"PROs: Great place to explore and show respect for our History. Free entry with our golf tour ticket (keep that handy). Equivalent to 4 football fields, wear good walking shows. Comfortable atmosphere during inclement weather. Museum attendants were kind and helpful. CONs: So much to see in one day with one ticket use. No bench seats provided for elders except in one area. I believe this was the best museum I've visited yet that showcased the most of Native American artifacts. We spent nearly 3 hours exploring. The website shows admission prices."
"Quite impressive collections of civil was and Native American Indian artifacts and artwork! Was larger than expected! Took about an hour to see the entire museum. Be prepared to stay the duration as there is no exiting til the end. There are bathrooms halfway through FYI. Tickets to the museum are included with the Lost canyon cave & nature trail."
"We did the Nature trail lastnight and came back to visit today and we're truly impressed by the extensive collection of history and artifacts. It was considerably larger than we had anticipated. While it took some time to explore everything, it was certainly a worthwhile experience."

Local Tips
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the museum is considerably larger than anticipated and takes time to explore thoroughly. Plan for ample time; while some connections offer combined tickets, exploring the entire museum can take several hours, and there's no re-entry once you complete your visit. Check the website for admission prices and ticket bundle options, especially if you're interested in other local attractions.
