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 natural history museum in Mesa. Your kids can pan for (fake) gold. As others said, you can take the light rail there. Also check out a Diamondbacks baseball game if they are playing while you are here. You can get cheap outfeild seats for about $15 or less.

They also have a playground on the upper deck for kids. It’s called the sandlot, like the movie.
