Lost City Museum of Archaeology

Fun little museum to beat the heat! $6 pp and it says military is free at the front desk but when I asked the attendant he said actually no it's not, so not sure about military discount but that's ok I'm happy to support the museum. Small museum but good amount of artifacts and the a/c feels really great at 2pm in June! The reconstructed buildings outside are cool to see how they may have looked. Also cool is that they have shaded kennels for your pets, as well as a gazebo type thing with grills but I'm not sure if the public is allowed to use them.

If you enjoy Southwest history both ancient & more recent, this museum is well worth the stop. It includes Anasazi/Puebloan artifacts, wonderful rock/mineral displays & great old photos of the local mining towns. The "lost city" was St. Thomas, a Mormon farm town which was covered by Lake Mead once Boulder Dam was completed in the 1930s. Fun book store too.

What a cool spot. My wife and I drove out today from Henderson to check this place out and it was really interesting. Love learning about ancient cultures and especially those who existed in North America. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. The women working today were all very friendly which is always huge bonus

Affordable entrance fee and plenty of exhbits about the area from natural to cultural history. There are some authentic souvenirs to buy. The staff are really nice too.

Nice Outdoors and indoors clean and very easy to see through the history of Nevada nativesVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

Friendly staff. Free for those under 18 years old. Otherwise it's $5/person. It's a quick stop. You need about 30 minutes to see everything. There is some neat history of the area. Lots of information to take in. There is a full sized model Pueblo as it would have looked 1000 years ago.

Fabulous collection. Very well displayed. If you know something about southwest archaeology be sure and talk to Virginia Lucas the resident archaeologist. She is super knowledgeable about southwest and southeast archaeology and will talk to you! Fabulous to take with and answer questions. Best visit ever to a small museum! Small gift shop.

Stumbled upon this little spot on our way to the hot springs. Amazing piece of history. I loved the floors, which our guide told us was polished sandstone from Lake Mead!!!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

It's worth the 5 bucks to get in. I was in the area.. if I'd traveled far to see it.. I'd have been a little less enthusiastic about it. I was far more impressed with the outdoor structures you can see for free.

The exhibits have a lot of geologic and archeological information, so this is a museum you could see once or come back to a couple of times. If you’re interested in Ancient Puebloan history, be sure to stop by. There aren’t many similar museums in the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
