IDEA Museum

We got a pass to Mesa's children's museum through Groupon when we first moved here and have made a habit of going every week in the last couple months since I've been feeling better. I really like it - it's smaller than the Memphis one, which is a good thing, and has a good variety of activities. A lot of the stations are crafty in nature, which is pretty much the best thing ever for my kids. They love their projects!!

There's a stage area with costumes and musical instruments for the kids to perform with

Foam blocks to build and roll around in

A wall-size light bright!

Madison always likes to wear white when we go because there's a camping room entirely lit by black lights. She loves to shine in there!

The full-size play kitchen is always popular

This is an area where you use lots of random materials to create houses. You can take your house home or add it to their village. We're already creating our own village at home!

McKinley especially loves gluing!
