Awesome place with lots of history. The Dutchman’s Lost mine is a great story. People are still searching for it today! Great exhibits of American Indian, cowboys, and animals. The grounds are huge. 15 acres. The Apache land Movie Ranch became a Western movie Mecca hosting shootings of more than 17 television series. The Elvis chapel was pretty cool also. (air conditioned).

Everything outside is free and they have a few movie prop buildings and lots of information and history of the area. They have a Groupon available so for around $8 you get a few drinks and access to the little museum inside. They staff is knowledgeable and very helpful on info on history and the area in general since you will want to drive up some more and experience the mountain.

There is a great little museum here, ice cream sandwiches and roasted nuts, and I have to say we had a lot more fun than I expected. Great little movie museum too! We had friends and family in from Washington, and they said it was the highlight of their trip, and we did a LOT of stuff in their week here.

If you look beyond the tacky Elvis Chapel, the rest of the outdoor exhibits and museum are very interesting. Lots of interesting info on the Lost Dutchman mine. Also information on a number of westerns that were filmed near here. Worth an hour!

Our group of 6 had a great time walking on the free outside trails and looking at the fun displays of life and humor. We did not pay to go inside the indoor museum. The Elvis Church, stage coach, Boot Hill, and many cacti were worth the visit. Make sure to stop by if heading into the Superstitious Mountains!!

This is an incredible, inexpensive, tiny, approachable museum about the Superstition Mountains, the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, local Native communities, and early settlers. My kids were fully engaged, read all the exhibits, and then wandered through the outdoor areas. We were probably only here an hour, but it was completely worthwhile, and like everyplace else in Arizona, the people who work here are SO NICE.

Definitely stop here either on your way to or on your way back from visiting tortilla flats along scenic rt 88. There are so many cool things to see and learn here. There are also short picturesque hiking trails. I wish I had kids with me to share the experience with.

Stop here - everything outside is free to visit. It is worth a walk around, even though the Superstition mountains are in the distance. There is a museum inside the gift shop which requires a small admission fee. Not knowing the area's history, I felt it was money well spent.

Nice small little museum but packed with lots of interesting things. We came at the end of the day so didn’t get much time to wander around outside before the fellow came along to say they were closing the gate. There is a model railway outside but it only operates two days per week (can’t remember which ones).

Great stop to see and learn about the history of the Superstition Mountains area. They have an operating 5 stamp mill (actually a section of a much larger 20 stamp mill) that was moved here, and was used to crush gold bearing ore to a sandy or almost powdery form for subsequent gold extraction. There is also an outdoor large scale model railroad that kids will enjoy, buildings that were once part of a set used for filming western movies, and a recreated Native American village. One of the movie set buildings is a chapel that was used in several films, including one that Elvis starred in. All these outside exhibits are FREE to roam around. The main museum building has a gift shop and a collection of indoor exhibits that cover the history of the area from the Native American inhabitants to the gold mining to current day. You will see lots of information on the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine. There is a small fee for the indoor exhibits, but it is well worth the cost and it goes to a great cause ..... preserving the history of the area for future generations to see.
