4 reviews for Arizona Museum For Youth
This isn't a review of the museum itself, but of the special exhibit they were hosting - Jim Henson's Fantastic World. I couldn't find somewhere to post a review of jus the exhibit.
The exhibit is traveling around the country for the next few years - and if you are a Henson Fan you should definitely try to see it. Here is a list of where it will be http://www.sites.si.ed...
The exhibit includes original posters, drawings and notebooks, video clips, as well as Muppets. Kids will enjoy seeing the Muppets, adults will enjoy the whole exhibit. At the end was a place for kids to put on a puppet show, make a storyboard and make a face for a Muppet.
It was very interesting to get an insight into the genius Henson was, and how if he didn't use an idea in one place, he would try to get it incorporated into something else.
Its at this museum until March 9th.

I was told about this place a long time ago and finally went with my son this week. It was awesome! We spent our time in Artville where it's totally kidproof and touchable. It costs an admission fee for kids over 1 so it made sense for us to buy a membership if we planned on coming a few more times. We'll definitely go back!
One of our faves from our days living in Mesa. Housed right down the street from the Southwest Museum, so you can visit both in one culture-filled day!
This is truly a hands-on museum where kids -- and adults -- are encouraged to experience art. They offer always-changing exhibits, so you can visit the museum frequently without getting bored, and a nicely renovated gallerey shop.
The Museum for Youth also offers art workshops and classes, from kids six months and up. For the littlest kids there is ArtVille, an imaginative play space where kids can explore a miniature "town," complete with elements of a house (such as Living Room and Kitchen), a Garden, a Studio and a Theater space.

This museum is fantastic. We recently visited it on vacation. I have a 8 year old and an almost 5-year old. They have a pretend area for younger kids. It is a bit young for my kids, but of course they still loved it. The exhibits in the museum were well thought out with opportunities for children to experiment in all different mediums. For example, one of the two exhibits was called Table Manners. We could read books about table manners, experiment with chopsticks and play food, make table scapes and then draw them, and much more. And then of course, there was the art. They had a nice selection, again in different mediums. Museum was clean, staff was friendly and overall, we will visit again if in town.
