Plan a family outing with time for the attraction, meals, and the ride back. The guide includes Scottsdale destinations and nearby Phoenix-area options, with locations identified for each stop.
Child seats for family travel
Child seats are available in SUVs and Sprinters—infant, rear-facing toddler, forward-facing toddler, and booster. Share each child’s age and weight when you book so the right seat can be confirmed before pickup. Child seats are not offered in sedans.
Choose one main attraction and leave time for a break. Include children’s ages when booking so reservations can confirm vehicle and seat arrangements before travel.
McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park

Trains, carousel, playgrounds, and open park space—an easy Scottsdale half day without leaving the city.

Reservations & season
Park grounds hours differ from ride hours; attraction schedules vary by month. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day per park information. Confirm on therailroadpark.com.
Service note
Point-to-point with a flexible afternoon return; strollers and bags are common.
For a longer aquarium, museum, or zoo visit, arrange a drop-off and a separately scheduled return. Choose hourly service when you want the chauffeur and vehicle available during reserved time—for example, when a second stop or an earlier return is likely.
Share passenger count and whether a second stop follows the main attraction.
Drive times are approximate ranges from Old Town Scottsdale under ordinary daytime conditions. Peak season, events, and weather can extend them; confirm the route closer to travel.
