BEYOND THE BALLPARK
- No Scottsdale spring training itinerary is complete without hitting the links. After a day on the golf course at Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, stop by the Clubhouse for a lineup of team-inspired hot dogs: a Diamondback Dog for the Arizona Diamondbacks, classic Chicago Dog for the Chicago White Sox, Texas Chili Cheese Dog for the Texas Rangers, and Seattle Dog for the Seattle Mariners.
- Rainbow Ryders invites visiting fans to experience a one-of-a-kind bucket list adventure during spring training season with gift certificates for sunrise hot air balloon flights at a special discounted rate of $175 per person.
- After the excitement of spring training, continue the action in the Sonoran Desert with a half-day ATV tour with Desert Wolf Tours, which recently completed a new all-inclusive trailhead facility. Navigate rugged desert terrain while feeling the rush of off-road exploration.
- For those who prefer a little less gametime and a little more downtime, look no further than premier shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square, Scottsdale Quarter, Kierland Commons or Old Town Scottsdale, or unwind at one of more than 50 spas in the area.
