We walked through the hall of presidents and first ladies. My favorite area was the local history of the native Americans and the areas mining and ranching. They have a very nice mineral exhibit and many other items of the area's history. My family also enjoyed being able to play a real working organ. The gift shop is well stocked and items are decently priced. They also have an exploration area when children and adults can examine items more closely. It was a very nice museum and my family truly enjoyed it."

There’s a lot to see, and it’s all really well put together. What makes it even better is the price. For just $20, you get access to all three museums—the Mohave Museum, the Historic Route 66 Museum, and the Bonelli House. That’s a great deal, and honestly, you won’t find a better bang for your buck. If you're in town, make sure to stop by. You won’t regret it."

a year ago"$10 per adult (free kids) to go into this Museum, along with the Route 66 Museum and the Bonelli House. My 5-year-old daughter and I enjoyed it! There's exhibits about Native Americans, gems, mining, desert animals, etc. Pretty much anything in history that happened in that area. My daughters' favorite part was the hands-on table, where you could use different types of antique phones! Definitely a worthwhile visit, especially because your ticket gets you into other places as well. The ladies at the front desk were super nice and explained that I could keep the receipt and even use it another day, or give it to someone else to use. Later my husband arrived, and they just let him in for free! We made sure to buy something at the gift shop to support them. They had little bags for $6.50 that you could fill with gems of your choice."

We liked the Arizona Route 66 Museum across the street at the power house. We expected that to be the best one of the three connected museums. As it turned out, we liked the Mohave better. This museum had a really nice collection. Starting with the Presidents and First Ladies of the United States Of America. Then it just went in different directions as the museum went on. I really liked it. It even had a small movie theater. There is also a library on site. As well as the expected, gift shop you will exit through. All in all a really nice museum. This museum is also very close to the other museums and parks. There is a deal where if you pay admission for one museum, you get admission to all three museums at no extra cost. We went to one museum the afternoon before when arriving in town. Then went to the Mohave the next morning with no extra charge. We didn't go to the third museum as we wanted to get back on the road. The ticket prices as of May, 2023 were $10 for adults. But $6 for adults over 60 years old. As I said, if you pay admission to one Museum. You get admission to two additional museums for no additional coast. Just do not lose the ticket they give you. It also works good as a book mark. So if you're in the Kingman area. Here's a fairly inexpensive way to spend some time with up to three museums. As such, it should be obvious that I recommend them."
