Immerse yourself in Southwest Native cultures and natural wonders at a nationally awarded museum. From the dinosaur skeleton in the lobby to the stunning art displays, there's something for everyone at this "Smithsonian of the Southwest." Meet the ten tribes of the region in the Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau exhibition, which tells the story of the people who have been here for millennia in their own words. Discover the distinctive heritage of each community, while exploring shared themes, like food and ceremony, that transcend tribal lands. These modern exhibitions are housed in a historic building on a 200-acre campus with stunning mountain views, conveniently located on the road connecting Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. Admission is free for kids age 9 and under, with hands-on activities to engage them. Bring home genuine tribal art, jewelry and fun facts.
