i am a huge museum, history, local culture places.
but i've never been able to justify the cost of going to the heard.
as i get older i realize that some costs simply have to occur.
so we bought family membership there and spent a very pleasant 3 hours seeing 1/2 of it.
1. do all the tours if you can stand ok.
2. look for other activities, we watched hoop dancing.
3. plan on about 8 hours to see it all.
4. i have bad knees, bring my own stool, but there was plenty of sitting places.
i would have liked to learned more about the religious aspects of the katsinas.
scheduling another weekend in phoenix, watching the heard activities to catch something special, then see the scottsdale branch.
some costs are unavoidable, just do it.
