| - So I took my son and grandson to the Children's Museum of Phoenix for a Saturday outing. Albeit it was a drive away from home, in the end it was worth all the smiles, laughs and fun that we had.
This was well worth the money paid to enter. Upon entering I first noticed the wall of CDs, WOW. Bright and beautiful for the eye. My grandson immediately noticed the apparatus on the wall where he could put in a simple piece of fabric, it would be sucked through a maze of pipes then spit out. Had I let him he would have spent his entire day playing in that one spot. We had to coach him to play on the three level play area, once in there and experiencing all the fun to be had he did not want to come down and explore the rest of the museum. Eventually we did. There was lots of interactive play areas to be explored, lots of learning to be had by all.
We venture up to the next floor being able to experience different aspects of arts, crafts and such. We played music on plastic pipes by hitting them with a flip flop. The little one rode his tricycle through the car wash and was able to maneuver the roadway. We even went shopping in the fully set up store. It was great to see the kids interact and mimic the adults they have been to stores with. We recycled and we even had pretend lunch at the restaurant. There is an actual cafe on the second floor. They offer healthy food choices at a price. There is also an area off of the café where you can sit and relax. You're even allowed to bring along your own snacks to devour.
My grandson especially enjoyed the activities where he was able to do hands on. He helped in painting the rocket ship. LOL, oh so fun to watch little ones. He drew pictures as well. We also enjoyed the noodle room. He and I were in and out hiding from one another. This being on the third floor. Here is where I found the soft sofa to sit upon and relax while my son and grandson went to enjoy the play area again.
At 11 dollars a head to get in who can resist? The money goes back to the museum, all have fun while learning and it gives the little ones the opportunity to expend pent up energy. The gift shop is a bit on the pricey side, but what gift shop isn't? We did spend some money buying goodies not only for my grandson, but his little friend as well.
A good time was had by all. The time, 4 hours, went by before we knew it. Of note it is a clean and maintained place, considering all the little ones that are there on a daily basis.
