Phoenix gets extremely hot during the summer with temperatures often reaching the triple digits. The city's indoor playgrounds and parks offer children's activities such as mini-golf, jungle gyms, toddler-safe play stations and party rooms where children can play despite the heat outside. These parks have age limits. An adult admission price is usually less than the child’s admission price.
