It's really quite amazing and highly underrated and or just not known about so much right now. There are so many different interactive activities for the kids to play with from building, color, changing, weird mirrors, and even some outdoor adventures. Far too much to list and it's way better to experience in person. There's a charge for entry daily, they also have camps and classes, and you can rent out the space for events. There's still more for me to figure out and find out with this place, but will be back for more for sure.

Second Sky is such a cool space!

I take my daughter there for the Sunny Studio art classes and we get to enjoy the Second Sky community space afterwards. The space is quite large as is still in the process of being developed with the help of volunteers and community donations. As of now, the space it like a large warehouse....that is air conditioned! There are tables to sit and hag out, a concessions/snack stand and various interactive indoor activities, such as scooters, a cozy corner that is like a little library with books and couches, digital art and S.T.E.A.M. interactive exhibits. Outside they have the adventure playground that is really incredible! It's also a non-profit with the goal to create a space that serves the whole community. Their big picture, long-term plan is amazing. I've copied/pasted this following information from their digital booklet: "A shaded outdoor adventure playground for hands-on S.T.E.A.M. learning across multiple ages. A cafe with coffee, pastries, fast casual lunch and dinner, beer, wine and healthy soft drinks. A digital art venue. An event space with regular programming. A community space for meetings, rehearsals, clubs, and groups. A co-working spot for remote and self-employed workers. Multiple Experiences in One Place Putting these attractions in one large beautiful space lets people spend more time together instead of driving from destination to destination. By saving families time and keeping all ages occupied and engaged, we open up opportunities for child learning, homework help, career development, casual socialization and special events for all ages." Best of all, enjoying the space and playground is free!

We had such a great time at the Children's Museum in Tucson! I brought my 5- and 3-year-olds, and…read morethey both had an absolute blast exploring all of the different exhibits. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they never seemed to run out of things to do. My 3-year-old especially loved the outdoor bubble station. I still need to find out what bubble formula they use because those bubbles were HUGE and so much fun! The admission price is also fantastic at just $12 per person, and I really appreciate that military families can get one child admitted free. Another thing I loved is that your admission ticket is valid for the entire day. We were able to take a break for lunch and then come back to enjoy the museum even more without rushing through everything. With affordable admission, a family-friendly atmosphere, and hands-on exhibits, this is an easy recommendation for anyone with young kids. We left with two happy, tired little ones and can't wait to visit again!

I have a four and a one year old and there are so many things for them to do. So many different rooms to explore: there's the transportation/public service area, with a car, a police motorcycle, and ambulance; there's the desert section all about our special Sonoran desert; there's a train room, a grocery store and kitchen, a vet area, a whole science based room, an art room, and a room exclusively for kids 5 and under. Plus there's a whole outdoor section with bubbles, a digging area, a music garden, and a small playground structure. I'm probably forgetting some things too--there's just so much! Not to mention an excellent gift shop. Each time we come we rarely do the same thing, since there is so much to explore! Truly a gem for our community! Thank you Children's Museum Tucson--we will be back again and again! My only wish--as a tired parent--is that there was a coffee shop on premises! I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting that :)

My kids and I decided that we were going to go to Get Air for our first time during the day on a…read moreMonday. To accompany us, I brought my mother who didn't quite know what to except- honestly none of us did. When we entered, there was a sign which directed us to watch a safety video and to fill out an electronic consent form. The process was quick even though there was a line. After this process, you move around to the front of the desk where you can pay. There are a variety of jumping specials depending on the day and you can purchase time from one hour up. We were greeted by an extremely kind employee who you could just tell was friendly. He spoke about Get Air like he loved his job which I could tell by his enthusiasm. We ended up purchasing three jumping bands (2 kids and myself) and my mom was a spectator. (She needed a bracelet but she was free.) There were plenty of places to jump and even an obstacle course. My mom also had plenty of places to sit and I just add- the place was incredibly clean. So clean, it smelt like the inside of a carwash- in a good way. We will definitely be back- lots of options for the family and places to chill if you need it.

I don't recommend doing parties here. When we called to discuss reserving a party, we weren't told…read morewhat to expect other than drinks and pizza would be provided. I thought that meant pizza was made and served from in house, which would give us the option to order more as needed. But instead, the pizza was delivered from Dominos, which meant once the food was ordered, there was no option to get more. So when our two small pizzas for a party of 10 kids and 15 adults arrived, it wasn't enough food and we had to go buy more food somewhere else and bring it in. The party package came with 10 jumpers, 2 sodas, and 2 small pizzas, and it was $10 for each extra jumper but as we paid for more jumpers they didn't provide any more drinks or food. I won't be doing a party here again

I don't think our zoo gets enough credit. My views may have changed now that I have a toddler…read more After recently visiting a big city zoo, I have come to really appreciate the benefit of our cozier zoo! Getting from animal to animal isn't a huge hike and the animals are fairly close, easier for toddlers to find and take in! They also have a beautiful family playground space for kids, toddler playground included. I wish the playground was completely covered, but some shade is better than none with Tucsons heat. We have an annual pass, great deal and makes us feel much less pressure to rush around to see everything at every visit. If we only make it to the elephants and giraffe, no big deal, we will come back. Right now we love the giraffes and they have a new baby, make sure to visit soon!

First as a child as a family outing with my siblings, parents, cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents, then as a parent taking my children. I am now looking forward to showing my grandchildren the wonders of actual experience, with actual animals, that are living and breathing. These are not AI, not CGI and not animated. They are real living breathing animals. The zoo is modest in size and easily explored within 3 hours or so. We even rode the Reid Park Express miniature train! The zoo features, many different birds, reptiles and mammals from around the world. There are multiple aviaries, and the large mammal enclosures include elephants, rhinoceros, grizzly bear, giraffes and many, many more animals than I can name. The caretakers have done an excellent job of managing the zoo over the years. It is clean and well maintained. The animal habitats are spacious and the animals are well cared for. The only reasons I did not give a five star rating, (and this is where partial stars would be nice Yelp!) is because the zoo is pretty small with a very small gift shop, and Reid Park itself is not nearly so well maintained as the zoo. I truly recommend the zoo for anybody seeking a reason to get the kids out of the house, or just to go on a date.
