Arizona Museum of Natural History

My 9 y.o. brother's favorite place, loves to see the dinosaurs . It's relatively small (compared to the American Museum of Nat. His. I grew up going to) but we spend at least 2 hrs there every time.

It's great for kids . Plenty of activities for the little ones. Also, it's bigger than it seems. Make sure to go through all the crooks & crannies. Groupon deal right now makes it totally worth it!

If you know someone who loves dinosaurs then this is the place for you. Admission is only 10 for adults and 6 for kids. It is well worth it. The gift shop is pricey so keep that in mind.

So fun for the kids! Lots of hands on things to do. Don’t forgot to check out the gold panning & make sure it ask for a little plastic baggy from the employees sitting out there.

Known as the Dinosaur museum ...this is a great hands-on experience for children. See life size dinos that move & roar with monsoon waters that flood past...then go outdoors to pan for gold. Read more

Great for kids , the robotic dinosaurs are neat - there is a simulated flood every 30 min, at 04 and 34 after the hour

Great museum ! Not too big to need multiple visits but big enough to spend 2-3 hrs.

The gift shop is actually full of a lot of cool books . Its not all super novelty Arizona key chains (though they ALSO sell keychains) Check it out.

Just the right size museum for kids and cool dinosaur display.

Make sure you pan for gold@the end! Fun for kids & adults.

Great place for kids. Look for the crafts room in the basement .

This captivating museum is worth a trip, especially if your kids are into dinosaurs (aren't they all?).

I might suggest not coming during school visits. That may mean coming later in the day.

Go to your local library and get a Culture Pass for free afmission!

great place for family

If you are tattooed wear long sleeves, etc. to avoid being followed around like a criminal.

Waste of time and $. If you have a 6 year old, they will love it, but for the average person above 12 years old will lose interest within 20 minutes . Asked for refund, security guard was very rude.

Love this place!

Flood on the mountain every half hour

Dinosaurs !
