Beste tid å besøke

Weekday mornings right when doors open at 10:30 AM are the quietest, especially September through November. Summer afternoons draw bigger crowds but the air-conditioned galleries offer a cool refuge from Phoenix heat.

Budsjettips

General admission runs about $20 for adults and $15 for kids, with free entry for members and on the first Friday of each month from 5-9 PM. Save by booking online in advance and consider the Phoenix CityPass if you plan to visit multiple attractions.

Anbefalt for

Families with school-aged kids, Science enthusiasts, Rainy day explorers

Om

Raske fakta: Mer enn 300 praktiske utstillinger lar besøkende sende opp raketter, simulere jordskjelv og dissekere et kuøye. Den 60 meter høye teaterskjermen er en av de største i sørvest og omslutter synsfeltet ditt fullstendig.

Høydepunkter: CREATE at Makerspace-studioet lar deg lodde ekte kretser og betjene ekte laserskjærere, ikke bare se på demoshow bak glass. I etasjen over har All About Me-galleriet en 9 meter høy snakkende kjempenese du kan gå gjennom, komplett med lydeffekter av pusting og nysing.

Insidertips

Skip the crowded main entrance and head straight to the third floor where the Forces of Nature gallery is often nearly empty before noon.
Wear closed-toe shoes if you plan to use the Makerspace, as they require them for the laser cutter and soldering stations.
The best photo spot is from the third-floor balcony overlooking the main atrium during the daily 1 PM paper airplane drop.
Bring a jacket, the giant screen theater gets genuinely cold even in summer.
