With its safe neighborhoods and highly rated schools, Chandler, AZ is one of the best communities in the state for raising children. It’s also a great place for the kids to have fun since there’s so much to see and do. Here are a few kid-friendly activities that you can find in and around the city!
1. Horseback Riding at KOLI Equestrian Center
Whether you’re experienced or just learning the ropes, your whole family can be sure to have a memorable horseback riding experience when you go on one of KOLI’s several beautiful desert trail rides. The Center’s experienced and friendly wranglers are happy to help children learn the basics and lead them on slow, easygoing rides. They even offer their Kids’ Club Horsemanship 101 class, which provides lessons on horse care, grooming, and saddling.
In addition to public group rides, KOLI lets guests schedule private rides that take them deeper into the Sonoran Desert, where wild horses can be encountered.
2. Miniature Golfing at Swingin’ Safari Mini Golf
Going for a round of miniature golf is always a fun time, but what sets Swingin’ Safari apart from traditional courses is its unique 3D blacklight experience! Their indoor course features vibrant murals and lifelike animals that glow in the dark. If the youngsters want to play something other than mini golf, there’s also a large arcade that’s filled with the latest video games and pinball machines.
3. Getting Creative at the Crayola Experience
Through several fun and engaging attractions and activities, the Crayola Experience lets children get in touch with their creative side. Drawing on the walls and floors is a yes-yes rather than a no-no at Scribble Square, and the Melt & Mold machine allows you to create your own jewelry or figurines out of crayon wax. You can even design your own race car or dress and have it come alive on the Experience’s humongous projection screen!
4. Enjoy Some Frozen Treats at Bruster’s Real Ice Cream
Using high-quality ingredients, Bruster’s has created a dizzying list of ice cream flavors that make it easy for you and the kids to cool off from the desert heat. Besides the classics, this ice cream shop offers distinctive and delicious varieties like Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye, Graham Central Station, and Espresso Yourself. Made especially for the kids are the Dino and Dirt Sundaes.
Thanks to the Chevrolet Equinox’s available all-weather floor mats and durable leather upholstery, there’s no need to worry about letting your little ones enjoy their ice cream while on the road!
