Looking for museums that offer free admission? Visit the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art on any Thursday in the fall or winter, or the Scottsdale Historical Museum on any day in June. The Hoo-hoogam Ki Museum is free all year round, and at Heard Museum North, admission includes a free guided tour.

Rover also needs a place in the sun. Mesa's dog parks have areas set aside to let your dog off the leash and just run, meeting other dog owners and their pets. If you prefer to jog with your pet, dogs on the leash are welcome to all of Mesa's canal trails.
