Museums in Mesa, AZ

Arizona's museums punch above their weight — the Heard Museum's Native American collections, Phoenix's Musical Instrument Museum, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Pima Air & Space, and small-town gems in Bisbee, Jerome, and Flagstaff. They're ideal for a hot afternoon or a rainy monsoon day. Check hours (some cut back in summer), whether tickets are timed, and family or membership options if you're visiting more than one.
