Superstition Mountain Museum, Apache Junction

I've driven by this place many times and never stopped. Today I decided to stop, and I'm glad I did! This is a wonderful little museum. Parts of it are completely free, but there is a nice section inside that costs $6 for seniors. It is well worth the price. There are a lot of Native American artifacts and history, in addition to Lost Dutchman history. The outside displays are also interesting. They cover topics such as western movies, train history (with an amazing miniature track), and mining history. Stop by for a couple of hours! Oh, and you can get something to eat as well.

Fun & unique area! You can spend as much or as little time as you want here. All the activities are not always available so be sure to make sure you’re going at a time with what you want to see. The mining/ gold panning wasn’t available today but the trains were running & the shoot out show was happening! Not a lot of shady spots to hang out and cool down in outside though. The big indoor museum costs several dollars a person but you can also just come for all the rest of the activities which are free.
