When the desert heat kicks in and your kids are bouncing off the walls, summer fun needs to be easy. You don’t want to drive all over town, wait in long lines, or spend a small fortune just to hear “I’m bored” before the night is over. Phoenix makes it simple with local events that are fun, low-effort, and worth the outing.
Simple Ways to Make Summer Feel Easier
Parents are constantly trying to keep things on track without adding more to their plates. Serrano Orthodontics understands that. With offices in both Phoenix and Chandler, scheduling is designed to be flexible so your family can stay on top of care without rearranging everything else. Dr. Paul Serrano and Dr. Andrew Serrano keep treatment straightforward and practical, so you always know what to expect.
Planning summer doesn’t mean every day has to be a big adventure. The best memories often come from low-key events close to home. Whether you’re watching a movie in the pool or grabbing dinner from a food truck, these small outings can give your family the break you need, without throwing off your routine.
Dive-In Movies at The Scottsdale Resort
If you’re looking for something relaxed but still fun for everyone, Dive-In Movies are a great pick. You’ll float in the pool while watching a kid-friendly movie, and you won’t have to plan much in advance. Here’s what to know:
- Location: 7700 East McCormick Parkway, Scottsdale
- Time: Every Saturday at 7:30 PM (Check-in starts at 6 PM)
- Food and drinks are available from Twisted Vines Pool Bar & Grill until 10 PM
You’ll get a pool key good for the evening. Just bring towels and maybe a dry change of clothes. It’s easy, it’s refreshing, and it gets you all out of the house without a big commitment.
The UP-CLOSE Magic Experience
This one is perfect when you want something a little different. It’s not a big, flashy stage show. Instead, it’s an intimate setup where magicians perform just feet away from the audience, and they’re good.
Event Details:
Where: Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel, 100 North 1st Street
When: Saturday, July 5 – shows at 2:30, 5:00, and 7:30 PM
What to expect:
- Sleight-of-hand magic performed just inches from the front rows
- Family-friendly comedy and audience participation
- Magicians from America’s Got Talent, Fool Us, and Vegas shows
The show runs for 90 minutes, which makes it long enough to feel worth it but not too much for younger kids. It’s also indoors, which is a huge bonus in July.
Bonfire Brawl 2025 – Live Family Wrestling
This one’s full of energy in the best way. Bonfire Brawl is a live, family-friendly wrestling event with over-the-top entrances, dramatic moments, and a crowd that gets into it.
- Happening Friday, July 11, from 7 to 9 PM
- Location: 7432 E Tierra Buena Ln, Suite 102, Scottsdale
Expect action, fun characters, and just enough theatrical flair to keep the kids laughing. It’s loud and exciting, but still safe and appropriate for all ages. If you’ve never been to a live wrestling match, this is a great first experience, and it’s indoors, which helps.
Family Paint Party at Dave & Buster’s
Sometimes you just want something creative, especially when the kids are looking for a new activity. This guided paint night is easygoing and designed for all skill levels. It’s hosted by Paint Nite and led by local artist Ryan Merrill.
What you need to know:
- Date: Tuesday, July 22, from 6 to 8 PM
- Location: Dave & Buster’s – 21001 N Tatum Blvd, Phoenix
- Age range: Kids and adults welcome, best for ages 6 and up
You don’t need to bring anything or know how to paint. Just show up, follow along, and enjoy the process. Everyone goes home with a finished canvas, and the atmosphere is fun but low-pressure.
