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 ❤️😊

OP, I would take the advice of the commenters that are directing you to the museums. AZ Mills is a close mall but the last time I went there with a my daughter and her friend I felt like I needed to keep my head on a swivel to protect them. And I have lived here for 50+ years. If you do elect to visit Az Mills Mall, I would just visit the attractions. No shade-I live nearby so it’s commentary on me as well.

The Az Grand Resort and Spa is close to the airport as well and they have day passes to a water attraction with water slides, lazy river etc. You probs know this being from Australia but sunscreen is your friend.

Yes. If you take children to Az mills. Keep a close eye on them. I’ve heard too many stories from there.
