I have taken my grandkids here many times. They love it and I enjoy it as well. Always something new.

The Tucson Children's museum is a science museum for children. Every second weekend, the entry fee is reduced. The fun part becomes interesting if the child is able to understand the science behind the play and that can happen only after they are into school. Good place to spend time with the kids.

My grandsons love going. The youngest ifs 4; he would go every day. Many fun activities, imagination, and building opportunities. I love that it is so obvious that every dime donated is put back into the Museum.

We took our 2 year old grandson here and had a very good time. Went in the morning just after opening and had most of the exhibits to ourselves. He would have stayed there all day but a few hours for grandparents was about enough.

My five-year-old and I spent a happy couple of hours exploring the museum. They had nicely conceived hands-on exhibits on energy, a restaurant, a veterinarian's office, etc. etc. It was a pleasant afternoon.

My daughters are 4 and 2, and we've been bringing them here since the oldest was 2. There are so many different things to see and do that each visit is a little different. They both love shopping for groceries, building things, the 4-and-under play area, and especially the ambulance/fire truck. My oldest loves drawing in the art area, and... More

We took our 2.5 year old to the Children's museum for the first time this year. Lucked out going during the week as it wasn't very busy and she almost had the place to herself (would recommend it if you have the option to do so). We loved the "hands-on" nature of this museum and enjoyed many of the stations... More

Unlike many museums dedicated to children this one encourages "hands on"; and as a result is very educational for all ages; and the cost is minimal. The electrical display/activity stands out for all ages as interesting and informative. Our grandaughter age 13 and ourselves had a very enjoyable few hours as we hope all who visit will. A great indoor... More

We spent about an hour and a half in the museum on a wet day. Most of exhibits were aimed at under 10s. Lots of exhibits had 'boo-boo' signs , not working! Not enough to keep a 12 and 7 year old interested for more than an hour. The cost for 2 adults and 2 kids ($28) was only slightly... More

I brought my 20, 17, 13, and 9 year old to look around while in Tucson visiting. There are not a lot of exhibits, but they were interesting. In my humble opinion, this museum is geared for the under 10 crowd. Even my 9 year old was a little bored with many of the attractions. Once you have been to... More
