Let’s rev up the fun and wrap up Transportation Month with the Museum’s annual CARnival—an epic, all-day car show for kids! Head to the North parking lot for a close-up look at an exciting lineup of vehicles, including police cars, trucks, jeeps, and more. It’s a racing good time you won’t want to miss!

ADMISSION: This event is free with paid Museum admission of $19.00 per person.

Our incredible array of vehicles and vendors includes:

· Arizona Bus Club – bringing upwards of 10 VW buses

· Arizona Face Painting – a Visualize Creativity Co

· Caricature Artist

· Delish On the Go

· Girl Scouts’ Devin Booker Bus

· Jose ‘El Grinch’ lime green Jeep

· Jurassic Park Motor Pool

· Phoenix Fire Department

· Phoenix PD K-9 Transit Vehicles with canines

· Phoenix Raceway

· Valley Metro Bus

Attendees will be able to grab a bite from the Museum’s Delish Café, which will move outdoors for the day with burgers, chips, and drinks available for purchase. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the Café’s full menu inside the Museum.

PARKING: The Museum offers free on-site parking; however, on particularly busy days like this one, our lot tends to fill up quickly. Please plan accordingly.
