For those looking for things to do in Page, you might want to pop into The Powell Museum and Visitor Centre $3 per person on N. Lake Powell Blvd. Opening hours are 9am to 5pm daily. Here you will find a small museum with a handful of rooms which cover several areas of interest. The Colorado River history details reports of early expeditions and pioneer discovery of the region by way of river based trips. This was quite interesting. We also enjoyed the small section on the history of Page, Arizona. You will learn a bit about the town's founding, the dam project and see pictures from the early days of this community. There are further displays covering human history, geology and paleontology for this region of Arizona, which round out your visit to the Powell Museum. Overall, the museum exhibitions are rather brief, being made up of fair mix of of text, old photos and displays items - nothing too demanding on visitors. You can conveniently view everything in 20-30 minutes. There is a small gift shop on site where you might find souvenirs worth buying.
The ladies at the museum were very informative! Really enjoyed the museum, beautiful art and interesting facts about John Powell and his trip through the Grand Canyon, he even had ties to Maine! With a house built there and the bed frame on display.
A great place to take a break from the heat. The John Wesley Powell Museum is located with the local visitors bureau in downtown Page. The price is right when you consider the cost is free for the whole family. You will get a chance to learn the history of the Colorado River, explorers, local tribes, geology and dinosaurs. Don't forget to check the trading post as there are plenty of souvenirs for everyone.
This Museum is small, but shows pictures and model displays of John Wesley Powell and his explorations. There is an interactive exhibit where one can take a try at grinding corn into flour.
The girl at the front desk was amazing, has so much knowledge about the landscape and gave us a lot of information. And the suveniers were all so beautiful and that 3D map was so beautiful!
This was okay SUPER small museum but was fun the trading post was SUPER expensive like up to 1000s of dollars.
Great view of lake Powell, great service and very informative.
Great place to cool off and learn about the history of Grand Canyon exploration. Plus they have dinosaur info and Indian artifacts. Admission free but a donation is suggested. Enter through the visitor center.
Really enjoyed the exhibits, especially those pertaining to rafting the Colorado. Bathrooms were clean and well appointed, the staff were very polite and helpful and the gift shop was very nice.
History here is very interesting, the art work is amazing - great artists. Prices... Well, there is not sales tax in this non profit, so it's cheap!! Staff, amazingly helpful with lots of advice for the area.
