We are staying in Casa Grande and decided to go to the ruins that are actually in the town of Coolidge. The monument is run by the National Park Service but they do not charge for admission. The ruins are very interesting as they were abandoned over 700 years ago and still have quite a bit of the settlement remaining. We enjoyed the ruins and would reccomrnd them if you have the time.
In the age of Covid we needed to wear a mask and maintain social distancing. There were none of the usual guided tours, but we were given information about doing a self-guided tour. Staff were courteous and informative. The place itself is awesome. No fees at this time. It's worth the time.
We took a detour on our trip home, and toured Casa Grande ruins. Was a very interesting place to visit over 700 years old. Awesome that the structure is still standing. The walk to view was very nice they have a picnic area. The park staff that was on duty was very nice. The gift shop has some great merchandise from tshirts to mugs plus all sorts of things, I found their book selections awesome! From interesting books for children and adults as well as info on the local area! Well worth the visit.
This is an easy park to get in and out of within 20 minutes. There are lots of informational signs to read about the history of the ruins. There are restrooms and a small bookstore. The park is free to get into. Note that the hours listed on Google are incorrect. The park is open 9am-4pm on Monday through Saturday. The ruins are over 700 years old and were first discovered in 1694 by a Spanish explorer. Interestingly, the explorers observations in his journal have been confirmed by modern archeological finds. The ruins also have an amazing observatory built into it, including for summer and winter sun solstice as well as a lunar solstice that occurs only once every 18.6 years. The ruins are much higher than any ruins nearby. The ruins have been protected by a modern overhang/roof, and building/structural reinforcements.
