There's so much to do in the land of cacti and cowboys, you'll never get bored in Phoenix. Wander through a noodle forest at the Children's Museum of Phoenix, ride a camel at the Phoenix Zoo, and launch off into space at the Challenger Space Center.
Delve into a world of imagination at the Children's Museum of Phoenix. Get crafty at the Art Studio, curl up with a good story in the Book Loft, or build a castle or a spaceship with blocks of all different colors, shapes, and sizes. Experience an indoor desert as you walk down the hallway decorated with art inspired by Phoenix's arid climate. Then let the kids have a tricycle race or venture through a forest of colorful swimming noodles. A designated area for infants and toddlers ensures they can play and imagine in a safe space. Special events like art projects, seed planting, and science workshops encourage kids to interact with the world around them.
Visit the entertaining animals at the Phoenix Zoo. Experience monkeys climbing all around you at the open Monkey Village exhibit, pet farm animals at the barn, or ride a camel. Children can touch a sting ray and feed them shrimp or get to know a friendly giraffe. Learn about species native to Arizona, and then travel around the globe to visit your favorite fuzzy, furry, and feathered friends from Africa and the tropics. Programs and camps for everyone from toddlers to teens encourage kids to learn about nature and animals.
Blast off into space at the Challenger Space Center. Become an astronaut for the day on a simulated space mission and introduce the little ones to science through hands-on activities and stories at Space-Tots. Then sit back and listen to folklore as you stargaze with the whole family. Glimpse what is beyond our own planet by observing a real meteorite and see your children marvel at models of space shuttles and satellites.
