Phoenix things to do: July 9 – 11

FRIDAY

Try some homemade noodles @ China Magic Noodle House
Some things are worth the trek to Chandler. Noodles are one of them. I’ve been dying to try this new noodle spot ever since I saw a photo of a chef pulling noodles from a ball of dough. I want to try seafood with fried noodles, beef noodles with garlic sauce — and then some sort of soup.

Hours: 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday

Prowl and Play @ Phoenix Zoo
Visit the zoo when it’s (relatively) cooler …and cheaper. The train and kids’ rides will be open, and Radio Disney will be on-site with music and prizes…and then there are the animals.
