sections.
The combination of elevation gain, rugged terrain and exposure makes this better suited to experienced hikers than casual walkers. Insider tip: there is no drinking water at the Tom’s Thumb Trailhead, so arrive fully supplied and avoid attempting this hike during extreme heat.
11. Climb Camelback Mountain
Location / Neighborhood: Scottsdale / Paradise Valley border. Best For: Experienced hikers, sunrise views, fitness. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: Free.
Challenge yourself on Camelback Mountain, the dramatic landmark rising between Scottsdale and Phoenix. The Echo Canyon and Cholla trails both climb steeply towards the summit, where panoramic views stretch across Scottsdale, Phoenix and the wider Valley of the Sun.
This is a strenuous desert hike rather than a casual sightseeing trail, with steep sections, rock scrambling and significant exposure to the sun. Insider tip: attempt Camelback only if your group is comfortable with demanding hikes, start early and never underestimate Arizona heat — even experienced hikers can become ill quickly.
12. Mountain bike through the Sonoran Desert
Location / Neighborhood: McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Best For: Active travelers, experienced riders, adventure. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: Free with your own bike; rentals and guides extra.
Explore the desert at a faster pace on the mountain-bike trails of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Shared-use routes range from smoother desert riding to technical rocky sections, with saguaros, granite mountains and open views surrounding you throughout the journey.
Guided rides and bike rentals are useful if you are unfamiliar with desert terrain or don’t want to travel with equipment. Insider tip: ask a local outfitter to recommend a route that genuinely matches your experience level and carry repair supplies as well as plenty of water.
13. Take a hot air balloon ride over the Sonoran Desert
Location / Neighborhood: Scottsdale / North Phoenix desert. Best For: Couples, celebrations, photographers. Estimated Time Needed: 3–4 hours including preparation. Cost / Entry: $$$.
Watch the desert unfold beneath you during a hot air balloon flight over the Sonoran Desert. Most experiences depart around sunrise, when cooler air and softer light reveal mountains, washes and enormous stretches of cactus-filled landscape.
The peaceful flight provides a dramatic contrast to hiking or off-road adventures and is particularly popular for anniversaries and special occasions. Insider tip: schedule your flight early in your vacation because ballooning is weather dependent, giving you another opportunity to fly if wind conditions force a postponement.
14. Explore the desert on horseback
Location / Neighborhood: Scottsdale and surrounding Sonoran Desert. Best For: Couples, families, groups, Western experiences. Estimated Time Needed: 1.5–3 hours. Cost / Entry: $.
Experience the Sonoran Desert in classic Southwestern style on a guided horseback trail ride. Routes around the Scottsdale area pass desert washes, cactus-covered hills and mountain scenery while guides introduce riders to the landscape at a slower pace.
Many operators welcome beginners as well as experienced riders, although minimum ages and other requirements vary. Insider tip: choose an early-morning or sunset ride for cooler temperatures and wear long pants with closed-toe shoes rather than beach or pool clothing.
15. Take a guided desert Jeep tour
Location / Neighborhood: Sonoran Desert around Scottsdale. Best For: Families, couples, groups, adventure. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: $.
Head beyond Scottsdale’s paved roads on a guided Jeep or off-road desert tour. Local guides take visitors into rugged Sonoran landscapes while explaining the area’s geology, plants, wildlife and human history, with sunset excursions offering particularly striking desert light.
It’s an accessible way for mixed-age groups to experience more remote scenery without committing to a strenuous hike. Insider tip: choose a professionally guided excursion rather than taking an unsuitable rental car onto unpaved desert routes, and bring an extra layer for cooler evening tours.
16. Kayak or paddleboard the Lower Salt River
Location / Neighborhood: Tonto National Forest / east of Scottsdale. Best For: Families with older children, couples, wildlife, water activities. Estimated Time Needed: Half day. Cost / Entry: $.
Cool off beyond the city on the Lower Salt River, where calm stretches of water pass desert cliffs, cottonwood trees and rugged mountain scenery. Guided kayaking and paddleboarding trips provide a refreshing change from Scottsdale’s hiking trails, with opportunities to spot birds and other wildlife along the river.
Wild horses are sometimes seen in the surrounding Salt River area, although sightings should never be expected or approached. Insider tip: go with an experienced outfitter if you don’t know the river, and remember that water conditions, temperatures and seasonal flows can affect which trips operate.
Family Things to Do in Scottsdale
17. Walk among butterflies at Butterfly Wonderland
Location / Neighborhood: Arizona Boardwalk. Best For: Families, younger children, wildlife, rainy or hot days. Estimated Time Needed: Around 2 hours. Cost / Entry: $$.
Step inside a tropical environment filled with butterflies at Butterfly Wonderland, one of the major attractions at Arizona Boardwalk. Visitors can watch butterflies emerge from chrysalises before entering the large conservatory, where hundreds of colorful butterflies fly freely among tropical plants.
Additional areas introduce families to reptiles, insects and other wildlife, while educational presentations run throughout the day. Insider tip: visit earlier when the conservatory can feel quieter, and combine Butterfly Wonderland with another Arizona Boardwalk attraction if you want to make a full family day of it.
18. Discover marine life at OdySea Aquarium
Location / Neighborhood: Arizona Boardwalk. Best For: Families, marine life, indoor activities. Estimated Time Needed: 2–3 hours. Cost / Entry: $.
Explore marine habitats at OdySea Aquarium, a large indoor attraction at Arizona Boardwalk. Exhibits introduce visitors to sharks, rays, fish and other aquatic species through a series of immersive habitats and viewing areas.
Its fully indoor setting makes the aquarium particularly useful during Scottsdale’s hottest summer afternoons or on the occasional rainy day. Insider tip: look at combination-ticket options if your family also wants to visit Butterfly Wonderland or another Arizona Boardwalk attraction during the same vacation.
19. Ride the trains at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park
Location / Neighborhood: Central Scottsdale. Best For: Families, younger children, train enthusiasts. Estimated Time Needed: 1–3 hours. Cost / Entry: Free park entry; rides and attractions extra.
Spend a relaxed family morning at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, a Scottsdale park celebrating railway history through miniature trains, exhibits and family attractions. Children can ride the Paradise & Pacific Railroad, enjoy the carousel and see historic locomotives and railway displays.
Large lawns and picnic areas make it easy to stay longer without turning the outing into an expensive full-day attraction. Insider tip: visit during the morning in warmer weather, as outdoor play areas become much less comfortable once midday desert temperatures rise.
20. Explore Desert Botanical Garden
Location / Neighborhood: Papago Park, Phoenix / close to Scottsdale. Best For: Families, couples, plants, photography. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: $$; advance reservations recommended.
See how much life thrives in an arid environment at the Desert Botanical Garden, just beyond Scottsdale in Papago Park. Trails wind through collections of saguaros, agaves, wildflowers and plants from desert regions around the world, with mountain scenery forming a dramatic backdrop.

Explore the distinctive red sandstone landscape of Papago Park, conveniently positioned between Scottsdale and Phoenix. Easy walking routes wind around unusual rock formations, desert plants and small lakes, offering a gentler alternative to the steeper mountain hikes elsewhere in the Valley.
One of the best-known features is Hole-in-the-Rock, a natural opening reached by a short path and popular for sunset views. Insider tip: combine Papago Park with the nearby Desert Botanical Garden rather than making two separate journeys across the same area.
22. Visit the Musical Instrument Museum
Location / Neighborhood: North Phoenix / near North Scottsdale. Best For: Families, music lovers, culture, indoor activities. Estimated Time Needed: 3–4 hours. Cost / Entry: $$.
Take a musical trip around the world at the Musical Instrument Museum, where thousands of instruments and multimedia displays introduce visitors to musical traditions from countries and cultures across the globe.
Wireless headsets automatically play music as you approach many displays, making the experience unusually immersive.

Scottsdale is one of America’s leading golf destinations, with more than 200 courses in the wider area and dramatic Sonoran Desert scenery surrounding many fairways. Well-known options include the two courses at Troon North Golf Club, TPC Scottsdale and nearby We-Ko-Pa.
Desert golf is at its most popular during the cooler winter and spring months, when demand for premium tee times can be extremely high. Insider tip: ask the Top Villas Concierge team about arranging tee times in advance, particularly if golf is one of the main reasons for your Scottsdale vacation.
24. Relax with a Scottsdale spa day
Location / Neighborhood: Across Scottsdale. Best For: Couples, wellness, relaxation, celebrations. Estimated Time Needed: 2 hours to full day. Cost / Entry: $$$.
Balance desert adventures with a spa and wellness day, an experience Scottsdale has become particularly well known for.

25. Shop at Scottsdale Fashion Square
Location / Neighborhood: Old Town / Scottsdale Waterfront. Best For: Couples, families, shopping, hot afternoons. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: Free to enter; shopping extra.
Take a break from the desert heat at Scottsdale Fashion Square, one of the region’s major shopping destinations. The large indoor mall combines luxury brands, national retailers, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach of Old Town.
Its location beside the Scottsdale Waterfront makes it simple to combine shopping with restaurants or an evening around Old Town. Insider tip: save this for the hottest part of the afternoon rather than using cooler morning hours that are better suited to hiking or outdoor attractions.

Location / Neighborhood: Old Town Scottsdale. Best For: Couples, adult groups, wine lovers. Estimated Time Needed: 2–4 hours. Cost / Entry: $$.
Discover Arizona wine without leaving the city on the Scottsdale Wine Trail, which connects tasting rooms around Old Town. Local wineries pour wines produced from grapes grown in Arizona regions including the Verde Valley, Willcox and Sonoita.
Because the tasting rooms are concentrated within a walkable area, you can sample several producers without committing to a full wine-country road trip.

28. Experience Old Town Scottsdale nightlife
Location / Neighborhood: Entertainment District / Old Town. Best For: Couples, groups, nightlife, celebrations. Estimated Time Needed: Evening. Cost / Entry: $.
Return to Old Town after dark for Scottsdale’s biggest concentration of bars, lounges, clubs and late-night restaurants. The Entertainment District offers high-energy nightlife, while nearby areas provide wine bars, cocktail lounges and more relaxed patios if dancing until late isn’t your style.
Scottsdale’s warm evenings make outdoor terraces particularly appealing outside the hottest part of summer. Insider tip: make dinner reservations first and explore on foot afterwards, using rideshare rather than driving if your group plans to drink.
Sports & Scenic Day Trips from Scottsdale

Catch Major League Baseball Spring Training in Scottsdale, when teams and fans arrive in the Valley of the Sun from mid-February through March. The San Francisco Giants play at Scottsdale Stadium, while the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies share Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.
The smaller stadiums and relaxed atmosphere make spring training especially enjoyable for families and visitors who want to see major-league players at closer range.

See another side of the Sonoran Desert at Saguaro Lake, where blue water winds between rugged mountains and cactus-covered slopes.

The lake works particularly well as a warmer-weather day trip when your group wants an outdoor activity that involves less strenuous walking. Insider tip: reserve boat or water-sports equipment ahead on busy weekends and carry sun protection — reflections from the water can make the Arizona sun feel particularly intense.

Scottsdale Stadium and Salt River Fields host games throughout the season, while restaurants and Old Town fill with visiting fans.

Thousands of works spanning contemporary, modern, Indigenous, Western and other artistic traditions are displayed alongside talks and cultural programming.
