We were really impressed with the interpretation and accessibility of this site! They have obviously geared this toward educating children as well as making it interesting for adults. It's amazing that they have these protected ruins right there in the city! It's a great historical site to visit and really gives you a feel for how the Hohokam people lived. More

This is an authentic Hohokum village that has been excavated in Phoenix. The trail is easy to follow and the posted information informative. There is more inside, including a video and helpful assistants to answer questions. More

We spent a little over an hour here. Much of it is outdoors and walking so if it's a warm day go early. It was interesting to see the ruins of on old indian village but not overwhelming. It started with a video (10 mins I think) that gave a good overview. There was also an indoor portion that you... More

Spent a couple hours here on a recent Saturday morning. The museum is interesting, really enjoyed learning about the Hohokam people and the grand canal system. It is amazing what they accomplished. It was a nice, short stroll to view the ruins. They were a little disappointing, I understand they are subject to wind and water erosion, vibrations from traffic,... More

Pueblo Grande offers just about something for everyone. Our group included toddlers, 30-somethings and senior citizens and everyone had a good time. Exhibits include indoor (meaning relief from the Arizona heat!) and outdoor, passive and interactive. Kids can recreate a Hohokam village with blocks, smash corn kernels on a stone and "decorate" a pot using an "etch-a-sketch" type device. Umbrellas... More

Visiting Pueblo Grande archeological park makes time stand still and you're only a hop away from Sky Harbor Airport. This is a great city site that is interesting for all to learn about the history of the area. Let the kids run along the winding paths. More

Very interesting archeological site located within the modern day city limits of Phoenix, tracing life back to @450AD. Nicely laid out trails show you how life may have been for the Hohokam Tribe. Good indoor museum displays artifacts. The City Of Phoenix Parks Department manages the site. We went in early February when the temperature was 69f. There are several... More
