Have Fun with the Fam

Families keen on making memories together will find the ultimate playgrounds in Arizona.

Besides the state's 34 state parks and 22 national parks and monuments, bucket list outdoor destinations such as the Grand Canyon and Kartchner Caverns inspire young explorers. But, outdoor adventure is just the beginning of family fun in Arizona. Urban areas with cultural attractions and top-notch museums keep everyone in the crew engaged. Historic outposts with small towns invite families to unplug and enjoy some quality chill time. And the best part? All four seasons are equally as satisfying in Arizona.
