You may have heard that the big game is coming to the valley soon, and if you’re planning a trip downtown for all the festivities, there will be plenty of attractions to entertain both the big fans and the little fans.
Starting on January 28th, Cityscape in downtown Phoenix and the surrounding area will be transformed into Super Bowl Central, a twelve-block campus of football-themed, family-friendly fun.
Cityscape has also extended City Skate, Phoenix’s only real outdoor ice skating rink through February 1st, and the ticket price includes skate rentals and access to the rink during public hours. The rink is located in the middle of Central Ave, between Washington and Jefferson streets on the very west end of Super Bowl Central.
For your little fan who likes doing science experiments, on the east end of Super Bowl Central is the Arizona Science Center, which features more than 300 hands-on exhibits, live demonstrations, a state-of-the-art Planetarium and a five-story IMAX® theater, which will feature Galapagos: Nature’s Wonderland in 3D through February.
Just north along 7th Street is the home of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, where the exhibits aren’t just for looking. Your little fan up to the age of 10 can crawl, climb, draw, build and explore three floors of colors, shapes and textures, and for the especially little fans, the main floor is home to the Place for Under Threes. The interactive exhibits engage the minds, muscles and imaginations of children and the big fans who care about them.
Finally, the Phoenix Convention Center will become the NFL Experience, the world’s largest interactive football theme park, from January 24th through February 1st. The experience includes games, displays, entertainment, youth football clinics, free autograph sessions from current and former NFL stars and much more. There will also be nightly fireworks displays, and while you’re down there, snap a pic of your smile in front of the 30-foot tall XLIX letters to show off your smile from your Mesa pediatric dentist.
