Arizona Heritage Center

"A true hidden treasure. Perfect for anyone curious about the very interesting and complex history of Arizona. One of the better museums in the region it gives a full and in depth account of major times in Arizona history. Great treat for anyone who wants to know the region better."

"I have been to the Arizona Heritage Center on several occasions, all work related. In those instances, the facility is wonderful. It is very easy to navigate, and the courtyard and theater areas are excellent. What I have seen of the attractions looks intriguing. Now that this has prompted me to review the Center, I will make time to visit and report back as to the qualities of the rest of it."

"A beautiful and popular place for weddings and celebration events! The large outdoor courtyard with access to indoor spaces off each side features a large waterfall as a backdrop to the main event. Yes, it is an amazing museum, but it's more popular for its central location, desert landscaping, and multifunctional event space. The photos here were for the Kids in Focus annual fundraising event, with the Walt Richardson Band, strolling musicians, contortionist, acrobats, large dancing figures, a silent auction (photo after the prizes were claimed), and in the museum lobby were the newest photos by some of the kids, and 8 restaurants brought a delicious food item to share, a nice way to try some yummy dishes. Plan on attending this important event next November, and check out the many scheduled photo exhibits with each child photographer in attendance to sign your photo book and chat with you. Kids in Focus (KIF) is changing young lives! Be part of it!"

"Attending the Arizona Historymakers Recognition Program. The Historical League has honored outstanding Arizonans since 1992. The Honorees have made Arizona a better place. An awesome museum."

"Overall a nice experience, but the exhibits are quite dated. It’s very large on the inside and spread over two floors but I felt some of the exhibits could really be updated as you can tell they haven’t been for quite awhile. There was a very large focus on World War II as well. That’s great, but a lot of other museums cover that so I felt it was a bit redundant. I would’ve liked to have seen more about Native American and other parts of Arizona history. Or especially some more recent history within the last 30 years. It’s $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, but I felt that was a little bit high for what you get in return. I could easily see this being a free museum like the Tempe History Museum. At least it should be a donation type of system, $15 was a bit steep for what you get in return. There is plenty of parking out front so that part is very easy. I feel this is especially suited for elementary school kids versus the avid museum visitor."
