The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is one of the top three children’s museums in the nation. It is a wondrous place of imagination, inspiration, creativity and just plain fun for children ages birth to 10. With over 48,000 square feet of space, this is not a typical museum—guests are encouraged to touch everything. The museum offers plenty of sensory things to touch and feel and has enough activities for children to stay busy for hours. Exhibits include outdoor activities, an art making and rocket painting room where imagination is endless, and various different parts for different ages. There are enough bathrooms and complimentary hand sanitizer on each floor, along with stairs and elevator options inside. Many visitors recommend a membership, noting Members Only Nights as a quieter time. The staff is friendly and activities are updated frequently. Some visitors note it is a bit pricey and have mentioned concerns about outdoor water use and the accessibility of certain garden and café entrances. Overall, it is highly recommended for anyone looking for something different than the usual park or movie day out.
