Review Natural History Museum Mesa AZ

Being on a two week fall break I am trying to find time to be filled with adeventures and one such adventure we go to all the time but find something new. Its Arizona Museum of Natural Hisorty and my kids love going here.
When you first arrive your are greeted to the Creation of earth 4.5 billion years ago to the present. With different interactive stations kids and adutls get to see the cycle of earth as well as touch meteorites and exlore the different minreals found all over Arizona.
Next stop is Dinosaur hall where the kids get to discover the biggest dinos as well as Dino Mountian where you can watch waterfall of rushing water.
As you go towards the basement you find cretaceruos Sea creatures all the while putting together puzzels, and the exploration room.
The Exploration room is the best room for parents because we get to sit down while the kids learn about magnets, rocks, art, history and cuddle with stuff animals as they read about Dinosaurs.

That is just the beginning you can tour an old jail, go panning for old, dig for dino bones and enjoy the history of movies in Arizona. Parents can enjoy a Visit to a Hohokam village with pithouses and above ground strucatures as well as real artifacts.

There is even a section on the Lost Dutchmen lost Gold as well as the infamous map.

If you have several hours or just need to get away from the AZ heat this museum is worth a ticket.
