Our travel partners at Free Spirit Vacations have been hard at work trying to plan ways to keep us all active, while staying safe. They have come up with a fun way to travel, learn, and enjoy some of Arizona’s sites, landmarks, and places of note with friends and neighbors—and stay safe! They have begun to offer what they are calling Friday Field Trips! Trips will be conducted on select Fridays.
Discover Valley attractions from the comfort, safety, and security of your own vehicles, while maintaining safe social distancing measures. Each field trip will include a guided, educational audio tour, and will highlight small, locally-owned businesses throughout the Valley. You will stop at the locations, and be able to get out for photos, but cannot go inside any of these places at this time. The price is usually $59 per car and must be booked in advance. Some trips can vary in price. Space is very limited. In addition, in an effort to help those in need during this crisis, participants can bring cans of food to benefit Midwest Food Bank. More great news! The fee also includes discounts at locally owned businesses.
For reservations for any of the scheduled Field Trips below, call the Activities Office at 623-535-9854.
* July 31: Redo PHX and South Mountain
* Aug. 7: Cruise the Zoo
