Yes. Events come first: seasonal and one-time family events (right now that includes Halloween events, pumpkin patches and Día de los Muertos celebrations) happening this weekend or in the next two weeks near your zip code. Each local event is checked on the organizer's official page, with the date we last checked. Past events disappear automatically.
Enter an Arizona zip code and a radius, or an Arizona city like "Scottsdale, AZ" to see only listings in that city (tick "Include nearby" to add 10 miles). Places come from our hand-checked venue list plus OpenStreetMap (through Geoapify): parks, playgrounds, museums, zoos, libraries, pools and more.
Every result shows a rough price level (Free, $, $$, $$$). Popular venues show verified adult and child prices copied from the venue's official website, with the date we last checked and a link to the source. Always confirm before you go.
Nothing for you to do: we check this weekend's National Weather Service forecast. If a weekend day's high is 95°F or more, we show more indoor and water picks; at 45°F or less, more indoor, warm places; at a 50% or higher chance of rain, more indoor and covered places. A note above the results says which day and why.
The weekend search covers Phoenix Metro & Arizona for now, from Scottsdale, Phoenix and the rest of the Valley to Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Tucson and Yuma. Outside Arizona, we also publish hand-checked family guides for cities in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. More areas are coming soon.
