Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Buckeye

"Laveen’s best-kept secret might just be Scooptacular, a small but cheery ice cream shop featuring fun and interesting flavors. At this suburban strip mall ice cream destination, you’ll find made-in-house ice cream including citrus cream cheese, green apple, taro, red velvet cake, and more. Our favorite might be Scooptacular’s Playdough, a simple but fun-looking flavor made with three different colors of sweet cream-flavored ice cream."

"Handcrafted ice cream is usually the best; especially when it comes in some kooky creations that you can’t find anywhere else (like cookie monster and playdough flavors). Well, anywhere but Scooptacular that is."

"Located southwest of Phoenix, Estrella Mountain Regional Park boasts 20,000 acres of pristine desert, mountains and even a large wetland. Amenities are available to visitors, including baseball fields, the only grass picnic area (65-acres) in the Maricopa County Park System, a golf course, fishing from the Gila River, and over 33 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Short hikes include the 2.4-mile Baseline Trail and all day hikes include the Pedersen Trail which encompasses 8.7 miles."

"Great go to place to get ice cream especially during the summer. Very good prices on water. Plenty of carts to load and unload your water jugs."

"This 64-acre park is known for its iconic shooting fountain, but the aptly named Fountain Park also features various picnic tables, benches, and 35 acres of turf. That means grab the blanket and spread out your takeout. Tons of eateries line the edges of Fountain Park, including La Botana Tacos and All American Sports Grill."

"Any good brunch will feature mimosas and pancakes, and both can be found at The Lola inside the Westgate Entertainment District in the west Valley. Ever hear of a pancake board?. You can put your curiosity to rest by ordering over this impressive dish, packed with a dozen small pancakes and a ton of sweet and savory toppings and seasonal fruit."

"Colados boasts a brewing tradition passed through generations, and a creative approach to a traditional French treat: the crepe. You’ll find classic blended and espresso drinks alongside pancakes piled high with everything from fruit and granola to chipotle chicken. 10685 W Indian School RD Suite G, Avondale 85392 (623) 215-3826"
