Children's Museum of Phoenix

Thanks to my cousin Gianna, my sister-in-law and I took our kids to the Children's Museum of Phoenix. See... she told us that they would be having free admission on a certain Saturday... so I decided I wanted to take my kids and my nephew Ducky (I had never even heard of this place). Jen thought it sounded fun too so made a plan to go.

Upon getting there we circled the parking lot a thousand time because the place was PACKED! To be expected since it was free and all... but we found parking.

Since we had to wait to be let in I decided to take some shots of the kiddos. The building is painted bright green so I used it as a background for my photos.

(Unedited in all their glory... still don't have photoshop installed... I will this week I promise!)

They also had some employees of the Museum outside blowing bubbles for the kids. They thought it was awesome because they were extra soapy and the kind that don't pop.




And they were all over the kids hair and stuff...



(Tallynna captured this of me and Alayna)



Then we went inside! The place was so cool! I really liked it because it was educational and fun for all ages! And we had from 11 months to 8 years. Pretty much everything inside was recycled somehow. All the activities, the decor, everything! Want to see more on that CLICK HERE.

They had this tube contraption thingy that you could stuff scarves into and then by opening and closes chutes you could change the amount of air pressure going in making the scarf go different directions... and eventually shoot out of a hole.





Then the kids tried on Shaq's shoes...




This area was Alayna's favorite. They had a table that looked like a Mushroom with toadstool chairs. In the table were buckets with fake flowers. Then directly beside the table was a "flower bed" with holes for the kids to plant and pull the flowers from. Alayna could have stayed there all day with the basket planting flowers.




Next we had to accommodate the 2 babies so we went to the infant/toddler area. Also so cute. Just outside was a stroller parking!



While Arielle was content just crawling around playing with the balls and blocks and such... or tasting them...



Juanito was all over! He planted flowers (and posed for me looking all innocent) just outside the playhouse.




And Brianna pretended to nap on the big pillow chairs for babies.



The last stop was the carwash! Diego said... "Hey my Daddy works at a car wash!" Arielle loved that the best. It was the cutest thing ever! I want my own car wash. LOL







And that was that! We only got to be there an hour before they closed. We didn't do nearly everything but we did see a lot. There are 3 floors of fun there!

I plan to go back another day early and spend more time there. It was fun for all of us and I know the kids would love to see the rest of it. So we are putting it into our calender and definitely going again.

If you live in Phoenix I definitely recommend it. They also have a painting area where kids can finger paint and such. We're gonna try that next time so make sure they are dressed for that!

Awesome, awesome, place.
