Wouldn’t recommend the lakes a lot of people have went missing or died there throughout the years you say don’t life your life in fear but even cops will tell u it’s not a good idea I’ve lived here my whole life been to the lakes but there’s always issues gunshots people reported missing stuff like that jus a warning look it up before going to make sure ur not going to a dangerous area of the lake cuz blind spots at the lakes are real bad
Musical instrument museum is a must. A co-worker recommended it to me. Fantastic. All kinds of interactive displays of different genre and music around the whole world 👍
Wildlife world zoo is amazing place best zoo in PHX IMHO. You forgot 9:58 mark they have Westgate/Top Golf in Glendale, AZ as well. Arizona is a must visit state.
As a 35 year metro-Phoenix area resident, this was a very nice video. One notable attraction that was missed, was the Desert Botanical Gardens, which is recognized as a world-class desert flora preserve and gardens.
Before my grandfather passed, I loved bringing him there. He seemed so happy as I pushed him around the park in his wheelchair, and I was just happy to be with him.
I'm planning on going to Arizona by next year and see stuff and do fun things there I'd rather live in Phoenix Arizona than live in California I love my state but it's time for me to move to another state like Arizona for example
I always watch you island hopper videos❤ will be going to Phoenix in September and I was shocked to see this channel obviously I’m watching them all before my trip! I need the best sushi place since we are celebrating his 14th birthday any special recommendations for that?
Confession: I'm one of those people who claim I don't know what to do here for fun after living here about 5 years. I'm old. I don't hike. I've been to most of the places on this video and many more museums. I enjoyed them. But now what? I used to enjoy food and ethnic festivals in northern CA, mostly around Sacramento. I never know when and where they are here except sometimes on the news, I'll see people enjoying themselves at one that just finished. Why didn't they tell me ahead of time so I could have gone? How do people find out about these festivals and other special evetns in advance?
Guess you need to know people with whom you share interests and values. You know, like in a culture. But because most people in Phoenix aren’t from Phoenix, they share little but a distaste for cold weather and high property taxes in their home cities. Thus, no culture. Yes, you’ve stumbled upon the true reason behind the complaints about “no culture in Phoenix.” Two million or so residents who share nothing but a reliance on air conditioning.
@@BillLaBrie I can appreciate people from different backgrounds than myself and my friends don't have to share my beliefs. My best friend of 40 years has different political and religious views than my own and belongs to a difference race. We respect our differences. Like I stated, I like festivals but don't usually know where and when they are in advance here. I did go to an olive festival nearby once. It was only 2 or 3 food trucks and high pressure was put on the visitor to buy wine. I'm used to food festivals that celebrates the produce. Like the annual Asparagus Festival has many trucks where you can enjoy asparagus prepared in a variety of ways. Plus they have live entertainment. Or the Cajun Festival where I ate fried alligator and drank beer while watching Cajun people dance. My favorite part of that was when they took a break and a Cajun teenage boy danced all over the stage, not to preform, but just enjoying himself. Or the Italian Festival that played such relaxing music that, much to my embarrassment, my friend and I fell asleep (with the help of Italian wine) under a shade tree. I miss that type of activities.
@@sandramarcantelli4958 Yes, those are cultural activities. The culture in Phoenix revolves around making money flipping houses, panicking when the a/c stops working, and staring at screens while drinking, as far as I can tell (my 40 Years in Phoenix badge is around here somewhere). There is no other cohesive culture. People in Phoenix don’t talk to each other. They’re afraid they’re going to get scammed. I always knew there was something sick and wrong about Phx and after decades of trying, finally escaped.
@@sandramarcantelli4958 I tried to leave twice before I succeeded. PHX kept pulling me back. Finally, I escaped to a small city in the Northwest. There’s far less “going on” here than in PHX, but what what’s going on seems to matter more. Everyone knows about the Saturday market and most have been there at least once. Seems most families have gone to city-sponsored movies in the park. We have informal social networks based on gardening and pets. Its the culture around here. Its not for everyone, but it is a culture. Feels like home.
I have lived here since the mid 1980's and I have done everything and it isn't that great. Overall the place is hot, congested, boring and now I look forward to moving to someplace else. Never learned Spanish so half the people I can't relate to!!!
I totally agree if you don’t speak Spanish your way behind the curve. I went to a high school graduation last week and rn though I was in a defferent country Mexico 🤔 Our boarders have been over ran with illegals and it’s going to get much worst . Thanks to Joe and Harris .. what a joke . It’s became a very dangerous place to live .
The "rock and roll hall of fame" should have been called "music people from the 60's". 🙄 Pretty boring and DON'T TAKE ANY PICTURES OR WE WILL SMASH YOUR CAMERA AND KICK YOU OUT! I didn't take any pictures and didn't get kicked out but completely not worth the time or effort. Now, Graceland was cool! 👍
Good video. But the funnest thing I ever did in Phoenix was to leave.
It's hotter than the back of the sun there...
😂
I left phoenix 20 yard ago don’t miss it … too dam hot and boring
Thanks so much for all the info. I just started dating, and destination or activity dates are the most fun way to get to know someone.
We really enjoy your channel. My family and I are new residents to Arizona. Can't wait to visit the places you mentioned here.
Wouldn’t recommend the lakes a lot of people have went missing or died there throughout the years you say don’t life your life in fear but even cops will tell u it’s not a good idea I’ve lived here my whole life been to the lakes but there’s always issues gunshots people reported missing stuff like that jus a warning look it up before going to make sure ur not going to a dangerous area of the lake cuz blind spots at the lakes are real bad
I'd love to visit Phoenix someday.
Super excited to visit one of these days can’t wait to go travel here 😊❤
Love all your videos!
Musical instrument museum is a must. A co-worker recommended it to me. Fantastic. All kinds of interactive displays of different genre and music around the whole world 👍
Phoenix Mercury...
Great episode!
Thank you Jeff, hope to get to some of these places someday😊
The more I see of Arizona I’m glad I left back in 1979😂
Wildlife world zoo is amazing place best zoo in PHX IMHO. You forgot 9:58 mark they have Westgate/Top Golf in Glendale, AZ as well. Arizona is a must visit state.
It's impossible to get to if you don't drive. Phoenix needs better transit.
@@danieldaniels7571 They have light rail, Lyft, Uber, buses....you can get there!

Great video team AZ!🤩

I'm planning on going to Arizona by next year and see stuff and do fun things there I'd rather live in Phoenix Arizona than live in California I love my state but it's time for me to move to another state like Arizona for example
Hit me up when you do..... Babydoll...🌹🤠
@@johnwayne666 trust me I will
I don't like that more people are moving to Phoenix I feel more crowded and price are going up but that's my opinion
boring state
Did you end up moving ?
I always watch you island hopper videos❤ will be going to Phoenix in September and I was shocked to see this channel obviously I’m watching them all before my trip! I need the best sushi place since we are celebrating his 14th birthday any special recommendations for that?
Harumi Sushi and Sake May be a good one if nearby where you are staying 🎂
@@LivinginArizona thank you! Will definitely check them out 🤩
Thank you I’m moving next week
Thank you
I got to visit a couple of weeks ago.
Nice city
Thanks Jeff! You posted this video right on time. I'll be there in a couple more weeks and will definitely check out the music museum.

I plan on coming back to Phoenix sometime in mid September to early October, what are things for single people to do
Visit gay bars
@@drsimi9193 No thanks
Top Golf! Multiple locations and fun with a group.
@@drsimi9193 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@BillLaBrie So did you escape to a smaller and more friendly town in Arizona or did you leave the state? And are you happy where you live now?

Number one on my list is turn around and go anywhere else.
Why?
Good info! I need to get out more. Thx!
Great info but Are are are there are not there is

ONE THING NOT TO DO IN ARIZONA...TRUST ANYONE! 😑
🙊JUST MY OPINION! 🤜💥🤠🌵
The "rock and roll hall of fame" should have been called "music people from the 60's". 🙄
Pretty boring and DON'T TAKE ANY PICTURES OR WE WILL SMASH YOUR CAMERA AND KICK YOU OUT!
I didn't take any pictures and didn't get kicked out but completely not worth the time or effort.
Now, Graceland was cool! 👍
this list sucked
