Old Town Scottsdale Restaurants
Old Town Scottsdale is South Scottsdale. There's a beautiful Canal running through, lots of shopping and places to be seen. There's the fashion district, the arts district, and the old west town. It's just perfect. Probably a 20 minute drive from our house with plenty of parking (roughly $15 on Uber or Lyft). Rent a scooter and have fun down there!
High class Mexican food. Margs are out of this world. Great outdoor seating. Definitely one of my faves! Also a location in Desert Ridge a little closer to our house, but I like this location better.

You have to go to the Whining Pig downstairs at Desert Ridge Shopping mall, then go around the corner down a hallway and it's hidden underground!

Things To Do With Kids!
If you're traveling with kids, it can be hard. These are things that will completley entertain the little ones, but also be cool for you too!
We spend so much time here. Small enough to see it all in one day, but big enough to be completely entertained. Monkey Village is a favorite, as well as the little orangatan. 2 splash pads help to stay cool while you're there.
