  • Affordable entrance fee and plenty of exhbits about the area from natural to cultural history. There are some authentic souvenirs to buy. The staff are really nice too.
  • Great Museum and piece of Nevada/SW USA/Native American history. Cheap entrance fee for an easy hour of information and entertainment. Check out the two video screenings. Excellent collection of preserved pottery. Gift store & clean restroom inside.
  • Not a very large museum, but the objects were excellently curated and give a good sense of how the locals lived centuries ago. You can't go into the reconstructed pit houses behind the main building, but they are an accurate representation of ancient housing. Altogether a very nice local museum.
  • Definitely a lost treasure, if you happen to be in the area of valley of fire you should definitely check this place out, the people are so welcoming and it has so many historical pieces Inside! Definitely will be bringing our daughter back!
  • Friendly staff. Free for those under 18 years old. Otherwise it's $5/person. It's a quick stop. You need about 30 minutes to see everything. There is some neat history of the area. Lots of information to take in. There is a full sized model Pueblo as it would have looked 1000 years ago.
