Not all science centers are the same! This one is incredible with how many exhibits and hands-on activities it has. There are 3 parking garages around the science center. Families with small children will have so much fun, but so will tweens and teens! This is a 4 level science center with an option of using an elevator or stairs. Each level has a restroom and water station. There is a live demonstration on Level 2, which was super informative! Adult ticket prices are $15 after 1 pm for a limited time (the website didn't specify when this would expire so call ahead). Highly recommended!
I had an awesome time at the science center. So many cool things to see and do! Loved the interactive exhibits and the planetarium show was mind-blowing. Great for all ages. Definitely worth a visit!
What an amazing experience. Very educational. The staff are so kind, welcoming, and friendly. Security was so nice opened the door for all visitors entering. Just Amazing!

$20 for non-members.
The science museum is part of Heritage Park (among other buildings such as Phoenix Museum of History).

The Establishment offers a wide variety of science activities for children and adults- the function of electricity, the biology of the human body, music & sound, and a gift shop! Cleanest bathrooms as well I have seen so great job staff
About 1/3 of the interactive stops/activities weren't working so that was a bummer. Museum definitely needs an upgrade.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Fun experience fit everyone!
I work for an organization with DDD adults with behavioral issues and disabilities in group homes. We have a learning program and wanted to take a field trip to the planetarium. We were there and at the door of the planetarium with most of our group and were told we could not go in because it had already started. It was a safety hazard. This was our whole purpose of being there. Then they pushed us off to some exhibit and a Jane Goodell documentary, which of whom my clients knew nothing about. I feel we wasted 300 dollars and did not receive anything we set out for. The personnel are very rigid and unprofessional and unforgiving to the point where my clients felt they were doing something wrong. I wanted to come back for other sections of our learning program and possibly bring their van packages to our buildings, but after today's session, we, meaning i, just might never deal with them again.

This review hurts to write because I want the science center to be enjoyed by others and receive more funding however I cannot recommend paying to visit currently. The exhibits were not well maintained, the amount of stuff to do was very lacking and it just was not an entertaining time sadly. I would love to see more funding to make this place awesome and fun to visit but it is very far from that currently. I would look at the childrens museum for younger kids and for older kids maybe the Legoland discovery center.

Wonderful place. The exhibits are fun and entertaining. Spent about 3 hours here and it was great! The Expedition: Solar System Planetarium thing was fun! It can get cold in there tho. There's a fun bubble exhibit thing (outdoor) and it looked fun (we didn't go) coz the kids (other Ppl's) looked like they were having a blast. A lot of interactive exhibits and even a love show/experiment/showcase. Definitely entertaining for both kids and adults. The bike thing was closed so we didn't get to try.

This place is incredible! 👍 Every exhibit seems to be interactive and challenges the kids to think while still having fun and laughing and playing. 😋 Every parent should take their kids here. 😉 There's actually not enough time in a day to see and interact with every science exhibit. 😊
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 😁🤙
