Next year, I need to start a little earlier or do the 5k walk/run. Even though temps were in the high 80's it got really hot towards the end. Luckily, they provided bottle waters for everyone (room temperature but can't complain). Remember to bring a hat, stroller (to hold all the freebies) & make the kiddies wear their tennis shoes in case they participate in any sports event

They've aged out of the soft play areas, but now they can spend hours at the stop motion video station and exploring the newer exhibits. The recycling area is also one of their favorites. It's such a quaint little space and incredibly affordable for what you get. I also love seeing downtown Mesa continue to grow, and the museum feels like a big part of that energy. From a parent perspective, it's really easy to visit. There's ample parking, it's very stroller and diaper bag friendly, and it's a perfect place for a playdate. You can actually have conversations while the kids explore and move between activities. The mural in the courtyard is gorgeous and the puppets are always a hit with my kids. It's one of those places we keep coming back to.

They have a bunch of different rooms for older kids to explore- music, crafts, and the middle room always changes with different displays they can play, the other big room has the scarf and air toss, building, crafts, puppet show, ball drop and more. The baby-small toddler room my son still enjoys, it has a big soft middle area, play kitchen, play vet, play theater, a very small enclosed area for babies to crawl around which is great. And another area with magna tiles and other toys like that. I also saw the reading story time area in the back of that. They have a room for eating and also an outside patio which is huge for play and eating. Would recommend to anyone. Very affordable!

I also love that they have a bar and food area so if you're watching a game you can enjoy everything in one place. Such a fun spot, and I can't wait to come back!

They have a variety of deals, be sure to check out their website site. They are a bit pricey for the activities otherwise. Activities (5/5): Ranging from bowling to karaoke to pickleball to arcade games, they're sure to have something you'll enjoy. Price (3/5): The individual activities can be quite pricey. Games range from 9 to 18 points, which is 1-2.50 per game. Staff / Customer Service (3/5): we had to receive a refund on a game that wasn't working and it took a fair amount t of time waiting for a manager. However they did help retrieve a prize quickly that we won. They seem well staffed otherwise. Would definitely recommend this as an activity on the hot summer days/nights in southeast AZ. For those looking for a deal, try the game time option which is 8 dollars per hour for unlimited play.
