This is a very small museum with a large gift shop attached. The museum has several sets from older western movies. It's cute and small. Don't expect to spend there much time. There is a large gift shop attached. The staff there was very friendly and I really enjoyed talking to them and buying gifts for my family there. More

Museum is quite small and interesting but in definite need of some TLC. Entry cost is by donation. Gift shop is quite extensive and worth a stop. More

It is small, but if you love old movies, it is worth taking the time to visit. There is a history of filming in and around Kanab and some genuine scenery from a number of films. It is free to get in, just leave a donation. There's a good sized gift shop too. More

This is such a fantastic, fun stop if you are driving through Kanab. I've stopped on both trips and taken some fab photos. The shop staff are super friendly and it is never too busy, so you can have a look around at your own pace and take some fantastic photos. A true asset to Kanab if you ask me! More

We visited the museum over the weekend. There is a large gift shop and a small area out back with a dozen or so pieces from movie sets. It didn't take long to look around but I learned a few interesting things about Westerns and their history in Kanab. We were only there about a half hour but the staff... More

We'd have been annoyed if we'd had to pay! A small handful of movie sets, like The Outlaw Josie Wales and references to a lot of Westerns we hadn't seen. By all means, stop by if you have a few minutes and need gifts to take home to your friends. But don't expect a whole ton of memorabilia. More

I would like to thank you for stopping at the Little Hollywood Movie Museum and for taking the time to write about us on TripAdvisor. It's true that the Museum is pretty basic – the experience is primarily the opportunity to explore movie sets and get a glimpse of the movie magic involved in making styrofoam look like rock or...

OK, this is not your average museum. There is a large gift shop in front and genuine movie sets out back from the days when Kanab was known as "The Little Hollywood of the West" (over 300 of the classic Westerns were filmed here, including Gun Smoke and the "Hi Ho Silver" scene . The totally fun and unusual part... More

Fun little place to stop. Nice gift shop and the movie museum has many recognizable sets. Took lots of goofy pictures with the dogs which added to the enjoyment. :) More

We went to the Little Hollywood Movie Museum and Frontier Town with our kids ages 3-15. It was really disappointing. There were only a handful of sets to see, and the presentation was horrible. Even my movie-buff husband was disappointed. We hit the whole thing in about 15 minutes. I think the museum may be a hook to get you... More
