Maidu Museum & Historic Site - Roseville (CA)

3 /5 Yonkers Channel: Unfortunately, the second story of the museum was closed. The displays are interesting, can just about finish viewing the museum in less than an hour. We did take advantage of the outdoor dining area just outside the museum before taking the .25 mile walking trail around the federally preserved land. Though we missed the scheduled guided walking tour, the docent generously volunteered to take us around after we finished our picnic lunch. She provided us with interesting facts about the area, but part of the trail was closed. Its an ok museum, there are more interesting ones around the Sacramento region. Its not one Id look to come back too, but maybe if I had out of town guests and looking for something to show them.

4 /5 coachlunk Rubio: Great place to walk around. The petrogliphs are really cool. The staff know their stuff and will answer all your questions.

5 /5 Joanne Scott: Very interesting museum, especially the outdoor half mile interpretive trail looking at the natural world and petroglyphs.

4 /5 Andy M: First time coming here. Parking is a bit confusing, with no designated parking lot. Unless you park in the activity area which was closed. So we had to park on the street, next to apartments. The museum is almost hidden in a sense. Its modern and not that visible besides the sign out by the sidewalk. The inside is really nice and clean. Really cool stuff, and the gentleman working the front desk was very friendly and welcomed our family. We came on a Wednesday so not that many people besides us, maybe if most 3 other families. The admission is $5 for adults. Children under 5 are free. They also have outdoor seating before you hit the walking trail. The trail is not that long, btw, nice sites as you walk. The museum is stroller friendly. As far as the trail, it can get bumpy if you take a stroller on the trail. Very small museum but a relaxing experience.

4 /5 Christina F.: I attended as chaperone for my sons field trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Street parking. Recommend bringing cash in case the machine is down. We had a nature trail hike (easy and short) to learn about the natural environment (plants, food, etc). Then we toured the museum and played some games. I only wish there was more space for the kids to get their wiggles out. Also wish they talked about the poor treatment of the indigenous people (kids are in 3rs grade).
