Scottsdale is known for<\/span><\/a> beautiful scenery, a vibrant arts scene, and upscale charm, but that\u2019s just the beginning of everything this city has to offer. When exploring and learning more about Scottsdale, It\u2019s hard not to be captivated by the rich culture of this town and start to explore <\/span>renting an apartment in Scottsdale<\/span><\/a> or even <\/span>buying a home in the city<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From indulging in exquisite local cuisine to exploring the rugged terrain on an ATV, here\u2019s Redfin\u2019s ultimate bucket list for discovering a slice of what Scottsdale has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Aerial<\/p>\n

1. Try some of the local cuisine<\/span><\/h2>\n

Food is an essential part of <\/span>living in Scottsdale<\/span><\/a> and should be the first thing you cross off your Scottsdale bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is nothing that I enjoy more in Scottsdale than the food – especially the Mexican restaurants,\u201d recommends <\/span>Alpha Publisher<\/span><\/a>, a publishing company based in Delaware with an office in Arizona. \u201cPlaces like <\/span>Barrio Queen<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Los Sombreros<\/span><\/a> offer tasty dishes like fajitas and street tacos. The flavors are bold and the ingredients fresh, making every meal special. Eating outside on the patios is nice, and the atmosphere is lively. Trying different foods in Scottsdale is like going on a fun food journey that always makes me happy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Need a few more recommendations? Listen to Chef and Partner Cory Oppold of local restaurant <\/span>COURSE<\/span><\/a>, \u201cA few of my favorite places to enjoy when I\u2019m not in the kitchen at COURSE restaurant are <\/span>Hush Public House<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Andreoli Italian Grocer<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Chula Seafood<\/span><\/a>.\u201d While you\u2019re out and about, pop into COURSE to pay Cory a visit and experience one of Scottsdale\u2019s fine-dining experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Grab a pint from a local bar<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a thriving bar scene, grabbing a pint from a local bar or brewery is essential to any Scottsdale bucket list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom upscale lounges offering craft cocktails to lively sports bars pulsing with energy, there’s something to suit every mood and taste,\u201d shares Michelle Hoff of <\/span>Desert Dog Offroad Adventures<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhether unwinding with friends on a trendy rooftop terrace overlooking the city skyline or immersing myself in the laid-back charm of a neighborhood pub, Scottsdale’s bars never cease to provide memorable experiences. With an abundance of live music performances, innovative mixology, and friendly locals, exploring the diverse bar scene in Scottsdale always promises a night to remember.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Old Town Scottsdale<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cNo visit to Scottsdale is complete without a visit to Old Town Scottsdale,\u201d advises David Andre of <\/span>Phoenix Scottsdale DISCOVER<\/span><\/a>, a website specializing in tourism information for visitors. \u201cThe area\u2019s western flair includes historic sites from the 1880\u2019s, boutique shops, art galleries, and many bars and restaurants.\u201d <\/span>Art One<\/span><\/a>, a local art gallery, seconds this recommendation saying, “The Old Town District is filled with galleries and shops for everyone to enjoy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A visit to Old Town Scottsdale opens you up to a world of opportunity and adventure. Feel free to spend a day or two exploring all the district has to offer, and while you\u2019re there stop by Art One Gallery to check out artwork created exclusively by students and local Arizona artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Take in Scottsdale\u2019s vibrant art community<\/span><\/h2>\n

Featuring a thriving arts community, an exploration of <\/span>Scottsdale\u2019s Arts District<\/span><\/a> is essential to any Scottsdale bucket list. \u201cThe arts and galleries have been a focal point of Scottsdale for over 60 years,\u201d shares Charles S. King of <\/span>King Galleries<\/span><\/a>, a local art gallery with locations in Scottsdale and Santa Fe, NM. \u201cCheck out some of the best artists in the country, whose work can be found in just a few blocks.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling spurred creatively, consider signing up for one of the programs at the <\/span>Scottsdale Artists\u2019 School<\/span><\/a>, located within walking distance of the Scottsdale Arts District. Gabriele Rewis of the Scottsdale Artists\u2019 School speaks about the influence of being so close to the epicenter of arts in Scottsdale, \u201cBlocks from the arts district, students can walk to numerous art galleries, museums, restaurants, and other unique locations around town. Students can expect a wonderful experience, rich with the art and culture of the Southwest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Scottsdale\u2019s artistic vibrancy stretches even outside the city limits, as is the case for <\/span>Fountain Hills Theater<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAs a performing arts venue in Fountain Hills, we greatly appreciate the many performing arts venues available in nearby Scottsdale,\u201d shares Patty Torrilhon of Fountain Hills Theater. \u201cThese include <\/span>Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>Don Bluth Front Row Theatre<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Desert Stages<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>ASU Kerr<\/span><\/a>. So many opportunities to enjoy local talented actors, designers, directors, choreographers, and musicians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Play around in Scottsdale\u2019s outdoor paradise<\/span><\/h2>\n

An essential to any Scottsdale bucket list is to explore the great outdoors. \u201cWith over 300 sunny days annually, Scottsdale is a hiker\u2019s paradise,\u201d shares David Andre of Phoenix Scottsdale DISCOVER. \u201cOur favorite is <\/span>Pinnacle Peak Park<\/span><\/a>, a granite summit with an elevation of 3,169 feet. The trail is two miles long one way with beautiful views at the summit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiking is a major pastime among locals. \u201cWe love early morning hikes at Tom\u2019s Thumb for the views and to get out of the city for a minute\u201d shares Alex Martin of <\/span>Lom Wong<\/span><\/a>. Chef Cory Oppold of COURSE seconds this route, \u201cI also love getting outdoors and hiking Tom\u2019s Thumb Trail, which offers beautiful desert views in Scottsdale\u2019s McDowell Sonoran Preserve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Clevenger of <\/span>Scottsdale Selfie<\/span><\/a>, a local photography studio and party venue, does a superb job of summing up the allure of Scottsdale\u2019s outdoor playground. “Scottsdale perfectly embodies the combination of urban sophistication and natural beauty, with the nearby <\/span>McDowell Mountain Preserve<\/span><\/a> serving as a prime example,\u201d shares Mike. \u201cHaving called this city home for over 30 years, I’ve come to cherish the accessibility and diverse trails offered by the preserve for both hiking and biking. With the stunning backdrop of the McDowell Mountains and the wild Saguaro cacti dotting the landscape, every experience becomes a journey through our amazing desert.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Explore the trails on an ATV or UTV<\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe you\u2019re looking for a more high-adrenaline way to explore the Arizona landscape. How about seeing the scenery from an ATV or UTV? \u201cWe believe Scottsdale’s allure lies in its rugged desert landscapes. Our ATV and UTV off-road tours offer an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert,\u201d shares Chas Metz of <\/span>Arizona Outdoor Fun<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAs guests traverse our winding trails, they’re treated to panoramic views of the breathtaking Bradshaw Mountains and towering Saguaro cacti. It’s an exhilarating experience that captures the essence of the Sonoran Desert.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Soak up the sunshine<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bathed in sunshine and beautiful temps for most of the months of the year, good weather is one of the aspects of <\/span>what it\u2019s like to live in Scottsdale<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThere is no place I would rather be during the cold winter months than Scottsdale, Arizona,\u201d shares Rebecca Wise, Spa Manager at AWAY Spa<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 \u201cScottsdale is the place to travel to from October to May with its beautiful weather.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scottsdale\u2019s weather also makes it an ideal spot for beautiful sunsets. \u201cOur sunsets are unmatched,\u201d shares Sara Waterman of <\/span>Sara Waterman Photography<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe combination of dry air and light cloud coverage produces inspiring sunset paintings you would be hard-pressed to duplicate. A near perfect climate and majestic mountains make Scottsdale one of the best backdrops for photography. That is why you will find me capturing families and love in all forms at sunset almost nightly.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love the sunsets over the mountains,\u201d adds Angela Rana of <\/span>State 48 Brewery<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAny direction you drive in Scottsdale, you look up to see the beautiful mountains, they are inspiring to me.\u00a0 They look different in the sunlight and on rainy days. Camelback Mountain is my favorite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And for the few months when the climate is too hot, Shelby Lea of <\/span>Shelby Lea Photography<\/span><\/a> has you covered with a tip. \u201cJust spend those two months in the pool or take a summer vacation to the mountains less than 2 hours away where it\u2019s cooler,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Catch a spring training game at Scottsdale Stadium<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a truly unique experience, catch some spring training of the San Francisco Giants at <\/span>Scottsdale Stadium<\/span><\/a>.

10. Wander through one of Scottsdale\u2019s museums<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scottsdale is home to a treasure trove of fascinating museums, interesting sights, and breathtaking monuments. \u201c<\/span>Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art<\/span><\/a> and Frank Lloyd Wright\u2019s desert masterpiece <\/span>Taliesin West<\/span><\/a> are a couple of our favorite spots,\u201d shares Kristin Heggli of <\/span>Hotel Valley Ho<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Take a paint and sip class<\/span><\/h2>\n

With so much outdoor activity, it can be a nice change of pace to sit inside and engage a different part of your brain. Scottsdale is home to several art studios offering classes in everything from pottery to acrylics, including local business The Brush Bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in Old Town Scottsdale for over 12 years, this woman-owned studio offers traditional paint and sip style classes in a relaxed atmosphere with drinks and snacks\u2013a perfect place to learn. \u201cOur main priority is for our guests to try something artistic in a welcoming and fun environment,\u201d shares Lauren Davidson of <\/span>The Brush Bar<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAn instructor will teach you to create a masterpiece step by step, while you can also listen to great tunes and chat with your date.

12. Experience the people and the culture<\/span><\/h2>\n

Josh Skehan of <\/span>Josh Skehan Productions<\/span><\/a> highlights another aspect of living in Scottsdale: the atmosphere of service towards one another. \u201c<\/span>Having traveled around the world, whether it’s business, leisure, dining, or hospitality, there are few places in the world where you will encounter such exemplary service accompanied by a friendly smile.”<\/span><\/p>\n
