I've been to Contemporary Art museums across the country but I think the one in Scottsdale is the most approachable. It offers a variety of programming to reach out to different groups of people (including teenagers). I appreciate the community outreach. It is conveniently located in Old Town and they have a GREAT Gift Shop. Plan on bringing a few bucks to get a memorable gift on your way out. Many of the exhibits are interactive so I was able to get lost in the experience for a bit. Great times.

The price is not worth the short amount of time a person would usually spend in there. The exhibits just aren't usually that great or that enthralling. Staff could work on being more friendly, or at least more polite. Nice architecture on the outside, though!

Scheduled docent tours didn't occur. Some individual pieces in the recent acquisitions and conservation projects exhibition were interesting but couldn't see any theme or point. I can understand why the artists in the remembering exhibition couldn't remember because the photos and film footage were so mundane.

I like this place. Been a few times over the years. Exhibits are usually great, last time I went I was a little underwhelmed but overall this is usually a fun couple hours on a weekend. Also it's right in old Town Scottsdale so the whole area makes for a great time

There are some interesting exhibits there from time to time, modern themed. However, expect to be done mostly in 10 minutes. Just for visiting this place it's not worth unless they are exibiting something exceptional. Check ahead on the website their current exhibits.
