Horseback riding tours
Hot air balloon rides



Shopping:
Scottsdale Fashion Square
The Quarter
Kierland Commons

Hiking:

Camelback already mentioned...however...I personally am not a fan. It is always an absolute nightmare to park there and always packed with people. And I hate scrambling up and down all the boulders on this trail.

Squaw Peak is better imo
Tom's Thumb trail
Gateway Loop
South Mountain(Mormon trail to National Trail to Hidden Valley)...access trailhead at 24th street


Also...if you are staying long enough you should go up north for the day and check out Sedona or Flagstaff or Grand Canyon(GC is a 4 hour drive each way...so would be a long day). Worth the drive.
