By , About.com Guide

There are many families with young children in the Phoenix area. When it isn't the summer, a park or a zoo might be a great spot to take the kids. In the summer, they usually seek out either water or air conditioning for amusements and entertainment. Which are your favorite destinations and activities for young children, when it's hot and when it's not? Share Your Favorite

Xtreme Play IS Xtreme Fun!!!

I have taken my children to Xtreme Play many times since they opened and it has always been a great experience. The facility is large and open and very well kept. Prices are reasonable and there is no time limit. We have also had birthday parties at Xtreme and it was stress-free. Xtreme also does team parties and school fundraisers. If you call, they will customize a package for your group. I have nothing but good things to say about Xtreme. They are located at 1455 S Stapley Suite 12, Mesa (US 60 & Stapley Dr). www.xtremeplayaz.com or call 480-305-5886.

Children's Museum

Phoenix Children's Museum is so fun with younger kids aged 1 to 5. My daughter and I can spend all day there.

Children's Museum and more

We are members of the Children's Museum and LOVE it. Other favorites are the fountains at Desert Ridge and Barnes & Noble (with two young boys, their Thomas the Train table keeps them entertained for a while).

The Phoenix Zoo

I was in Phoenix a while back and I love the Phoenix Zoo. It's a terrific place to take kids. From lemurs to giraffes, elephants to sting rays, there's so much for kids (and adults!) to enjoy.
