Wow, this place has it all. It is so big that you really need two days to go through it all. They have so many exhibits, my favorite is the science area. They explore everything from addictions and personality traits to how the human body works. It is great for adults and kids alike.

The Arizona Sciene Center is really an Amazing FUN place to spend the day. However if you have the money to spend. The total amount you will spend the whole day you are there (and seeing the whole museum will take all day) will add up and make this a pricey day out. Almost everything you do in the center is free...almost. Once in the musuem you simply can not miss the planetarium presentation, oh yeah and that's an extra admission cost, but it's a presentation that you need to at least experience once, the kids will not only love it but wil llearn alot! There is a small eatery with a taco bell/pizza hut where you can order lunch, but becareful as prices are kinda steep for a burrito in the center compared to a burrito outside the center. There are hundreds of hand on exhibits for the kis to touch, run around, feel, and smell. they will have a blast so be prepared to stay all day! Not only will your kids learn but you will also, lesson learned? Bring more money.

Really fun place to take the kids, special exhibits for children all for themselves, but also lots of things that interest adults as well. I love going there. Its also close to the Ball Park and the downtown office buildings so it is great to go after a game for a drink or after work to eat or see a movie. Its in a great location.

No matter what the age of your children, there is something for everyone to see and do at the Arizona Science Center. They have great displays and hands-on activities that allow each child to explore and get involved with the task. Each different section turns into a teachable moment for parents and caregivers and allows the children to learn hands-on about why things may work the way they do. It is great for adults too, they are sure not going to be bored!

My husband and I went to the Ariozona Science Center, expecting the entire place to be children-oriented. Boy-were we wrong! We had a blast! We were able to touch and try so many things, and really left the place feeling that we learned something. I would definately recommend seeing the Imax show that they are featuring. It's an amazing experience!

The science center is well organized and has many great exhibits. We used to have a membership because they had "Adult Night" one night a month. They bring in special speakers that give a talk and answer questions. All of the talks that I have seen there have been excellent. Also, after the talk, the science center is available for you to walk around and tour. It's typically not very crowded either.

The Science Center is a great place to take your kids because you’ll be amused, too! They have a great planetarium and some very interesting exhibits. They have a nice cafeteria and if you can find a coupon, the prices aren’t that bad. This is a great learning tool for kids and adults alike.

What a great musuem that the kids can go to that they can be hands on and touch the exhibits. My kids love being able to touch the three hundred different exhibits. What fun to not have to tell the kids not to touch. Right now they have a sesame street exhibit that is spectacular. Who doesn't love Elmo? Parking is easy with a convient parking garage nearby. Price is pretty reasonable since you spend most of the day there. The price does add up when you add the special exhibits.

The Arizona Science Center is in downtown phoenix. It is a museum/activity center for kids. They have a lot of interesting exhibits, however, I thought the science center was showing it's age. Quite a few of the hands-on exhibits were not working when I visited with my kids. Also all the ants were dead in the ant farm, try explaining that to your children. At the time I was there - it was the special exhibit: Dragon Bones. That is definitely worth going to. The new exhibit is Sesame Street helping children learn about their bodies. I would consider going for the special exhibits, however, I wouldn't really recommend it for an out of towner. It's just good for an afternoon out of the heat. They did have a toddler playground that my children loved.
