15 Best Things To Do in Glendale, Arizona

Picture of Glendale, Arizona

About Glendale


Although not as popular as cities Arizona is known for, Glendale is a mention-worthy city in the state that has a population of over 220,000. It’s also home to the University of Phoenix Stadium, which is an architectural marvel, considering it has a retractable field and roof. More importantly, it can seat over 72 thousand fans of the Arizona Cardinals.

The city takes its entertainment pretty seriously, and that’s evident from the establishment of Westgate Entertainment District, which has everything from outdoor activities to shops and restaurants. Plus, there’s live music on the weekends that locals can sway to in Fountain Park.

Since the district is within walking distance from the stadium, the whole area gives off a recreational vibe that’s hard to resist.
