Arizona is such a vast state of varied landscapes and terrain. From the cacti forests of the Saguaro Deserts of Tucson in Southern Arizona to the dense pine forests in the mountains of Flagstaff in Northern Arizona, from the Red Rocks of Sedona in North Central Arizona to the sandy lakeshores of Lake Havasu City in Western Arizona, from the bustling metro area of Phoenix in Central Arizona to the great expanse of the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona that truly must be seen to be believed! There are 22 national parks and monuments in Arizona – yes, seriously. It is a state that has a LOT to explore – in every season. Really, the only questions is – where to first?

This is a guide to the Best Family Resorts in Arizona, organized by which region of the state you will find them. A road trip is the perfect way to really see the terrain change as you move across this beautiful state!
