  We have been attending the IDEA Museum for well over five years when it was still the Arizona Museum for Youth (AMY). The kids never get enough time building, making puppet shows, dressing up, making music, and pretending in Artville. The rotating exhibits are interesting and carefully chosen. The black light room is awesome! As far as learning value, my children love exploring all there is to do. And I'm generally amazed at the creative work that goes into each exhibit. This is truly a place to play together with your child. I have to comment on the disappointing reviews I've read. Perhaps these people are expecting to be entertained? Museums are about learning. The IDEA Museum is all about imagination and creation as well. Usually my kids are wailing if I try to leave before about two hours. We've never lacked for something fun to do!

  My kids (6, 4, & 2) had a blast here! We spent almost three hours playing and exploring. We were in the little kids area to begin with for quite sometime. All three ages had fun the both sides of the museum though. We got there about 1pm on a Wednesday and there were not very many people there so parking was easy and we could enjoy all the activities. My kids love making crafts and there was no lack of crafting materials. Everything was done professionally and with kid safety in mind. Pricing was a little high if you’re just going once. We are from out of town so a membership didn’t make sense for us, however, if we lived in the area we certainly would have bought one because membership is worth the price of being able to go back repeatedly. I know we would go back many times if we lived there. There is a dining room that has a couple of vending machines but they do not have a cafe so you’ll want to bring something to eat if you’re going to be there for awhile.

  My daughter LOVED this place. It has a large area full of different size soft blocks right when you walk in. There is a giant Lite-Brite board, a fake vet's office complete with ten different cat and dog stuffed animals to use as patients, an exam table, and a board to put up the pet's "x-rays". There is a stage area with curtains, seating, costumes, and musical instruments, and an arts and crafts room. And that's just on the little kids' (0-4 yo) side! There is also a nice private nursing room with some toys for entertaining an older brother or sister and a nice chair for mom. Lots of activities, including a black light room with a desert camping scene, on the big kids' side. We had such a great time, we are getting a membership!

  We started going here with a young toddler and kids every 2 years older than that. My oldest is now 12 and still had fun with his friend. There's enough to do that we usually miss something each time. Kids can spend several hours here. Finally tried the cafe here for the first time too. It was delicious. If you get a membership, don't forget to use your sky cycle passes, and put your guest passes in a safe place until use. I'm always losing those things! We never get around to the the Create Studio in the separate building. It's for older children so we didn't get in the habit when I had toddlers but it looks like great fun. Also wished I remembered that you get some discounts and some free tickets on other museums through membership.
