What isn't awesome about this place? My family and I went here on Mother's Day and had the best experience. The museum offers so much to explore from regions all over the world. The only thing that stopped us from staying 2 more hours (we were there for 3) was my impatient kindergarten son. He was not as impressed as I was-- though he did LOVE the Experience room.
Music is something we need to preserve in our culture and I can't think of a better way to do so than put it all in one building. Each of us had our favorite instrument, sound, and piece of history to take home with us in the end. And the Experience room is something our kids will never forget.
Don't leave without exploring the gift shop! It was just as cool as the museum and priced fairly. My kids each picked out a music box and they've never been more enthralled with a souvenir.
Bottom line: This is a MUST for anyone in Phoenix.
