Arizona Boardwalk has firmly established itself as one of Scottsdale’s top entertainment destinations, offering a rich variety of attractions that cater to visitors of all ages. This vibrant and dynamic venue has become a go-to hotspot for families, tourists, and locals alike, providing a blend of fun, education, and unique entertainment all in one place.

Recently featured on Arizona Highways TV, Arizona Boardwalk has captured the attention of audiences across the state. The show’s hosts praised the venue for its ability to offer an entire day’s worth of adventure without having to hop from location to location. “What’s great about Arizona Boardwalk is how you can spend an entire day here moving from one amazing attraction to another,” one host remarked, highlighting its convenience and all-in-one appeal.

A World of Attractions in One Walkable Location

One of the biggest draws of Arizona Boardwalk is its impressive selection of attractions. Visitors can:

  • Explore marine life at the award-winning OdySea Aquarium

  • Step into a tropical paradise at Butterfly Wonderland

  • Experience the human body through the detailed anatomical displays at Bodies Human: Anatomy in Motion

  • Solve puzzles and get lost in the Laser + Mirror Maze

  • Roam with prehistoric giants at Pangaea: Land of the Dinosaurs

  • Travel back in time with the new and immersive Titanic Exhibition

Each of these venues delivers more than just entertainment—they offer engaging and educational experiences designed to spark curiosity in visitors of all ages.

A Day of Learning, Laughter, and Dining

What makes Arizona Boardwalk truly special is the way it weaves learning into every corner of the experience. Many guests walk away saying they “came for fun but left having learned something new.” The venue’s pedestrian-friendly layout makes it easy for families to navigate between attractions, grab a bite to eat, and relax throughout the day.

There’s no shortage of food options, either. From the artisan pizza at Humble Pie to the classic American fare at Johnny Rockets, the Boardwalk offers something for every palate. This thoughtful mix of entertainment, education, and dining creates an unforgettable full-day adventure.

Special Events Add Even More Magic

Adding to its year-round appeal, Arizona Boardwalk regularly hosts seasonal and special events to keep the experience fresh. A current favorite is the Free Foam Frenzy Pop-Up, a complimentary event that turns part of the Boardwalk into a bubble-filled playground—perfect for cooling off during Arizona’s warm summer months. Kids and families can enjoy foam parties scheduled throughout the day, making each visit even more memorable.

These events are just one of the many reasons families continue to come back. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, there’s always something new to discover.

Guests can visit the official website to explore the event calendar, subscribe to the newsletter for exclusive updates, and view ticket options, including discounted combination packages that allow visitors to experience multiple attractions at a lower price.
