Goldfield west of Apache Junction near the Superstitions is a fun place to kill some time with kids. When my grandparents lived in Mesa we would always head out there to kill a couple hours. Its set up as an old west town. Lots of little shops with an ice cream store and a restaurant saloon. Also have gun fights and mine tours as well. Its worth going out that way just to see the Superstitions.

A Diamondbacks game would be good for kids. Not to many people in the stands during the week this early in the season plus the roof is usually open this time of year. They also have a playground in the upper deck in right field. Tickets are cheap as well. Good affordable way to experience Major League Baseball without breaking the bank or putting up with big crowds.
