Most underrated spot in arizona I visited taliesin west, home and studio of famous architect Frank Lloyd. This is now a world heritage site and uou can take a self guided tour that takes about an hour to complete.

I visited this interactive museum with my brother and we had a blast going through all the exhibits. We went on a weekday and pretty much had the place to ourselves. There are various Wonderspaces accross the US so check them out if they're in your city!

Oktoberfest

SANTAN BREWING OKTOBERFEST
@TravelingRosas
Just a few minutes outside Phoenix is Chandler where the annual Oktoberfest is held. If you purchase tickets ahead of time you'll save a couple bucks compared to purchasing them at the door. Enter the braut eating competition or stein holding competition!
