Sky City Cultural Center & Haak'u Museum

Don’t miss the kind ladies selling their handmade pottery and jewelry. We had the amazing opportunity to have conversations with them as we purchased our authentic Acoma pottery. They taught us so much about their culture and craft.
The cultural center and tour were great and informative. We are so thankful to Jeremy, the guide, for a great narration despite having a sore throat! Good from the cafeteria was great! Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Those who wish to visit the city itself must check in at the cultural center, where you can get on a tour. I didn’t know this in advance, so when we got there we had to wait for a while for the next tour. You could check their schedule on the center’s website, though it doesn’t seem like you can order tickets in advance on the website itself? It’s a cool tour regardless. It’s a beautiful place and please be respectful of rules.

This was an incredible place. Especially if you love ancient sights. Our tour guide, Brandon was so great. His knowledge of the past was remarkable. This is definitely a must see.

Wonderful pueblo housing on a plateau. The homes are still lived in, even though there is no running water or indoor plumbing. I highly recommend

Jeremy is GREAT at what he does, we had a great time and learned a lot. This was one of the best stops on our westward tour, we stopped here during the balloon festival last year and it wasn’t open. So it was a mission to get up there, and we did it. Loved it, See it!😳🤙

Unfortunately they weren’t open on a Wednesday. Make sure to check the opening days and hours before driving there. It must be a beautiful place to visit though and very impressive. We are glad we stopped there as even looking up was unbelievably beautiful. We will be back for sure and next time a bit better prepared so we can book a tour.

You can drive here and see this amazing area for free. It will cost you to take a tour of Sky City atop the Mesa. It was closed when we arrived at 6pm, but that's ok, because we had the entire place to ourselves (or so it seemed). An Elder stopped to talk to us and he was very welcoming and informative. This entire area is one that everyone should experience. You won't regret it!

Beautiful. Haunting. Really provocative if you think hard about the history of this place as well as the future for this resilient community.

This was an incredible experience! Jeremy, our tour guide, was so knowledgable and answered every question that got asked. The tour itself is a short walk through the pueblo where you can see original dwellings and buildings. Please be respectful! If you are asked not to film or photograph something, please respect that…especially the people. Be kind and enjoy this glimpse into Acoma life!

April 1, 2018: Really enjoyed the museum and great selection of native American jewelry which I purchased. The Acoma Pueblo was fascinating and so worth the trip. About 60 miles west of Albuquerque but a beautiful drive with lots of natural beauty. A must see if you're in the area.

It's been about 20 years since I previously visited Sky City, and it is obvious that the pueblo has invested significantly in its tourism offering. The visitor centre is really impressive, with an interesting (though fairly small) museum exhibit. Traders sell their wares in the courtyard outside. A bus takes visitors around the city on guided tours - big shout out to Jeremy, who was eloquent and fabulous. The tour really helped explain the ancient and modern history of the city. Afterwards, we returned to the cultural center and ate frybread in the café. It is no exaggeration to say this was the best meal we had during our stay in New Mexico. Highly recommended.

Went yesterday and enjoyed the Feast Day. It was a shortened tour by Jeremy of only the mission church. Then we watched tribal members dance in the small plaza on the mesa. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back!

This was a marvelous place. For $27 per adult (there are discounts for certain groups, such as Seniors), you'll get access to the museum and also book yourself a spot in a 1.5 hour tour of the Acoma Pueblo, a beautiful Native village located atop the nearby Mesa.

The Museum itself is rather small, but includes some beautiful exhibits related to the local area and its people. There's also a video that plays regularly providing some additional history and context about the area.

The tour is where this place really shines. The tour guide for my group was knowledgeable, passionate, funny, and very engaging as he walked us through his home and provided so many insights into this magnificent area.

While touring the village, along with getting an opportunity to take in the architecture, history, and culture, you'll also get some incredible views of the surrounding landscape. There are also lots of opportunities to purchase some of the incredible, hand-crafted or hand-painted works of the people who live in the village.

This was a moving, enriching experience, and I was very glad to have visited.

Great place to visit and experience the history of our country.

The tour was great. Totally worth it. It was awesome to be able to learn about this pueblo, and the Acoma people. Very friendly and peace loving. (I can't imagine groups of strangers meandering through my block every day!) The pottery is gorgeous, too.

I misunderstood and thought there were tours every half hour. They take place *hourly, on the half hour* (i.e., at 12:30pm, 1:30pm, etc.). The last tour is at 3:30pm, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time.

I'd recommend bringing some cash in case you want to buy some of the local art up in the village, though most of them did accept credit cards as well. The pottery runs from $100-300 (such a fair price for how much work goes into it, and the money goes directly to the artisans). There's also opportunities to purchase handmade jewelry and drawings from local artists in the village.

Really really well organized and beautiful exhibit on the history and cultural of the Pueblo people. They have obviously put a lot of effort into preserving their space and culture. We spent about 2 hours here, and it was a very educational experience. The tour guide was great. All of the staff and vendors are very friendly and willing to answer any questions, and it was a great experience to visit. If you're in the area and have a morning free, I definitely recommend stooping by!

Small but we'll presented native American museum. The facilities are all new and the people running it, especially or tour guide we're all great. Interesting look at how native Americans lived and their journey to the current day. Well worth the drive to visit. #culture #nativeamerican

This was an amazing experience of art, architecture, views and culture that I highly recommend when visiting New Mexico. When you walked through the doors (beautiful large wooden doors) you immediately feel the presence of the culture you’re about to be immersed into. I was disappointed that the Sky City tour was on hold because of Covid, but I respect the tribe leaders taking extra precautions for the safety of those living in the village. They do offer affordable virtual tours available in the museum so you can get a glimpse of the in-person tour. Tables are set up where you can purchase original drawings, pottery and jewelry. I viewed a live dance performance during my visit and it gave me goosebumps. Watching the dancers on an reservation with the village looking down on you is an experience to have once in your lifetime.

The history here is amazing! There are breathtaking views all around. Be sure to check out the gift shop, and don't be afraid to offroad a little. There are some gorgeous places around the base of Acoma. Watch for cows :)

Came here for the tour of the Pueblo. The tour was amazing, reasonably priced, and our guide was very knowledgeable. The residents of the Pueblo were all very warm and welcoming to us. This is an area that is steeped in history, and is a must see for those traveling on I-40.
