Disclaimer: I was provided the opportunity to visit the Arizona Science Center and Lost Egypt exhibit through a campaign with Blended Extended. All opinions are my own.
You may wonder why I am telling you about this exhibit again… well, guess what?! They are giving away a family four pack of tickets to the Arizona Science Center which means I definitely want to remind you about this awesome exhibit before it leaves for another state!
Mom came back from Disneyland with us so that I wouldn’t have to drive alone (yay, mom!). We filled the week she was here with fun activities to stay out of the heat!
We took a little drive to downtown and showed her the Lost Egypt exhibit. The kids loved it – even the 2nd time! Riley went straight to the “wind” machine to try to cover the pyramid with sand.
They had a wonderful presentation about mummification that Nate really enjoyed! (What is it about eleven year old boys and mummies?)
So, if you haven’t been, get there soon, ok?! The exhibit leaves on September 1st.
Lost Egypt is located in the Sybil B. Harrington Galleries on Level 3 of Arizona Science Center.Â
The exhibition will be open between May 31 and Sept. 1, 2014. Tickets are $26.95 (adult),Â
$23.95 (senior) and $19.95 (child), which include general admission. Arizona Science CenterÂ
members are able to enter for $8 (adult) and $6 (child).

Wow I have not heard of this amazing exhibit! Thank you for sharing!!!
My daughter would love this she is always interested in learning about new things, and since she is starting school this year this would be a fun treat to celebrate her starting school.
we love the science museum and have not seen the new exhit. It looks fun.
My boys would love to go and hear about the mummies!
I went to the science center on a field trip with my son and he LOVED it! I know he’d really enjoy this new exhibit and he’d love to share his experience at the Science Center with his sisters – they haven’t been yet! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
My grandparents visited Egypt when I was a child and I feel very fortunate to have the many souvenirs they got while they were there. This was on our list to do this summer but the few times we went it was so busy we didn’t go. Glad you and your family were able to enjoy it twice.
I’ve always had a love of history and Egypt. My son has shown such an interest in museums and history too. I’d love to pass on the interest.
We’d love to learn more about ancient Egypt!
The Lost Egypt exhibit sounds like it is really amazing. My daughter would love it.She is really into ancient Egypt since learning about it in school last year. This would be a great treat for her if I won.
