This was an excellent museum to teach and explain about the various Native American people in Arizona, Utah and Colorado. The exhibits were very good and vast array of artifacts, art work and pottery was astounding. Well laid out and delightful experience. Thank you for also being such gracious hosts.
I was really amazed by many of the exhibits in the museum. The archeological section had some particularly great sections. The amount of pottery and jewelry on display is more than you would expect with such a physically small museum. The exhibit about star wars its native american connection was a great way to end such a fun museum. Unlike most gift shops, this one has no junk, but is full of local art, books, and jewelry. If you are in the area this museum us worth a look.
Great museum with a plethora of information and exhibits regarding the Colorado plateau and its indigenous community and surroundings! Completely worth the price of admission!There’s even a nice courtyard and small trail through the forest with a stream that we unfortunately couldn’t take due to bad weather. We even ran into @iambearsun here! 5/5 🌟
We made a quick stop to this quiet little museum. It sleek and modern inside and displays items from various Native tribes: toys, jewelry, weaving. There are listening stations so visitors van hear the information in the original language. We loved their Star Wars art display and watched a short video of translating the movies into Navajo, really cool.
Beautiful setting with nicely defined history of indigenous peoples of the Colorado plateau. I liked how it was laid out so you could really observe the timeline and migrations. Modern pieces and smaller rooms of dinosaurs from the area were a bonus!Also, the gift shop is amazing!!Great staff and doing a very good job of social distancing and sanitation. Wonderful place!!
Lots of interesting exhibits about prehistoric and early settlements around the Colorado Plateau. Well laid out and organized. We have a membership in the North American Reciprocal Museum Association, so we got in free, but the regular admission is $15.
Experienced an adventure through time. Brilliantly organized, informative, and unique. A reasonable price to see a large collection of Native American History, Artifacts, and explanation of Culture.
I love this museum! Over the years it has grown to be a very informative and interesting museum. Its set up well and the employees are wonderful and very helpful! Take the time to really look at the amazing historic and prehistoric pieces they have. The information on the Native Americans from this area is superb! There is a path on the outside of the museum to walk. This museum is wheelchair friendly and the restrooms are open. Plan on spending at least 1 &1/2 hours here. The Giftshop is full of amazing items! During Covid please remember you will need to pre-purchase your tickets online.
Great museum with focus on Native American history, beliefs, arts, heritage. Wonderful displays and historical background.
Barely OK, it has some decent basic information about the area and the tribes that have lived here, but the presentation was just mediocre. And for $15 it is incredibly overpriced. Unless you’re a diehard fan of this kind of information I would skip this
Cute little museum. Doesnt take long to see everything. Which was perfect for the kiddies.They had a little kids section with board games, coloring pages, audio visual learning, and a puppet show you all related to the theme being taught.Nice stop in Flagstaff if you are looking for something to do with the kids.
Really well done museum, very quiet and clean. A lot of beautiful examples of native American pottery and well presented exhibits.
Very interesting place. Takes you through culture and time. Its a must stop visit.
Beautiful, educational, and emotionally moving exhibits. Well organized and presented.
Very disappointed. We went hoping to learn about Northern AZ but ended up being about the different native Americans and there culture. I enjoy learning about native Americans but was looking for more history than just native Americans. They need to give this place a new name.
This museum is wonderful! So much to see and laid out so well! I was so humbled to see everything there, and was in awe the entire time.
Amazing experience! Would definitely visit again. Loads to see and learn about. The entire museum can seen in a couple hours. We were in Phoenix and it was a very scenic drive to the museum. The museum also has a trail. I do recommend long pants, tennis, and bug spray. Trail is not good for strollers so bring your baby carriers.
$15 entrance fee and not much to see. Nice and clean presentation but not much time to read and see everything.
Awesome history. Learned a lot I didnt know about the area. Definitely worth the money.
Plenty of information and lots to see. Wonderful exhibits and beautiful Native American jewelry displays. Store is packed with many keepsakes i wanted to purchase and store attendant helpful and welcoming . Atmosphere is calming and quiet. Only disheartening part was upon arrival, the reception was not as friendly. We weren’t greeted and when initiating a friendly “hello” we were given a stern look and told the cost of admission. Other than that, the museum itself is very wonderful and informative.
Had a great time on Saturday, but was very hot!Could not stay for performance ...was too hot in the sun with no tent.Have tickets for the next two weekends
Very educational and interesting. A good diversity of information on the Indian tribes. Also, great background on the earths and regions development since early time.
Kids loved it. A lot of history of native American tribes with Dinasours all around!
Lots of information on the native nations. Exhibits are clear and intriguing. Learned a lot about all aspects of the Colorado plateau. Neautiful setting and somewhat close to downtown. Privately developed and managed by a foundation
This is a lovely museum with so much to see.And when we visited the little cloud dancers were performing..And there was a craft fair going on with beautiful handcrafted jewelry and pottery etc for sale.
A bit pricey for such a small museum, but the stuff they do have is pretty amazing. I will definitely be back.
Very good interesting place to go, highly recommend!
Loved it. so glad we stopped.
The information, wonderful history and display of items was very educational.
Beautiful place stop by and check it out your self
A place you must see...polite service.
Very interesting. I learned a lot. I will come back to read more. Beautiful displays. Very clean
The Ancient tribal Artifacts where amazing along with the paintings by women who Dedicated their lives to learning and documenting the life of the people of the area. It’s worth seeing.
Quite smaller than I anticipated it being, with a large emphasis placed on the native peoples of northern AZ and the four corners region. Beautiful jewelry and pottery were on display, but otherwise there’s not a lot to keep you here for more than an hour or so.We got held hostage at the front desk for what seemed to be forever. Almost took longer to hear her tell us about the museum than to see it for ourselves. And there’s not just one gift shop, but two of them, the second being situated in between exhibits so you have to pass through it. Boo.The value proposition for this museum dwindles significantly if you’ve got more than a few people above the age of ten. But it’s a beautiful building, and the people here are supremely passionate about it.
FABULOUS DISPLAYS, very helpful docents.
An absolutely beautiful and well done museum located on wooded acerage.
Beautiful and able to learn new things
Beautiful museum full of amazing art and history of the local tribes.
Beautiful museum with wealth of native American history.
This was an excellent museum for anyone wishing to learn more about the ancient and current tribes inhabiting the 4 corners area. Excellent exhibits, well documented displays and very knowlegeable staff.
Very informative, educational, variety.Great exhibits, will return,
Great experience learning about the navajo culture and history.
Fantastic Extensive detailed exhibition of native cultures, history & geologic events + dinosaur exhibits
Love this museum. Cant wait for it to fully open again
Awesome museum to learn about the Colorado Plateau. The festivals are very cool to would recommend the Zuni or Dia de los Muertos.
I took my first grade class here, and the docents were knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The displays are so interesting and well curated!
Very nice and educational.
GREAT exhibits. Very informative beautifully presented
A lot of Indian artifacts very interesting a little pricey for a museum. Watch your step when coming down the stairs outside I almost went over the side into a ravine....
On Sunday 1/24/2021 I drove to Flagstaff to see the snow. There were many cars in their parking lot and I assumed they were close. I parked and played in the snow. There were many others playing in the snow. At approximately 1:40pm a police officer arrived and told us to leave or the museum would tow our car away.The officer advised us the museum was closing at 2pm, and we left to avoid having our car towed by the museum. So the museum called the police on people for using their parking lot to play in the snow.Instead of ruining childrens fun, you should try to monetize your parking lot.I will be submitting complaints to the city of Flagstaff and to the Better Business Bureau.
Very informative, cool artwork!
This is a wonderful mix of Northern Arizona history. Theres a beautiful exhibit of the Native Peoples of the Colorado Plataeu that was created using stories from area tribes.
Love this place - history is so much fun
Cool Star Wars exhibit connecting the native Americans art to pop culture. Very enlightening
Small, but chock full of unique Native American art and history. Dont skip the gift shop!
Part natural history, part cultural history, part art history, all enchanting!
Take your time, enjoy it.
Bit expensive, but quality museum with a lot of information in several different fields. Dont miss the smaller buildings to the back of the main one.
We had a great time with and and just knowing our family that has past were there spending the day with us.The music was out standing they played our familys favorite songs going again tomorrow
Very well kept and full of knowledge and artifacts of native Americans that called the Colorado Plateau home before Flagstaff was around. History discusses formation of the grand canyon, the movement of the continents all the way up to native americans before western influences through to today.So much history and friendly staff. Clean, safe for COVID and worth the small entrance donation.
Great 1st stop before you start to explore the area. It gives you a good deal of information about what you will be seeing. Especially American Indian info.
Really cool looking at Arizonas history.
Very interesting, well presented
Nice small museum 😉. I loved the art and jewelry that was displayed. The gift shop had nice things, too. The staff was nice and theres also a trail you can hike outside. Nice visit.
Wow worth the visit so much to see.
Interesting but pricey. Wish it was bigger!
This museum has extremely informative and interesting permanent exhibits on local history, geology, and culture, as well as frequent special exhibits, including many featuring local artists. Any time I visit for a temporary exhibit, I take in the permanent ones again and am always fascinated in rekindling my interest in the area. The gift shops are well stocked with interesting and beautiful items to buy. There there two sets of bathrooms for convenience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to visiting every time.
Great museum with a focus on the native peoples of the four corners region. Lovely selection of jewelry and indian arts in the gift shop too!
Great place for family activities
$20 for two. Well worth it.
Excellent museum. Loved learning about the northern Indian tribes. Intriguing exhibit about The Force is With Our People, Navajos redoing the some of the Star Wars in Navajo.
Great collection of items. Check out the dinosaurs! Happy they were open on a Monday. Great gift shop.
Excellent museum on local Anaszi sites and artifacts and information. Good bookstore and gift shop. Nice geology section too.
An absolutely incredible collection!
Nicely curated museum with a mix of pottery, paintings, and other artifacts. The dinosaur exhibits was smaller than expected, but was a nice experience overall.
Fascinating information about the American Indian tribes of the area.
Lots of great art.
Pleasantly surprised with this museum. Well designed informative exhibits. Completely enjoyed my time there.
A lot of very interesting stuff mostly native Amerocan so if you want to learn about local Native culture this is the place to go
First time visit; was not disappointed! Learned alot but wish we had more time.
Really cool museum about Northern Arizona. They had a starwars exhibit that was very cool to walk around and look at.
Honestly, when I walked in I didnt think I was going to like the museum. I am usually not a big fan of historical museums but I founs that the deeper I went in, the more things became interesting to me. For example, there were so many interesting facts about the Native Americans and the Colorado Plateau that I never knew about. I appreciated the opportunity to be here and I would recommend this spot to anyone.
At first, we thought it would be a small museum from the outside, but once we were inside, we could not believe how large the museum was! The first couple of exhibits (i.e. Native American artifacts) were underwhelming because they definitely looked outdated. However, past that, the museum was really nice and there were a wide variety of exhibits that spanned a lot of art, history, geology, and archaeology. Overall, we really enjoyed walking around. The gift shop is very impressive with a wide variety of items - a lot of things are very expensive though.
