The museum has several life sized reproductions of Chumash life that is interesting for kids. It is a small museum and the entrance fee is nominal. There are also hiking trails behind the museum with replicas of the Chumash Village. The Village burned down in the recent fire, but should reconstructed soon. My grandkids had a wonderful time in the museum and on the hiking trails. There is a nice gift shop with a variety of inexpensive items and books.

Visit The Chumash Indian Museum in Thousand Oaks! It is awesome! I highly recommend visiting this museum! This museum has both indoor and outdoor parts. I live just minutes away from here and I’ve visited the Chumash Indian Museum many times!

The 'museum' is just one room with dummies posed as if they were going about their daily life.
There is not much else here and it is not worth the entry fee.
The outdoor 'exhibits' are of the same interest level.
The ONLY saving grace is that the park in which the 'museum' is situated is amazing.
Shaded woodland trails, mostly on the level make for a really nice walk.
Downside, no dogs allowed even on a leash.

We had a school field trip to the museum. The guide was very entertaining and informational. Good to know the history of the local area. There are outdoor caves, huts and many things to see inside the museum.

This is a small museum but well laid out and interesting. If you time it right, there are special events and pow wows and sometimes they lead groups on a hike to one of the many caves in the area that have Chumash pictographs.

There is an admission fee or the museum, which is really tiny. There is good hiking (flat terrain, but watch out for snakes in hot weather). They also have Chumash type dwellings & things to see during your hike. Bring food & water, but a nice place to spend an hour or two on a Sunday! There are also restrooms.

There is an outdoor Indian Village that is a short hike and very authentic. When we came upon it the feeling was as if the residents were out hunting. We turned back to go to the museum after some time in the village, but for avid hikers there was plenty more good hiking to do. The museum was filled with wonderful items belonging to the Chumash Indians and gave us all a good insight into life in their time. They also have a guided nature hike to a cave that has ancient pictographs … there is a charge for it I think $10 per adult and $5 per child, but well worth it and helps to support the grounds and museum.

The Chumash Indian Museum has something for all ages. Great artifacts and insight into how the Chumash Indians lived in harmony with nature in the Conejo Valley. Hunting, fishing and farming tools were interesting and the museum was not crowded even though we visited on Thanksgiving weekend.
