You'll need to give yourself 2 or 3 hours to do this properly, so maybe bring a picnic or afternoon tea. Sadly not one of the best funded archaeological sites, but still well worth the visit. The staff were very friendly and it's worth just absorbing the place and thinking about what kind of culture built it.
One of the most significant archaeological sites in the US, though sadly underfunding has lead to a somewhat rundown condition currently. The staff/volunteers are wonderful. Well worth the trip for anyone interested in archaeology or Native American history.
Be ready to walk. Its really cool tho.
There is a lot of history here but the museum was really small and it wasn't very exciting. Could have been a lot better .
Great little museum, lots of interesting artifacts indoors and we learned a lot about the spiro people :) definitely go inside. As for the trails.. I dont really recommend it for kids, a lot of the trails have mounds where things "used to be" and so there isn't actually much to look out outside. Also, they give you a trail guide which is a printed booklet with numbers that tells you about each marker on the trails. It's got a lot of errors and didn't seem to be printed correctly, so it would be nice to see that fixed next time we visit. Because there is so much trail, you spend the majority of the time there and I feel like you actually interact with very little. This weighed pretty heavy on my personal experience.
