From the complimentary daily Kids for All Seasons (KFAS) program and kid-friendly menus to dive-in movies and much more, there is never a dull moment at Four Seasons Scottsdale. Especially during the summer months, it is easy to spend an entire day poolside, which is made even easier when the staff makes the rounds to hand out cooling smoothie samples and ice pops. Like the casitas, the pool was also touched on during the 2018 refresh, welcoming new chairs, contemporary round daybeds and plush chaise lounges. The makeover also added updated furnishings in 18 poolside cabanas, which are the best retreat for families. In addition to shade, misting, privacy and comfy spots to savor some r-n-r, those who reserve a cabana are treated to ice-cold water bottles and a fresh fruit plate. Once lunch rolls around, parents will enjoy the tuna poke bowl and seabass tacos—with a spicy Mango Fuego cocktail on the side. The littlest guests can choose from a long lineup of filling and kid-friendly eats, like chicken, burgers, pizza, pasta and much more. Once the sun goes down, there is no reason to call it a day as Saturday night welcomes a dive-in, family-friendly flick—with popcorn and snow cones, to boot.

If parents crave a little kid-free time (perhaps to check out a Friday afternoon beer tasting at Proof or a Saturday Spanish wine sampling at Talavera, which are both complimentary), the Kids for All Seasons program is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and free to guests. Parents can drop off their kids for the entire day (lunch is $20) or for a short while, and the wee ones can play the day away building Legos, playing video games, taking to the ping pong or air hockey tables, enjoying board games or art projects with the wonderful KFAS staff, watch a movie in the decked-out theater and more. Everywhere you turn, there is something to see and do in the colorful, amenity-packed KFAS space. The rainbow-hued Lego wall and Star Wars-themed video game space are especially cool. Best of all, Mom and Dad can join their kids at KFAS and challenge them to a game of Candyland or ping pong. KFAS is available to children ages 5 and up, though parents can accompany children of all ages in the space.
