Pueblo Grande Museum

This was the perfect place to visit with my 10-13 year old kids. We enjoyed the views outside. They provide umbrellas to block the sun!!!

Features both outdoor and indoor exhibits of the Hohokam people that populated the area for over a thousand years. Best to go early, we went in the afternoon and it was super hot as there is almost nowhere to get out of the sun. The indoor exhibits are very good and the staff is very informative. Gift shop is well stocked and inexpensive.

Great little known about museum. Not too big but still an interesting look at some of the true beginnings of the city of Phoenix. The canals the Hohokam built were massive and laid the groundwork for some of the canals we use to this day!

This museum and archaeological park is in the midst of the City of Phoenix (close by is the airport). It is an interesting and informative exhibit for all ages, about the life Hohokam people from AD 950 to AD 1450. The museum has indoor exhibits and an outside archaeological village which you follow through pathways. It’s so interesting to see how life was so many years ago. As one exhibit expressed - the Hohokam lived among the mountains surrounding Phoenix, that still exist today. It takes about 1-2 hours to absorb the museum and well worth the time for a step back into history..

Very interesting historical site. Enjoyed the additional info provided out in the site. Not too much info, but what was there added value. Short video worth watching too. Gift shop so so. People working at the site were helpful and friendly. Mysterious ending to the Hohokam tribe... What happened to them is unknown.
