"Learning = can be boring\n\nMuseums = can be boring\n\nThe AZ Science Center = not boring, but fun fun fun!\n\nThough aimed at kids and tweens, this place is hella fun and I'm not a kid nor a tween, nor am I a parent of either.\n\nFrom the telescope where you can see your own eye looking into it, to the stomach/slide that you can go into so you can see how digestion works, this place is nothing but fun, and you learn as you have fun!\n\nNotable Exhibits that I saw:\n\n1) The Human Anatomy and Physiology exhibits. For those of you who don't speak science, that's the human body and how it works. Love the Brain/Neuro exhibit, explaining how the brain works. One of the exhibits shows how the brain gets addicted to something. One of them was a test to see if you're predisposed (I'm a potential gambling addict). Keep me away from casinos!\n\n2) The Immersion Theatre, where you get rained at, shook, blown and stuck inside a toaster oven, all to simulate how nature bombards the Earth with its raw strength of the elements. You will get wet! Dont' say I didn't warn you! Plays every 15 mins so make sure you time your trip to this awesome exhibit!\n\n3) The exhibits on the topmost floor discussing energy conservation and how alternative forms of energy, and how it trumps the traditional petroleum sources of energy. Very very cool.\n\n4) A video within a \"cockpit\" of a plane, explaining takeoff, flight and landing of a commercial airplane, with a real captain as a host! Very very cool!\n\nKid or no, this is an interesting place to go to. Nice place to learn stuff and have fun at the same time. I'm not a kid anymore, but I found this place entertaining. It was a lot better than those other places I've been to in my travels. Go go go!\n\nOnly complaint: Some of the exhibits are broken. Due to the interactive nature of a lot of the exhibits, plus the presence of kids, this is bound to happen. You'd think the museum people would fix them. Oh well.\n\nDid you know?: ASU students, minors and seniors get discounts to be admitted. Try and remember that as you go in."^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ .
