Admission is $12 ($10 for New Mexico residents) and it is well worth it. It is very informative and has several interactive exhibits where you can watch and/or listen. I'm not from the area and found it all very interesting. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Albuquerque. They also have a restaurant and gift shop adjacent to the museum.

Excellent museum, knowledgeable staff, great restaurant. There was beautiful art and lots of historical information on the native people. There were local artists with art for sale. Nice gift shop.

This was a wonderful experience, and added a lot to my understanding of Pueblo cultures. We spent the afternoon going through the exhibits at a leisurely pace, immersing ourselves in everything. In addition, the gift shop is great! But the highlight is definitely the restaurant, featuring contemporary and delicious versions of traditional dishes, and local products. Absolutely don't miss it!

A must to engulf in the culture and history! There was plenty to observe and experience. Stunning handcraft made to view and or purchased. The team also seemed very knowledgeable and willingly shared the history.

They seem to have downsized the facility. The store's pottery selection is very limited. Visited many years ago and it was much more robust experience

Got to see a rather extensive exhibit of Pueblo culture items and history. They also had several rotating displays including skateboard art. Also, was there on a Sunday and got to see it a cultural dance. Overall an excellent cultural center I would recommend to see again.

What a beautiful place to immerse yourself with the history (sad and eye opening too) and experience their culture through watching their dances and sampling dishes. Loved their beautiful presentation of artwork from blankets to jewelry to photography etc.

I truly had no idea about the Pueblo culture and this was an amazing opportunity to learn more. From the dancing to the food (don’t skip either), to the interactive exhibits, I got a real sense of the pride and joy of the Pueblo community. They didn’t shy away from the pain of colonists, war, and boarding schools. Overall, a great way to spend an afternoon.

To enter the museum I think is $20 for non residents. When we went, we enjoyed the outdoor dancing (only on weekends) and it was free because the gate was open to that public area? I don't know if that was unintended though. We wanted to see the museum though, so we paid the admission after we watched the dancing.
Has anyone had luck visiting the website recently? I'm planning a trip but just would like to see it ahead of time and I'm getting a lot of IP address errors. Just wondering!

I live here in Albuquerque, so I have not had occasion to use the Web site.
It seems to be working now.

I would like some specific information about the American Indian Week in 2016. What are the exact dates? Where are the events held--are they all at the Cultural Center? Could you send me any additional information via e-mail? We are planning travel to New Mexico this coming April/May. Thanks for any additional information regarding this event.
