My review of: Arizona Science Center

My children would live here if they could. There is discount parking in the garage as long as you remember to get your parking pass validated inside. Getting a membership here is well worth the price. Entry is quicker. I've seen the insane line of people waiting to get in. So come as early as you can. It will take all day to discover all the fun in these 4 stories. Yes, there are elevator but sometimes that is a long wait as well.

There is a cafe & gift shop. In the corner between them is the entrance to the lunch room for those who want to pack in their lunch.

A new exhibit that has a paper airplane launcher is a big hit for my older children. A Water works exhibit lets children see water's effects on gears, ball, water pressure and music. Prepare for your children to get very wet as they put pipes together to guide water along paths of their own devising.

Find out what goes into making a house, how your body works, how electricity works, how rocks are formed, experience "Forces of Nature", and alternate clean energy.
