Arizona has countless attractions that are ripe for exploration. This includes our many museums, an aquarium, zoos and wildlife parks, amusement and water parks, and so much more. Head to downtown Phoenix and you’ll discover several museums including the Phoenix Art Museum, the Arizona Science Center, and the Heard Museum which I am excited to tell you about today. The Heard is a massive museum in Arizona where you can spend the day exploring.

The Heard Museum is an exceptional museum with numerous galleries displaying American Indian art. It is located at 2301 N Central Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona.
