Arizona's first state park preserving the 1752 Spanish presidio. Underground archaeology displays, historic buildings, and the story of the Juan Bautista de Anza expedition to California.

Friendly staff, beautiful grounds. The museum contained more information and exhibits than I anticipated. If you love history this is not to be missed.

Vivid and beautiful. Well-lit and well-labelled: better put together than Tumacacori. We left only a half-hour to look around and regretted it

I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The museum was very impressive; a large collection of a variety of artifacts that are very neatly displayed with clear descriptions and identifications. A more pleasant experience than some much larger museums we’ve visited. There are several areas with displays that encourage visitors to touch objects, a nice touch. In the meeting building we could touch the carriage and feel the tension in the suspension, first time we’ve seen that be allowed! The paintings in the meeting building were beautiful. Would love to have purchased the $15 book contains shots of the paintings, but they were sold out. The Rojas house was fascinating. Allowed us to get a real feel for life in the 50s-60s. We were disappointed that the excavation area was closed. The $7/person fee was worth it, a good contribution for a museum that doesn’t receive money from the state. We bought a book in the gift shop, an easy way to further contribute. The volunteers obviously care a great deal about the Presidio and are proud to share it with the public. I highly recommend a visit. Bring your glasses as there are lots of fascinating facts to read and maps to peruse. The chalkboard lists in the schoolhouse were a fascinating glimpse into a different era; they provided some chuckles too!

A wonderful historic site! Very well kept and informative! Lots of interactive pieces for children. My daughter loves the photo scavenger hunt and the dress up. My Son loved the school house and the the maps!

I really enjoyed Tubac Presidio State Park. The self-guided tour was interesting. I found that the Historic Schoolhouse, archeological remains of the Presidio and the Rojas house were very some of the highlights for me. The museum is also very extensive.
