    Dennis, the archeologist on site, is an amazing wealth of knowledge! He was willing to answer every question that we asked. Believe me that was a lot of questions. The displays are well done. We found his culture to be fascinating. If you enjoy history you like this site.Signs are minimal, so watch carefully as you go down the highway. Easy to spot once you get there.

    My family loves historical places so it was a good time for us! Bring your walking shoes because to see the mounds you take a walking tour. The whole tour is two miles and there is lots of shade and places to sit if need be. The man that works is very nice and knowledgeable. The interactive part is very nice and done well.

    The directions that I got by clicking on them through Trip Advisor took me to a neighborhood. Don't trust that link. It was a 2 mile walk to view all the mounds. It was interesting, but 90 degrees is too hot for a 2 mile trek.

    My husband and I walked the grounds and visited the inside museum. We have also been to Cahokia mounds in Illionos so knew what to expect. Go when the weather is mild and you will have a wondwrful time.

    I've been many times in the past, and walked the trails alone. I just thought it was a neat place to be alone for an hour or two. After visiting during the Autumnal Equinox and doing the guided tour, I realized just neat it really was. The archaeologist on site was very knowledgeable and informative. Great experience, but kind of a sad story.

    The museum was informative. Had no idea that there were native Americans here so long ago! We were disappointed that nearly all of the artifacts were replicas.

    We were the only two (2) guest at the Mississippian Indian Mound site. The only other person present was the director who was beaming with information on the site. Most of the artifacts displayed were reproductions, the originals belonging to various museums and the University of Oklahoma, but this did not take away from the outstanding craftsmanship of each piece. there is a walking path with a recorded guide pointing out the mounds and giving background information.The only down side is that you really have to watch for the signs on the highway for the turn off point. but once that is found you can't miss it. $4.00 for adults and we aid 3.00 for seniors. Their web site should be viewed for the price for kids and you should watch the videos there before you go.

    We only toured the inside exhibit, as we were all pretty sunburnt from our previous day!Our boys (14 and 15) were pretty bored, but my husband and I are very interested in the subject, and this was our first visit to a mound site, so we learned a lot, and are anxious to see other sites!The site's main mound had been pillaged in the 30's but many artifacts remain, and the exhibits are very informative.Really wish there was more research being done on these civilizations!

    We try to do something educational with our kids every weekend and this was a cool place to visit! I would love to see the state put some more funding into Spiro Mounds. I wish they had a guided tour.

    I suggest you visit this in the early spring or late fall. IT WAS HOT in June. The museum had lots of explanations and displays. A short movie helps you understand what went on and how the mounds were discovered. Walking the trails (paved) to the mounds and hut have "stops" with information to read. I just wished it wasn't so hot.

    Highly recommend visiting the Spiro Mounds. Small museum is interesting and the curator is knowledgeable. One of the big mounds was plundered in the early 1900s.
  • Puccinni
    ONE OF THE GREAT SITES for mound builders. Related to Cahokia Center near St. Louis. See the recent "National Geographic" article on Cahokia. The Shaman mask photo on second full page is in Spiro. Really good interpreter there too.
