Love the history very well kept historic buildings. If youre a history lover this is a must see.

I went to Yuma to learn about the history of Yuma during the 1800s and I definitely could have spent a full day just in this park. Its one of the best kept secrets of Arizona. The park has several original buildings and the artifacts inside the buildings are amazing! The Yuma Visitors Center had two very wonderful women working and were very knowledgeable in the history of Yuma. Definitely plan on spending at least 2 hours here to see and read everything. This was the only spot to cross the Colorado River in the 1800s so wagon trains, the military, stagecoaches, the railroad and finally cars came though this town. The wetlands lay just to the north of this park so you will see a variety of birds!

A nice little museum. Best describes the military period of Yuma and its daily life. Worth a visit. We arrived late and did not taste the traditional apple pie. Well be back tomorrow. charming

Also known as the quarter master depot. Gives you more history on the Yuma area and the Colorado river. Worth a visit. Can walk through it fairly quick. I would do this the same day you do the prison. Both dont take long unless you want it to.

A small museum with some interesting displays. The staff clearly had pride in the museum. Grounds well maintained.

There is a pie shop in here that is AMAZING!!!! There is history and a lot to learn but when you add pie to that mix!!! Win win!!

Great place to take a walks on a Flat surface. Park benches to rest at and get out of the sun. And if you want have a Picnic on a sunny day

Well preserve site. Pie and salad are good inside the cafe!

We stopped because I thought my husband would enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised when I did, too! So much history, and it was fun walking through the old houses, seeing them as they were. A quick tour, but absolutely worth it!

Big state park! You will learn alot about the Colorado river and Yuma. Great job AZ!

Is a great way to learn about yumas history

Lots of neat historic information there about early Colorado River crossing, irrigation water river provides and early settlers.

Extremely helpful, sociable employees, and very useful information about where to find attractions in not just Yuma, but many places in Arizona.

Love this place, mostly the little Bakery...and so much history...very interesting

This place contains many historical monuments and pieces from the time before cars. It also has one of the train cars from early 1900,s. You have to pay to get in, inside is some movies that document the historical landscape when Yuma was the narrowest part of the Colorado River. It is kept up very well by The City of Yuma, and the Historical Society.

Awesome Arizona desert night

Im not sure its worth 6 dollars but if you consider your donating to a good cause its worth it then. There is alot of old stuff to see and appreciate.

This is a terrific, spacious, historic park/museum. The visitor center is staffed with gracious attendants who are available to provide you with as much info as you require. If you want to rent bikes or go out into the park/museum there is a fee, which is well worth the cost. The center is open and free with some info, video room, and gifts. The park is lovely, well-cared for, and peaceful. Some of the buildings have limited displays ..... lost history! But, what is there is quite informative. Lots of benches along the paths which was good for my aging parents. I highly recommend this park/ museum.

Great place. Water, grass, picnic areas....its great!

Was really cool to visit. I just wish the price was a little more reasonable for what you see. The Yuma visitors center is attached to it and has a lot of information and good people to give advice.

Its small and can be done in an hour or two. I met my parents for lunch in Yuma and we walked the trail (free) and then we did the museum. Which is inexpensive. They have a very large visitors section so you can pick up flyers for all over Arizona.

Closed due to Covid-19.

Nice scenery for walking and historical buildings to explore.

Great place to bring lunch and learn some history, should be mandatory for Yuma trips

Unbelievable!!! What a gorgeous facility with wonderful people eager to help you... I am coming back to this place as I ran out of time to check it ALL out! Had NO IDEA how neat YUMA is! What a beautiful historically intriguing town! Very cool!

Good place to cycle along the colorado river

A good presentation on the history of Yuma.

While the park and museum are well worth the visit in themselves, we were delighted to be able to participate in the 5th annual Civil War Days hosted by the park and/or visitors center. The activities included battle reenactments, several informational demonstrations and discussions, and period characters such as President Lincoln and Mary Todd. The modest entry fee of $8 per adult, offered a full day of educational family entertainment.

Interesting history exhibits about old Yuma in the main lobby and display area. The rest of the exhibits are sort of yawners however walking around the property and seeing how the old depot was laid out was kind of cool. They do have a neat old steamship paddle wheel axle that was dug up close to the site.

Its a nice place to walk and the river is next to the park

Very interesting. Yumas history is about water access and theres still a strong water connection via the agriculture in the area. The quarter masters Depot connects that history to now. See the video.

Just a beautiful location with great spots for photography and a perfect location for large or small gatherings and the ideal place for our local events year round, very well taken care of, with historical elements.

Nice park full of history

Favorite place especially during the Civil War Days shoots.

There is a lot of information and history here. That said, the best part of the park are the free exhibits in the visitor center.

Awesome place!! I highly recommend that you visit!!

Awesome location for various events to attend and also learn a good history of yuma.

Would be better if free

It was closed when I visited, so had to look in from outside the gate.

Loved this museum in Yuma!

We went there for the Civil War Days! It was awesome and I cant wait to come back next year!

We spent 3 hours learning about the Colorado River and its immense importance to the Yuma economy. Excellent!

If you are sight seeing in Yuma, this is a must stop on your tour. It is an easy walk from the Hilton Garden Inn, and the also have a very small local farmers market on Sundays, though the market may be seasonal.

Great history of the Colorado River and the Southwest. Good exhibits.
