Outdoor Shopping with Free Kids Entertainment


Here's something fun to do with the kids even when it starts to get hot outside. My 18 month old daughter and I stopped by the Westgate City Center outdoor shopping area located off of Loop 101 and Glendale Rd in the west valley today. We watched the fountain water show, checked out some shops and restaurants, and visited the kids water play area. Although she was a little too small, she had a blast watching the other kids run through the small fountains (not those shown in the photo!) and got close enough to get splashed a few times. There is a good amount of shaded area surrounded by grass and many plush patio chairs for parents to sit and watch. Make sure you bring a towel or a change of clothes as your kids won't be able to resist getting wet. There's also an AMC movie theater plus it's located right next to the Jobing.com Arena and our new University of Phoenix Stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play. Stadium tours are also available many days.
