We know, it’s been a long year, and wanting to explore more of our area seems a bit hard at the moment. Between restrictions and working from home, our options have been limited on where to adventure and figuring out what’s open anymore.
But, during the heat of the pandemic companies and museums have made it possible to tour their exhibits and historical attractions online. Here is a list of our top 4 places you need to check out from the comfort of your own home while still being able to learn as much as you can about Mesa, AZ.
First up, we will be heading to the Arizona Museum of Natural History for a trip around the globe to see nature’s wildlife. They’re located only 24-minutes from our front door if you choose to go in person after experiencing the online version. With exhibits like prehistoric life to Arizona through the time room, you'll find something to check out. They also give guests a sensory guide to help everyone through the museum while not being face-to-face with someone.
If animals or wildlife don't speak to you, how about a virtual tour with the Musical Instrument Museum? This music extravaganza comes complete with rooms of geographic instruments or a conservation lab if your heart leans more to the science aspect of melodies. Their virtual site has interviews for the whole family to watch plus activities and games to participate in!
Does the word car excite you? Then pop on over to Street Car Classics to see the best collectible cars Mesa has to offer. Their Facebook online tour will give you a feel for what our community finds appealing in the car world, and we are sure you’ll find out something new.
Our final recommendation has to go to the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum. Their unique tour will help you explore the WWII war crimes, artifacts, and memorabilia in order to piece together our history and what our military background is. You’ll also be able to see the Arizona desert behind the cockpit from the online visit, so why wouldn’t you explore this museum?
We hope this can lend you a helping hand when figuring out an activity to participate in while relaxing in the comfort of your home.
