Arizona Science Center

The Arizona Science Center is a creative date.  Your last visit was probably as a school boy or girl on a field trip, and if you had fun then, you will have fun on a date.   The hands-on exhibits keep you entertained and engaged.  You won't have trouble keeping the conversation flowing.  I promise! 

It is even a good way to become better acquainted with your date.  There is an entire section devoted to quizzes that will tell you how quickly you will age, point out likely genetic quirks, and show your levels of daring and hand/eye co-ordination.

Distort your features on a giant screen

Play a drum with your heart

There are puzzles, a giant tug-of-war, and Mind Wars- you control your game piece with your brain waves.  You can experience hurricane winds, the heat of a wild fire, and the rocking of an earth quake.  Pedal a bike and power a light bulb.  Crawl through a giant stomach.  The list goes on.... 

The Science Center is open from 10 am to 5 pm, everyday except Christmas and Thanksgiving.  The Science Center is a popular field trip destination, so if you go during the day, you may have to manuever through groups of school children.  If you prefer to explore with adults, visit on a First Friday.  The Science Center is open for adults only from 5:30pm to 9pm.  Best of all, admission is free!  Regular fees apply to watch an IMAX or visit a special exhibit.

The Science Center is full of educational exhibits.  You will not only have a great time, you will learn fascinating new facts!

If you visit the right exhibits, you can even get some exercise!
