Phoenix offers more than warm, dry weather

Phoenix remains a popular destination with Canadians who want virtually guaranteed sun. The desert city’s dry climate is also a tonic for aching bones. In short, a great place to relax and just enjoy the weather.

But for those who want some activity during their winter vacation, Phoenix has a lot more to offer than the typical golf and swimming pool routine. Whether it’s botanical gardens, a zoo, museums, or science centres, Phoenix and its surrounding areas have something for everyone. And, of course, if you do want to golf, take your pick of more than 180 courses in the area..
