Phoenix is the sprawling metropolitan capital city of Arizona. It is best known as a destination for golfing and high-end spa retreats. Other popular attractions include the Desert Botanical Garden, South Mountain Park, Phoenix Zoo, and Tempe Town Lake. The city is sunny year round, but temperatures in the summer can become unbearable, with highs commonly well above 100°F and nighttime temperatures not much cooler. February is a great time to visit because the weather is mild, the temperatures are tolerable, and there are activities in abundance. However, it is quite a popular season among snowbirds, so expect crowds and higher prices on airfare and hotels, especially toward the end of February. Phoenix Map
