    Terrific place to visit while visiting AZ. We had a lot of fun; my husband & I when we were there in Sept 2012. It's perfect for Kids of All of Ages. LOL! NOTE: They also do AAA/Sr & Mlty Discs

    Has the amazing Imax theater!!! Has the all about me exhibit where you can see what goes in ones body at a large scale view. Plus they are kid friendly and sometimes have featured exhibits for them.

    This is a really fun, family friendly spot easy to get to via light rail. Check out the rotating/seasonal exhibit and plan to stay a while as there is lots to do.

    I was there for a specific exhibit which was really good otherwise way to many kids running around everywhere else. I'm not sure parents were even supervising their kids!

    This place is still a blast even for adults, but its even more fun when you go with kids that are eager to learn. The planetarium is always an absolute must, and the Digital World gallery is amazing.

    Excellent place to escape from the sun for a few hours, especially if you have children. I recommend checking their website for the most current exhibits.

    This place is great for kids of all ages. The current mummy exhibit might be a bit much for younger kids but there is plenty of mental stimulation to be had. Public Transportation = Light Rail too

    What more can you say, great place to learn for adults and kids. Hands on exhibits, you can't beat that, along with the films and feature exhibits this is a most do.

    Don't miss the planetarium. Definitely the best place in Phoenix to learn about our universe, the Milky Way, constellations and the rest of outer space!

    Loved going here ever since I was a child. If you go during the summer, prepare to be surrounded by hundreds of children on field trips.

    The place to go if you want to get a taste of technology and past history bundled into one. It's not your ordinary museum this museum's exhibitions come to life with the aid of modern day technology.

    After finishing classes, always fun to visit the Science Center to attend their many exhibits or also visit their amazing visual planetarium. Always fun to play with their mini game section too.

    Great day activity. Body Worlds is currently taking place and I suggest checking it out, it will blow your mind! Tickets are only $20 for students so it's fairly cheap for a day full of entertainment!

    I dig the fact that I am never too old to enjoy the Science Center with my kids. Looking forward to the week of snow. Especially because it doesn't require any shoveling on my part.

    This is literaly one of my favorite places. Can be a little pricey but if your a student it helps. Go see body wold while its still around- you will not be disappointed

    A relatively new Phoenix attraction, the Arizona Science Center is located in the downtown area. There over 300 hands-on permanent exhibits, as well as special changing exhibitions.

    Don't miss the 4th floor! You can only get there on the elevator. It's a long hallway that you always have enough time for.

    Liked getting in for free, $3 is too much for a bottle of Coke. Plenty to do and learn for everyone!

    Easily accessible from the Lightrail station, this museum features some of the best education exhibits in Arizona. It has hosted "Body Worlds" multiple times among other equally fascinating subjects.

    Went on a FREE day; it was complete madness. The 'Forces of Nature' exhibit is a quick and fun interactive exhibit.

    If the kids get too wet out in the atrium, check out the store for some $12.99 tshirts.

    The Science Center has not participated in the First Friday event in over two years. In fact they do not offer free admission to 18+ on any Friday.

    I go to science museums everywhere and this is too busy for my tastes; too much hands on activities. They need a better balance. Overall the exhibits are good though.
