  Small but nice museum with a great atmosphere for a quick family stop. It has a few live animals, interesting minerals, and exhibits about Native American history. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

  What a wonderful little museum in Yucca! I was pleased to find out that there is no admission fee and they only humbly ask for a donation if you choose to donate. There is a new exhibit on pioneer women, a small exhibit of live animals and insects, and a main room of minerals and animal displays. This is a great place to learn something new and escape the sweltering summer heat!

  This free museum is a must. They have interactive activities for young children. A display of local bugs and wildlife and some history of the valley. You can easily spend over an hour here. The workers are very informative and nice and it's a great place to escape the heat. Definitely make a stop here before you get to Joshua tree. There is a lot more to see here and do here, especially for kids than the Joshua Tree visitor center, but you should still check it out also.

  What an absolute treat to discover this place on our last trip to JT. Totally unexpected to find an art display with several cool exhibits! The nature side of the museum was awesome, live animals and amazing taxidermy examples too! Cleanup bathrooms also a plus.

  We spent about 90 mins at the Museum, mainly so our kiddo could play in the children's area there were a few exhibits about the area, also a great display on gems and also the dioramas of the desert inhabitants was neat! Donations are appreciated and it was well worth the time to go someplace quiet for a bit!
