A very high quality, well put together, and thought out museum and cultural center. It is very obvious the care and consideration that went into the creation of this museum. With intricate and engaging displays, that put you in the middle of the educational experience, and well researched documentaries prepare to spend several hours here to just get started!

One of the best museums I have visited. It is very informative and must say the recreation of the ancient's village & lifestyle is so wonderful. It looks very natural and everyone can connect to it.

Outstanding, if one-sided, exhibit of a tribal history. I would need more than one day to thoroughly examine everything.

My family really enjoyed learning about the native peoples of the American northeast and the Peqout tribal nation in particular. The model of the village was absolutely fascinating and the tribe's specific history was emotional and inspiring. I felt that it was really important that my children gain an understanding of the history of native Americans from a non-European perspective. This experience taught us all so much.

Thank God for Jesus. My Native American families have provided me with the most beautiful experience. The grounds are pristine and the staff are very courteous. The museum was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes and the observation tower had me speechless. I plan to visit again because I wasn't able to see everything in 2 1/2 days. The Mashantucket Nation is breathe taking & if you haven't visited yet, make your plans now. Thank you Mashantucket Nation. Thank you. Oh, and I stayed at the Two Trees Inn and it was wonderful.

Beautiful, huge, Smithsonian quality museum. Seriously, if you live in southern New England, or are visiting, very worth a days visit (and it will take a good part of the day). Very informative with a lot of thought (and money) put into it. I really appreciated the incredible architecture and attention to detail of the history of a people and a place.

My only wish is that it had an exhibit area appropriate for small children. We brought a five and three year old, but there aren't any interactive exhibit areas for kids, which really seems a shame considering the subject matter. I can think of many Native American related activities that would have really held their interest. It would also have been nice if there were knowledgeable real people in the village area (or elsewhere) that were demonstrating activities or that we could have asked questions of (maybe during the weekend there are live demonstrations).

The other issue we noticed is that it's a little difficult to navigate the museum if you can't do stairs, since you have to take three different elevators to get from the lowest level to the cafe area. FYI the cafeteria has excellent unusual food with a native/local theme, and it's priced quite reasonably.

I had an amazing time here! I took my family here for the first time because my wife loves history, especially native American history. We bought a membership immediately because I knew we would be back.

Also, because we went on this particular weekend, they had a special members only tour of the archeology lab. It was definitely interesting!

The exhibits are so lifelike and really paint a vivid picture of the every day lives of the Pequot Indians during that time.

If you have the opportunity to visit, do it and get a membership, because it make take two or three trips to experience everything and see everything.

Amazing museum. I can spend a day there once a month. I esp. like the giant walk-through diorama room. Works class!!! I wish only the the museum was even larger!!

We love the events sponsored by the museum as much as we enjoy the collection. A great place for introducing younger (and older!) students to not always taught aspects of American history.

What we thought would be a short part of our day ended up turning into a 5 hour tour through history - and we don't regret it! The highlight was the model village with a self guided audio tour that allowed you to explore at your own pace and get more details on what interested you. Very glad to have found this spot, and happy to recommend it to future travelers!

Interesting museum but not laid out well. Lots of unused spaces that could be utilized better. Store was lacking in books and locally made items.

A great learning experience opportunity. Give yourself at least 3 hours to really see everything. There are pictures, artifacts, a movie, a WHOLE village with a recorded guide and more besides. You can purchase a guide tour, but it's nice to go at your own pace once. There are group tour available too. There staff members positions throughout the building to help if you get turned around. They were rather quiet but polite. This museum is insightful. It is a story that needs to be told. I hope to returna few more times!
