Activity Overview
Formerly known as the Arizona Museum for Youth after a major renovation this facility was re-opened as IDEA Museum. IDEA encourages children and adults alike to engage the full wonders of their imagination through exhibits that delve into the incredible worlds of art, science and technology. 3 display areas and an outdoor zone challenge visitors to get creative.

- Various art days and workshops take place at the Museum which often include activities for parents and caregivers to enjoy along with the kids. Music for Tots and Tiny Tots will entertain and excite toddlers between one and five years old. Story Time in Art Ville takes place Tuesdays through Saturdays at 11:00 am.
