Reviews of Lost City Museum (Museum)

Belem Morales

A must see

Angie Douglas

A very nice little museum. If you are in the area and have an extra hour this is worth a visit. The building itself was constructed by the CCC in the 30s. This was worth the time and $5 to visit. Not a destination in itself but a nice addition to a tour of the area.

A Man Going His Own Way

Very small museum. More of a local museum. But has a lot of artifacts from the native peoples.

KC Freels

Quaint history museum near Lake Mead. Very nice collection of publeo artifacts.

Claire White

Great little museum about the Moapa Valley region and the Lost City Pueblo Grande culture. Tour takes about 30-45 mins depending on how much you read, etc. There are two 15-minute videos, too.

This is a nice museum, simple, informative, and well-thought-out. It would have been nice if it was actually some of the traditional original native homes instead of a setup of the dig site.

Jeff Wright

Short and sweet yet informative and a breath of fresh air. Too bad this wasn't taught in classrooms like it used to be.

Vernon Robison

Amazing place!

Judie Pokakaa

Today we got in free but it is usually just $5. There is lots of information. It is very interesting information. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

crystal norris

Very informative and well organized. Great collection of artifacts.

Mary Quimby

Lots of very interesting displays. Very nice people there.

The Scarred Actress

It's a rather small museum, you can easily go through it in an hour so it makes a great road trip stop. Very interesting, a lot of artifacts with a few things thrown in that seem to have little to do with the actual lost city.

Manuel Calzada

Knowing the story of a town it's always a plus. It increase you're own knowledge.

Jason Burtz

It's worth the 5 bucks to get in. I was in the area.. if I'd traveled far to see it.. I'd have been a little less enthusiastic about it. I was far more impressed with the outdoor structures you can see for free.

Jennifer Harris

Cool place to go and learn a little history great for the family!

alex gonzalez

Lot's to see if you like history a must see

Claudine Masilongan

Even if you're on the right #track, you'll get run over if you just sit there

Tracy Sahleen

I learned so much about the area. While the homes are replicas, it was so fun to look at them. Makes me glad I live in this century :)

Michelle Wright

This place is amazing!!!

youngartz BYoung

This is a hidden gem! Bring the family for learning and a picnic. There are shaded kennels free of charge for the family pet while you explore the ancient history of this amazing area. The staff love to answer questions. The gift shop stocks certified Native American Crafts. On the way to Lake Mead and Valley of Fire Parks.

tarpin75

Interesting stop. Good history lesson.

Elizabeth VanValkenburg

An unexpected gem

Daniela Petrone

(Translated by Google) An unusual visit for the US. The museum is small but interesting, going there on purpose is exaggerated but on the way to Valley of Fire is a must stop. (Original) Una visita insolita per gli US. Il museo è piccolo ma interessante, andarci di proposito è esagerato ma sulla strada per Valley of Fire è una sosta dovuta.

Richard W Hebson

I very interesting look at the ancient way of life.

L Martel

Well planned, professional displays of local historic Native American culture. Friendly helpful staff.

KT kt

Very friendly and clean. So interesting!

Dhruv Mishra

Staff stood out. Thanks to them for being so helpful with instructions and general discussion on museum subjects or area nearby. It's good and worth a visit. You can combine with near fire state park which has some good views.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place❤ (Original) Bello lugar❤

Susan Weber

An interesting place to visit and learn about the indians who once lived there

Herbert Klein

Very interesting museum for local Indian culture, living and construction. A lot of amazing details are displayed there based on an original Indian excavation site. Als quite interesting are the reconstructed Indian house types outside. It is worth for 2 to 3 hours to spend there.

Mike MichaelO

The displays we're nice. But the lady taking the money was quite rude and smart-assed!!

Pierre-Arnaud Dessaignes

Very interesting and small museum.

Luz G

Loved the place.

Crit Nelson

A great place to bring the kids.

Nova Shelton

Plan to stay awhile to view structures

D J

As these kinds of specialty museums go, this one tells the tale of a "lost city" which once resided under Lake Mead. Now that the lake has fallen on hard times, the city has resurfaced covered in mud and disintegrating. The museum brings to life the pioneer era and Native American culture.

Larry North

Incredible history of Anasazi Indians

Shirley Pitcher

Very interesting

Gerald White

Nice. The staff are great. Friendly and nice. After we got done I mentioned to my wife let's get something to eat. They gave us recommendations as to where to go and what to try.

Tobias Carpenter

Really interesting. Kids loved it. Able to walk around and actually look at ancient ruins and ways of life.

Mary Stolz

Very interesting place. Learned lots and I'm usually not one to visit museums. Good place to take visitors.

Eddie Nieves

(Translated by Google) Very little to see. (Original) Muy poco que ver.

Joe Krizenesky

Fun museum, very informative with some great items. Definitely a must on the way to Valley of Fire. RV parking is good

Luke Marsh

Awsome

Mauri jackson

Decent place but it needs a major intervention. I'm giving it a high rating because of the nice lady up front at the desk. She's very informative! Taught us about a few cool low key off road attractions.

James M

Cool little Museum which gives a good history of the ancient Pueblos and Anasazi people in the area. The interior of the museum is built around a historic ruins site, and it was cool to see. There are a few films you can watch which are neat. Also, there is a meet Recreation outside in the back of the Pueblo and Anasazi houses. The staff was friendly as well. If you enjoy museums, check it out. The price is right. My son had a blast when we visited here.

Kate Knowles

Well inside it was kinda boring. But it was cute. The people are nice.

carl quinton

This place had a lot of history and artifacts it does cost $10 each person.

Jim Bagley

Really worth stopping by and spending some time. Plan for a couple of hours to really get the whole experience inside and out. The location is a little out-of-the-way, but while visiting the valley of fire this is a great museum to visit.

Thomas Adams

Great history, nice presentation

Pamela Greer

This is a gem! One of the best museums I have ever seen. We spent twice as much time there as we planned, enjoying the wonderful displays and asking questions of the archaeologist. Well worth the visit!

This little museum has so many artifacts that were found right the area! Also there are outdoor recreations of the homes the indians would have made. There is also an outdoor shaded area with picnic tables for your use. The lil gift shop has some really nice silver jewelry and indian jewelry. There is a semi precious stone section as well which i really liked. Entrance fee is just $5 pp.

gina nowell

Such a fun experience! Would recommend anyone to visit!

Greg Roth

Fun little museum, well worth the short time it takes to see it, on your way to the Valley of Fire or other destinations.

Yvette Spivock

A good overview of the native peoples who lived in the area with many artifacts and interesting background. Most interesting are recreated Pueblos and pit house. Nominal fee to get in and worth supporting for the history it preserves.

Joel Harleman

Very interesting place to visit.

Cody Eldridge

Really really cool! The history of the area is amazing! The displays in this little museum are well thought out and the entry fee is very reasonable. I loved learning about the way the natives dealt with the desert and lived in harmony with it. My favorite was the replicas of the adobe homes out behind the museum itself. If you are visiting the Valley of Fire or the surrounding area then I definitely recommend a stop here.

2CrazyKiddos Mama

Very interesting place to visit.

Valerie Dynda

A small but unique little gem. I wouldn’t consider it a must if you’re in the area, but if you have time and want something off the beaten, touristy path, this is definitely for you! Very informative displays, and the people are incredibly friendly. There are also some fun, unique finds in their gift shop. I’m so glad we happened to make this part of our trip.

C Mac

Very interesting information and artifacts. My kids lived it.

Timothy Petersen

Nice museum showing the timeline of the local cultures going back a few thousand years. Nice gift shop. Worth your time and money.

Marilynn Bunce

The lady at the front door. Very very friendly. Told us a lot. And she even told us which way to drive for the most scenic way. On our adventure

Nicholas Bartow

Such a great place to learn about the history of this area. Lots of great artifacts to see with stories to go with them!

Ken and Phyllis Newkirk

Wow, is this a hidden gem! Wonderful artifacts and great interpretive information. Don't underestimate this place if you have an interest in Ancient Puebloan (Anasazi) culture.

Charles Sheehe

Very educational, a good spot too stop

Bogdan Cojocaru

In the middle of nowhere we've met nice people and seen very interesting pieces of history.

Tierlac

Not a bad place. A little history of the area

Great place to take an MC ride

S K

Interesting!

Sandi Martinez

Nice displays. Lots of great info. A must do if you visit the Ring of Fire in the Valley of fire.

BELLA

Para empezar la entrada del parque es exactamente igual como entrar a otro mundo, La imaginación le regala a cada quien un mundo de sorpresas muy agradable. EL PUEBLO VIEJO es una cajita de pandora y nos transporta a esa CIUDAD PERDIDA llena de de ambiente no comprensible para nosotros. Lo recomiendo ampliamente a toda aquella persona que sea amante de la naturaleza. RECOMENDACIONES Comida, Sombrero, bloqueador solar, suficiente agua y mucha disposición de admirar, y reconocer a todas aquellas personas que an trabajado para la reconstrucción de esa CIUDAD PERDIDA.

Marjie Holland

I am a docent here. This is an awesome museum about the ancestral puebloans, plus there is a whole lot of history of the Moapa Valley and this area in General. Come out and see for yourself.

Official Jai Darhower

Was a let down. The pictures of the houses is what drew us to the location. And come to find out that they were replicas and we couldnt even look in those. You could see in the top of apit house but only to the bottom of the steps. Was some good info in the museum.

Norman Monroe

A hidden gem. Definitely want to go in the morning before it gets hot, to enable you the opportunity to to investigate things outside. The staff is more than willing to assist you with history of the area, and point you to places to visit off their location as well.

a62dave

Equivalent to a national park service (NPS) visitor center. Lots of info on the pueblos. Admission fee.

Doug Crimmel

Stopped by for a quick visit while passing through Overton. Glad I did. Nice displays and enjoyed learning about those who were here first.

Beata Kusiak

(Translated by Google) You can learn a bit of history and relax for a while (Original) Można poznać trochę historii i chwilę odpocząc

Bryan Koch

The lost museum gives a great glimpse of the past, if you are debating the long drive to get here I would say that it is worth it. A lot to read and try to imagine. Though the video presentation seemed to become the nap room after the long drive for the family.

Janet West

Fun and interesting and a learning environment

Gary Rodriguez

Tour inside the museum

Richard Davis

Clean & interesting

Robyn Sengelaub

Really neat place nice gift shop

Dwight Simmons

A rare find tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Good info and great gift shop

Nice museum, a good deal of artifacts and history. A nice place spend a couple of hours.

Aric Harbick

Very nice smaller museum. Great historical displays.

Patrick Carothers

James W

Very interesting.

Timothy Boucher

Very clean and relaxed. The artifacts are maintained well and the stories about them are told in detail. They have an outside area with replicas of the pueblo housing.

Alma Zavala

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place a lot of culture (Original) Muy interesante lugar mucha cultura

Paul Naizer

Excellent place to visit. Looks to be child friendly.

Jose Manuel Rodriguez Gomez

Un poco lejos de Las Vegas para sólo visitarlo, recomiendo combinarlo con la visita del Valle del Fuego. Es un lugar lleno de historia y cultura. Un gran esfuerzo para su mantenimiento y representa una parte muy importante de la hustoria. Es un lugar pequeño que se puede visitar en menos de dos Horas. Recomiendo su visita para conocer el pasado y aprender a respetar las culturas y su diversidad, al igual de entender como las civilizaciones se adaptan a su entorno. Si fue de ayuda mi comentario, por favor darme un * Me gusta*.

Cathy Finch

Very interesting..worth the stop

B Seegmiller

Did you know that the Anasazi were in Nevada as well as Arizona and New Mexico? Most aren't aware of that as they pass the signs for the museum along Interstate 15. Only about an hour north of Las Vegas, the Lost City Museum is a premiere Anasazi museum in an unexpected setting for those thinking New Mexico-Arizona as the location. It's also conveniently close to Lake Meade Recreation Area, and the Valley of Fire State Park, a beautiful red-sandstone area reminiscent of Southern Utah and the Sedona region of Arizona.

Craig Keyser

Very interesting, it is so cool that the history of the people that once lived here is being protected.

Sarah Gi

(Translated by Google) Sweet little museum. I would not go there extra, but for a little stopover it was worth stopping there and looking at the old archaeological site. Unfortunately the little house was locked outside. (Original) Süßes kleines Museum. Ich würde dort nicht extra hin fahren, für einen kleinen Zwischenstopp hat es sich aber gelohnt dort anzuhalten und die alte Ausgrabungsstätte anzuschauen. Leider war das kleine Häuschen draußen gesperrt.

Israel Zendejas

Very interesting place to visit. It's small but very informative with freindly people

Beth Hurst

Lovely little museum and well worth the visit. Helpful staff. Watch the movies in the little theatre and take the quiz.

Richard Mincher

Very nice off the main road museum. Friendly and informative staff.

tammy patterson

Very interesting. Great displays of artifacts.

George Sierzputowski

Wonderful little gem of a museum with no crowds.

Elena Jouhari

IMO, It's a waste if time and money, unless you are a real history geek. 1. It's 15 min away from the highway, thus 30 min round trip. 2. Entrance fee is $5/person. It is an old-school archeological museum with glass cabinets with info posters, a timeline dating back to first people the area, and a display of native american pottery, weapons, jewellery. Last 3 displays show finds from 100 and 50 years back. Not the ancient history I had in mind... The ancient structure you see on all photos is a replica of a storage unit. Not authentic, not a dwelling place. A bookshop and a souvenir store occupy a very large space on that tiny museum, making me feel that there was not much history to display to begin with.

David Fitzgerald Sr

Nice quaint little Museum designed to Intrigue and inform

micah andrews

Very informative and some cool relics inside. Not very big but if you enjoy history and artefacts this is worth the stop and 5 bones it costs.
