About
The Children's Museum of Phoenix, also known as CMoP, is an interactive museum in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, at 215 N 7th Ave. It is designed specifically for children aged 0 to 10, so the whole place is built around young visitors rather than adults who happen to bring them along.
What a visit is like
The museum's character is hands-on. Its exhibits invite children to touch, build, experiment and explore, and its creative play spaces give them room to make things of their own. For families with very young children, the mix of play areas and exhibits suits a visit that moves at a small person's pace, with plenty to try and no need to stand still and read.
