Since Arizona is the number one mining state in the country, it’s no surprise that Phoenix is home to the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum. This museum, which costs only $2 for adults and is free for children, features exhibits commemorating mining in the state and a large mineral display.

Next to one of Mesa's award winning golf courses, Riverview Park and golf course offers almost anything a person or family could ask for. The park’s facilities include lit playing fields, hiking and jogging trails with an exercise course, fishing in a stocked lake. The number of things to do can take longer than the park is open in a day.
