A great museum that includes MORE than natural history. This is an Arizona history museum with exhibits on geology, dinosaurs, meteorites, volcanoes, native Americans, Spanish colonization, movies set here, mining, and more! Plenty of free parking, multiple restrooms. Very friendly staff. Interactive exhibits include panning for gold and watching someone cleaning and assembling bones to make a skull. You could spend 3+ hours here easily.
