Fun in Arizona’s Playground: Lake Havasu

Good times in and around Lake Havasu City

Fun is always in season in Lake Havasu City: Arizona's premier outdoor adventure destination.

Adult-friendly, kid-friendly and even pet-friendly, Lake Havasu City makes fun vacations easy and affordable. With more than 300 days of sunny skies year-round, you can always find the right mix of attractions, dining, events, relaxation and non-stop action on land, air and water.

Under the London Bridge

The arches under the world-famous London Bridge are a venue for live performances and special events; a grand passageway for boaters, anglers and watersports fans; and a popular subject for photographers, filmmakers, writers, artists and history buffs. With Cruisin’ Tikis Havasu, drink a cold one and float your cares away on a tiki bar as it cruises leisurely under the bridge on the Bridgewater Channel. Think of it as Margaritaville passing through 2,000 years of human history.

Other ways to lap up relaxation in the Bridgewater Channel’s no wake-zone include personal boats and watercraft, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and cabana boat rentals (complete with grills, coolers and leather sofas). And don’t miss the resort wear, snacks, souvenirs and other fun items you’ll find at the charming waterfront shops in the area.

After you’ve snapped a selfie of you standing in front of the world’s most expensive souvenir (yes, that’s actually a thing), learn more about its fascinating story from an expert guide on the London Bridge Historic Walking Tour. Get a preview of all the Instagram-worthy moments on our London Bridge Virtual Tour website.

Fun for the entire family

Moms across the country voted Lake Havasu as one of the Top 10 Mom-Approved Places to Fish and Boat in the U.S. The youngest ones will find their bliss toddling around the sandy beaches with a bucket and shovel in hand. Tweens and older will get a kick out of paddle sports including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing. In Arizona, children 12 years of age and older can operate a personal watercraft (PWC, also known as a JetSki, Sea-Doo or WaveRunner). And kids of all ages revel in the thrill of tubing, wakeboarding and waterskiing.
