Or learn about birdwatching or stargazing, or just hear a story with your child in a desert setting. Where? At some of the Maricopa County Regional Parks in the area! They offer all sorts of events, planned on a monthly basis, many with families and even pets in mind.
There's a yoga class for all levels every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at Usery Mountain Park in Mesa. Usury also offers birdwatching, brown bag talks about the desert we live in, and toddler cruises, just to name a few things. See the schedule.
Find the snake feeding at Estrella Mountain Park, in Goodyear, on the 22nd of this month or enjoy a sunset hike, a telescope hike, or learn to make a quail call with your child. See the full schedule here.
See the video below about a barrier-free trail where you can see petroglyphs at White Tank Mountain Park.
You can subscribe to the schedule for the entire park system, or just choose to subscribe to the one nearest you. Check out the map of all the parks here to find one near you.
If you find lots to interest you at any of the parks, it's worth exploring an Annual Pass, good at all the desert/mountain parks in the system The price for these, at $75 ($65 for seniors) is comparable to other year-long memberships in the area. Lake Pleasant has its own fee schedules, see those here. Also, brand new, are coupon booklets, (under Special Discounts) which cost $15, $24 or $45, for three, five or ten visits respectively, at savings of $3, $6 or $15 off individual passes. This is a great way to 'try it and see if you like it' and these would make great stocking stuffers.
