It's really quite amazing and highly underrated and or just not known about so much right now. There are so many different interactive activities for the kids to play with from building, color, changing, weird mirrors, and even some outdoor adventures. Far too much to list and it's way better to experience in person. There's a charge for entry daily, they also have camps and classes, and you can rent out the space for events. There's still more for me to figure out and find out with this place, but will be back for more for sure.

I take my daughter there for the Sunny Studio art classes and we get to enjoy the Second Sky community space afterwards. The space is quite large as is still in the process of being developed with the help of volunteers and community donations. As of now, the space it like a large warehouse....that is air conditioned! There are tables to sit and hag out, a concessions/snack stand and various interactive indoor activities, such as scooters, a cozy corner that is like a little library with books and couches, digital art and S.T.E.A.M. interactive exhibits. Outside they have the adventure playground that is really incredible! It's also a non-profit with the goal to create a space that serves the whole community. Their big picture, long-term plan is amazing. I've copied/pasted this following information from their digital booklet: "A shaded outdoor adventure playground for hands-on S.T.E.A.M. learning across multiple ages. A cafe with coffee, pastries, fast casual lunch and dinner, beer, wine and healthy soft drinks. A digital art venue. An event space with regular programming. A community space for meetings, rehearsals, clubs, and groups. A co-working spot for remote and self-employed workers. Multiple Experiences in One Place Putting these attractions in one large beautiful space lets people spend more time together instead of driving from destination to destination. By saving families time and keeping all ages occupied and engaged, we open up opportunities for child learning, homework help, career development, casual socialization and special events for all ages." Best of all, enjoying the space and playground is free!

I'll start by saying my little kids really like this place and have a good time there. There's…read moreplenty to do for kids ~10 and under...when it's not crazy crowded. This is not a place for older kids, and it can get extremely busy all of a sudden. When they do get busy they often do not have enough staff to man the front counter and the stations, especially the climbing area, which causes long lines slows down participation big time resulting in wasted time. Often during spring break there was only one staff member running that whole climbing area. One thing that I cannot stand as a parent is that they require you to purchase and wear their propriety grip socks. C'mon. Grip socks are grip socks and we have a whole drawer full of grip socks from different places we've been over the years. I've never been to a place where they care which grip socks you are wearing. But if you can't find their branded socks for each kid and adult then you have to purchase another pair just to participate even if you have a handful of viable grip socks. The only mention of it online is when you go to book a date they through it on the screen all of a sudden. It's says you have to have wild Katz grip socks but doesn't exclusively say you can only use their socks. It's just dumb. Lava Island off of River Road and Orange Grove does not have that policy and is also much more suitable for both older and younger kids! This would be a solid 4 star place for younger kids if not for the hit or miss staffing causing lines and the grip sock nonsense!

Trail Dust Town is part of a Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse complex. They have recreated an historic…read morewestern style town around a main square. Off to one side, past the stage coach, is a merry-go-round and ferris wheel for the smalls. (You can see them from part of the parking lot.) At the back, through a couple of arches you'll find a mission with fountian in the courtyard. Behind a stockade fence is a show venue. A small train you can ride travels around the outskirts of the property. Cost is one wooden nickle. Ice cream, a candy shop, a breakfast restaurant (open 6am-2pm), a day spa, photographer and several other businesses rent space in Trail Dust Town. Shows, the train and kiddie rides open at 5pm while other businesses open earlier. It's a very fun space to walk around. Enjoy the artifacts (gold panning, horse tack, barbed wire) and the recreated old western town atmosphere. Plenty of parking all around the town with handicap spots right along the road side. An ATM is on the sidewalk near the fort side of town. A small water fountain for your fur baby is near the train depot. Restrooms are inside Pinnacle Peak.

I dont like going to places where you have to pay just to "observe". They always have great music playing. Smart to have water fountains for patrons to stay hydrated without having to pay extra just for water. Music choice is always superb and awesome to listen to while watching the kiddos enjoy themselves. I haven't tried one yet but I like that they also offer massage chairs so the parents can enjoy themselves too. I appreciate all the hand sanitizer stations on the floor. The employees here are pretty observant and have great attitudes. There's nothing wrong with this place in my opinion but if I could make a recommendation, perhaps adding more options to the snack counter. Other than that I enjoy coming here. They also have a lot of cool discounts on specific days which is nice.

My husband and I first visited several years ago and loved it, so we knew it would be a fun place to bring him--and it absolutely was. The animals are so interactive and entertaining. Our favorite experience was with the nectar birds that literally sit on you while they drink. It was such a unique and memorable moment for our son (and honestly for us too!). We also did the monster truck tour, which was fantastic. The guide shared so many interesting facts about ostriches and the ranch itself, and it made the experience even more engaging. It's been really fun to see how much the ranch has grown over the past several years. They've added more experiences and clearly put a lot of care into the place. This spot is truly a treasure and a perfect stop for families looking for something a little different and very memorable. Highly recommend!

Starting from the employees who are so friendly, to the very cute animals and the well organized operation they have for their business.

My favorite ninja Turtles was always Raphael so of course I had to go say hi to him while I was there. I highly recommend anybody to come here and you will have a wonderful experience whether you're a child or an adult. My boyfriend and I love to come here for a date day and each time is fantastic.

There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they never seemed to run out of things to do. My 3-year-old especially loved the outdoor bubble station. I still need to find out what bubble formula they use because those bubbles were HUGE and so much fun! The admission price is also fantastic at just $12 per person, and I really appreciate that military families can get one child admitted free. Another thing I loved is that your admission ticket is valid for the entire day. We were able to take a break for lunch and then come back to enjoy the museum even more without rushing through everything. With affordable admission, a family-friendly atmosphere, and hands-on exhibits, this is an easy recommendation for anyone with young kids. We left with two happy, tired little ones and can't wait to visit again!

Plus there's a whole outdoor section with bubbles, a digging area, a music garden, and a small playground structure. I'm probably forgetting some things too--there's just so much! Not to mention an excellent gift shop. Each time we come we rarely do the same thing, since there is so much to explore! Truly a gem for our community! Thank you Children's Museum Tucson--we will be back again and again! My only wish--as a tired parent--is that there was a coffee shop on premises! I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting that :)
