I used to live down the road from the museum, but that was before it’s existence. I love the Superstition Mountains. I live up in Oregon now, and when I knew I was going to be visiting AZ, I googled to see what was going on close to where I was staying. The DeGrazzia exhibit was going to be at the Superstition Mountain Museum. I didn’t even know there was a Superstition Mountain Museum! I enjoyed looking at the exhibit, perusing the gift store and all the outdoor attractions! Can’t wait to visit again!

What a beautiful setting and quaint exhibits. The volunteers are helpful and knowledgeable. The 20 stamp mill is so impressive and the Apacheland barn has some great memorabilia. I have been here several times and always enjoy their special events too. A «must stop» when in the area. Gift shop has cool stuff too!

This a very small exhibit but enchanting to have a pick nick at. The Superstition Mountains make a picture perfect post card. Anyone who watches old western movies would truly appreciate this museum. We did and would go back.

It was a nice stop. We went through the out building and took pix with the campy «Elvis». The volunteers were helpful with suggestions/​coupons of other places to go.
We skipped the museum as we could see a couple moth eaten stuffed animals near the entrance and weren’t interested enough to pay to see more.

Maybe it’s just me but I found the Superstition Mountain Museum extremely boring. The chapel where Elvis filmed a movie was pretty interesting, but overall, it wasn’t that interesting. Inside there was a TV and a fake Elvis statue in the front. On the walls were pictures that were filmed at Superstition Mountain, which was probably the most interesting thing of all.
The museum itself you had to pay $ 2 for entry fee. The gift shop was nice.
Would I tell someone to go there if you’re in the area? Maybe. It depends if it’s what you’re into.
We were trying to kill some time and this definitely helped kill time but it wasn’t as much fun as everyone was making it out to be.

Nice little station on the way to the north mountain paths: the ladies at the desk were most helpful in helping me figure out what paths I should take for the day. Usual gift shop cheesiness but this is unavoidable. Nice little touch are the rustic desert buildings (church, jail, hammersmith, etc) which make nice pictures for the backdrop of the mountains. There was a nice little $ 1.50 map shows all the trails.

I like this museum. My daughter and I both discovered so much history with just a quick tour. I can’t wait to come back and explore the rest of the area and the outside structures. The volunteers are enthusiastic and helpful. The gift shop is well supplied with locally produced items. I am happy to see that the Elvis Chapel and Barn from the Apacheland Studios are preserved here.

We wanted to check out the local mountains of Phoenix, we happen to find this little shop. You are able to take a self-​guided tour about the lost Dutchman for $ 5 per adult. The kids did not seem too interested, but tried to make it fun. Indian jewelery was nice and some of the trinkets were inexpensive.
We hiked up the hill, which had rattlesnake warnings! Stay on the path! Whatever, we found some nice colored rocks and took some great pictures of the mountain. It was too hot to walk to other sites around the shop. But it made our trip a little nicer.

Here in the shadow of Superstition Mountain, you will find a museum of artifacts, history and folklore of the surrounding region, in central Arizona. That’s hot. This area is believed to contain the richest gold mine in the world. THAT’S hot. It’s called the Dutchman’s Lost Mine. The «Dutchman» was Jacob Waltz, who died in the late 1800’s, supposedly without revealing the site of the mine. Treasure hunters are still searching, to this day. (Hint: Weaver’s Needle rock formation might point the way when the sun is in perfect position.) The museum is open every day except Christmas.
