Mom and dad are used to telling their kids to not touch anything. But when the whole family visits the i.d.e.a. Museum, the kids are actually encouraged to reach out and touch as much as possible. This child-oriented arts center features a program of exhibits and attractions that are changed quite frequently, so you can visit often and not encounter the same surroundings. This is only one of two facilities of its kind in the country, and that uniqueness is the perfect setting in which to foster your kids' creativity.
With so much natural beauty surrounding it, a visit to the Arizona Museum of Natural History is a sure bet for a highly educational and entertaining time. Considered one of the best museums in the state, this facility offers lots of dramatically designed and well-presented exhibits. Perhaps the most famous of these is “Dinosaur Mountain” which features several attention-getting devices to tell its prehistoric story. A constantly flowing 50-foot-high indoor waterfall is just another of this museum's many highlights.
Spirits connect in many ways at the annual Dia De Los Muertos Festival. This is also known as the Day of the Dead Festival that takes place every year at the end of October. This community celebration features a striking community altar as well as live music and special performances that depict various aspects of this traditional religious event. The festival also features delicious food and a mercado that offers an assortment of Dia de los Muertos items that includes jewelry and arts and crafts.
