Phoenix, Arizona, USA trip: Romantic Overnight Escape to Phoenix | TripWiser: Social Trip Planner for Family Trips and Road Trips

Nothing stirs up romance quite like luxurious accommodations, fine dining, and listening to Jazz tunes tickling the night air. If you only have a weekend to refresh yourselves, this trip will do the trick.

Day 1 Pueblo Grande Museum is located at a 1,500 year-old Hohokam village ruins in modern day Phoenix. On the 102 acre park grounds, visitors explore the ruin of an 800 year-old platform mound possibly used by the Hohokam for ceremonies or as an administrative center.
Day 2 The Arizona Science Center features futuristic architecture by Antoine Predock and attempts to turn learning into fun. Interactive exhibits including All About Me and Fab Lab are cleverly designed to educate and entertain. Experience the night sky or a laser light show under the dome of the Dorrance Planetarium. Attend a film, if you prefer, in the Irene P. Flinn Theater with its five-story-high screen. For lunch, try the super-casual Shelmita's. Order authentic Sonoran-style Mexican cuisine at the walk-up counter. Mariachi music and a Spanish-speaking staff will make you feel like you are south-of-the-border. Brightly lit, find a spacious dining room with heavy wood chairs and more than 20 tables.
