Reviews of Pueblo Grande Museum (Museum)

Gene Tognetti

Very interesting historical site. Enjoyed the additional info provided out in the site. Not too much info, but what was there added value. Short video worth watching too. Gift shop so so. People working at the site were helpful and friendly. Mysterious ending to the Hohokam tribe... What happened to them is unknown.

Lewis Greene

This was the museum I ended up visiting during the Smithsonian's Free Museum Day back in September 2017. For that, I got free admission for myself and one other person. Overall, I liked the museum enough. A lot of what you'll see in the exhibits inside reminds me of what you'd see at the Heard Museum or possibly at some of the NPS sites (especially Casa Grande Ruins N.M.) It's walking outside and seeing the actual ruins the mselves that makes the experience most enjoyable. For the most part, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this museum, especially on free admission days. Now, I wouldn't recommend this over something like Heard or Phoenix Art if you only have time for one of the three. Having said that, it's great for people of all ages. I would say that this would probably be more child-friendly than Heard, and potentially at a lower price. There might even be more educational opportunity for the kids (compared to Heard), especially about local history.

Tiara Nestel

Excellent exhibits with a rebuilt village site and great interpretive trail. I would highly recommend this museum to all who want to know more of the history of the area.

Tracey Herpy

Great staff! .....wonderfully taken care of and, very educational......a "must visit" cultural site.

Shakeel Zafar

Great visit to see the history behind the area and the kids loved seeing the exhibit and the outside walk.

Chuck Enright

Went here for an afternoon presentation about modern native artistry. Great time, nice facility, and terrific staff.

Kelly Grote

This was very neat! It's crazy how much archeologists can know! Loved the artifacts. :) definitely you get a LOT for your money!

Jessica Miller

Great small museum. They provided a free umbrella as sun protection for the trail which was a nice touch. Friendly customer service.

Jazmin Mascorro

I was lucky enough to stop by on “Ancient Technology” day. Cute, little museum with a lot of neat artifacts. The exterior is the best part. Make sure you check out the ball court. As part of ancient technology day I tried to throw the Atlatl. I’m not really the best with the spear but it was fun. I would recommend.

Michel Brown

We attend the Indian market held at the museum each year in December. Well crafted and beautiful jewelry, pottery and carvings are available for purchase from Indian artisans.

Seth Schreffler

Great museum with many fantastic exhibits featuring Hohokam artifacts. This site even contains a nice loop trail in which you can follow the Hohokam through their historical epochs which are represented through housing structures and even a ball pit.

Chris Mandell

I'm a resident of Phoenix, lived here pretty much for all my life. Never knew that this place was here. Such a great surprise.

Katherine Cubbison

Definitely a must see if you’re into local Native American history. We had so much fun! Most of it is walking around outside, so maybe plan to visit in the cooler months. They also have “OFF-SEASON “ hours which start around the beginning of Summer. Always call or check online about their hours if you plan to go, or if it’s going to be warmer just plan to go early in the day before it gets too hot outside. Also, their gift shop closes between 1pm-2pm in some days. My mom was looking for a book or something to take back home and couldn’t. No problem, just a heads up to future visitors.

Ashley Marlin

Beautiful spot. Great for kids. Affordable. Good parking on site.

Amber Jones

Took a field trip here of 1st and 2nd graders who are arudying AZ History. Great docent, everything was organized, price was amazing.

lencho diaz

This museum was small and not much to see.. The ancient ruins are pretty much gone..The service was good and cheap.

Reed Higgins

Very interesting. A lot of info on natives in this area.

Barbara Zuczek

This museum and archaeology site is a pride of Phoenix. My husband and I volunteer there and recommend that others investigate doing the same. There are many areas to volunteer your time such as giving tours to school children, sales representative in the gift shop, and working with artifacts. Please call the museum for more information on volunteering or becoming a member. Thank you.

Terry Kennedy

Love this museum. When I'm in Arizona, I visit everytime!

Jasmine

Honestly not that much to see and do as it's a small museum, but it's okay. If are visiting during the warmer months, I HIGHLY recommend that you use the umbrellas that are offered to you. The hike is small but can wear on those who are sensitive to heat. The umbrellas do a great job at blocking some of the heat.

Ashley Powell

Hints for your visit to this awesome museumVery well laid out and very informative. It is amazing to see the remnants of a tribe that flourished 1000 years ago in the desert by ingeniously diverting water from a local river. The whole place is handicap accessible. Kids and adults will find this place interesting.Hint 1: Grab an umbrella to block the sun. It is a short distance, but there are many stops, so you can easily be outside over an hour.Hint 2: Check with the workers at the desk where you pay your admission. They are an excellent resource for planning your visit.Hint 3: Bring plenty of water. Although you can occasionally find shade under one of several ramadas, you will be walking in the sun for at least an hour.Hint 4: Plan on about 2-3 hours for your visit.The only bad part is that the whole museum is located in the city and is surrounded by office buildings, railroad tracks and planes landing at the airport. Other than that, this place is great.

Ivanova Helf

It was very informative & organized. All my family enjoyed it!

Bianca Freitas

Nice museum for school field trip. Lots of information on the Hohokam and early Arizona history. Very cool to see the ruins.

Vanessa Glady

This museum is close to the heart of Phoenix and it reminds us that this same area was home to the Native Americans as well. Take the tour of the canals and imagine what it must have been like to have built them with the tools they had. There is a map on the inside of the building which shows where many of the pueblos have been found and think about how closely modern culture has built in the same areas. The large pueblo and surrounding structures offer us an insight to how they lived. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. The activities and lectures are interesting and well worth the trip!

Spencer Tolman

Very interesting, so unique to see ruins so close to a metropolitan area.

Dan Lewis

Definitely worth the six bucks. The production value on the videos in the lobby are pretty low and quite a bit old. But, not much has changed since I first came here in the 80s as a kid. If you have any interested in Phoenix history or native American lore, this site is an absolute must-see. I seem to remember being able to see more of the site, but stabilization of the archaeological relics is a necessity, so you can't really see much here.

Devion May

It was a fun, historical place to visit. The staff was friendly and the gift shop was awesome.

Ed Balija

Very interesting and informative.

Pam Sink

My son and his classmates had fun on their field trip.

Katrina Canon

Don't go when there is a field trip. Learned a lot otherwise.

M J

Amazing little gem inside a very busy area of the city. Could be improved with more interactive exhibits and artifacts but worth the value admission.

Emilie Allen

This museum and archaeological park is in the midst of the City of Phoenix (close by is the airport). It is an interesting and informative exhibit for all ages, about the life Hohokam people from AD 950 to AD 1450. The museum has indoor exhibits and an outside archaeological village which you follow through pathways. It’s so interesting to see how life was so many years ago. As one exhibit expressed - the Hohokam lived among the mountains surrounding Phoenix, that still exist today. It takes about 1-2 hours to absorb the museum and well worth the time for a step back into history..

Juan Hickman

Often, at least in the NY area, Indian sites are just displays of modern art with some Indian themed knick-knacks - little if any context. Here, as one explores the grounds, you are walking on the actual site to see the interaction with man and land. Inside, the musuem helps but the locale into a holistic view to see the culture and history as a true living entity. I wish more Indian sites followed this format. Excellent resource to study this culture.

Erica Hamilton

We did the tour , very great price , interesting information , unbelievable ruins

Judith Prenner

The outdoor trail is hot, but worth it if you are interested in archeology

Chris Goff

An outstanding and well-designed museum to learn about the pre-history of the Maricopa area. Exhibits and reconstructions of ruins and dwellings, explanations of their cultures and technologies being the past to life. Brutally hot in the summer, but a perfect visit for families the other three seasons.

Anita Howell

Great place. Go now it will be 2 hot next week lol

etta hodge

Enjoyed Every Moment

Guy Caldwell

Nicely keep place to see and learn some history of the area

Pamela L

It is worth visiting if you are into archaeological digs. If not, skip it. If you decide to go, bring a bottle of water with you and take a museum umbrella with you for the sun. There is absolutely no shade. Walking is flat and can be easily done within an hour. Things are well displayed and the museum staff is friendly and cordial. Bathrooms are clean. There is a small museum gift shop.

K. Jones

Very interesting how things were done and how people lived.

Richard Sicher

This is a city run museum that documents Hohokam dwelling site near Salt River. There is a large mound, ball court and collections of pottery, etc. Takes about one hour or so.

Shirl Price

Got there shortly before closing and was not rushed

Arlee Taylor

Interesting place to learn about the indigenous people of the area. Helpful staff. Was happy to be supporting the cause.

Tara D La O Garcia

Pueblo Grande has a great kids storytelling program on Saturday mornings in June. I highly recommend it for kids 8 or younger. They listen to a local author read his/her book, eat a snack, and then complete craft projects related to the book for only $5 per child!

John and Kate Hagenbuch

This was the perfect place to visit with my 10-13 year old kids. We enjoyed the views outside. They provide umbrellas to block the sun!!!

Colleen Gerber

This is a great place at a great price, especially if you have time before a flight

Nicole Edison

It's nice museum if you wish to explore further than the building with AC my recommendation is to come in winter months.

Marjean Allen

Interesting museum. Good admission price, It is so cool that this place has been preserved in the middle of the city.

Sharon Guzman

It was nice inside but we couldn't enjoy the outside trail because it was too hot! We turned back and went inside!

Upal Mahbub

Got to learn a lot about the Hohokam tribes. This place took me back a thousand years. Really fascinating!

Norman Harai

Pueblo Grande Museum is on the national register of historic places. It was the home of the Hohokam people. The bas relief map of their canal system is absolutely astonishing. That it is situated within close proximity to the airport and on the light rail line with lots of free parking makes it convenient to get to. I highly recommend that it be included in any visit to Phoenix.

Trucker Gil

Take a trip into the past. Do some sky gazing. If you're lucky you will catch a show. Navajo veterans day celebration was electrifying. Bring an umbrella for the sun and some sun block.

Patrick McGuire

Really neat place in the center of town. We spent 2 hours here and could have spent more - lots of cool information. There is a little gallery for kids but I know I would have a hard time keeping my 5 year old off the ruins - maybe this is just for the grown ups. Anyway, well run, well organized, interesting and unique. Check it out.

Michael Knoll

Wow! I've lived in Phoenix almost 30years and I didn't know this place existed. It was fascinating to see the introductory video and then stroll the path that wends it way through the archieologicol dig. The museum indoors explains further the history of the site. A must see for anyone interested in pre Colombian America.

Judith Lee

It's a municipal museum dedicated to archeological history. There is a small indoor gallery which is somewhat interesting for young kids, but the good stuff is all outside. Outside is a path which takes you around a building that was excavated. The building was built by the Hohokam hundreds of years ago. There is a winding path with plaques that explain different aspects of their history and the excavation. All of this is really fascinating - for adults who are into that kind of thing. Our 6 year old was nonplussed place, but if you are interested in history or archeology you should definitely check it out.

Michelle Cintron

Very nice experience! Great location, lots to learn, interesting. Got discounted tickets at the visitors center across the street from our hotel, the Hyatt. Paid 2 tickets for the price of one. Great deal and experience!

Michael Crow

I liked it a lot! I just went during June so the mound emitted heat, along with the sun beating down on me. Luckily for me the umbrellas profided blocked the sun and made it so the sun wouldn't be so hot. Sadly though I had to leave early as I had ran out of my water supply, I was also a little tired. I would totally recommend going to the Pueblo Grande Museum, not only are you able to see and walk around the ruins, you can watch an imformational video on Pueblo Grande, walk trhough a room with more imformation on the natives that inhabited Pueblo Grande, and lastly another room with a table that has pieces of wood (it looked like wood)that you can build you're own little city.

Fany Selen

What a waste a time! I was bored out of my mind.

pongchan daoratanahong

For person who loves history

Justin Heap

Great archaeological site -even better was the small, indoor museum. Pretty slow pace, basically located RIGHT near the airport, though.

Kathy Thompson

Very informative. You can squeeze in a quick visit in the way to the airport.

Janet Garden

Love learning history

Eddie Reyes

I'm a native born and raised in east Phoenix finally had a chance to visit just for the simple fact that I got tired of looking at the sign every time I passed by not impressed not at all you would fine a lot more information and enjoyment if you visit places like the Montezuma's Castle or Casa Grande ruins I do not recommend this place at all waste of time and money

Adam Barnes

This place is fun and informative. If you're wanting to learn and see first hand the vestiges of the Hohokam culture and are not willing or able to hike in the Sonoran desert then this is a must visit archeological site. We as a modern culture owe so much of what we do and our knowledge to the desert peoples before us and it's ironic how similar things are now to 800AD. The site is rather small compared to how large the experts speculate it was at one point but it's fun to walk around and imagine what it was like here. Most of the structures are eroded due to not being occupied for hundreds of years but it's easy to see the engineering prowess that these people had. It's a self-guided walk that allows for an extended stay. Information plaques are festooned in various locations to assist with interpretation of the site. There is a reproduction of some ancient living quarters, some petroglyphs, various types of desert flora, and a small garden. The gift shop is all a must see.

John Runyan

Amazing what the natives had going on so long ago!

Ayde Caballero

It is a very big museum with places for both kids and adults. It also has a lot of information for all ages.

bassdoc

It was a very interesting Museum experience. Also the walk outside through all the ruins was very informative. What the people did back then with their technology was amazing.

Jo DuBois

We really enjoyed learning some of the history of Arizona.

Jock Orr

This is a nice little museum. It's small but is very thorough and provides a lot of information on the prehistoric native American population of Arizona. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this to fill a couple of hours of your day in Phoenix.

Bobby and Sally Bobby and Sally

Features both outdoor and indoor exhibits of the Hohokam people that populated the area for over a thousand years. Best to go early, we went in the afternoon and it was super hot as there is almost nowhere to get out of the sun. The indoor exhibits are very good and the staff is very informative. Gift shop is well stocked and inexpensive.

Kevin Delvalle

This Pueblo Grande site is one of the best Hohokam ancient sites. The archaeologists have done a remarkable job of preserving and protecting one of the most incredible Native American sites in the country. The museum is very good, and there’s a trail that allows you to see the site up close. The gift shop has some legitimate Hopi Katchina dolls for a good price. This is a great visit.

tracy schumacher kanno

Such an amazing site! Archaeological site that you can tour and get a feel for how they lived, the canals they built and their way of life.

Angel Ortiz

The staff were very nice. I asked if there was a discount available for tribal members and they said it was completely free for tribal members! Very accurate information all over the museum since I am from the Gila River Indian Community. Sapo.

Jerome Rosenthal

A wonderful place to visit if you are staying in Phoenix. The museum staff were not only friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about works of Indian tribe who had once inhabited the area of today museum.

Katrina Workman

Great little park & museum. Extremely friendly & knowledgeable staff/volunteers.

Micha Mayotte

Very neat spot, a great opportunity to learn about some of the first peoples who populated this area. There's a short outdoor trail, as well as indoor exhibits and a children's area. Cute little gift shop, too, with lots of desert pride souvenirs. Free children's admission!

Tim in Colorado

Nicely done archeological site with good, short introductory movie and small but adequate interpretive display. Good for 1 to 1 1/2 hour informative visit.

John Determan

FCC. A must see Phoenix site. Great place for learning about local native history.

H Nk

Amazing staff. Wonderful park. And amazing artifacts lots of info.

Kathe Velasco

Yes, beautiful natural cultural artifact

Fred Bailey

I learned how to survive In the desert And some of Arizona's history I really enjoyed it I would definitely take my kids and go there if I had kids even if I didn't have kids I would go there for the survival skills I learned

Sylvia Mata

I was impressed with the archeological site and how it has been preserved. I also was amazed that a whole civilization of people's occupied the area thousand of years ago and the way the good job the museum did presenting the story. The museum and site is right next to the airport and a few miles outside of downtown Phoenix.

Manish Mishra

I got 2.5 hrs of lay over time at Phoenix and search for near by places and got this as a best bet. Took the airport train got down in 3-4 min and it's located just other side of the road.It was worth a short visit as a lot of information provided through a small but smart gallery. Staff was cooperative and guided me personally considering the limited time I had.

stephanie moceri

My family enjoyed this very much. Even my three year old nephew had a good time! I learned a lot and the facility was well kept. I recommend going at least once!

Joe Jackson

Informative, interactive museum offering a a look back at a way of life displaced by modern encroachment. Friendly and helpful staff.

Keith Stanford

Very interesting, somewhat small, museum. Good way to spend part of an afternoon.

Kirk Howard

We will definitely go back, great exhibits and very friendly staff.

Bob Bianconi

A historic excavated Indian village dating back to before Christopher Columbus.

Carole Martin

This is an ancient site dating from 450 AD. Truly amazing. Includes a ballpark! There is an indoor museum and an outside museum. There is also a small, but good gift shop. Close to Sky Harbor Airport and many eating places. Museum very active with good programs and excellent speakers.

Kenneth Jacket

Leared the history of the area. An the people.

Inez Boyd

Located near Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix ,Arizona, is a small but interesting museum about the Hohokam culture which has an archeological site .It has in outdoor part with the archeologic excavations and recreations of different kind of native- American dwellings , and the indoor part with a theater showing a short movie about the site, then three rooms with exhibits of native American culture .The staff and volunteers were very helpful and welcoming during our visit.

Robert Gil

Nice thing to do.

Andrew Ng

The museum is sited at a archaeological site of the Hohokam people who lived in the area. A fascinating piece of history of the indigenous folks here. The museum looks to cater more for younger people, with some interactive displays and simple to understand videos. The walk along the pueblo's remains are interesting - but would benefit from more interpretive signage. The feel that we would have liked to see more of how the Hohokam lived either through mock-ups on the re-created areas of as dioramas didn't quite materialise. Overall, a nice experience.

Kelsey Page

Cool little museum and very interesting ruins to check out. They've done a good job with the trail with lots of details about different points in history at the site.

Josie Flores

Weather was nice, I enjoyed looking. It's time to renew the information stakes, some are unreadable at the moment.

Ivelisse Gonzalez

Interesting and informative. Staff really took the time to answer our questions. I was dIsappointed to see some trash accumulation in the displays outside. "Modern" disrespect to history.. It is worth the trip.

Amber Kay

Love this place! Great for family and friends! Awesome place to vacation (and live)!

Tania Gerard

We went on a school field trip. The guides kept the children engaged and they got to touch and try some of the tools the Hohokam people used.

amy penkalski

A very interesting place to visit

Tracy Owen-Jones

I went there in the early 80’s as a kid. I’m taking my nephews there when they’re old enough to understand the importance of the Hohokam people and their ingenious canal system that is in continued use in present day.

amir khamesi

Very good place to learn many things about history of native Americans with very clean site and friendly staff. We learned many things and enjoyed of good presentations. For sure I recommend this place for people who travel to Arizona.

Brenda Edge

Very nice walk with learning opportunities

Christine Shields

Fantastic close up looks at 1500 yearvoldarcheological site left by Hohokum culture. Largest preserved sides in Phoenix area. Walking the sites and seeing how this culture lived was amazing. A must see if you love history. Outdoor walking sites get hot especially April thru Sept so bring lots of cold water to keep yourself cool while wandering the dogs. Indoor museum was well done and informational. Staff pleasant and welcoming. Fees inexpensive, 5.00 ..with senior discounts too.

Philemon Spencer

Great museum and displays. We enjoyed the children's area thoroughly. Nice paved walkways through the archeology site. The remains are less well preserved than sites like Tutzigoot.

Ryan

Great place for a family trip.

Brynn Murray

Just finished touring the museum; lovely experience! Absolutely incredible that such an ancient site exists so close to the airport. The walking area is larger than you expect but completely manageable, and the ruins are amazing. The interior museum is engaging and informative, and cost of admission is cheap. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves history or wants to spend an hour or so walking about.

Edie Loveless

Great place for kids to learn about the history of Phoenix and surrounding towns and people who lived before us!!

Amira Davis

Neat little place to visit.

Josh Maurer

Cool place to see, if your into that kind of stuff. Well laid out.

Deanna Trapp-Lyons

I have learned so much about Hohokam lifestyle and culture! They had some really good reading materials and activities to do with the children, and the trail leads a nice half hour (or however long you want to take) to walk and get some exercise and learn about some Arizona history! Just think... our ancestors from over 1000 years ago have seen the same mountains we see everyday and our descendants of 1000 years from now will too!

Alejandro Rios

Great little known about museum. Not too big but still an interesting look at some of the true beginnings of the city of Phoenix. The canals the Hohokam built were massive and laid the groundwork for some of the canals we use to this day!

Vinne T.

Was very informative. Has interactive exhibits. You are able to your self.

Derek Miltimore

An incredible walk through a piece of NATIVE history

Patrick Bevis

Cost $6. Right at the end of the airport skytrain. Pretty outdoor park. Fairskins should note Outdoor examination of the ruins puts you in full sun for a mile walk. Good for an hour if you like archeology. Indoor section is aircondioned and has bathrooms. Lots of exhibits and good information on the ancient canals.

Char Landes

Interesting and educational

Hyper Fortnite

Wonderful place that I did not know it was there

Tracy Williams

Unusual museum since there is more outdoors than in. Be prepared to walk a lot to see the outside ruins. It is interesting but beware of when you go. Hot weather will make it unpleasant for you. They provide umbrellas to shield you from the sun, but since the trails are paved, you get hot from feet up.

Alex Maselli

Very interesting museum. Loved learning about the Hohokam tribe.

Shirley Smith

I went there new to area and was treated very nice. Got some wonderful gifts in gift shop not bad prices there as well as admission price. Too bad more could have been saved long ago. Thank you

Marifer Murillo

Great experience!

Peter Sephton

Excellent demonstion of how people thrived in the area over 1,000 years ago

Sarah Trone

A “must see” for Phoenicians or visitors of our great state. Museum presents insightful history of the Hohokam people, the Arizona canals, and current archaeology studies. Moreover, one should truly consider how such a site could still be preserved & exist given the statement that this sight was inhabited over 800 years ago and the people used natural resources indigenous to the area to build this area. Perhaps, I’ll consider building with mud, water, cactus spine, & calcium carbonate when I relocate next.

Kathy Komatz

Very well done visitor center and walking loop thru the ruins. Note that the trail is accessible. Great learning experience for adults and kids.

Susan Stonitsch

Excellent museum showing ancient Hohokom artifacts and excavated village. Be aware of the air quality as the museum is adjacent to Sky Harbor Airport if you are sensitive or have COPD and related illnesses. Neither of us have issues but were nauseous because of the high concentration of CO from the airport. We were fine as soon as we left the area. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Also, entry fee is very affordable.

Delbert Gibson's

Just hiking by this museum. No time to explore it today.

Kara Amundson

Unforgettable. This is a testament to what human beings can do... And a window into Pre-Columbian America. Amazing. This was the second time I've gone. The first time was a fluke when I was stranded in Phoenix a few blocks away, & walked there to break up my day. This time, my family was in town & I made sure all seven of us went. It's a truly special place... And inexpensive, too. Just $6 to get in.

Christopher Painter

Neat place with tons of history.

Colleen Lawson

Very well done museum and archeological site. Self tour easy to follow, and gives a great insight to Phoenix's past. Glad we took the time to stop in, and highly recommend it, especially for visitors to the area.

Bill Smith

The staff was very friendly and informative. Nice to have a staff member out on trail to explain to us the various sites.

Edward Andrada

A little known quiet space in the middle of a metropolis. Walk, observe, read, view and learn as you are overcome with a sense of history of which you were unaware.

Kevin Sekakuku

One of AZ's hidden gems! A must for ppl who like to learn about native history. Ful of history and even ruins to show how they lived!

Emily Camden

Great knowledgeable volunteers, because AZ history is important.

Adam Kraatz

Very interesting. I didn't even knew the place existed before now.

Gwen Kowalski

Very interesting.

adamkg321

Good information and context given. Seemed to have few things to choose from to do. If you're very fascinated by ancient cultures and civilizations like me then it's great. If you're not then you'll likely be bored much of the time.

Courtney Larry

It was pretty neat seeing remnants of an ancient civilization.

Nora Walker

This amazing ancient Hohokam village is well presented and fun to see, for adults and kids -- right below the Sky Harbor flight path. Be sure to check the website for special events. There is a modest charge: $3 for kids, $5 for seniors, $6 for adults. Depending on activities that day, you could spend 90 minutes to 4 hours. No food sold there so you might want to bring some. The gift shop had some nice Indian pottery and things for the kids. Free parking.

Brent S

Very interesting. We learned a lot.

Aaron Hammer

Interesting that we had a large population of natives that dug all of our aquaducts by hand. 30ft wide by 20ft deep in some parts, and it was all done by hand. Then they just disappeared without a trace.

Morgan Storms

Ancient Technology Day was an amazing place to take my daughter. The museum did a great job. They also had activities and a four waters tour.

gayle litty

Very interesting and learned about history

Justin Atkinson

Very interesting segment of early American Indian history for the Phoenix area river basin

Paige Clayton

Great place to learn why and how people survived long ago.

Larry Morden

It is a nice museum. But the structures not very impressive. More vegetation along the trails would help. Also, a lot more could be done with the Cross Cut Canal; it is not every where in Phoenix where you have flowing water like that. You could make some minor improvements to make it a asset to the property. I think there actually needs to be more information on the trail. It is really an achievement what the Hohokam built here long ago.

G. M.

What a little gem in downtown Phoenix! Some great history and archeology. There's a wonderful small museum with many artifacts and a children's room and a gift shop. There's also a community event room which had a pottery artist that was amazing and Weaver's with rugs, also very beautiful. A very pleasant and informative afternoon well spent- two thumbs up

Mushkatel&becker Pllc

Great but do not go during the summer. Very hot very little shade. The museum is also interesting

Ervin Anderson

Nice place to learn about historic settlement. An interpretive guide would make it more real.

Steve Swanson

Very cool prehistoric architecture and fascinating exhibits. Do tour the outside!

Alex Ramirez

Very different to your typical pueblo.. nice way to spend a couple of hours learning.

diane berdych

Well kept grounds

calicopoet

A hidden gem in Phoenix, AZ. About a mile walk through ruins of old Native American village. Also a small museum with many artifacts. Very user friendly and well maintained. Good for children and adults.

sandra rojas

Great small museum ! But i do recommend if you do have small children take an umbrella up front of the entrance . Also , they start charging 5 and over So just in case if you have 6 year olds. Be aware they do start charging at that age. Other than that i mean it was a great experience. :)

Charles Clark

This should be a must see destination to understand more about the area.

Beverly Leinbach

Very interesting. Glad we came back to see more.

Micky Jabba

The museum gives a good and informative view on the history of the sight. The is mainly very friendly.

Dorothy Bodeker

I really loved the experience of walking around Pueblo Grande. It is a trip back in time in the middle of the city. While the adults enjoyed it a lot, it wasn't something our 5 and 9 year olds were ready to appreciate. However, for history lovers, this is a must!

T T

Great place. Learned a ton about a lost civilization. Genuinely surprised about what they were able to accomplish. Definitely worth the visit. Use the free umbrellas at the door!!!
