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.

In a world where the importance of going green seems to get more and more important every day, learn about what you can do to help out when you visit Vertuccio Farms in Mesa. Established in 1979, this unique farm is home to fall festivals, corn mazes, a spring break camp and Easter egg hunts. Also, field trips and tours are available, but must be booked in advance. Some of the many highlights of the tour include a visit to the Pizza Farm, a straw maze, farm animals and lots more.

Take a cue from the best when you rack'em up for a fun game of pool at Mesa's Main Street Billiards. This is a classy yet comfortable place to enjoy a few games, grab some munchies and meet friends to have a few beers and enjoy both the games on the tables and the sports action on the venue's many big flat screen televisions.
