The activities list for my nieces two week visit was vast. I had everything you could do inside with children in this hot Arizona heat on my list. The list ranged from activities we could do in the house to visiting museums. We tried to think of a variety of activities so they wouldn’t be bored during their visit. Remarkably, the one place that proved to be one our most fun activities didn’t make the list because I had never heard of it. That place was the PixyPros Selfie Museum in Arrowhead Mall.
So How Did We Find This Place?
We actually came across PixyPros by accident. We were originally heading to the Build A Bear store in the same mall, but due to our late start that morning, we didn’t make it in time. They had a limited capacity and were full the rest of the day. We were a little disappointed, but made the best of the situation. So, we just roamed the mall instead buying treats and doing some light shopping.
Our Luck Changed For the Better
As we were making our way to the food court, we walked pass the PixyPros location. Something about the vibrant colors and music captured my attention, so I decided to walk in and take a look. The young man working the counter gave me a brief introduction about the establishment and how it worked. He also explained the pricing (which was very affordable).
Me and the girls walked around and really liked what we saw. There were a variety of sets to choose from. Each set was colorful and unique. There was something there for everybody. Plus, every set was equipped with a ring light and cell phone attachment which made taking photos easier.
After our little tour of the venue was over, I immediately thought it was a cool idea, but decided to wait before I made a decision.
What Happened Next?
An hour later, after we had finished our lunch and shopping, I felt a strong urge to go back to PixyPros. I really didn’t want to head home without doing something fun since Build A Bear was a bust that day. So, I convinced GiGi and the girls that we should take some fun photos at PixyPros.
While Gigi sat in the food court watching our bags, I took Ayla and Noelle back to PixyPros. I paid the $20 fee and got started. Originally, we were only going to take photos on the swing set, but we were having so much fun that we decided to do more.
As we hopped from one vignette to the next, the more fun we had. The music and the fun backgrounds made it such an exciting place to be. Plus, Noelle and Ayla looked so cute in each setting. The clothes they wore that day just seemed perfect against each background. By the time we were finished, we had at least 60 or more shots to choose from.
Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a 10 minute activity turned into 35. GiGi was shocked that we were gone so long, but when she saw the pictures, she understood. She was so thrilled to have such nice photos of her adorable granddaughters that she forgave us for taking forever.
Final Thoughts
PixyPros is a fun place for adults and children alike. The combination of colorful settings and music make it a great experience for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, the pricing makes it an affordable activity for both individuals and groups as well. Therefore, I highly recommend PixyPros for your next entertaining activity.
