Parents often instruct their children not to touch anything, but the I.D.E.A. Museum encourages kids to reach out and touch as much as they want. This art center is designed for children and offers a range of exhibits and attractions that are frequently changed, so you can visit often and always discover something new. It is one of only two facilities in the country, making it the perfect place to foster your children's creativity. The museum offers hands-on activities, art exhibitions for kids of all ages, and programs for the entire family. Its mission is to inspire visitors to see the world differently. Therefore, it promotes early learning, nurtures creative thinking, and engages families in quality experiences.

While it's obvious that when you spend time in Mesa, you're in the Arizona desert, that doesn't mean that you can't cool down in a really fun way by experiencing the fun of Salt River Tubing. Drift along the river through the Tonto National Forest to experience some truly amazing and breathtaking scenery. The duration of your tube-oriented adventure varies and depends on where your starting point is as well as the current of the river. Children must be at least eight years old and four feet tall to enjoy this attraction. One convenient fee covers the cost of parking, tube rental and shuttle service. A deposit may be required. Also, don't forget to bring snacks, sunglasses and sunscreen!

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.
