I'm not sure what happened to this place, but if you're planning on going just for the permanent exhibits I have only one word to describe it: Sad. Many of the stations are in a state of noticeable disrepair, and the majority of them are totally unchanged since I went as an elementary school student...in 1997. I understand that the permanent exhibits are mostly geared towards younger kids, but man, if you're an adult that wants a bit of stimulation, you should expect to drop about $50 per person to see the traveling exhibits, or even just the planetarium. It's honestly kind of a bummer seeing the AZ Science Center become such a cash grab for so little actual content, I suggest skipping it unless there's a specific traveling exhibit you want to see. As it is, it's really just an overpriced convention center.
