Amazon, Japanese Garden, Lunch & Candy

Day Excursion

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Amazon? Let’s find out! Step inside the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Goodyear to learn how technology and people work together to get your packages delivered. Watch robots in action as they transport items to employees and see the complex conveyor belt system used in the fulfillment process. The 45 – 60-minute walking tour requires flat, closed-toe and closed-heel shoes (sneakers are recommended).
From modern technology to timeless tranquility, head to the historic and cultural Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix. This serene garden is nestled on 3.5 acres in downtown Phoenix, and features a tranquil stroll garden with koi ponds, waterfalls, streams and more than 50 varieties of plants, including a 650-year-old Sierra juniper bonsai.
It’s time for lunch, so settle in for a hearty 3-course meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Located in the historic Roosevelt Neighborhood of Phoenix, the family owned and operated Old Spaghetti Factory has been serving delicious meals since 1969. Start you lunch with a salad, then enjoy your choice of entrée.
Finish off with a scoop of Old Spaghetti Factory’s Signature Spumoni Ice Cream for dessert!
Don’t fill up too much on that ice cream though, because after lunch, it’s off to Cerreta Candy Factory in Glendale for a tour and tasting. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the family-owned company. See the large copper kettles used for caramel and the old school machinery used to create some of their candies. Witness how taffy, chocolate and caramel are made, and sample some of these tasty treats!
