Boyce Thompson Arboretum is one of the best things to do in Arizona, and Dave and Kim visit during their holiday trip back in the United States. The video covers the arboretum and its ticket prices, plus a bonus stop for lobster rolls in Arizona for lunch.
An Arizona Day Trip
While spending the holidays in Arizona, Dave and Kim take a day to visit Boyce Thompson Arboretum, the state's best known botanical garden set against desert mountains. For travelers looking for things to do in Arizona beyond Phoenix, the arboretum is a classic pick, and the video shows why.
What the Visit Covers
The video walks the grounds and shares Boyce Thompson ticket prices, with a link to the arboretum's own site for details. Desert gardens surprise many first time visitors with their variety, and seeing the trails and collections on camera helps decide if it fits your trip.
Bonus: Lobster Rolls in Arizona
In a twist only this channel would deliver, the day ends with lobster rolls for lunch, in the Arizona desert rather than New England. It is a fun bonus segment for food loving viewers and a reminder that good finds turn up in unlikely places.
A Different Side of the Channel
Most Almost Retired in Thailand videos come from Thailand and Southeast Asia, so this Arizona episode is a glimpse of the family's life back in the United States. Long term expats will recognize the rhythm: home visits double as chances to revisit favorite local spots.
