The Best of
Mesa Arizona

Nothing official, just our opinion. Our personal Favorite Family Friendly Places

  • The Best place to Rent a Video
    Rent-a-Movie 890-2996
    South West corner of Broadway and Stapley Dr.

    Why? Because of the friendly people. An owner operated business, with good rental specials, and the latest releases. Reserve your favorite movie and pick it up at the drive through window!! Kids can Color, watch a video, or play with legos while Mommy and Daddy find a Movie.

  • The best Used Books, Music and Software
    Bookman's
    North West corner of Country Club and Southern

    Why? Not only the largest selection of pre-owned reading material, music and software to be found, but also very friendly areas to sit and "preview" . Childrens area, frequent "happenings" from learning to dance to childrens crafts. Knowledgable staff, requests taken. Large selection of magazines also.

  • The best way to stay COOL in the summer
    Ice Blocking
    Any Park with large slopes, several unnamed parks around Mesa

    This is a "fun" thing to do. It's pretty senseless, but cool. Take a large block of ice, a towel to cover it, and sit on it and slide down the hill. Great for kids of all ages and kids at heart. ( I have heard this will soon be illegal because people who have never done it, think it is a danger to the grass, but so far we have never been "busted" for blocking.)

  • The Best Movie Deal for Families
    Town Center Cinema's 222-Film
    South West corner of Main and Sirrine

    Why? $1.50 movies, all the time, refills on Large Popcorn, Kiddie Pak Popcorn and drink specials. 8 theaters in one.

  • The best Dinner Special
    SHoney's
    Several Locations

    Wednesday evening , all you can eat "breakfast bar " special, $5.49 from 4-9 pm. Kids eat free on Wed night, limit 2 kids for each paying adult. ( That is a family of 6 for less then $12.00)
