If you’re new to Peoria, you may not yet know about all the wonderful things there are to do here, so we’re here to guide you through. Whether you’re flying solo or taking the kids out for the day, you’re never short of outside activities. Read on to start planning.

Adventure Awaits Just Outside Your Door

Peoria is a treasure trove of natural landscapes and activities. Here’s some of the best:

Lake Pleasant Regional Park is a must-visit for families eager to enjoy water activities or serene picnics by the lake, offering gentle breezes and stunning sunsets. You can hike, camp, bike, boat, fish, swim, and more here, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself becoming a regular visitor.

The Sunrise Mountain Trail can be found in Peoria, for days when you want to stay close to home, and West Wing Mountain Preserve also provides accessible trails with breathtaking vistas within the Peoria Regional Reserve.

Golf enthusiasts will find a picturesque challenge at Quintero Golf Club, where the beauty of the course complements the surrounding landscape. If you prefer a faster pace of life, or you’re looking for something to do with excitable kids, the Phoenix Kart Racing Association offers a fun day out with a twisting and turning outdoor track. While it is primarily for members with their own karts, you can easily hire karts for the day.

If you’re not afraid of heights, Arizona Ballooning offers a truly magical experience with hot air balloon rides presenting panoramic views of the Arizona landscape. For beauty without the heights, the Desert Botanical Garden offers you a grounded look at thriving desert flora.

Don’t forget that Spring Training has started over at the Peoria Sports Complex, so you can catch the Padres and Mariners starting their season. For an educational day out, the Pioneer Living History Museum provides a unique outdoor experience, allowing families to step back in time and explore Arizona’s rich history first hand.
