The Grand Ballroom at Children's Museum of Phoenix

My favorite area was probably The Grand Ballroom, because I've always been fascinated with mazes and any convoluted apparatus that can keep a ball rolling from point A to point B!

The Market is not only future shoppers, but also for aspiring check-out clerks and inventory managers. Children can stock shelves, make food choices while shopping, verify the weight of those melons, and check out in this market, but they can also visit the kitchen and create imaginary meals in The Texture Cafe.

The Book Loft is a quieter place, where adults and kids can take a break and read a good book.

Here's a tip: Adults visiting the museum must be accompanied by at least one child. The museum is usually the most interesting or exciting for children up to 10 years old.
