  We promise you......your kids will actually forget about texting on their phones this summer at the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum. Get out of the heat and bring them to experience a rare, multi-sensory experience like no other. At the only combat aviation museum in Phoenix, you and your family will take an edu-venture through history and learn how aircraft evolved as a heroic partner to ground and sea operations from WWI to present. At our museum we WANT you to get up close and personal with history. Our friendly docents are the keepers of nostalgic, inspirational stories and are at your service to answer any questions or lead a tour through our collection of artifacts and exhibits. Walk through our working hangar and watch aircraft mechanics bring muscular engines to life. Climb aboard our bombers and cargo planes or, better yet, book a once-in- a-lifetime flight in an authentic warbird. Choose among seven WWII aircraft, from an open biplane to the rarest bombers in the world. And don't forget to stop by our museum gift store and bring home a bomber jacket for you and your pooch. We're a non-profit organization and staffed 99.9% by dedicated volunteers who honor our mission to restore, preserve, and remember the ingenuity and sacrifices of past generations. (less) ...

  Join The Fun in The Best of Indoor Playgrounds in Peoria, AZ at Uptown Jungle!

     At Uptown Jungle Fun Park, your family time is fun & healthy! Built up for maximum space use, our indoor playground for kids is full of attractions and features connected via bridges and mezzanines where your kids will get 100% of their exercise for the day. Your tots will enjoy our special indoor play areas for toddlers and it's up to you to choose your activity - savoring some me-moments in our parent lounge or playing away with your little ones. We are the Great Indoors in Peoria, AZ! Looking for an "indoor trampoline park near me"? We're minutes away! As much as we like sunshine, summer temperatures in Peoria can make it really difficult for your kids to get the exercise and movement they need. Spending time indoors, your kids' choice of entertainment is limited and often - exhausted! What do you do when all the games and video games played, when all the cartoons have been watched and when their best playmates are out of town? You went to Lake Pleasant last weekend and it's too hot to go to Pioneer Community Park. What do you do when you need a change of scene or when your kids are full of beans and you're out of activity ideas? Hit Uptown Jungle! (less) ... Read more
