Great family place, we have bought memberships here for years. Lots of things to do, classes to take and exhibits that come and go. Some of our favorites are the planetarium, IMAX theater and forces of nature room. Don't forget the very top room, ask to see the Madgascar hissing coach roaches. I love the gift shop down stairs for those really cool gifts you can't find anywhere else and the cafe is the best lunch deal in downtown Phoenix. They are offering some hipster deals for night out events and Halloween here is a blast.
Uberconsumer tips: check out the new Create Space and Maker's space on the side. Sign up for a camp or workshop off the web sight and don't forget to get your parking stub validated. Buy the family year pass and save. Look for the Groupon deals and save more.
