Family Fun in Sedona AZ

Family Fun in Sedona AZ. When it comes time to plan a family vacation, Sedona Arizona provides the makings of an unforgettable adventure for families to connect with each other and with nature.

Biking, hiking, camping, climbing, swimming, water sliding, ballooning, jeep riding (guided or unguided), golf, horseback riding, birding, star gazing and picnics on the banks of gurgling Oak Creek or in Sedona’s city and state parks, are some of the ways to delight both young and old.

Start your trip by doing “the best first thing to do in Sedona,” a Sedona Trolley ride. Get a layout of the town, find out where the great spots to eat are, what famous people have lived or live in the area, and spot famous red rock formations.

For little tikes, there are Sunset and Posse Grounds parks, equipped with playground equipment, swings and barbecue grills. For older children, there’s the Sedona Skate Park, municipal tennis courts, bowling, four-wheeling, a trout farm and fish hatchery. In addition to citywide services, individual hotels and resorts have their own amenities. The Sedona Racquet Club provides family access to an indoor salt-water pool, tennis courts and workout rooms.
