Top Museums in Arizona

Try to visit on a weekday if you can. It was so much quieter and I really enjoyed the exhibits without the crowds.

If you're short on time, focus on the highlights like the 'Instruments from Around the World' gallery. Trust me, it’s packed with cool stuff!

Get the audio guide! It really enhances the experience and gives you more info about the instruments. I thought it was worth the extra few bucks.

I suggest getting there right when they open at 9 AM. It can get super hot later, and the earlier you go, the fewer crowds you'll have. Plus, you can take your time exploring the planes without feeling rushed.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. It was super quiet then, and I could really enjoy the exhibits without the crowd getting in the way.

Wear comfy shoes! I didn’t think I’d walk so much, but those exhibits are spread out. A bit of planning could've saved my feet from aching so much.

if you’re planning to eat at the cafe my advice is to check the menu online first. i found that they had some cool affordable options but i wish i’d seen it beforehand!

Check the schedule for the special demonstrations before your visit. I missed one, and it sounded really cool!

Definitely check out the guided tour. It’s only a couple of bucks extra, and you get a ton of cool stories and insights that you wouldn't get just strolling around. I found it well worth it!

I think you should spend some time exploring the grounds. The outdoor sculptures and landscaping are beautiful and often overlooked by visitors rushing inside.

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It gets crowded fast, and you'll get to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. Trust me, it’s worth waking up early.

My advice is to check out the gift shop after your visit. I spotted some cool and quirky souvenirs that I regret not grabbing right away, so don’t miss it!
