Arizona Museum of Natural History

Nestled in the heart of downtown Mesa, the Arizona Museum of Natural History is the premier natural history museum in Arizona. A “must-see” for dinosaur lovers, the main attraction is Dinosaur Mountain, with animatronic dinosaurs, a 3-story indoor waterfall and a flash flood that happens every 30 minutes. If dinosaurs are not your interest, then pan for gold, learn about volcanoes, or discover Arizona’s connections to civilizations further afield like the Maya.
