Arizona and Colorado family vacation 2010

Science Museum, Phoenix, AZ
After getting to sleep in a little bit we of course had kids who eagerly wanted to swim in the pool. We swam most of the morning and enjoyed some sandwiches with Roger and Ellen. Around 1:00 we headed downtown to the Science museum. We forget that we would need to pay to park in a parking ramp and had trouble finding one that we could clear with the storage topper on the van. We ended up having to pay $12.00 for parking and had to park a few blocks away which disappointed us because the parking ramp across from the science museum offered discounted parking.

This is a picture of me with my kids walking across the balancing bridge.


The science museum was wonderful for all 3 of our kids! Everything was hands on and educational. The admission price was $10.00 a piece with children under 3 Free. They also have an IMAX theater and a Planetarium which costs an additional $8.00 a person. Since we arrived at 1:00pm we were unable to do either of these things because the museum was HUGE and had 4 levels and unfortunately closes at 5:00pm. We still had a great time and barley finished the 4 levels when they were calling closing time.

 I recommend this place to anyone who has children and please take my advice when I say you need a full day to enjoy this place!

Back to Roger and Ellen's
We had some spaghetti for supper and enjoyed visiting with family for the rest of the night. We are meeting up with some close friends of ours at the zoo tomorrow and are very excited to see them!
