Musical Instrument Museum Concerts 2025-2026

This is a wonderful experience for ALL ages!!! The Experience Exhibit is a fantastic room where children and adults can play with many of the instruments seen throughout the museum. Highly recommend stopping if you're looking for an, at your own pace, adventure. Almost all of the exhibits provide attendees the ability to listen to and see the instruments being played in their natural environment. For listening, the museum provides the wireless receiver and wired headset. We spent almost three hours here!!!

WOW! Blown away by the attention to detail and inclusivity of musical instruments from all around the world, even Fiji!! My friend and I have been to a lot of museums and this is easily one of our favorites. The headset audio is really great and I loved the use of video education to supplement the instruments. We spent four+ hours enjoying ourselves. Grateful for the experience!

If you have the time and are interested in music, you need to see this place. The museum is very large and they have a huge collection of musical instruments from around the world. They cover every continent and country and culture regarding instruments used. They also have snippets of the music from every area. We spent 3 hours here and could have spent more time if permitted. Highly recommend.

This was our favorite attraction on our trip to Scottsdale! It’s only a half hour away in Phoenix and a must see for a music lover! They have an extensive collection of instruments from all over the world and from famous music composers and musicians. It’s a guided audio tour so you can listen to the music and sounds of the instruments and various cultures while you watch the monitors. It was such a fun learning experience. They have some instruments downstairs for you to try to play and helpful guides throughout. We were there for 3 hours and felt like we could have stayed longer to finish it all. One guide told us the whole tour is 6 hours. Well worth the price! There’s also regular concerts held in their music hall. We weren’t able to see one the week we were in town but next time we come I’d check their schedule for that experience. They also have exhibits that change like the acoustics feature now. We had such a great time here we would definitely come back again

This is a great musical instrument with music from around the world. It is a bit overwhelming. I would suggest seeing a few places around the globe, taking a break, and jumping back in. What do they have? Free parking, picnic area, restaurant, gift shop, multiple rooms where you can listen to music, read the posts, and look at the instruments from all over the world and different time periods. From African ancient music to Price and Elvis. There is a room to play a variety of musical instruments and you can even ring a big Gong! We got a bonus as a worker at the gift shop, who taught us how to use the sounding bell thing (already forgot the name, but they use it in yoga today). I would 100% recommend buying tickets in advance. There were many kids' tours going through (not MIM lead), literally, only one adult leading the tour was extremely loud. We avoided him, which made it more enjoyable. Check it, listen to some music, learn some history, enjoy life.
