    An entry way.

    It's a very different looking house built into the rock starting in the 30s. Year round temperatures are between 65 - 72 ish. No need for heat or air conditioning. It's open concept even the primary bedroom is open to the whole house. There is a guest bedroom with a curtain that could be closed. It's attached to a gift shop - used to be diner. I didn't like the touristy feel and we couldn't take pictures inside. Probably so we would purchase the book with the pictures. For 2 seniors it was $13. More expensive for younger adults. You could get the feel of the house just by going in the gift shop. I asked if they ever got bugs in it and was shown a picture of a seven inch long centipede. No thanks! I'll stay in a regular house.

    Unfortunately, I didn't get to take a tour of the house inside of the rock but I did have time to walk around the grounds. I will be back to take the tour when I'm up this way again.

    Nice little stop. One of a kind. Been driving by for years. Finally stopped and it was well worth it. Tour is 8 dollars. It's worth 8 dollars. You need to take a hour out of your day and check it out.

    Very cool detailed tour, nicely preserved. A must at least once. Strict rules on no photos or videos inside the home and shop, you will be asked to leave if not followed.

    A very interesting find of a museum. My family and I vacationed last summer to Page, Arizona and Moab, Utah. This place was on my list to see. At first I wasn't sure what we had pulled into; but it ended up being my kids favorite stop. The people that run the place are so very informative and the history to this place is so interesting. You're not allowed to take photos inside or record, so that's why I don't have any other media. It's just a really neat place; they've kept most of the home in the rock true to when the couple lived here and the other half is a gift shop. Seriously if you love architecture and weird stories definitely go here!

    You can see the entrance to the 5000 sq ft home.

    Do the tour. Intriguing story. Not something you see every day. Other things to see on the property, as well.

    This was a really fun time and I'd recommend this to all tourists who come to the area. The atmosphere is amazing with all sorts of fun things. The main thing to do here is go thru a house built into a rock. The 5000 square foot home was built out of a sandstone cliff by Albert Christianson and his brother in the 1940s and he and his wife moved in in the early 1950s and opened a diner a couple years later. The owners left the home exactly as it was before both died and their son finally sold it in 2000. How do I remember all this? Bren, the tour guide, has a great personality and as part of the family who bought it knows and shares all the details of who, what, when, where and how. Each tour is 15 minutes long and for $6.50 well worth it. Also great is the atmosphere around the cave home. You're not allowed to take pictures inside, but outside are lots of fun things from back in the day including Bigfoot. If you're in Moab you must go see it!!!

    Completely forgot to add my review after visiting here a month ago . If your ever in the area of Moab Ut then this is a must stop for a step back in time. A family in the 30s literally carved out a 5k sf home in the rock face from this huge landscape. Even the chimney is still intact after all these years. U can't tKe pictures inside but it's cool to check it for a fee $. This is a cool area to check out though.

    Amazing tour and experience! Loved feeding the animals in the little zoo! Spent a total of an hour with the tour, walking around and the zoo! It's a must to stop here!!

    I highly recommend stopping here on a road trip. This is a place I would never seek out on my own, but a great place to stop and stretch your legs. The tour of inside the rock is $19 completely worth it. There is also a gift shop and a petting zoo. Highly recommend!

    Pam B.

    (I don't write many reviews but wanted to make sure I shared our experience, we will definitely be back!) Stopped today to check out the zoo, such a pleasant surprise! Only $4.25/each and you can buy a bucket of grain and veggies. Chicken, sheep, deer, alpacas, mini donkey's, huge pig, longhorn, pigeons, peacock and Cooper the Camel. You can get up close. Perfect for anyone needing a break on a long road trip, or a change of pace from Moab. The animals seemed so happy and well taken care of. Staff was welcoming and inquired about our experience. Thank you!

    It's petroglyphs on a huge boulder, from different native cultures, from different eras…read more The boulder has 4 sides, and each side has petroglyphs, including one which is a depiction of a woman giving birth, hence the name. From Moab, you drive along the Colorado on a somewhat remote, but paved road. The road goes deep into the canyon, bordered by several remote camping areas and trail heads. There are a few mobile homes along the road as well, and a small wooden house partially built into the rock walls of the canyon. We also saw three walls, for lack of a better word, built of stone, like those found in ancient ruins. Unfortunately, they were on private property with "No Trespassing" signs, so we didn't go check them out. Anyway, once you no longer see homes, the road goes on for maybe one more mile, then turns to unpaved gravel. Dirt bikes, utvs and other vehicles all use this road, and because it is a "shelf" road, it can be a little scary. Just go a little slower than you normally would, and you'll be fine. The rock sits below the level of the road, as does the signage, so you may drive by it, but there is enough room to both pull over or turn around. There is no parking lot. If you're into any sort of history, but especially native cultures, this is a nice little piece of it to check out. 38/2021

The park offers several manageable hikes and a fantastic "giant sandbox" experience. Top Tips for Parents: Time: Budget 2 full days. This allows you to see the sights without rushing or risking a mid-day meltdown. The Best Hikes: We highly recommend Balanced Rock, Sand Dune Arch (it's a massive hit with kids because of the deep sand play), and The Windows Section. Where to Stay: Stay in Moab. It's incredibly convenient to the park entrance and has plenty of family-friendly amenities. The Visitor Center: Don't skip it! We spent 2 hours there exploring the exhibits; it's a great way to introduce kids to the environment. Essentials: It gets incredibly hot. Pack twice as much water and snacks as you think you'll need.

We arrived midday, and the heat was intense, so we weren't able to hike to many of the arches. Even so, we still saw a lot just from the viewpoints and shorter walks, it's stunning no matter how you experience it. One thing to note: parking at Devils Garden is very limited and can be difficult, especially later in the day. That area is one of the most popular spots in the park. Travel tips: * Go early--ideally at sunrise--and start at the far end (Devils Garden), then work your way back toward the entrance * Bring plenty of water (more than you think you need) * Wear proper shoes--the terrain is uneven and sandy * Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses are essential--the sun is strong and there's little shade * Check if timed entry reservations are required during peak season * Don't rush--plan stops and take your time at viewpoints, even if you're not hiking far Even with the heat limiting our hikes, this was an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely come back--next time earlier in the day!

Aside from modern day Moab being a big tourist destination and jumping off point for adventures in places like Arches NP and Canyonlands NP I didn't know much about its origins so I was excited to visit the Moab Museum. The museum is one large room and while you can view the exhibits in any order I found it was best to start at the very beginning and work my way clockwise. The museum starts with the indigenous people who lived in modern day Moab and ends with Moab being central to two national parks and a recreation hub. Missionaries, fur trappers, cowboys, miners, adventurists and dinosaurs were all covered in between. My favorite exhibit was about William Grandstaff. The exhibit called "Tracing the Story of William Grandstaff" traces his roots from likely being enslaved in Virginia to becoming a Civil War era soldier, frontiersmen, pioneer, cowboy, miner and saloon manager in Utah and Colorado. I love when museums leave me wanting to know more and William Grandstaff is definitely someone who'd I'd like to learn more about. I'd also like to hike the trail named in his honor - the Grandstaff Trail in Grandstaff Canyon. One of the best features of the museum were historical pictures of the Moab area that you could scroll through on a tablet. The photos really helped me understand the history of Moab. Admission was $10 for an adult and I felt it was well worth it. The museum has a good bit of reading, some artifacts and a few interactive exhibits sprinkled in so some kids might be a little bored but I really enjoyed it. Kids 7 and under visit for free and students are $8.

We are picky and admittedly have an eye for good work. The Tom Till Gallery has some great pictures, all of which are photographs, mostly local, but also ones from around the world. They are quality pieces of art and look stunning in their gallery. Now here's the catch: They present the photos that are for sale in the racks as if they are mounted like the ones on the walls. They aren't. They're just loose photographs (see picture). Not a huge deal but considering the price the customer is blatantly being misled (ie they're overpriced). The elderly female clerk could also improve her PR skills (I had to box and pack our pictures myself because she was bending them to fit a smaller piece of cardboard!) Buyer beware: the photos are not worth the price you are paying in my opinion, but you be the judge. Just know they aren't mounted at all.
