My question is what to do with the day in Phoenix? I have 2 boys, 10 and 12. People have recommended the Arizona Science Center, but I hesitate because I'd rather do something that is more "Phoenix," whatever that means. We have a science center membership at home, and while I'm sure the exhibits at ASC will be interesting and different from what we have here, at the end of the day it's still a science center. Would the Dessert Botanical Garden be a better option? Maybe something with an "old west" experience? Thanks!
