My job’s flying me out to Phoenix (I live and work in NYC)— this video is by far one of the best “what to do in [city]” videos. Everything you need to know without being dragged out, all while being shown actual examples and videos of the places you’re talking about. 10/10

Lived in Phoenix for 5 years, left in part because of how hot it gets. Just got exhausting to deal with. It’s a very nice place to visit during the winter but I don’t miss the heat!

Desert botanical garden is a must visit though. Truly an incredible place.

If you go in the summer you’ll understand when the locals say, “it’s too hot to go swimming”. 😂

I have not been to Phoenix since I was 14. Seems like I should check it out again. Lovely Video

[Jeannified]

Great detailed video on the Phoenix area, Chris! Good job! Makes me want to go visit!

[alexwallace]

Thanks Chris, for showing us phoenix. I was there about 14 yrs ago for a few days in Jan. I have 2 friends who moved there, 7 yrs ago and nor sure what part but they love it, and i have a friend in mesa. I hope I can visit in the Winter sometime.

Great Video, only I will say that you may need to modify the sedona and the grand canyon video clips. That seems to be Moab Utah and Horseshoe bend in Page.

Unusual things to do in the Phoenix / Tuscon area for Tech-geeks:
- Visiting Biosphere 2
- Pima air&space museum
- Tucson Airplane Graveyard? (309th AMARG Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group)
- Titan Missile Museum

You may want to include these destinataions in a future video.

One big point about orientation and driving around Phoenix that is critical . . . the north-south roads are done by numbers going out from Central, as you pointed out. What is very important for people who are visiting to know is that as you head east, they are Streets, as you head west, they are Avenues. You MUST know if you're going to a Street or an Avenue!! If you get this wrong or do not specify, you may end up completely on the other side of town, and perhaps in an area that is not tourist friendly.

Smaller point as to when to visit, because of Spring Break and Spring Training Baseball, March is a huge tourist month, so rates will be especially spiked then.

Three other things to visit that weren't mentioned (or I missed them): Desert Botanical Garden, Musical Instrument Museum, Heard Museum.

Lastly, Yellow Productions has warned about this on many other videos, but I'll repeat it here . . . make sure when looking at hotel prices, you look at the final amount, not the listed amount. Aside from some "resort" fees, there will be a city tax and a state tax, so that listed per night rate will increase once you are about to pay.

Wow, great content. Would love to visit Phoenix soon. Thanks for sharing 👍.

I live in Phoenix and sky harbor is a really good airport tbh. It’s always better than the one I end up landing at.

[Danielle-txes]

oh dear thank you so much..first time we are going for finals on tennis...thank you so much for all the information.

[kfaberdnt]

I love when i search a new city im headed to and you covered it!

[jameshiga]

Hi Chris. Thanks for the info on Phoenix. Thinking about staying in Phoenix before heading to Vegas. I heard that Sedona has wonderful hiking trails with great views. Would love to take advantage of that. Great pro tip on the interstate route and rental car rental in town. Take acare.

[JohnAdmiralAwesome]

what a difference compared to your prior videos, very dynamic. I like it! Always a fan from a Zonie.

[diegochavez]

As a local i would actually suggest staying in flagstaff for a couple of days vs a night in both Sedona amd Flagstaff as Sedona tends to be expensive year round vs spending the aame price for the two nights in Flagstaff the drive between both towns is only about 45 minutes and you can also go to the grand canyon the next day! Also another great day trip would be Tucson there also some great stops there and only 2 hours away from Phoenix

Great video! My daughter went to ASU and now lives out there. Tempe has some real nice restaurants and cheaper than Scottsdale. I find November to be a very pleasant month. Can swim in the daytime and might need a light jacket at night. Hotels are cheaper in November than Jan-March. Have to hike A Mountain at ASU for great views. Airport is good and for the most part workers and TSA are friendly. Go to Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix.

Nice video, really informative. I never really thought about visiting Phoenix but if I ever do then I'll know what to do now!
