#Museums, #Parks, #Nature
Things to do in Phoenix range from hot air balloon rides over the desert to practicing your swing at one of the area's many golf courses. Recognized as a "Phoenix Point of Pride," Heard Museum is a good place to explore the history of the city. Housing over 15,000 musical instruments--including those played by music icons like John Lennon and Elvis Presley--Musical Instrument Museum is a must for music lovers. When traveling with kids, include strolling around Desert Botanical Garden or trekking the themed trails at Phoenix Zoo in your itinerary.
