1)  Arizona Museum For Youth

A child-oriented fine arts center featuring changing art exhibits and unique hands-on art activities for children.  As one of only two museums in the United States with a fine arts focus, it offers children excitement and stimulation in a fun environment designed for learning and creative expression.  Voted one of the nation’s best children’s museums by USA Today.  Call for weekly special event dates and times:  (480) 644-2467.

2)  Rockin R Ranch

As your group enters the Rockin’ R Ranch trough the “Dutchman’s Cave,” they are greeted with hot, Dutch oven biscuits cooked over mesquite coals.  Next, you can pan for gold, shoot a real Colt 45, wander through our western gift shops, or wash down the trail dust at the Saloon where they choose their own saddle to “belly up to the bar.”  There is also a wild west stage show to enjoy.  For further information, call:  (480) 832-1539.

3)  Mesa Arts Center

You can visit the museum for the exhibits or live performances or you can take a class and learn to reveal your own artistic expression!  There are dance and comedy shows, as well as musical performances.  Fun for the whole family!  The museum is located on East Main Street in Mesa and admission is free.  For further information, call:  (480) 644-6560.
