Nestled in the heart of downtown Mesa, the Arizona Museum of Natural History is Arizona’s premier natural history museum. 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, pan for gold, learn about volcanoes or discover Arizona’s connections to civilizations like the Maya.
