Field guide · Phoenix
Indoor Discovery Day
Hands-on science, playful exhibits, and ice cream to close it out — a fully air-conditioned outing that works whether you're solo or bringing kids.
Spend the bulk of your three hours bouncing between exhibits at the Arizona Science Center, then pop over to the Children's Museum of Phoenix for a change of pace (check it's not a Monday). Cap the day with a scoop at Novel Ice Cream to cool down before you head back into the heat.
