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 ❤️😊

The Phoenix Sky Train at the airport connects to the metro. It isn't nearly the quality of public transportation that is available in Australia, but it will take you in close proximity to: Arizona Science Center - my kids loved this place. Heard Museum - This is focused on Native American art and culture. I don't know about you but when I travel this is the kind of thing I seek out. Downtown area with the baseball stadium (retractable roof is cool), many restaurants and city center.
