Take Your Class to the Arizona Science Center Without the Parking Headache
These trips to the Arizona Science Center (600 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) are a perennial favorite for Gilbert schools — but coordinating a caravan of parent vehicles into downtown Phoenix is a logistical nightmare no teacher should have to manage.

Buses drop off at Heritage Square, entering from North 6th Street, with vehicle parking available at the nearby Heritage and Science Park Garage on 5th Street and Monroe Street — advance arrangements are recommended for large groups.
