Activity Overview
Known as the i.d.e.a. Museum since 2014, the Arizona Museum for Youth is a surprisingly refreshing museum that focuses on children's art and allows the entire family to explore their imagination through design. A wealth of interactive opportunities awaits at the Arizona Museum for Youth. The exhibitions in this museum encourage creativity by engaging all senses.
Allow your little kids to ignite their imagination in Artville, a place specially designed for children aged 0 to 4. Here they can experiment with pixels, gears, light boxes with cubes and Legos. The Performing Arts Center is a space where little ones can engage in puppet shows and play their own scenes.
