There is a museum and areas to tour with a guide. Only problem was that I couldn't get any cell phone service. Neither could the other two in my party. More

I found it kind of boring, i usually like places like this but not much to see on this Mound. Pictures, steps, and plaques, but nothing spectacular. Now my review is about the Mound only, I didn't have an interest in visiting the museum across the street. More

We have wanted to visit Cahokia for a long time and finally did. It was amazing. We first toured their museum and watched a short film about the site.

They are located near Collinsville, Illinois and are a magnificent specimen of mounds built by Native Americans hundreds of years ago. We climbed the highest mound, Monk's Mound, and were able to see the arches in St. Louis. More
