Phoenix 5 Things To Do This Weekend

The weather's nice. There's plenty to do this weekend. Here are five picks:

1. 100 Years, 100 Ranchers Photography Exhibit By Scott Baxter

The Arizona Historical Society's Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park is mounting a show of photos showing 100 years of ranching in the state. This is the first weekend that the show opens and it runs through May 16. For more information, go here.

2. Cirque du Soleil Crystal

Everyone knows that Cirque du Soleil are great acrobats and aerialists. What not everyone knows is that they are pretty awesome on ice. If you have time, head over to Talking Stick Resort Arena where they will be this weekend. Go here for more information.

3. Dino Explorer

Looking for something to do with the kids? Head over to the Legoland Discovery Center for their brand new Dino Explorer exhibit, which includes special tables where kids can make their own LEGO dinosaur or get their pictures taken with a giant LEGO T-Rex. To find out more, head here for all the details.

4. Beauty and the Beast

Head to the Mesa Arts Center this weekend (and next, if you're busy) for the Disney favorite. Bring the kids or just head on your own for this Broadway classic. For tickets, click here.

5. NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series 500 Spring Race Weekend

This is your chance to see Kyle Busch and Kevin Harnick as part of NASCAR Goes West. Races on both days this weekend. More information can be found here.
