Review & FAQ:

The Aztec Ruins National Monument is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that protects some of the oldest remnants of Aztec culture in the United States.

Here you can step back in time nearly 900 years to walk in the footsteps of the craftsmen who used amazingly sophisticated engineering and building techniques to construct multi-story structures that have stood the test of time.

You will be met by a ranger at the visitors center, where you can watch a short orientation film and visit the museum.

You can explore the archaeological site on a self-guided tour or join a ranger-guided tour during the summer months, and children can have fun on a junior ranger program.
