Back to Pueblo Grande Museum & Cultural Park
I took my 2 older boys, ages 7 & 8. We really enjoyed the ruins and villages that you could go inside and get a feel of what it must have been like to live in one and what they used to build it. They had a garden setup of what they grew that was interesting. There is also a room setup for children that has hands-on activities teaching them how to build houses, create their own ceramic pots, and more. I don't think there was anything we didn't like.

This museum has well preserved artifacts and I would recommend it to history buffs and anyone interested in early Phoenix history. Check out the gift shop and Ruin Trail while there.

The museum had lotsa info and is very kid friendly with interactive displays. Outside digs are a bit boring but thourough! It's a quick trip but a great experience and an eye opener for cultural exsistence.

This small museum contains materials and information regarding the first residents, the prehistoric Indians, of this desert area which eventually became Phoenix. This place is not widely known to either present day residents or visitors from out- of-town who are in abundance here.

I really enjoyed our visit, especially the reconstructions of some of the dwellings. Some of the docents were roasting agave root and although we would not be there for the tasting, they answered all of our questions and were very helpful. There is a total lack of shade, just be aware during the summer and plan accordingly. Very nice museum.

a old indain village from 700 ad that has been nicely preserved with a detailed museum. a great place to study indain designs and see some classic pottery. has reconstructed some of the old pit houses- give you an idea of what it must have been to live long ago when you lived totaly off the land.

We've been visiting every 5 years for at least 25 years and it keeps getting better. The recent exhibit on petroglyphs showing time were excellent but had too little accompanying information so you had to know a lot to appreciate it. Should do brochures on each exhibit. The walking area is much improved. Takes 1 hour to do it all justice. Should plant some native vegetation. It looks too dry and sterile.
