Highly recommend this gem. Get the guided tour. Learn about Arizona and Yuma history from over 100 years ago. Plan to spend about 2 hours here with the tour.

This is an interesting piece of history. The museum and display are interesting, and the guided tour adds a lot to the experience.

This is an excellent museum. Nice displays and information with out being overboard. Forty five minutes to an hour is sufficient time to view and do some reading. The cell block area is very interesting. Gift shop available. Highly recommend

Joanne Kaye | Oct 26, 2019
S Gonzalez | Oct 26, 2019

The prices for entry are more than the website says. Once you pay. Youll be greeted outback by a gentleman with a map of the complex. Self guided tour. I took my children a few weeks ago. Its definitely changed since I was a kid myself. But take your time and enjoy the history.

ARE there still legitimate prisoners in Yuma Prison and if not when did incarceration end? THANKS max oliver

Max Oliver | Oct 26, 2019
Dagan Rose | Oct 26, 2019

No prisoners, the location acted as a prison until 1909, and was closed due to overpopulation. Then it was a high school and I think a shelter at some point. Still worth checking out if you have some extra time and cash to play with.
