    More artifacts than my brain can process in a beautiful set of buildings at an incomparable site…read more I've been wanting to visit this place for over a decade, and finally made it there yesterday. Not easy to find: take the Dragoon exit just before Texas Canyon, make a right and it's down about a mile on the left. Long gravel driveway to get into the grounds. Suggestion: pack a picnic lunch. They have stunning picnic grounds just past the museum in a jaw-dropping setting among the rocks. Also gives you a break from looking at all the stuff which, frankly, gets a little overwhelming after a while. We hit the art gallery first as it closes from 12-1PM, and we got there around 11:30. Mostly photography when we were there, but very nice work. The main exhibits have great interpretive signage - you can spend hours just reading all the explanations. A lot of the signage gives you the history, which is great. I have never seen so much antique jewelry in my life - really impressive displays. Ran out of time for the hike to the bird pond - next time! We did stop at the old cemetery on the way out - do make a brief stop and read the story of the place.

    We visited here for my kids school trip and overall this was an enjoyable and memorable experience…read more This museum is more of a personal collection of Native American items from several cultures. It's beautiful to see and also, I left with a feeling that's particular and not quite explainable. The staff were great, the facilities well kept, a good drive around the space, watch out for snakes, take time to read-that's where lots of information is. No pictures allowed inside

    I booked the ladder tour for my husband and I for his birthday. Adam was our tour guide. We had a…read moregreat time! I am claustrophobic and let Adam know and he was very understanding and encouraging. He definitely helped me feel at ease and I was able to finish the entire tour. Adam is very passionate about caving and it really shows. We've been in multiple caves and on tours so I wasn't sure if this would be anything special. It absolutely was and I was pleasantly surprised. There were a few activities we got to do that I haven't ever experienced before like playing "drums" on stalactites and "painting" on the wall with a flashlight. We learned a lot about the history of the cave and heard some interesting and fun stories. We also got to explore a little bit on our own here and there off to the sides of the path which my husband really enjoyed. The ladder part is at the end and it was a lot of fun and almost like an obstacle course. We had a great time here and I'm really glad we came!

    Fun tour of cave with some good history. Good that the cost supports back the park. Our guide was…read morevery knowledgeable and friendly. The path is very accessible so it isn't hard to walk. The lighting is great showing off great cave features and photos to take. Just no flash Although cool, I would say I've been to nicer caves, but if this is your first cave visit it is probably worth it. Enjoy!

    What an awesome souvenir shop! Something different from ordinary trinket store. Who would thought…read moreto taxidermy frogs and make a ​band out of it?​. In the small museum in the back, an orchestra frog band lined up with instruments while music and different lights flashes. It's weird to look at it but cool at the same time. Also there multiple uncanny artworks​​ displayed in the museum. The shop itself is unique and you can find unordinary souvenirs. The staff is​ very friendly and welcoming. When you are visiting Tombstone, it's a place to visit to buy eccentric art pieces.

    BEST STORE IN TOMBSTONE !!!!…read more Honestly, I have to say I had a great time in this store/museum. This is a profound collection of multi-culture oddities! The staff who I believe were the owners, were fantastic! They were personable and knowledgeable and took great care in wrapping my delicate items (I purchased a fully articulated bird skeleton in a delicate glass case as well as a taxidermied furry bat) as well as some odds and ends, crystals, Buffalo teeth and some AMAZING buttons ! Marshall Applewhites "Beam me up"! Baaaahahahaha! Everything made it back to San Diego with no problem ! They also gave me a few free incense sticks and a tombstone sticker. I can tell that the owners absolutely love their store and one even commented that it was his dream to have this place. The energy is palpable and gratitude is genuine. I also appreciated hearing the gal very lovingly dispel stereotypes to a curious customer regarding voodoo/witchcraft and energy and spell work. The passion is noticeable. I encourage anyone to visit this store while you are in tombstone and see the cool museum in the back that is really neat! Support these folks ! Blessed be.
