Do your kids like robots? Then take them to Mesa this summer to the i.d.e.a. Museum. They have some extremely outrageous and fun robots, and so much more to enchant children, ages newborn to 12 this summer.
According to their website, the i.d.e.a. Museum’s mission is “to ignite the boundless imagination of children by curating wonderous and joyful interactive learning experiences where art and creativity are at the heart of every adventure.”
What’s cool about the i.d.e.a. Museum? Well, it’s indoors this summer, enough said as the Valley’s temperatures climb to 110+ degrees. Second thing is the experiences your children have at this museum can help keep their minds learning in a very fun way during their summer break.
And what’s the coolest thing about the i.d.e.a. Museum this summer? It’s only a $10 admission fee for all ages! It’s recommended that you purchase tickets in advance, although tickets are sold at the museum. Tickets may sell out before you get there, so purchasing them in advance is recommended.
Reserve tickets in advance here.
