The Arizona Historical Society Museum is one of Arizonas best kept secrets for holding an event. Id like to spread the word about this beautiful venue. Weve had several events there and our guests truly loved everything about the venue. The event staff were so accommodating and easy to work with. The facility offers so much flexibility as far as being able to use whatever caterer you prefer, bartending service, and other vendors you want to bring in. I highly recommend the Arizona Historical Society Museum for your next event!!!

Start with the bad first, some of the information is dated, some exhibits need to be redone, and there is a heavy phoenix bias to the displays. But the quality and quantity of information is awesome, the staff is excellent, and some of the exhibits are really interesting and engaging, like the Roosevelt dam and the copper exhibits. My father and I read everything and spent 4 hours just upstairs!

I picked up Culture Passes from my local library for this place and found it to be a very fun place to take the kids. As you walk through the wings and travel through Arizonas history from the beginning of time all the way up to present day. My children loved the history of transportation section where they have model cars that they allow the kids to climb all over!

I took my 6 and 10 year old kids here hoping theyd learn about some Arizona history. Great for kids! Very educational for the young and old. Lots of hands on activities and old pictures. Wonderfully staged walk through the late 1800s-present time. Highly recommend. A great way to beat the summer heat.

Showed up, we even called to make sure it was open. And we pull up to a closed sign was taped to the hours. So sad. Had friends visiting and we were excited to see the new lights exhibit. Maybe in a few months.

My 4 year old enjoyed himself so much it was hard to get him to leave for lunch; and he loves to eat! Great hands-on experience for all ages.

Used to be better several years ago. I think they lost a key staff member or something, it has been steadily declining for almost a decade.

Excellent history museum of the Phoenix area. We spent 2 hours and really enjoyed it, and found it well worth the admission.

This was wonderful. Cant wait to go again next year. I had no idea of the history of our area!
