Awesome small museum that shares the history of the local indigenous peoples. The place is well maintained and the entrance fee is super reasonable. The exhibits are informative and you see some amazing history. The outside exhibit is interesting as it shows the remains of living dwellings. They have a nice food truck in the parking lot and a little field with a play ground for kids. It was a good time.

We stopped here to check out the ruins and the museum. The museum had more than we expected, and included some really neat artifacts - even a replica of what inside a pit house would look like. They have a junior ranger program for kids 14 and under. Our 11yo had to finish before we could leave so she could say she did it (and she got a fun junior ranger pin). The ruins were cool to look at, but not super expansive. We walked away learning a lot about the people who lived in this area centuries before. Definitely worth the trip out here.

This place was pretty cool. Lots of good information and displays inside. The outside walking tour was nice as it let us see different structures as they would have been used and as they were being uncovered. I think most people will enjoy it.For the record, we drove in while visiting Canyon National Park and the drive alone was worth it. The is a great little cafe a few miles away for lunch and an awesome little coffee shop along the way.

This is an awesome museum to visit if want to learn more about the ancient natives who used to inhabit the area. The museum has lots of pottery, baskets, arrowheads and numerous additional items on display. Be sure to wander out back and view the sites where many of the artifacts were discovered.

A great stop! Park Ranger was very friendly. Small informative museum filled with artifacts gives you a good overview. Outside ruins were a short paved walk behind the museum. Outside dog friendly - on a leash and on the path, of course. Really fascinating history. Nice gift shop and clean bathrooms!

This is a small museum with fascinating ruins in the back. It costs $5 to see both the museum and the excavations in the back. For a small museum it has a lot of cool things: artifacts, videos, interactive stations for kids, and a gift shop. The ruins in the back are really cool, there’s also a replica of an Anasazi structure that you can go into.

The lady at the desk was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She provided my family and I with lots to do and see in the area. The museum itself was very interesting. You can learn a lot about the history of the area and you can also check out the archeological remains of a Native American village. The views on Highway 12 are worth it just to drive here. I'm glad we stopped.

The museum was nice, but small. There is only 2 ruins to see. There is a replica of what they used to look like. We watched a movie about the people who used to live there. If you are in the area then it would be good to see, however I wouldn't drive out of the way to go see it.

A nice museum with many interesting displays of life 800 plus years ago. The dig site is in back of the museum, and gives one an almost spiritual feeling walking around the site. A lot of focus on understanding the past, and maintaining the access for future generations. Also, some great insect/butterfly collections, as well as many arrowheads, spearheads and grinding stones. Highly recommended and engaging for kids of all ages.

Enjoyed walking thru here and learning more about the Anasazi. Staff was very helpful in suggesting books to take back to my first grade students who will be learning about Native Americans shortly. My son also enjoyed working on his Junior Ranger badge.

We have a state parks pass so it was "free" to go here. I don't know that we would have gone if we had to pay. It's a small museum with some ruins behind it. They do have some cool artifacts and the ruins are neat, I'm not sure you get your money's worth if you pay the entry fee though.
