2025 Arizona Spring Training Lodging & Entertainment Guide
A brief list of places to stay, dine and visit while you're in Arizona for Spring Training
Since Spring Training in Arizona is a lot more accessible than in Florida, and many of the ballparks are clustered in the greater Phoenix area, rather than trying to list hotels, restaurants, and points of interest on each ballpark’s individual page, I wanted to create one page that lists them all as well as provide a Google Map to help visualize where things are.
A DISCLAIMER that this list is simply a STARTER and contains places that either others have recommended, are well-reviewed, near ST ballparks, support small businesses/women/LGBTQ+ etc. that perhaps those newer to attending Spring Training would love some guidance with, or possibly places even veterans may not have been aware of and is certainly not COMPREHENSIVE of all the available options.
I know there are many many places not listed here that people frequent, or maybe even places that people believe should NOT be included. If there are any inclusions that you feel should be made here, please feel free to let me know! And likewise, anything that people should AVOID, would also love to include here.
Please note, fast food restaurants, national chains (aside from hotels), places like the Grand Canyon, Sedona are not included on here as well as the plethora of golf courses and every possible museum & hiking trail.
See the Google Map of the list below.
