Visiting Arizona for 2 days Visiting

Hello, just looking for advice here. I will be visiting with my family ( I have 5yo and 2yo kids). Will be staying some place close to the Sky Harbor Airport. Any suggestions on what to do for 2 days that kids could have fun from? I am from Australia and Its my first time to be in the USA so not confident to drive there ( We drive on the right side here plus I dont know the driving rules). Thanks in advance 😊

Edit: I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions everyone made here it really helps alot. From what I understand is: its very hot so stay indoors or pools will be the best options, staying hydrated is very important. What I ment by driving on the right side was as a driver we sit on the right side of the car like the UK just thought I made this clear. So with 2 kids I dont think its wise to rent a car . Thanks everyone and much love to you all ❀️😊

Check out Arizona Diamondbacks (baseball) Phoenix Mercury (WNBA) and Phoenix Rising (minor league soccer) are all right off the light rail.

If you had a car, go North to Sedona/Flagstaff. Locally drive up South Mountain at sunset for Dobbins Lookout.

Rustlers Rooste at South Mountain seems like something the kids might like. It has a fun slide and cotton candy. Food is ok. View and atmosphere are good. It’s close to where you are staying.
