Your kids will be intrigued by the many mysteries of the human mind, at the Arizona Science Center located at Papago Park. They can learn about addiction and study the physical changes in the brain when an addiction is present; how wounds are healed; and what are the patterns of learning.

Apart from the exhibit on human physiology, informative exhibits on transportation, earth sciences, computers and applied sciences can keep kids of all ages occupied all day long.

The 300 hands-on exhibits at this Phoenix museum are a fun way to learn more about the sciences. Visitors can watch educational films at the IMAX theater and explore the galaxy at the Dorrance Planetarium.
