Outstanding little museum focusing on the history of Tempe. Free! They also have an exceptional committee that arranges lunchtime lectures and presentations, monthly music groups, and other educational experiences for youth and adults. Did I mention its all free? The building is part of a city complex with a library, art studio, senior center -- plenty of free parking, well lit at night, on bus routes, electric vehicle charge stations, and convenient to the 60 freeway. They now have a raised solar panel array that shades one of the parking lots! Tempe did a great job on this.

I love this museum BUT if you do not have children nor particularly like children this may not be the place for you. There is a wonderful childs play area with a stage and truck with play food. Children love it and WILL get loud and excited. There are large areas outside of the kids area where adults can read the exhibits etc, but please be aware that the childs space invites imaginatve, excited play.

Took the mother in law here with my wife as my mother in law wished to see it. I was a good sport about it. This is one of the finest Art Museums that I have ever visited! This is basically one mans collection and he had a great eye! So much stuff that it is truly overwhelming. Do not be in a hurry, you will regret it!

Very nice and helpful staff. Amazon place for toddler and up, dress-up, photo sending options, very entertaining. Learning about telegraphs, controlling model trains, they also have summer programs and concerts during the fall. Love the place! Wheelchair and stroller accessible & friendly!

Free museum with interesting history of the Tempe area (Tucsonans will need to hold their noses as they peruse the history of what became Arizoana State University - fears were substantiated). Currently (until October 2017), there is an installation all about the railroad in Tempe.

Had a great time and enjoy it! Very informative, you learn how different cultures came to Arizona and how they work hard and what they had to go through. Had a lot of examples, for you to see.

worth a visit. It isnt a huge building, so we only spent an hour or so with kids - and the kids really enjoyed it.
