1st time there, small exhibits. But I believe that the trails are the main attractions. I would go again, but not in the summertime. Remember when you are walking the trails, watch out for snakes.
A very nice place. The museum part is very nice and pretty, with many interesting things to see. The outdoors part is also very fun, the little walk it takes to get to the structures is totally worth it! In my opinion everyone should see this, just so they can have a glimpse of what it was like before us.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
I’ve taken a group on a field trip here with only a glance around inside. I saw historical lifestyle references and could see a working knowledge of those who inhabited this land long ago! After returning back to the Thousand Oaks area, I decided to stop by and get a better look. Unfortunate for me that the museum was closed just before I arrived! The Chumash Indian Museum is now open on Saturday and Sunday, 11:00am - 3:00pm. Not to be deterred, I continued around the grounds, noticing the native art and village. There’s outdoor class seating with an indigenous native style of huts. Beyond that point, trails meander through an oak tree forrest. As part of the Oakbrook Regional Park, visitors are welcome to hike, jog or bike inside the gates, beyond the museum. The gates are closed at sundown, so better to allow enough time to enjoy it, without rushing back to get out before then!
Awesome museum. Wish the tours would resume. Even has a modern day pictograph panel of what they believe it looks like.
Attended the flintmapping lecture and practice. Great learning and applying of the techniques demonstrated.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Wonderful small museum. Nice building with informative exhibits created with actual artifacts used in daily life by prehistoric Chumash people. They have a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The museum hosts a number of excellent events and workshops. They also have a nice, accessible trail through the oak forest on their property and an outside area demonstrating ancient Chumash housing and village life. Around the museum there are native plant gardens with all the plants clearly labeled which would be a great resource for those who are changing their landscaping to be more drought-tolerant.
The Chumash Indian Museum is a fantastic little museum to visit. There is a small garden with plants labeled for easy identification. The displays in the museum are very detailed and educational. I absolutely love the art on display. They also have a little shop with books, items for kids, baskets making kits and tshirts. There is a trail that I did not go on but sitting under the oak trees is a great place to draw.
Very quaint yet informative. The docents are very nice. I also enjoy the outdoor portion!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait

My eight year old son and I really enjoyed this museum. It was the perfect size to enjoy for an hour or two without being overwhelming. We purchased some books and activities in the store to take home and continue learning.
