A lot very helpful people. This was my first time there and there was an event going. It was like a mini comic con. I had a blast.

Always enjoy going here! They often have FREE special events for the whole family! Good way to get out of the heat and its right next to the library.

Nice and quaint, and lots of info about Tempe! I also learned while there that my brother was the first African American officer to reach Lieutenant in Tempe history!

Great place to go and learn about local history. Friendly and helpful staff.

A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT, ALSO MANY EVENTS HELD THERE.

Place was great! very interesting and informative.

It was pretty interesting there was alot of things to see. I kinda wish there was more details with some of the exhibits but thats nothing good ol google can find. But over all it was a pretty informative experience stopping in here.

I like this place because unlike other museums this place is a physical Museum where you can touch some of the stuff and have fun with it

Wow! What a great learning museum for all ages! My 6 year old and I truly enjoyed the museum

The SW corner of Rural Road and Southern Avenue in Tempe has become a real cultural center in the East Valley. Not only is it the location of Tempe Public Library, Vihel Center for the Arts, and Pyle Adult Center, but it is also the home for Tempes new, modern Historical Museum. The Museum offers a walk through Tempes historic, ethnic past set in a modern, colorful building. Exhibits for young and old alike. I especially enjoyed the Hohokam artifacts from Tempes prehistoric days and my wife appreciated the exhibits presenting Arizona State University history. There is an active program for school children and family-friendly performances. Free admission, free parking, and free entertainment.

I like this cozy museum. Its right next to the Tempe Public Library off of Southern Ave and Rural, and theres no charge to get in. The whole museum takes a little over an hour and half hours to walk through (if youre like me and read through all the signs). The people at the front desk are also super helpful and friendly too.I do miss that slanted wooden house thingy they had about 2 (?) years ago. It looks like they took that exhibit away and it was super fun when it was there. I hope the bring it back.

Completely underrated and amazing gem tucked away in Tempe. Staff is great, informative, and just a fun quirky spot

The curator Dan is very nice, and the place is filled with many great pieces of Tempe history. They also host talks and workshops!

Nice place! Filled with many great pieces of Tempe history.

Cool little free museum! Kids liked it, I liked it. Great way to spend an air conditioned afternoon learning about the history and development of the area.

What a great place for all ages. We loved the summer kids craft. Also the interactive stuff they have for kids was awesome. Friendly staff and very clean.

Great museum. Kids learned some stuff and was able to touch some public accessible items like a restored historic vehicle. Id recommend it and handy to watch for events that happen here

Great place to cycle but not good for relaxation.

Really interesting information and cool place. Not very busy, which is nice when on a date or when youre bringing kids.

Amazing place to be and to take your kids to. A lot could be learned from the history of Tempe ! Will go again pretty soon.

Fun and educational with some added hands-on activities to top off the experience.

Went there to vote, it was a nice facility

Great place to kill sometime for free. A lot of great information. Museum was done really well. Very friendly staff.

Loved it so many awesome antiques. will defently go back.

WOW. This place is amazing and beautiful. We did their seasonal self guided tour which took us through all parts of the garden.

Fun Free Museum :) friendly staff and learn fun facts about Tempe

This museum is good for people want to briefly know Tempe.

Was there for a contest.The MC,fell off the stage and several people fell on stage. The steps were not save..I am sure theres a safer way to handle this issue.

Great place, lot if info for youth

Great, it was really interesting to see all the artifacts they had

My kids loved it. Interactive displays.

Nice place to go. Free entry.

Interesting and fun place to enjoy and great for kids!

Clean, free admission, the staff was nice greetings as you arrived. The take donation but its no pressure lots to see great for kids

Great place to take your kids.

Outstanding little museum focusing on the history of Tempe. Free! They also have an exceptional committee that arranges lunchtime lectures and presentations, monthly music groups, and other educational experiences for youth and adults. Did I mention its all free?The building is part of a city complex with a library, art studio, senior center -- plenty of free parking, well lit at night, on bus routes, electric vehicle charge stations, and convenient to the 60 freeway. They now have a raised solar panel array that shades one of the parking lots! Tempe did a great job on this.

Informative and dont forget to try the punching machine

Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful.

Having been born and raised in Phoenix and being an ASU alum, I found the museum to be a treasure trove of the past and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great venue. Edge happy hour is great with local artist. The gallery is always changing the artists on view. Always a great experience.

Fun museum for families. Some neat exhibits and stories of Tempe history, plus its free!

This place is an absolute gem an unbelievably great space for free thank you Tempe

This place is packed a with rich history in pictures and artifacts and if youre lucky there is a lady sitting near the back that has about 150 years of history to share regarding not only Tempe but the State of AZ as a whole... Oh yeah dont forget to check out the gift shop!

Very nice and helpful staff. Amazon place for toddler and up, dress-up, photo sending options, very entertaining. Learning about telegraphs, controlling model trains, they also have summer programs and concerts during the fall. Love the place! Wheelchair and stroller accessible & friendly!

Saw the Arizona Territorial Brass Band tonight. Perfect setting for the history lesson taught along with great music!

The museum actually looks pretty good now that theyve remodeled so much of what used to be here before. I really love it! And I like that its so close to the library.

Great little free museum. Stuff for both kids and adults. Perfect summer hideaway

Too bad Tempe keeps creating more to reminisce about by destroying its downtown history. At least theres a place to gather in mourning.

So adorbs n great for kids

A very pleasant and educational museum, especially if you are a Tempe or valley resident interested in how things evolved here in Tempe.

Cute little history museum for a cute little town

So much fun things for kids to see, do & experience. I learned things about Tempe I never knew before.

This place is always so much fun for the kids, and adults. There is so much to learn about the history of Tempe. There are couple of fun, and interactive displays. Entrance is free to the public. Its a fun little place to visit.

Enjoyed the visit. Met some cool artists.

Took the mother in law here with my wife as my mother in law wished to see it. I was a good sport about it. This is one of the finest Art Museums that I have ever visited! This is basically one mans collection and he had a great eye! So much stuff that it is truly overwhelming. Do not be in a hurry, you will regret it!

Very fun and informative! My kids and I went there on a school field trip and we played bingo and Tempeopoly which is their own version of Monopoly.

Great museum. Staff very knowledgeable. Had a very enjoyable visit!

If you want to know about the Tempe of yesteryear, this is a place to go.

Awesome place for kids i enjoy as a adult as well

Pretty cool little place ... not that big, but it has plenty of history about the community, including local music, and it has a number of interactive exhibits, plus enough for the kids to do that they wont get bored if you want to spend a little extra time - not somewhere youre likely to visit more than a couple times (except maybe for events), but definitely worth checking out

Wonderful place to learn about Tempe!! Love it

Great little gem we recently discovered. My 3 and 1 year olds love it

Even if you been ther before you didnt notice everything ita small but the have more tempe memorabilia than I ever imagined

Great place...tons of fun things to do...child friendly

Great museum with great, modern displays!

My grand kids graduation, 5 yrs oldTo 1st grade

Amazing!

Great place.

Informative and free. I learned a lot.

Had a great time and enjoy it! Very informative, you learn how different cultures came to Arizona and how they work hard and what they had to go through. Had a lot of examples, for you to see.

Ive visited the Tempe Museum for the last 30 years and have always found it an interesting visit. I would like to see less digital content in the Museum since I can experience that everywhere else.

It had photos and things from way back in history.

I love this museum BUT if you do not have children nor particularly like children this may not be the place for you. There is a wonderful childs play area with a stage and truck with play food. Children love it and WILL get loud and excited. There are large areas outside of the kids area where adults can read the exhibits etc, but please be aware that the childs space invites imaginatve, excited play.

Home to the history of my hometown I loved every minute of exploring historical trinkets of watching a small village explode into what it is today.

What an amazing place! You can learn a lot about Tempe, there is kids coner there and it is awesome. Plus it is free!

I went here for Charles Cobbs retirement celebration. Very nice.

Wonderful experience.

I found it very interesting. We made a post card.

Really interesting Museum. Lots of facts and information I didnt know. There is a space for special events. Very clean and organized

Cool stuff in there...check out our first firetruck.

Love this museum! Excellent presentation of Tempes history. Fun with the family . Interactive exhibits and easy to navigate. Highly recommended!

I like it!

Great place to visit

Lots of interesting facts but difficult to read as you have to lean over to see print.

Another really great Tempe treasure. Tons of great information and displays.Take a look, for sure! It is well worth a trip.

Nice place for kids and adults to learn about Tempe A.Z.

Small but really nice museum that is family friendly.

Great place to visit and very clean

Good place to meet up.

A small and free museum where you can learn about the local history. Lots of information, history and culture. Worth the trip.

Went there to kill time while my cousin was at work. Learned a lot about the history of the town and the dynamics of the people.

Special concerts and programs are okay. Not the best, but maybe entertaining to some.

It is small museum but you can have lots of fun in there! And of course learn about Tempe and also about ASU. If you have time to can visit the library. You can get books for a small price.

Cant wait to go back

Great for kids too

I bring my kid here pretty much every time we go to the library. Hidden gem!

A great free museum showcasing Tempes history.

Something to do for 5 mim- hour for freeSomething for kids that are not phonetarded and still have the.ability to seek info, read and observe

This place is so fascinating!! I learned so much about the history of Tempe! Great place for a date!

Great place to stay a while with your kids.They have really a nice kids play eara.
