i.d.e.a. Museum

"I hadn’t been here in years and after going this past Friday I will definitely be there more often!! I took my 2 year old son and my 9 year old daughter, this place was awesome for both of them. My son played in the littles section for hours, and then we took my daughter over to the other section where she enjoyed making are and seeing the exhibits! I thought this place was going to be PACKED, which was very off putting to me… to my surprise, it was not, my son had enough room to run and play with everything! Absolutely loved it!"

"Fun spot for kiddos! Hands on activities, crafts, fun photo opportunities and the play kitchen was a huge hit for our 3yr old!"

"I visited the i.d.e.a. Museum with my boys on a Sunday, and they had a blast. We've been there three times. The playground area is designed for younger kids, but the interactive exhibit was genuinely nice and fun. We built so much stuff and had a lot of fun. As a parent, be ready to interact with your kids; it's not a place to drop them and focus on your phone. My biggest recommendation is to wait for them to change the exhibit and visit again. We went twice with the same exhibit, and the second time, my kids found it a bit boring. Also, as a tired dad, it would be awesome if they had a place to sell coffee."

"Very hands on experience museum nice split area based on aged and cool curated space / gallery for focused visit. Go early, summer groups make this small creative space too hectic to try and contain your little people or group. Really great space for art, animation, building, problem solving . If you home study and need a place to demonstrate or relate lessons consider this a resource"

"It was better than I expected seeing that it was a little smaller online. I liked the outside music making devices a lot. The inside is mostly mental activities. My daughter wanted to run and play on a playground, but it’s not really made for that. Lots of interesting crafts, artwork and educational interactive activities. The robot exhibit was really cool. My daughter just was too hyped to just look at stuff. The play area is designed for children 4 and younger. But my 5 year old went in there and enjoyed it. The play area is great for toddlers. The first thing that bummed me was not accepting the employee exchange admission program. We went to the Phoenix Children’s museum the day before and it kind of pales in comparison. Still a cool place to get the children’s brains going."
