Keeping teens entertained? It’s not always easy, but Chandler actually has lots of fun things that even the pickiest teens will enjoy. From heart-pounding adventures to some seriously good eats, Chandler’s got you covered. Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your teen off their phone…at least for a little while.
Entertainment & Adventure
If your teen loves an adrenaline rush, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games is where it’s at. We’re talking high-speed go-kart racing, a cutting-edge arcade, laser tag and even VR experiences. Another great place for heart-racing fun is Slick City Chandler, where you’ll find massive indoor slides—no water involved, just straight-up sliding madness. Perfect for teens who love a good challenge (and maybe a little competition).
For something super interactive, check out Game Show Battle Rooms. It’s like stepping into a real-life game show complete with buzzers, fast-paced questions and a whole lot of laughs. If your teen is more into physical action, Big Air Trampoline Park and ARENA 23 have got you covered with trampolines, foam pits, basketball dunk zones and some intense obstacle courses.
Outdoor Fun
If your teen prefers fresh air, Chandler’s got plenty of outdoor options, too. Veterans Oasis Park and Desert Breeze Park have scenic hiking and bike trails, perfect for burning off energy. And if it’s blazing hot (which, let’s be real, it can be), head over to Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center. With water slides, a lazy river and a lap pool, it’s the perfect place to cool off and hang out. Plus, there are plenty of shaded spots for you to chill while the teens do their thing.
Shopping
Let’s face it, teens love to shop. Chandler Fashion Center has all the big names like H&M, Urban Outfitters, and Lululemon, while Phoenix Premium Outlets offers sweet deals on brands like Nike, Adidas, and Kate Spade. Pro tip: Give them a spending limit and let them go nuts. It’s a win-win—they’ll feel independent, and you won’t blow the budget.
Dining
Food is life when you’re a teen, right? Luckily, Chandler’s got some top-tier teen-approved spots.
