Local pride runs strong at this museum dedicated to the history of the Southwest. From recreations of prehistoric Indian dwellings, to displays outlining the area's settlement by 19th century white men, this place constantly draws your attention. You can gaze in awe at life-sized dinosaurs, pan for gold and search for secret treasure, or explore a Spanish mission and examine authentic pottery,... more

The Mesa Southwest Museum boasts the state's largest collection of dinosaur fossils and dinosaurs - fearsome creatures of the animatronic persuasion. The Valley's only natural history museum not only has the best dinosaurs in town, but also a history courtyard where visitors pan for gold, a gallery that includes a replica native village and pottery, and three changing exhibition galleries.

A dead-on favorite with kids in the throes of their dinosaur phase, Mesa Southwest Museum has permanent animatronic dinosaur exhibits that are very lifelike. For non-dino fans, the museum offers full-scale dioramas of ancient cave-dwellers and a primitive village settlement, a real-live jail and a panning-for-gold stream that rivals Knott's Berry Farm. Parents can go for coffee breaks on the... more

The Mesa Southwest Museum is a great place to take your family. It looks small on the outside, but wait until you get in.

Not only are there a ton of dinosaur bones/models to look at, there's also an animatronic dinosaur scene with a flood every 20 minutes.

The exhibits go beyond dinosaurs. They have a turtle exhibit with live turtles, a special exhibit area that changes continuously, and the... more

The Mesa Southwest museum is very much a natural history museum with a variety of attractions that range from dinosaur skeletons and displays, an Arizona art gallery, prehistoric history area with adobe huts, old prison cells, an area to pan for (fools) gold, rocks and minerals and meteroites, a children's activity room, and various other attractions. Of course the coolest thing is the three... more
