The 10 Best Things to do in Ahwatukee Foothills, Arizona (AZ)

October 7, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Nearly perfect year-round weather and several impeccably designed championship courses have made Phoenix one of the top golf destinations in the world. But there's more to this mild-mannered metropolis than pristine greens and tee times. The greater Phoenix area also offers visitors an array of impressive cultural attractions. Visit the internationally renowned Heard Museum for an in-depth look at Native American history or peruse the fine collection at the Phoenix Museum of Art. Enjoy a ballet performance at the ornate Orpheum Theater or or catch a concert at the state-of-the-art Comerica Theatre. In addition to golf, the city offers access to numerous outdoor endeavors including rock climbing, hot-air ballooning, desert jeep tours and more. Family-friendly attractions, first-rate shopping, dining and entertainment, and spectacular recreational activities make Phoenix a must-visit destination.

Range Time

Range Time is a simulated indoor shooting range that is safe for the family and real enough for the professional. Range Time is a new take on the traditional shooting ranges. We have firearm training simulators inside a semi-private and air-conditioned facility in Phoenix. You can safely enjoy hundreds of simulations from basic marksmanship to hunting zombies with a variety of different firearms. -We are open normal posted hours (Posted: 4/24/2021)

Been several times now, by myself and with my fiance for her to learn to shoot. Decided to write this because Sean and his team are running a great shop and I'm so impressed with the facility and service. As a former Marine Corps Infantry Officer having trained hundreds of Marines on firearms tactics (and seen the success of these tactics in Afghanistan), I can say that Range Time offers the best civilian firearms training solution for the price. Because you aren't paying 20-50 cents a bullet, you can practice good shooting fundamentals hundreds (or even thousands) of times in just an hour. Best of all, I can do real training. I can turn/move and shoot, draw from a holster/concealed, shoot behind barricades, and engage moving targets. In terms of actual training value, Range Time is night and day better than going to an indoor range and punching holes in a stationary target at 25 yards. Range Time's real firearms outfitted with laser systems function just like the real thing. I typically shoot the M4 and the Glock 19. They have shotguns, which is definitely cool, but just not my I've brought my fiance as well- she's a new shooter. We had a blast. She gained confidence on her firearm presentation and trigger pull, and the team at Range Time offered valuable instruction to her. The staff is super friendly and helpful- they really want a place for any level of shooters to come out and become more confident in their abilities. We wrapped up our date night at Range Time with some fun shooting zombie and getting over-run by a hoard of wild boar in a hunting sim. My fiance laughed the whole time as we blasted away. Great place. We used systems like these in the Marines, but the systems were nowhere near as accurate and realistic. Range Time is my go-to for training because I can save money and train in ways that is impossible at traditional ranges. Any real shooter will immediately see the benefit of this type of training!

My 5-year old granddaughter was very entertained here and enjoyed it though she 1-inch too short for "best" (zip-lining and ropes). Check-in is the usual process at laptops.

Always a pleasure to shop at any Trader Joes and this was up to par with the rest of them. Seem to buy more than I intended every time I go in but that's ok as it is good food.

Ahwatukee 24

Reviewed By brigadier192003 - Phoenix, United States

While the Theatre is about 15 miles from our home we wanted to check out this place, since we heard some nice things about it. It is in an upscale area of Ahwatukee, Az. in a lovely shopping center. Finding a place to park was easy and we went in and purchased two tickets to see Megan Leavey (the name of the movie). The place is spacious and very clean and we decided to get some Popcorn and a drink. Those two items cost us more than the two tickets! We went before noon so we only paid 5.50 apiece but the refreshments ran to over 14 dollars. The place had 24 movie theatres to handle all the movies and we sat in the soft leather seats that you can press a button to move the back back and down and the foot stool would swing out. with only 8 of these seats in our aisle we relaxed and enjoy the Movie on this 4th. of July. We have visited some very fine Theatres and this has to rate with the best, including those we visited overseas in Thailand, Czech Republic and Costa Rica.

Really enjoyed a great day of golfing with a buddy that lives on the course. He explained before I got there that it was rough in the last summer as many may have been due to the harsh summer but it was in great shape! We will be back.
