Story

What could be cooler than an indoor, 3-story mountain complete with a waterfall and simulated flash flood? Dinosaurs, of course! The Arizona Museum of Natural History has all this and more. Get out of the Arizona heat and spend a day at the coolest place in Greater Phoenix. You’ll be amazed by Dinosaur Hall and Dinosaur Mountain, tempted to seek your fortune when you pan for gold in the History Courtyard, and exhilarated while you explore our newest exhibit "Cultures of the Ancient Americas". Come and learn how early Native Americans lived in Arizona over 1000 years ago. Plan your visit today! Follow us on Instagram @AzMNH, on twitter @AzMNH, and on Pinterest www.pinterest.com/azmnh!

This place is awesome. My kids and I just love all of the cool exhibits. I just wish they did something to draw more crowd. I feel like there is a lot to experience here. People don't even know how nice of a museum they have right in their own backyard. I would recommend this place to anyone. There is so much to learn about. It how ever it would be nice to see some changes in displays like a rotation in themes or what not. Over all I love this place.

Very fun and kid friendly museum. As for adults, I recommend you take your sweet time looking through all the exhibits meaning reading everything and taking photos otherwise, you'll go through everything probably withing 2 hours. Key thing is take your time, you get what you pay form I do hope they add more prehistoric exhibits it's a shame Arizona doesn't have much to offer for museums

Great dinosaurs, friendly folks, lots to learn, and very kid friendly. There are some touch-friendly exhibits and a lot of moving or interactive things. The dinosaurs are truly impressive. Hang out by the waterfall for long enough and you'll see a flash flood simulation that's really neat.

Went for free sunday, was worth the line outside. It looks small but it's really big inside! It goes down 3 levels and includes so much. Lots of dinosaur attractions and a wide variety of cultural exhibits. Kid friendly as well

This place is great! Lots of things to see and learn about for kids and adults. The dinosaur mountain is my son's favorite thing to see and he requests that we come back at least once a week. We bought the membership and it's worth every penny!
