Arizona summers are often described as dry. But while humidity might not typically be a problem, that doesn’t mean that people enjoy the arid, sweltering heat. While the warm weather could keep you indoors in your spacious Phoenix apartment, we find that the best way to enjoy the summers is to look for some amazing spots in the Phoenix area that will keep you cool and entertained. Here are a few of our top spots to escape the summer sun and enjoy the warmer weather.

Favorite Spot to Relax in the Community

Community living is important to many, which is why we recommend going somewhere relaxing where you can bump into plenty of people near you, literally! The nearby Salt River is a hotspot for those looking to cool down and relax, many of whom will use Salt River Tubing to find the perfect amenities that will allow them to float carefree down the river. If you enjoy kicking your feet up while staying cool, this is the perfect activity for you.

Local Gems

Looking to support local businesses and spots while getting away from the Arizona summer sun? There are so many places to enjoy if you’re looking to cool down. If you want something a bit quieter yet still fun, consider taking a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum or going to the Sea Life Arizona Aquarium, following it up with a visit to Pizzeria Bianco or Trapp Haus BBQ. If you’re trying to party and stay cool all day, you may want to get a bit more wild at the Maya Day Club.

Stay Cool in Your Apartment Living Space and Beyond This Summer!

Your apartment offers all the cool air you need, but it’s still fun to go out and about even as temperatures are rising. When it comes time to do something, get started with some of the places in this guide and spread outward from there!
