While I consider myself an expert on Arizona, it's tough narrowing down the best things to do in Arizona with kids. Arizona is a wonderful place for families of all ages and interests. Kids who love the outdoors, trains, dinosaurs, art, science, animals, and so much more will never want to leave this amazing state. From picturesque views of Sedona's red rocks and the Grand Canyon to outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, swimming, and gold panning, Arizona has it all.

Since I'll rise to any challenge, I've gathered some of the most amazing Arizona places my own children love to visit (and I loved visiting as a kid growing up there). Here are 51 of the best things to do in Arizona with kids, including top attractions, activities, restaurants, and hotels in Sedona and Northern Arizona, Phoenix and Scottsdale, Tucson, and the Grand Canyon.
