Take the Kids… Please!

It’s Saturday morning, summer vacation and the kids have watched their fave cartoon 30 times already. Another go-round and you might not make it out alive—especially since they're on a cereal-induced sugar high and suffering from cabin fever. Let Tempe Marketplace save you from a potential "lord of the flies" mother hunt!
 
Instead of finding your children congregating in your makeup box applying war paint and mapping out their plan of action, you could be lounging in the shade, listening to live music, sipping an iced coffee and catching up on your Brangelina news while the little tykes tear off in the direction of Tempe Marketplace's splash fountain (where they can go bananas and entertain themselves for a change).

And when it’s time for everyone to eat, it’s no biggie if you can’t agree! So what if one says pizza, the other says burrito, the hubby says cheeseburger, and secretly you're longing for sushi and a place to wear the new dress you just bought. No worries—you're parent of the year at Tempe Marketplace, which has all your bases covered.

In fact, we can't think of a better way to send your little angels off to dreamland than with their bellies happy and full, a little retail therapy under your belt and a plan to return to Tempe Marketplace next week. Mark your calendars and be sure to check out some of their upcoming kid-friendly events.
