15 Things to do in Tempe, Arizona

Tempe, Arizona is home to Arizona State University and it is a fun college town with a bunch of places to explore. Amie and I got a chance to spend 3 days there and we loved being able to try some of the area's hikes, restaurants and unique attractions like axe throwing and a rage room. Check out this video for all of our favorite spots and let us know what we left off in the comments.

I miss Tempe. Best 2 years of my life I spent here. ASU gave the opportunity to meet some of the best people from around the world. I would love to revist Tempe any given day

I lived in Tempe for two years and now live in Scottsdale. I highly recommend MedFresh Turkish Restaurant on Mill Avenue between 4th and 5th streets in the heart of downtown Tempe. They have an awesome chicken kabob and many other great Turkish dishes and more. Don't forget the to ask for roasted hot pepper and the garlic sauce to enhance your dining experience. The take a walk around downtown Tempe afterward and even a hike around - or up - Hayden Butte. You can see it from the restaurant. It's right freaking there! Enjoy!

Thanks for the great video. Much appreciate it. I’m heading to Tempe for the Ironman Arizona triathlon this next November in 2022. This definitely will help as I’ve never been to that town.

And many of us remember when Tempe town lake was literally just dirt and the majority of the Phoenix/Tempe homeless population spread to other areas

I love your videos and watch them all the time. Since you are doing a series on Arizona, can you do one on Bisbee, AZ? It one of my partner's favorite towns in Arizona and I would love to learn/see more about Bisbee. I haven't found a YouTube video on Bisbee that really provides a nice overview of the area. I think you two would make a great Bisbee trip video.
