Our guide to Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale, Arizona has made a name for itself not only for being a hot spot for outdoor enthusiasts, but also for those looking for food, fun, and endless shopping.
  • Why go: Scottsdale and its surrounding cities like Phoenix and Tempe have something for everyone, even the kids. From golf courses and high-end shopping and spas to the Arizona Boardwalk, it’s simply impossible to run out of things to do.
  • Food: Pizza from Oregano’s and don’t you dare skip out on their piz-ookie for dessert.
  • Drink: Stay caffeinated with a cappuccino from Cartel Roasting Co. and head over to Diego Pops when you’re ready for a margarita or two.
  • Plan ahead: If you’re not quite ready to book the trip, maybe wait until 2024 when Mattel’s Adventure Park is set to open. Hop in, Ken.
  • Vrbo: This Boho Arcadia Gem is a short walk to my favorite breakfast (order the Commuter with turkey, add cheese + avocado) and this must-try dinner spot. (~$125/night)*
 
Bonus message from our partner: If you’re looking to book this trip, Going offers all the affordable flight hacks from your home airport. Sign up here.*
