Rosson House Museum at The Square PHX · Central City • $49
Wander Downtown Phoenix with real paranormal gear, hunting spirits at haunted landmarks before slipping into a hidden speakeasy for custom cocktails. This is grown-up ghost hunting: history, haunts, and a password-protected bar.

Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix · Central City • $110
Whisk, sip, repeat: a tea gathering centuries in the making. Led in the Urasenke tradition by the lineage of Grand Master Sen Soshitsu XVI, each bowl of matcha is prepared with meditative precision. A docent-led stroll through the garden's koi ponds and waterfalls rounds out the morning.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
