Arizona Science Center Description
This place answers all those impossible questions kids love to ask. Exhibits are interactive, and little visitors participate in creating what they're seeing (like pedaling bicycles to demonstrate kinetic energy). Got kids who think "gross" equals entertaining? They'll love watching how sneezes spread germs from the nose to the world beyond, or the 3-D display on the digestive process. It's all designed to be educational, fun, and just yucky enough to appeal to the younger set. And since kids are encouraged to touch the exhibits, parents get a break from policing and can relax and enjoy the fun, too.
