What travelers are saying
- Wendi A1 contributionThe story and presentation are captivating. Our kids remember the stories of Jesus because they have seen them acted out as if live. The music is POWERFUL! Sooo gorgeous and artistic. I was brought to tears several times. The set is spectacular! It's a very high-class performance, completely free to the public! Almost a 500 member cast. It's an awesome Easter tradition. You can get pizza and eat there while the sun sets behind you and you are listening to the pre-show mood music. A LOT of the cast comes out to greet the audience before the show. It's such a fun experience leading up to the actual pageant, which has kids, dancers, animals, water, lighting, projector theatrics...It is super cool. A great feeling of community.Written April 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Steam SapperDorset, UK7 contributionsIf you have any interest in history, amazing personal stories, aircraft or respect for the past, this museum is a must do. It’s intimate, the exhibits are very accessible and the background stories are fascinating.
Good for all ages; kids to get up close to some amazing aircraft and materials, whilst mum & dad will can choose how much they will read.
This was my second visit, the last 7 years ago. The feeling of friendliness of the associates remain fantastic, all of them having time for a chat. I was especially lucky to spend time with the Director who was not only passionate about what they do, but also a really nice guy.
Please visit and support this voluntary and very professional ‘living history’ legacy.Written July 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Don’t just go for the pizza because you will be disappointed. The pizza was just okay. Be ready to search for a place to sit to eat and enjoy the entertainment. We looked for a good 15-20 minutes before we found a place for 3 of us to sit. To me this was a crazy setup. People sat for a long time after eating just to listen to the organ. Recommend this place, but plan to spend time just looking for a place to sit.Written March 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris S3 contributionsI was with my 6 yr old granddaughter. She loved this place. The exhibits were wonderful and very lifelike. A lot of interactive activities for kids. Her favorite was panning for gold!!Written November 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Colleen1978Mazomanie, WI148 contributionsA Must Do Once! We spent several hours, walked the entire Market, bought a few things. We enjoyed the day but will be a while before doing that again.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JuroraPeterborough, Canada603 contributionsWe came here as we were touring around Tortilla Flat and the Mesa area and we wanted to get out of the car for a bit of a walk. We asked at the Visitor Centre, if we could just do a 20 min. walk of one small trail, instead of paying for longer, which was okay with the fellow. After walking thru a lovely trail, we liked it so came back in, and decided to pay, to do a different trail, which was longer. Being my hubby's first trip to the desert, he really enjoyed seeing all the cactus varieties and bushes. At one point, I said we should turn around to go back, so we did, and shortly after, we heard a coyote do their howl, kind of close by, so not knowing what to, or how many to expect, we started running back, and kept running as we kept hearing yipping sounds. We didn't know if one or more were following. It was scary for us, as we didn't know if there was a pack of them, or a parent wanting to protect young ones! We finally got far enough back to the Centre, and out of breath, we walked back. Much later-on, we figured it was a parent coyote doing a warning howl to their yipping babies. We did enjoy the first part of our desert adventure! We would do it again, and we did it while rattlesnakes were still in hibernation!Written April 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John BMesa, AZ38 contributionsWent as a family to the Savannah Bananas game last night, second time catching a game at Sloan Park. Comfortable seats, liked the room with cupholders easily accessible. Lots of seating under the awning in the shade. Great venue!Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael T13 contributionsBeautiful Arts and Celebration of a culture. Beware of fake and frauds. Look for REAL original artists of that culture. I know one that is there every year that is not that culture and cares nothing for it. Buy Local.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PecasTucson, AZ29 contributionsSuper cute place! Great atmosphere and entertainment.
Great deal for a dinner show!
Staff are super friendly! And they all make the evening fun and special.
The Elvis show was awesome! Very professional. Great singers!
We had 2 blackouts because of the storm, but the staff went above and beyond. Make sure we were well taken care of, and we'll entertained! Our young adult kids said the show was cute. That's a big compliment coming from them! Definitely older crowd but they had fun and my feet just wanted to get up and dance!
So glad we went up thereWritten April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - DowntonAbbyGrlVisalia, CA14 contributionsVisited the first week in April 2023. We purchased the online package (waterpark, unlimited mini golf, bumper boats, race cars and laser tag). We knew that only part of the waterpark would be open--it is clearly stated on the website.
Waterpark- There was little to no lines. The slides, water and park were very clean. Staff was friendly. The water was chilly but it was sunny so it was ideal for us.
Mini Golf-Very clean and well organized. We played 2 courses and had a great time.
Arcade-All machines were working.
Bumper Boats-Were not working when we first arrived, but they were open a few hours later.
Food-Took a little bit of time (15 mins) for a funnel cake, but all other items came out in a timely manner. Typical amusement park food (pizza, chicken strips, fries, etc). Reasonably priced.Written April 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - MelvinPusfingerTemecula, CA693 contributionsWe were in Scottsdale in mid August when the temperature was hovering around 110°.
This turned out to be a great place for kids. There is an elaborate splash pad, which is very impressive.
The playground equipment is also very extensive and impressive. There is a zip line, a multi person swing, and elaborate, climbing apparatus.
This place is perfect for a very hot day.
There is plenty of free parking.
There are also many shaded places to sit, for a picnic or simply to chill out.
There are a number of aquatic parks in Scottsdale and Phoenix areas. But tickets can cost as much as $50 per adult and $40 per child, or more. And the reviews on those aquatic parks are decidedly mixed.
This place is absolutely free and kids can have a great time here, especially in the splash pad.
Overall, an excellent public playground.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great activity section to color and draw, however wish there was a little more to do outside in the courtyard. Simple and easy to get around. For a 5 year old seemed like a nice museum.Written June 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
