Arizona Science Center
An interactive science museum in the city centre, with a planetarium, IMAX and hundreds of hands-on exhibits. A top choice for families with children.
The science centre has four floors of galleries covering the human body, energy, weather, space and more. Most exhibits are hands-on, and the centre also has the Doherty Planetarium and a giant-screen theatre, with large special exhibitions held year-round. Admission is about USD 25, and the planetarium and theatre cost extra. It sits right next to Heritage Square, so the two can be visited together.
