Here are the things my children thought were interesting to go and do in Phoenix and my notes about each.

  • Sea Life Aquarium  
      I called the Aquarium, if we have 15 children everyone gets in for $6 and one adult goes free for every 10 kids.  I think we have to book it like a school.  Reg price is ages 3-12 = $9.50 ages 13+ = $17.50  very pricey.   No home school stuff offered yet, but they will later this summer.  http://www.sealifeus.com/phoenix/schools  http://www.sealifeus.com/phoenix/phoenix-home
