And you’ll want to pet them when you meet them. And snap a photo.
To make doing so even more fun, now through Christmas Eve PHX is making sure that can happen.
The airport is hosting a Holiday Petting Zone where travelers can stop by, pet a Navigator Buddy and take their photo with a pup in front of a holiday backdrop. The message: Happy Paw-lidays from PHX.
The Holiday Petting Zone is located in Terminal 4, pre-security near the Information Counter by the A Security Checkpoint.
Here is another installment of our new “5 Things We Love About…” series celebrating some of the services, amenities and features we love about airports around the world.
We’re keeping our list to just 5 cool things about each airport, but feel free to add any bonus features we overlooked in the comments section below.
Feel free, too, to nominate an airport for the series or sponsor an installment.
The collection includes nearly 900 artworks, 35 exhibition spaces in six buildings and the Phoenix Aviation Archive.
Look for the art in both terminals and at the Rental Car Center. There’s also a treat at the 44th Street PHX Sky Train Station, which is home to a restored vintage World War I aircraft, the SPAD XIII.
2. The PHX Navigator Buddies
PHX is one of a growing list of airports where teams of therapy dogs and their handlers regularly visit the terminals to hang out with travelers and help de-stress the journey. Here they’re called the PHX Navigator Buddies.
3. The Fitness Trail at PHX
The Sky Harbor Fitness Trail at PHX is located post-security in Terminal 4 and is measured out to just a little over one mile from Gate A30 to Gate D8.
The trail is part of FitPHX, a city of Phoenix initiative intended to help get Phoenix residents into better shape. In addition to getting some exercise, travelers who walk the trail are rewarded with views of the downtown Phoenix skyline, beautiful Camelback Mountain and more.
4. Animal relief areas at PHX
PHX goes all out with the pet relief areas for pups and has seven pre and post-security cute-as-a-puppy places where dogs can take care of business. There are even animal relief areas at the PHX Sky Train stations.
5. The souvenirs at PHX Airport
We’ve found some charming – and quirky – souvenirs in the shops at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Here are just a few of our favorites.
5 Things We Love About Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is part of an ongoing series here at StuckatTheAirport.com.
