This place is great! Lots of things to see and learn about for kids and adults. The dinosaur mountain is my son's favorite thing to see and he requests that we come back at least once a week. We bought the membership and it's worth every penny!
A fantastic museum for the whole family, especially for the kids! Nice and big, with plenty of things to see and do. From massive completed dinosaur skeletons, to flash floods, territorial jails, the lost Dutchman mine, to panning for gold. It's hours worth of fun & knowledge for everyone. Prices are very reasonable, worth the visit every time!
An excellent place to learn about the history of south-western region of USA as well as many pre-historic stuffs. You can spend the whole day here and you won't get bored. It's a fun place for kids too. It's entertaining and knowledge enriching.
You have to come here. Air conditioned dino fun. Robotic dinosaurs that move and roar, tunnels, haunted jail, elevators, special exhibit rooms a theater that plays non stop dinosaur adventures. This place is great! You can find several bathrooms on each level of this 3 story adventure land.
So I used to volunteer here and let me tell you it was so fun! I think it's great for all ages although I do think it's more suited towards kids. It's priced really well and it's great if you want to take photos with your friends!
We had the opportunity to check out the Natural History Museum during a peak time to go and it didn't feel too crowded at all. The museum is very spacious and there is something for all ages. We brought my 2.5 year old and its a great age for him to see dinosaurs, understand parts of history and participate in the children's activities. We will definitely be returning.
Great museum. Daughter loves it. Have visited several times. Dinosaur tracks lead to it all throughout down town Mesa around it. Makes it into a tacking expedition just getting there. Dinosaurs made of scrap car parts. Good panning inside
Don't let the small building fool you. The museum has more exhibits than those twice it's size. The interactive exhibits for kids is perfect from the panning for gold and digging for dinosaur bones to putting together various levels or pottery and maps of South America. Fun for all ages. Be sure to watch the flash flood.
A fun, interactive natural history museum, particularly fun for children. Yes, it's small and the mornings can be quite crowded with school groups, but they have great exhibits with knowledgeable folks around. Go in the afternoon and you will miss the crowds. My 3 yr old lil girl LOVES this place and we go weekly. If you or your little one like dinosaurs or geology, you will enjoy your time here.
Went to the even "Beer & Bones". Excellent experience. Many different local brewerys offering their beer and beer tasting. Upgraded tickets $40 option. Got beer passport with 6 beer samples, one beer ticket for a glass and one food item ticket for pizza salads and other foods. Came with a beer and bones glass as well. Great time !
This place is the greatest! Love the museum and the store! They do a Beer and Bones fundraiser every year that is fantastic!
I grew up going here in the 80's and loved it. Taking my children is a treat. The dinosaurs and fossils are awesome! Great museum for kids. About the only things left from the 80's era is the jail and the old safe they encouraged people to try and open.
Excellent museum. There is a lot of interactive and hands on stuff for kids and some great displays.
You can easily spend 2-4 hours going through depending how involved you get with each station.
My boys and their friends love this place. There is something around every corner and very educational. The dinosaur bone replicas are so great. Would definitely come back!
