Arizona Science Center
There's always exciting adventures going on at the museum in downtown Phoenix, but the Giant Mysterious Dinosaurs will only be in town through January 21, 2013. It is the largest touring collection of dinosaur skeletons and robotics. It costs between $19 and $24 to see the dinosaurs, and that includes General Admission to Arizona Science Center. If you want to visit the Planetarium or see the IMAX film there are additional charges. I recommend that you purchase tickets in advance, in case it sells out. - For the Genealogy Lover
