Arizona Science Center
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
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.
Budgettips
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.
Aanbevolen voor

Over
Korte feiten: Meer dan 300 interactieve exhibits laten bezoekers raketten lanceren, aardbevingen simuleren en een koeienoog ontleden. Het 200 voet hoge theaterscherm is een van de grootste in het zuidwesten en omhult je perifere zicht volledig.
Hoogtepunten: De CREATE at Makerspace-studio laat je echte circuits solderen en echte lasersnijders bedienen, niet alleen demo's achter glas bekijken. Boven herbergt de All About Me-galerij een reusachtige pratende neus van 30 voet waar je doorheen loopt, compleet met geluidseffecten van ademhaling en niezen.
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.
