We visited the Aztec Ruins and really enjoyed it. You get to walk through the ruins and there is an app on the phone that provides a tour of all the areas you will see. We thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot along the way!

Super nice and well kept! The rangers are helpful and there is a speaking app you can use to explain the different parts of the ruins! Really fun and the kids loved it as well!

Really nice park. Quiet place off the road, free admission, beautiful ruins, and lots of history. They also have bats living in the ruins and you have to walk through some of the areas with bats flying around. They also have a nice picnic area and we had lunch there. Helpful staff and neat little museum as well. Wonderful place to visit!!!

Nice place to visit if you are a history or early American cultures buff. Lots of rooms to visit. Available audio tour for free online. Not pet friendly. Amazing to see how our early American ancestors lived though!

This is a great addition or alternative to Mesa Verde with no hiking and very informative, easy to follow audio guide through an intimate walk through the site. Recommend starting with the 15 minute orientation video, which makes an effort to center Native voices.

My kids and I really enjoyed exploring the ruins. The audio tour really helps you to understand the layout of the ruins so definitely take advantage of it!
