Facility

The Children's Museum of Phoenix will be located in the 70,000 square foot historic Monroe School building, at the corner of 7th Street and Van Buren in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Centrally located with on-site parking, the location is convenient to freeways and light-rail stops, and close to other downtown destinations such as US Airways Center, the Arizona Science Center, Chase Field, and the Civic Center.

Our exhibits are all hands-on and interactive to engage the minds, muscles and imaginations of 0-10 year olds. And they will be fun for grown-ups too!

We integrate proven educational principles and beliefs into our exhibits and programs.(see more)
