Just be aware you need a permit to visit Fossil Creek now. Lottery is the first of every month and they go quickly.

(personally, I think the Heard Museum and Talliesin would be a big bore for kids that age).

I agree. Honestly the Heard Museum was a big bore to me and I am an adult!

Oh yes, do not miss Sedona! It is the most beautiful town I've ever seen.

Taliesen West is also a great idea, especially if you're into architecture. It's unique to Phoenix, but relevant far beyond.

My daughters love the OdySea Aquarium, located in Scottsdale. Great place to visit during the hottest part of the day!

And there are those of us who think Sedona is a tourist trap. You look at red rocks, then what?

Then, after lunch, you climb back on your tour bus and return to reality.
