Holidays in Phoenix - need Info's

[CivicSi907]

Hi everybody!

Some of you know, that I am a german citizen and live near munich (bayern).

Last year, I was at holidays in NY and CT at my uncles house.

This year my gf and me want to visit phx and stay at her aunts home.

Can anyone give us some words of advice what to do in arizone or in neighborhood.

Are there some swimming pools we can go into?
Some shopping malls and outlet center?
Some attractions like the grand canyon and the antelope canyon?

Some more good and visitable stuff?

thx for help and best wishes!

Bondurant Racing School. Also try this pizza joint called Barro's. Other than that lots of pretty views and hikes if you're an outdoor person. Grand Canyon is pretty far from Phoenix, so it would be a 2 day trip.

f**k, I didnt know that, but I really want to visit it even if its a 2 day trip.

What about swimming pools and shopping outlets?

[CanyonDriver]

swimming pools I'm not too sure of, but there are tons of outlet malls. not sure of specific locations, but i'm sure some members who live in AZ will jump in and fill you in.

Ill hope so too!

Please dont eat Barros its the worst pizza in the valley. If you like real pizza try a place called Spinatos you will not regret it.

Chandler Fashion Center would be the one I would go for a shopping mall

chandler fashion square? scottsdale maybe, yea barros is gross. I dont know where your staying but there is a place off of 40th street and thomas called la raonge (spelling) that is amzing. and you could probably make the south rim of the grand canyon a day trip...

[CanyonDriver]

lol i dont know what you guys are talking about Barros sucking. not the greatest but better than most b/s pizza chains.

[mugen_kid]

You know its funny I use to love Barros, to me it seems like there pizza has gone down hill. I will eat little cesars before Barros any day that ends with Y

for this

[bulletSisedan]

wouldn't really recommend public pools but if your aunt lives in a apartment complex then there is one there usually. but public pools imo equals YUK! shopping malls are all over the best ones for tourist are in this order AZ mills, Scottsdale fashion square, Chandler fashion center, ?Metro mall? but it really depends on where you stay at.
Also the grand canyon is a great trip you would want to make it a 2 day thing at least and there are alot of spots on the way there to also check out. I love AZ cause there is always something to see new even if you seen it before lol.

Can somebody please check, what it would cost to rent a car in Phoenix from 15.Mai - 31.Mai for 2 Adults, but only me is driving.
It should be a Midsize SUV, something like Toyota RAV4 or Chevrolet Equinox.
If I book it here in germany it would cost about $600 for this 2 Weeks.

Thanks for help!
