Great location and special treat for any Elvis fans! Was very cool to find out the chapel was used in the movie Charro that starred Elvis Presley. The Superstition Mountains make an epic backdrop to all the antiques and rustic things around.

They redid a lot of things during the quarantine and its better than ever. Very informative and everyone is always friendly!

Great place! A must stop! Volunteers are super helpful and nice! Make sure to see the railroad display, and donate to it.

We LOVE Superstition Mountain Museum and all that the surrounding grounds have to offer. What a great way to spend a day. A neat little gift store, free lecture series during the winter months when temps are in the comfortable 70s, and much more. A must-visit destination in Apache Junction.

Amazing, very hot but a great time... Would recommend it for everyone especially familys

I really enjoyed it here. While the it is small, it is packed with information and visual stimulation if you enjoy history. The museum itself is clean and well organized for the small space it is currently occupying and boasts loads in local history. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and I am looking forward to returning with my kids. A must see if you are by the Superstition Mountains. There are a few walking trails that are great for beginners and still enjoyable for more experienced walkers as well. The scenery is stunningly beautiful and never gets old. In certain seasons, they also have gun fighters and mule/donkey rides for the kids as well.

We took a drive to get out of the house. We wanted to see something unique. We ended up at the museum. We did not go into the museum just the gift shop. My wife spent a few dollars on key chains and a snack. If you have nothing else to do it is worth the drive to see a different part of Arizona. Be aware this is also the only road in and out of Tortilla Flats and the lake. Traffic can be heavy at certain times of day.

Excellent place to learn a lot about the local history of the Superstition Mountains. The gift store was absolutely fantastic and was filled with high-quality books about Arizona and southwest history, folklore, Native Americans, and the Wild West. We especially liked the large selection of locally mined semi-precious gemstones. The staff and volunteers at this Museum were all very friendly and helpful. Be sure to have a hat and water because it gets hot when youre walking around the grounds.

Newly renovated museum so bright and fresh. Great exhibits. Wonderful buildings on the grounds.

My brother and I went to a outdoor cowboy church assembly, it was great and the west end of the Superstition Mountains is as you see is incredible.

Very interesting place. Lots to learn, fantastic scenery, things for the kids to do and learn. Easy walking/ hiking. Lots of international visitors here as well.Went on a guided herbal walk today. Here are some photos. Note the delicate intact bones of a bird in a cactus. Greener than usual due to all the rain of late. Free tickets are available from the Apache Junction public library if you have a library card.Come see it. Worth a couple hours.

Had a great time touring the place. Different relics spread throughout the property. Look closely and youll see bones, old heavy buckets, etc. Really interesting items of note: maps showing the location of the old ranches (would be awesome to see a current day overlay on that showing roads), how the Superstitions were formed including rock samples, the old church and buildings, the drag stone mill, my favorite thing was the giant photograph showing a cattle roundup shot from the same position on the property today. That was incredible! Stop by the general store for an ice cream or soda, get your squished penny from the machine, lots of places to stop and rest for us old folk. Ill have to return in cooler weather to see some of the stuff that was closed for the summer.

One of the best and least expensive little museums with incredible exhibits indoors and outside! $5 adults. $4 seniors. Old barn, gallows, and chapel from Apacheland Movie Ranch, amazing outdoor train villages (only Nov-May Fri-Sun), a few trails, general store, good gift shop, ore grinding equipment displays including a huge stamper, burro rides, nice photo ops, picnic area. Stage coach with photo ops. No on site food, so take a picnic and allow plenty of time for the place, especially if you go on one of the days when they have one of their guest speakers/presenters, Heritage Days, or exhibitions.

I’ve been to AZ several times but never ventured up into the mountains until this trip. I was NOT disappointed. There were stores and snacks and even a gun fight. Great scenery and very enjoyable time exploring the old ghost town.

I love this place. Good times. Everytime!

Amazing model RR of Arizonas history.

Awesome place and if you wanna learn more bout history thats the place to go..... Alot of interesting things there and very great people and atmosphere....

Great place to relax walk around and take good pictures

An awesome area museum, with a lot of Apache Junction history. So very happy they were able to preserve many icons of our little town, such as buildings from Apacheland, the Grand Hotel sign, the Mining Camp Restaurant sign....and many other interesting items from the area. They also have a great special event space. The views are simply stunning!

Lots of cool, weird and interesting history and fun little and big stuff to look at

Seasonal activities. Museum closed for renovation. Not much to do until November 1, 2020 when it fully opens.

Nice trails along with a cute little gift shop and a museum with lots of information for a small fee.

The museum itself might be small but it has a ton on information. They are well informed and have up to date information on the Lost Dutchmans gold. Love taking my family and out of town guests there. Plus they have festivals and are continously expanding.

Excellent open area museum with free admission. Thank you for putting it all together. Nice photos. You have to drive half mile further for the trails

Definitely worth the stop, sometimes a trip into the past is needed to see where we are going.

Amazing Prickly Pear Margaritas

Stopped here on the way to the ghost town, free little area to go through. There is a chapel there that Elvis was actually in that was pretty cool.

Much more interesting than expected.When we piled three grandchildren and 5 adults ages 6 to 74 into the vehicle and headed out to visit the museum, some were grumbling a bit, but as soon as we arrived, everyone perked up and started exploring. The biggest surprise was that everything except the actual museum was free. And the museum was inexpensive especially with 17 and under free.We hiked around the trails and explored the old equipment, petted the animals, and took in the Elvis Church as well.The highlight was the 20 Stamp Mill, where they did a live demonstration of how ore was processed from big rocks into fine powder. It was very loud and totally worth the whole trip. It runs each Saturday morning at 11:00. Dont miss it!

Nice event showcasing Mexican culture today. Not hard to social distance either. Thanks!

Interesting Elvis chapel, great photo ops, and the only walking labyrinth I have ever seen in this area.

A great way to spend a Winter or Spring afternoon. Learn Arizona history. Everyone is friendly and will answer any questions. The view of the Superstition Mountains are amazing.

Great place. Lots of history.

Tastefully done. Enjoyed reading and seeing objects and photos of history. Nice gift shop. Made purchases for gifts .

So much to see and learn , the volunteers are well informed and if you listen carefully you might learn something new about Arizona . Catch the show , visit the museum,take a walk on the path or get a bite to eat.

Not a place to go after 10am this time of year but early in morning got to see alot of wildlife and trails are well kept

Nice hike. It was cloudy and misting but still pretty scenery.

Love to look at it. Its a beautiful place

Interesting place. Neat buildings to walk through. Lots of history there. Museum is worth the $5 cost to walk through. Very educated volunteers provided lots of good information.

The last Dutchman gold mine is the good place to visit

Very awesome place with amazing people!

It was great! We really enjoyed our time there!

Great views and photo ops

Awesome Experience! Even met the man himself. Two Big Thumbs Up

They have great events here, the kids always enjoy hiking around, and the staff is friendly. My boys already want to know when were going back!

I went back here after 3 years and the place is expanded and there are a lot of interesting things to see. The staff there were very knowledgeable and friendly. They seem like they really enjoy what they are doing. There is no admission charge although they do ask for donations. There is plenty of free parking.

I enjoyed the streetscape and the movie history. Stunning view of Superstion mountain. Reenactors are both knowledgeable. and. entertaining.

So much fun with the kids ️

Beautiful location and a bunch of historic information

Great place to stop. It was our first stop while in the area. Nice gift shop. Lots of cool stuff to see. The model trains were very well laid out. Unfortunately they were not doing demonstrations the day we were there. We will return to see the demonstration another time.

Back when men were men! Fascinating.

There lil gift shops are good

This is a wonderful place! The staff are courteous and very knowledgeable. So much history of the Superstitions. Amazing!

Nice please to stop during the trip :)

Great place to learn about mountains with so much history

Had a good time at the museum, enjoyed the entertainment and the beautiful art displayed.

This stop was so much fun! The staff was very engaging which made the visit a lot of fun! Highly recommend it!!

I woul have given this a 5 star if the demos were going.

Pretty cool little museum. Lots of interesting artifacts and displays. Theres also a lot to see outside the museum such as the Apacheland barn, the Elvis wedding chapel, and the stamp mill. Pretty cool if youre into old Western movies or just history in general.**You can get two free general admission tickets from any of the Phoenix Public libraries. Just ask to see the Culture Passes or look online for availability.

Nice selection of books and souvenir items featuring the locale. Due to possible rain the feature artist presentation was cancelled. Got to see the beautiful artistry from Mexico.

Its a quaint little museum and historic site. There isnt much going on on week days however so if youre bringing the kids to see some of the attractions like the miniature train or the mule ride, you will find them closed on week days (or at least we did on a Wednesday).

Interesting little rest stop, a lot of props from western movies were shot here, worth a stop, read and look about.

So much to see in such a small area. From a mine to a train ride to several shops and eateries this place is a cant miss.The separtarium however is the absolute highlight of the place. An amazing exhibit of spiders and snakes and a Gila monster. Managed by a couple that really knows their stuff and cares about the animals in their care. Miss this stop at your own peril.

Lots of interesting things to look at.

Super fun place to walk around and get a feel for the old west. I love to go there for western shoots with all the barns and open areas its perfect for that. They have a indoor museum and places for picnic. Fun place.

Wow how fun. Even on a cold day the place was packed. Free interesting and historical displays. They really have done a very nice job. On the weekends there are interactive things for kids to do.

The museum has really informative displays. The skit was a little cheesy, but the actors seemed to be having fun. View is spectacular. My husband watches a lot of westerns, so the info regarding the film/tv productions was fun to learn. Price is right!!

Perfect for young children, and there are plenty of attractions for adults, including food and libations. Visited 2 weekends in a row and will definitely be back.

This is a new and growing museum but you should definitely come here and throw money at them to support their work. They are trying to raise money so they can do a lot more interesting demonstrations. Its worth the long drive out here. The stamp machine demo was super cool, you will definitely want to see that if you can, its a very unique opportunity. The museum itself is very small, about 30-60 min to see, tops, but it has a little on a lot of different areas. The gift shop is pretty cool, lots of interesting books. The volunteers have a lot of enthusiasm and can answer questions.

Great place to learn some history about the local area. Be sure to walk the trail out back beautiful views of Superstition Mountains. People running the museum are most helpful.

Cute and authentic Western theme park. Adults and kids will like it. No admission, just pay for what you want to do there. Food options available. Free and smoke parking.

Loved it here!! Great experience and the people who worked here were amazing with the knowledge and history of it!

I really enjoyed this museum. Keep in mind you can get a free pass if you visit your public library.Anyhow, the museum has 2 parts- the paid part is their indoor exhibit, and then they have some historical artifacts on the outside. The indoor exhibit took me a little over an hour to see. It was small, but if you take your time reading each sign, it can take a bit longer. I saw exhibits on animals in the deserts, Indian artifacts, geology of the area, and then also displays on the history of the area as well as stories of people that tried to look for the lost treasures. It was interesting to read, albeit it was a bit text heavy and sometimes the font was a bit small and tiring on the eyes. The older man walking around the exhibits was very kind and knowledgeable and really strived to add that personal touch!- kudos to him.The outdoors part was very fun as well. It took about an hour and half to walk around and carefully look at each exhibit. There was a chapel dedicated to Elvis, old mining and stamp mill displays, historic houses, and even a mini railroad. So much to see! It was still a bit hot though, so make sure to bring you water.

A neat place to visit that is close to Phoenix.

Good variety of trails. Be aware verticals are moderate and almost immediate. Some trails are mixed use horse. Nice views.

We stopped at this beautiful park before entering Superstition Mountains which were breathtaking!

Very cool place went there when I first moved to Arizona in 2007. Had fun people were nice. Have to go back since they have a native American museum.

Filled with lots of History ! demonstration of rock crushing amazing the volunteers are very knowledgeable. Fun 4 the whole family[[ free entertainment]]]

Friendly staff, amazing views and fascinating on-site history from old Hollywood and westerns, and Elvis movies, not just the Superstition Mountains and the Old West. Nice easy way to have some fun, ample parking and easy to find. A must do. While youre there, visit Goldfield.

The drive was nice, especially loved all the mountains and seeing the lake.

Very interesting and cool place! Walking through museum was full of history. Nice stop on our way to Tortilla Flat.

Always fun stopping here on our way to tortilla flats.. fun old west gun show, great antiques and the shop is fun too.

I loved this place, looking at how old mines worked, befriending donkey friends, no fee required to look at the outside premise, but for all it is maintaining outside, please think about donating or paying the fee to go inside at look at the museum. Its a cool little place and watch out for rattle snakes!

So very special, feeling one with earth , history, friendly , right on our street***!!!!!! Loved, loved we did !!!!!!!!!! , thank you for providing these fantastic opportunity for all our community ️

Interesting facts about the Lost Dutchman mine. A lot of history here and things to do. Great for kids and adults.

It was an amazing experience! Filled with alot of History! The kids also were able to enjoy the experience!

Very good historical exhibits and super friendly staff comprised of older folks! Not a huge museum but they also dont charge much to get in. Gift shop would be perfect for any out of state visitor.

Neat place with a lot of history. Many western movies made in this area, now I have to go back and watch them again to see the Mt.s in the background lol. Much of the mock town burned but the church is still there.

The coolest rock crusher Ive ever seen. Mining equipment everywhere, plenty of walking after long car ride.

Rustic piece of history that my adult daughter and I found to be packed with local mining (and movie making) history.The little railroad was not operating due to non-peak season maintenance. There is also a several picnic tables and shaded areas to rest

Check out the outdoor train set during the winter and you will not be disappointed! Perfect for all ages! Awesome!

Great museum with lots of information on the local history on mining and Indians of the area. Had a great time there. I especially liked the information on the legend on the lost duchman mine.

Its a very special place. The museum gives you lots of info about the local plants, animals and history. The staff dressed up in period clothing and played fun characters. The grounds give you plenty to explore. Including model trains, mining equipment and the movie sets used in the golden age of Western film.

An awesome historic place. If youre a fan of Westerns, this is a must see! Also, get all the information of the Lost Dutchman youd ever need at their museum.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Superstition Mountain Museum. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We found that the museum really helped us all understand the draw and appeal of the mountain. It also helped us get a better feel for the history of the area. My daughter had read the Superstition Mountain Mystery series by Elise Broach and really wanted to visit the area. Im so glad she did, we all found the stories and legend very interesting. The museum itself isnt very big but its packed with information. There is also quite a bit to see on the outside, as well, including some old movie set areas. Well worth the stop.

I loved it. It was so awesome reading History that other people told me wrong. Would i come back ? Oh yes i would

Actually had a great time here. The drive in from Scottsdale was beautiful and the old town was super interesting. Some great photo ops and the souvenir shop boasted some awesome finds.

What an awesome stay we had. The views are breathtaking. The sunsets are the best.

Loved it the gun show was great!!!

Really cool old west themed tour with a museum and an awesome view of Superstition Mountain.

Incredible Views! Awesome walk...
