This cave is owned by the family of the man who founded it. It has some artifacts from Indian cultures and a collection of dinosaur prints that were harvested from local areas, plus a mineral collection. It is, perhaps, a tribute to the founder more than as a museum to local history. He was a man of many interests and... More

The Moqui Cave is a fun, brief stop in the area near the National Parks in southern Utah. It's family owned by the Chamberlins and probably you'll meet Lex, who will tell you about it's history as a bar and dance hall during the heyday of western movies being filmed in the area near Kanab. His lovely daughter Sage was... More

Okay, it is probably a little high priced for what it is, but if you love cool quirky places, this is it. We loved checking out the rocks and dinasaur tracks and other memorabilia. The agate bar was worth the stop. We also are the type that loved meeting the owner and hearing his stories and meeting his daughter. A... More

This is just a cool stop along a long stretch of road. Kids liked the cave and the glowing mineral rocks. There is cool art and some cool history. Would have been awesome to stop at when it was a bar. More

This place was a total tourist trap. Admission to its museum was 5 bucks but it was a total waste! When we first went in, the guy who owned the place gave us a talk about "his" family history. The whole museum was basically about the guy's family history. Seriously, I could care less about some guy's family history. The... More

Stopped here by chance, found the entrance interesting Our host was very passionate about the history of the cave, from the bar operation during prohibitition, to his parent's purchase of the cave in the 1950's. This cave is very unique, with a large artifact display that took decades to assemble. We were quite taken with the place, and highly recommend... More

My wife and I drove pass the caves a few times visiting the local town of Kanab. Having a few hours to spare we parked up in the carpark and looked at the enterance and wondered from that point if it was a real cave or something that has been man made. Once inside and paid the fee you are... More
