There are so many family-friendly attractions throughout the Grand Canyon State. And, in the Phoenix Metro area alone, we have museums, an aquarium, miniature golf courses, amusement and water parks, and so much more. It’s great to have so many options of places to take the kids including our vast number of playgrounds. One whimsical playground in Arizona that’s a must for families with young children is located at a train park, and it’s one my kids and their friends absolutely love.

Located in Scottsdale, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is an incredible attraction that offers train rides, a carousel, a model train exhibit, and two awesome playground areas.

One playground is shaded and has a railroad theme. Kids love the straight and twisty slides, the swings, the climbing structures, and the trains. There's also a water feature that sprays mists on hot days.
