The Firefighting museum near KPHX is pretty nifty. "Hall of Flame" I believe it's called. And there's a town a way north of PHX that has a cowboy museum. Neat artwork. I can't recall the name of, right now.
Wife and I flew into KGEU though, other side of town. Family lives in Sun City.

KDVT (Deer Valley) is wicked busy on the north side of town... keep an eye out around there for massive amounts of student activity. There's a number of flight schools catering to Chinese students there.
That's true all over PHX, but DVT is the epicenter of the activity by far. Number 8 to land is common there, I hear. And the pattern is full of folks struggling with English... it can be hair-raising.
I transitioned their airspace well above pattern altitude VFR talking to them, on the way out of PHX, and wish I'd just have gone around it... and I don't mind talkin' on the radio to anyone... Vegas, Los Angeles, whatever's busy... but those didn't even come close to comparison to the frequency congestion overflying KDVT on the way out of PHX on a weekday morning.
Generally the PHX Class B was good to work with, but coming from the north I was talking to Center from clear back over Colorado and New Mexico doing Flight Following, and as we got in closer to PHX, over the ridgelines to the north, they wanted us lower ASAP on the way in.
They had an IFR C-210 3000' above us in the clouds that had slowly crept up on us from behind, same route, all the way down, basically matching our speed in the descent -- or close enough to it that the controller was having difficulty figuring out how to get him down for his approach to some airport on the north side, while letting us scoot past him over the KDVT area over to KGEU.
Once he got a lower altitude that got him out of the clouds overhead, my "traffic in sight" call helped the nice controller out immensely, of course...
Hope you enjoy your trip down there. If you're from anywhere cold, you'll get a kick out of them wearing parkas and looking like they're freezing to death when it gets below 70F. I've sat outside and had dinner at the outdoor mexican food places with margarita in-hand on 60F nights there (they crank up those giant propane heaters! Ha!) in shirt-sleeved comfort, while giggling at the locals hiding under the heat lamps and looking like skiiers in the Rockies huddled for warmth!
