The Phoenix Children's Museum is located in the center of Phoenix City. It is a three-story building. Built in 1913, it served as a primary school and other buildings. It was renovated in 2007. There are so many people who have contributed creativity and volunteers to this museum. There are many facilities with contemporary significance and connotation. Their practicality, enlightenment and environmental protection concepts are very worthy of taking children to experience, play, learn and appreciate. The purpose of the museum is to allow children to be the protagonists, to fully affirm themselves, and to inspire their own potential and creativity through the operation of various games and equipment. Most of the amusement equipment here are original, and many of the artworks come from daily necessities. They are unexpected, vivid, and amazing. For example, CDs were collected from 15,000 school children, and old shoes, spoons, forks, clothes, etc. donated by volunteers were used to create a variety of animals and plants, which are not only similar in appearance, but also very vivid. Various musical instruments created using plastic pipes, tools, etc. can also play alternative music. Also, including a small kitchen, a small grocery store, paint imitation, etc., children were allowed to be the protagonists. They were very involved and enjoyed this kind of work process. Children of different ages will find their own world in it, and they all have a great time. Even their parents can enjoy it. It is expected that more and more parents will bring their children to the Children's Museum. The venue also offers space for birthday parties and can even book out the house to celebrate children's birthdays. Deng Chaoju, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Federation, is the only Chinese director of this children's museum. On September 10, Chinese community leaders and Chinese school leaders visited the museum. The curator led everyone to visit and gave special explanations. The atmosphere was warm. Cui Zengqi, chairman of the Senior Citizens Association, told the curator that according to our traditional Chinese culture, those of us in our 60s and 70s are still children minus a year, so we will bring our parents-in-law to visit and study. The curator was very surprised that the Chinese people are very wise in their concept of age. They very much welcome Chinese people to bring their children to visit and play in the museum.
