Impressive all around! I only had 1hr to explore this museum. Ideally you need 3-4hrs to truly appreciate what this museum has to offer. From the history of instruments to different cultures, this museum showcases it very well. I highly recommended it if you're in Scottsdale.

I never knew there was this amazing museum in Phoenix. This incredible experience is truly a treasure and was one of the highlights of my trip. The displays are all fun to see and the audio experience works great. I feel like I learned a ton and had fun exploring so many different types of music and cultures. I definitely need to come back here with my wife and kids.

The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix AZ is an excellent overall museum experience. The physical building and its layout is not only architecturally beautiful, but its interior is perfectly designed to display the large number musical artifacts in its collection. The quality and cleanliness of its items is also outstanding. The curators of this museum should be very proud of their accomplishment. You should go out of your way to visit and for the best experience, plan on a two day visit. My wife and I will be back.

Amazing! If your wondering if you should visit, the answer is yes! What a great museum! Clean, bright, well laid out, easy to follow. You will get a clean pair of headphones that play all the video clips showing on the screens in each display. We spent 4.5 hours here, our kids enjoyed it too. Their favorite was the Experience Room where you can play a variety of instruments. We also were lucky enough that we caught an impromptu concert in the patio by the Navy Southwest Brass Band.
The museum was packed, but never felt crowed. Other then a few annoying people shouting conversations out loud, it was a great overall experience. Staff were all super kind and friendly. Great value!
