Silverleaf - Scottsdale, AZ

Remember the magic of being a kid? Not to go down the path of the “good old days” but they really were. It was a world before video games, cell phones and computers… that time in your life when just your surroundings could entertain you for hours. That memory is captured perfectly and brought back to life in Silverleaf. With 13 parks, plentiful walking, biking and hiking trails and even a lake to throw a fishing line into, kids get to discover the great outdoors in one of Scottsdale’s most enchanting environments.

3. Silverleaf’s Cure for “I’m Bored!”

‘Parent Survival Night’ – Need we say more? While this one is “for the kids”, we all know it is just as much for the parents (wink, another reason to love Silverleaf). Ongoing parent survival nights include cool themed activities like “Wonderful Wizards” where kids learn magic and watch “The Wizards of Waverly Place” to “Use Your Noodle”, a night of fun with favorite kids’ games. Add in other activities like 50s sock hops, ice cream socials, learning science by playing with bubble gum and junior golf clinics for the littlest ones on the links and it is enough to make us sigh and say… “Oh, to be a kid again!”
