Great historical stop when in the Sedona area. Dwellings dating back to 1000 AD. Maintained by the National Park Service.

Van

a very pleasant, shaded walk. you can also visit tuzigoot and the well with your ticket. all three are good for a quick day trip. though the well requires a little more walking, it’s worth it.

Michelle S

This place is a must see! It's $10 to get in and well worth it. Only negative is bathrooms are nasty. On the way out stop and get some fry bread from the shack on the corner.

Mathew Mullen

Love seeing a park that's well looked after and staffed with folks that want to be there! Easy access , and our annual pass worked here!

Mike Winn

Good stop on way to/from Sedona . A quick 1 hour dose of culture. Be sure to chat to Sam - supper knowledgeable retiree guide.

eric bornemann

Scenic cliff dwellings that you view from a beautiful creek bed. Nice in the winter when the leaves have color.

Christie Prince

The area is super beautiful and very accessible. It long but easy to get around and good info.

Matt Ferrari

Amazing that some of it is still here to see!

Steve Romanchuk

Very interesting and educational . Excellent family expedition for all ages.

AzScenicTours

Great picture spot with the Arizona Sycamores near the path to "Castle A". Find Ranger John and ask him where the southernmost mile high city in the US is.

Michele LeSure

Worth the $5 admission - kids under 15 get in free. Lots of great sights in such a small area.

Kristi L.

Admission is around 5 bucks..and you have to walk 1/3 of a mile to see Montezuma 's Castle . May not be the best thing to see if you or your guests have limited mobilty.

Eric Brown

Pretty nice park . Small and super friendly rangers .

Gabrielle

Check it out if you have time and want to pay $10/pp, oherwise look at it on the internet!

Shirley Seely

Nice little walk in history but they still have the stupid mask wearing to go through store

HISTORY

This 20 room high-rise apartment , nestled into a towering limestone cliff, tells a 1,000 year-old story of ingenuity and survival in an unforgiving desert landscape.

Going here on the way to Grand Canyon w/ a group of 4? Pick up a National Park Annual Pass for $80 & it will already almost pay 4 itself. (Save $20 here & the $25/car entry into GC).

Alex Randow

I'm not sure how you cannot like this place. Native American ruins dating back to 1000AD. Very well maintained by the National Park Service,

Victoria Bellias

It was very interesting. We were able to listen to an educational Ranger presentation.

Telecasterman

A must see between Sedona and the Grand Canyon

Randy Shivprasad

It's worthy of the 5$ fee. Interesting stuff that makes for nice photographs .

Tawnya Ballard

Make sure you take time to chat with Sam, 84 years young tour guide.

Jon Darveau

Neat place, amazing to see it so well preserved. Worth the $5

Mary C

Beautiful views

Alex Randow

Nice museum and friendly Park Rangers to assist.

Divina Flor

Nothing to do with the Aztec emperor Moctezuma. Still, very interesting to see.

Julia Landes

Admission price of $5 is a rip off. Just come in without paying if you really want to see it!

Chere Lenz

Go in cool weather ... it's hot up here

Victor Vic

Grab some Frybread off montezuma rd before arriving to the Castle

Jenny L.

Interesting, but not much to see for the $10 fee. If you're over 61 you get discounts

Steven

Worth the money!

Amy DeLoach

Visit the gift shop .

Navah Berg

Come during national park week, it's free!

Ece

Love this trail. Amazing views once you get to the very top. Be wary of the trail coming back down. One of the more difficult climbs for me, but my favorite - Sofia Rodriguez
