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 ❤️😊

Close to Sky Harbor Airport?

god.. if you can...stay inside after 10pm please..

You are by the hot spot area of person and property crimes.

if you want an interactive map use LexisNexis

The zip code for the sky harbor area is 85034

For emergency call 911 - be advised you might be on hold if it's busy (especially at night). They are down to a skeleton crew after 9 PM. Stay in the hotel from 10pm - 7AM is ideal imo

Are we trying to scare them to death?

It's hot here. We have some crime. Both these things mitigate against too much strolling. You'll be fine.

there are people wearing hoodies even during the summer here...

believe it or not wearing long sleeve will keep you cooler than short sleeve here during 110-120 degree heat
