CREATE at Arizona Science Center® — Attraction in Phoenix

The CREATE area is simply the most amazing place! Nick, RaeAnn, Jordan, Esther & Victoria are an amazing team of people who were ready and willing to help us be as creative as we wanted. They had the knowledge and excellent way of guiding and teaching. My son and I enjoyed two mornings, of our vacation, at the CREATE lab. We made a car, a lamp, cutting boards and some other projects we plan to use as gifts. The CREATE studio has the high quality equipment to help you design anything your heart would like. The studio is clean and extremely well kept and clean. It’s accessible to all levels, ages and abilities.

The staff does not want to deal with newbies (and yet, this place was designed specifically for newbies to come and learn). So...

Great for makers and kids ! No charge to go in and look around. They even have stuff to try for no charge. They also have projects for kids (even the little ones) you can pay for, build, and take home when done, like building a small lantern and other items. They also have advanced workshops on things like 3D printing for kids starting at 8 years old.
