Tempe Time Machine rolls back into town low, slow, and full of glow! This summer we’re cruising through Ranfla Vida—celebrating the art, history, and culture of lowriders. Kids and their grownups will dive into a world of color, creativity, and engineering with hands-on crafts, stories, activities, and special guests. Each week brings a new theme, from music and personal style to metalwork, retro car culture, and the science of hydraulics. 

Experience how culture, imagination, and STEM come together in lowrider traditions—plus a special Tempe Time Machine surprise you won’t want to miss! Join us Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June 3–July 15. Admission is free and registration is not required. Designed for ages 3–12, but fun for all ages.
