The Heard Museum Description
From scavenger hunts to family-friendly movie schedules, there's more for kids to do here than just follow their parents through the exhibits. Children can make a Yavapai basket out of paper, make a beaded necklace, and listen to Navajo storytelling sessions during the winter months.

Planning Notes
- Take a lunch break. The Heard's Arcadia Farms Café serves classic Southwest cuisine as well as soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts.
- See American Indian arts and handicrafts. The museum shop offers an extensive collection of jewelry, pottery, paintings, sculpture, katsina dolls, and weavings (many of which are one-of-a-kind designs), as well as CDs, books, T-shirts, and souvenirs for the kids.
- Go it alone. Private tours of the museum geared to your little ones' interests can be arranged. There's no extra charge for the service, but you do have to call ahead to reserve.
- Get a guide. Free group guided tours are offered daily at noon, 1:30, and 3 p.m.
