They say that Arizona is the land for play, and pieces of Chandler real estate are no exception to this rule. Almost every house has a swimming pool, and it's fun in the sun for residents and visitors alike all year long. Let's take a look at some of the most exciting things to do in Chandler.
Outdoor activities
The sun shines down almost every day of the year in Arizona, and that means year long recreational pursuits outdoors. Well, almost year long anyway. The truth is that there are a couple of weeks every year when most people hole up indoors, not because of cold but because it is just too hot! We'll get to a few things to do on this hot days below, but first we will highlight the major outdoor attractions of Chandler.
When we are talking outdoors in Arizona, we are definitely going to talk about golf. The state is home to some of the finest golf resorts in the country, many of them in and around the Chandler area. You might be a Toronto architect on a retirement tour, a National Hockey League player golfing during the off season, or a doctor on vacation; whoever you are you'll find the best links right here in town!
If well manicured greens and long putts aren't your thing, there are plenty of other outdoor activities to enjoy here in the state. We don't need a greenhouse supplier to get compliments on our natural landscaping. The world's largest cactuses, sagebrush, mesas, and more sport some of the finest hiking and biking trails on the continent. Climb a canyon or go spelunking; there's no end to choices here!
Shopping
Of course, you can't spend your whole life outside (although looking at the average Az resident that's where they spend the majority of it) and when you need to escape the heat, Chandler has plenty of air conditioned shopping centers for your enjoyment. In fact, the area is one of the most popular shopping districts in the Phoenix metro area, thanks to easy traffic access and low crime. Any R&B hip hop music you hear won't be local, since the town is home to just one country radio station. Global satellite and the airwaves of the nearby metropolises get enough cutting edge music to the stores in town, though!
Relaxation
Chandler has always been a popular spot for wellness seekers, thanks to the dry climate. That tradition has been built on with the inclusion in the area of a number of day spas. Gifts given to women involving a day at one of these establishments are always a hit, why not consider sending your lady while you are out on the green for the morning?
Ostrich Festival
Every year the city attracts thousands of tourists to its Ostrich Festival, commemorating the region's economic past. Held each March, you can expect to find a large variety of competitions and rides at this popular attraction, including an annual car raffle and Midway.
