Arizona Night Hikes

Outdoor enthusiasts will be happy to learn that hiking never goes out of season. Bring a flashlight and plenty of water because the Phoenix preserve trails are open until 11pm. This is when the desert critters are far more active and it’s at least 20 degrees cooler after dark. For those of you not so keen on the idea of wildlife, the Maricopa county parks offer a guided hike or nighttime bike rides all summer long. Listening carefully will reveal the nocturnal world you’ve been taking for granted. Learn, exercise and bond with your family all at once and all after hours.

Arizona Science Center

If you’re here with the kids (or grandkids), you won’t want to miss the Arizona Science Center. Kids just love to be grossed out by bodily functions. Let them get their fill at The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body. This featured exhibit will have them talking and learning for weeks after this trip. A pinball journey from the mouth through the large intestine anyone? Take notice of every time the kids tell these stories. Things are larger than life when you see them through the eyes of a child. Good thing your hearing trouble is no longer an issue. While you’re there, check out the 5-story Imax theater. Movies come to life in 3D, on a panoramic screen right in front of your eyes. Experience the childlike wonder and amazement of the world around you all over again.For more information:www.azscience.org

Chaos Comedy Club

 
When you can’t hear very well social gatherings become excruciating. Not only is it far more difficult to follow conversations with all the background noise but you miss out on the funniest jokes. Not anymore. You’ll have your co workers in side stitches next time you’re around the water cooler after this date night activity. Chaos Comedy club is the premier place in Phoenix for good, clean fun. The improv entertainers take audience suggestions and participation to a whole new level. When you realize just how much fun this is, you might consider taking a comedy class. You can do that here too. Book a private event for inside jokes nobody will live down.
