Explore Arizona Tours Sees More Families with Young Kids Looking for
Arizona Tour Packages
Explore Arizona Tours sees more family groups (particularly with young children) looking for
Arizona tour packages. Tyson Bailey of Explore Arizona Tours suggests that the Arizona
preference for families with young children in tow could be due to several characteristics of the
state.
Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) October 31, 2009 -- Explore Arizona Tours sees more families with young children
considering Arizona tours and destinations. Explore Arizona suggests this is not a surprise as the state is child
friendly in several ways.
Tyson Bailey of Explore Arizona Tours suggested, "The state is made up of a lot of wide, open spaces. It's the
embodiment of the stereotypical 'west' and people see it as a place where their children will be able to run and
enjoy themselves without causing a problem." Arizona also has mild winters. Families with young children
appreciate this aspect because it decreases the hassle of traveling with children. Traveling in colder climates
requires a lot more luggage (especially when you have 2 or 3 small children). Arizona also has a propensity to
host family friendly functions all year long. There are tons of Arizona tours to choose from.
For instance, a few upcoming, family friendly events include: the 7th Annual Desert Shrimp Fest in Gila Bend
(Nov. 7 & 8th), Music Under the Stars at ASU Music Building (Nov. 6th), Zoo Lights (holiday lights display late
November through early January at the Phoenix Zoo), the Renaissance Festival (late winter/early spring
annually), and more.
Child friendly venues that are popular for Arizona visitors all year long include: Desert Botanical Gardens,
Phoenix Zoo, Pioneer Living History Village, Taliesin West, Adobe Mountain Railroad Park, Carefree Sundial
(one of the world's largest sundials-90 feet across), Fountain Park (home to the world's tallest fountain), Arizona
Science Center, Lowell Observatory, the Arboretum at Flagstaff, Mystery Castle…and more.
