What Arizona families should know before Father’s Day

  • Many Father’s Day brunches and special events require advance reservations.
  • Popular experiences such as Verde Canyon Railroad, Rainbow Ryders and the Diamondbacks Play Catch VIP Package may sell out before Father’s Day weekend.
  • If Dad prefers experiences over gifts, consider booking activities rather than traditional dining reservations.
  • For families traveling from outside the Phoenix Metro area, consider pairing Father’s Day activities with an overnight stay.
