If you have children between the ages of 2 and 8ish (I don't know, mine are still under 5), this is a must see in Phoenix. So much crazy, inventive fun in this place. Parking is decent, too, for being downtown. Plan to spend at least 2 hours. My son is always asking to go back to "the noodle place... More

Grand daughter loves this place and had a ball. It was interesting for adults as well because you could do some interaction with your child. More

We went to the Children's Museum for a field trip. The facility would be fun for a family outing, but it was not organized well for field trips. Many of the exhibits have multiple entrances/exits, which makes it very difficult to keep track of 5 children who are all going in different directions. At the noodle forest, all 5 children... More

The interactive exhibits aren't just fun for the kids. The adults probably enjoyed them more More

This museum is beyond amazing. It's a required stop each year when our grandkids (now 8,6,2) visit. Something for all interests. This is a very special place! More

There are pros and cons of this museum. The main ones for me were that there wasn't many exhibits, though it was still fun. If you're looking for an interesting short time out with your children, then you'll enjoy it. More

If you have kids below 5 this place is a must. My kids played for three hours and could have stayed for more. If we were residents of phx we definitely would have purchased a membership. Adults needing to pay admission is a joke but other then that this place is awesome. More

I have two boys ages 4 and 5, and a 22 month old girl. I bring them to this museum at least twice a month. We absolutely love going to play here and have never gotten bored. There is so much to do here, that we can never do everything in one visit. Their favorite room is the baby room... More

I have brought my class for young kids with special needs here for the last 2 years. Everywhere you turn there is another thing for the kids to try. As long as you supervise them, the kids can do everything independently. They can ride bikes, build forts, paint, color, play in the "supermarket", run through the noodle forest, and climb... More

I have visited here with my wife & kids several times. The museum has hands-on exhibits for all ages & interests. Probably the best endorsement is that we all want to go back. This place is as good as any other children's museum we have visited, and better than most. Highly recommended. More
