Our guided tours begin with a short ride to the top of the 367-foot-high sandstone mesa to the historic pueblo village of Sky City and San Esteban del Rey Mission. Tribal Members lead the walking tours sharing Acoma’s unique Native American history and culture in the type of oral presentation that our people have been passing down for many, many centuries. Considered one of the best cultural tours in New Mexico, Acoma Sky City ranks in the "top 10 great places to honor American Indian Life" --USA Today.
The tour is one hour and fifteen minutes long and covers approximately three-quarters of a mile (note: there is some uneven/rough terrain). Local artisans sell their crafts during the tour; however most do not accept credit cards or checks, we do have an ATM machine onsite for your convenience.
Check in at the admissions desk at the Sky City Cultural Center and Haak’u Museum to purchase tickets and camera permits. Discounts available to Haak’u Museum Members or Friends of Sky City – simply show your membership card. Join Now
