Great museum! They give you an audioguide when you start the tour. You will learn a lot of things on the Delaware Indian Community that lived in the area for hundreds years. They also have a great gift shop with several artisanal items.

Nice 30 minute self guided tour. Very informative. Only complaint is that you are a little rushed through the tour. They start the information about the next room without time to check out all of the displays in the previous room. Nice gift shop. Overall a nice little museum.

This is an awesome museum which has so much to offer to anyone who wants the true meaning of the Indian heritage. It is fascinating as adults because we tend to forget things as we age but it is also a great learning experience for kids. We love the self-guided tour and appreciate that is not expensive which makes it fun to bring the entire family and friends.We also love the gift shop which has something for everyone. Its most definitely a fun day out to enjoy and pick up several unique souvenirs. The owners are wonderful as well as their staff. Customer Service is very friendly and helpful. This is a year round store and museum that also caters to skiers and summer sports. I highly recommend visiting the Pocono Indian Museum as we keep going back time after time.

This is a nice place to visit when youre looking for something to do on a rainy day. Its small but well done. It gives a solid background on the local flora and fauna intertwined with the history and culture of the local peoples who lived in the region. The tour is self guided and you get little devices to the narrate the exhibits. The place is a little old and could use a spruce up but dont let that dissuade you from stopping in and learning about the area and indigenous peoples.

Small museum filled with unique pottery made without a wheel, and information about native American history especially Lenape. Tickets for self guided tour 7$ - adults. Do not mess with sound device it will start from beginning. The store is packed with nice gifts even ski gear, a lot of hand made stuff. For me the second level mainly bookstore was amazing (historic, cooking, herbal, everything connected to the nature topics)

A wonderful fact filled treasure about the Native American heritage of the area we enjoy every time we visit. We always get a book or two and take the self guided tour. The gift shop offers items you just can’t find anywhere else. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. You won’t be disappointed to add this attraction to any visit to the Pocono’s. A year round store also caters to ski and summer sports.

I worked for 23 years. And what I can tell you is in all the time I was there I made a lot of friends. Customers who came back year after year. Customers, who said they came to the museum, because they felt peaceful while they were there. Enjoyed the museum itself, very educational. We also had a Chief Sam Beeler, who complimented how well the museum was put together. He also raved about our library, a lot of knowledge. He would also buy books and teach people who wanted to learn about different tribes.He would also host an annual festival at the Patterson falls in New Jersey. Don’t let the reviews scare you, come out and see for yourself.

The gift shops had a wide range of merchandise. The woman who ran the main shop was extremely pleasant and helpful. The museum itself was filled with interesting artifacts. I liked that you had an individual device that allowed you to listen to a recorded tour as you went from room to room. The cost was very reasonable - $7 for an adult and $3.50 for children under 16.

Review №25

Great experience. I grew up less than an hour from here and both my parents were elementary school teachers and there was a lot of Native American history and culture we did not know despite learning about these communities. Its interesting to hear my middle and high school students perspective and how it has evolved.The museum did a great job with social distancing and ensured groups were spaced and the audio tour was done via a hand held speaker.The shop at the end was good too. Everyone bought something.

It was a great experience, learning the Native American history was awesome. I highly recommend visiting this place when you come down to Pennsylvania! I met the owners of this place, it’s a husband and wife their great people as well!

Review №27

Fun and interesting little slice of history. Only issue was that the audio player was hard to use. When we increased volume it ended up returning to the beginning of the tour and there was no way to fast forward. So we had to listen from start and then we just ended up not using the audio because my 9 yo was too impatient to listen through again, understandably. Great. extensive gift shop. Was surprised the employees there didnt know more about North Eastern Indian tribes or have a handy guide...

Not a very big museum but we still enjoyed it. They give you a little audio box to carry with you that walks you through the museum and explains everything. It was nice and makes you really stop to look at everything and pay attention to the history. Its about a 30 minute tour of the museum and the little gift shop connected has a lot of really cool things you can purchase.

Very informative museum about the local Indians to the Delaware Valley. The audio tour was about 30 mins and is self guided. Definitely worth checking out and I learned some things from it. The gift shop at the end is huge and has some really cool stuff. We ended getting a bunch of stuff. It shares a building with the ski shop so it can be a little confusing when you arrive.

An educational and fun museum! The gift shop has countless amounts of fun items youll be sure to love.

Have lived in the poconos 15 years about, and have always wanted to visit but often find myself reluctant to do the things tourists do, but was doing instacart today and delivered right by it so I told my husband I wanted to go in and check it out. I wasnt sure if it was going to be worth it ; well the 7.00 admission price for the self guided tour was very affordable, the displays werent corny either (like other attractions in the area), we were the first ones there so we toured alone and at our own pace, Ive always been interested in and appreciative of native cultures - and given the pocono history there was lots of information and education to soak up during the tour. The gift Shop was beautiful carrying both novelty and native made items. I got the most beautiful doll and pair of moccasin boots Ive ever seen! And my husband got some items too! The gift shop is 3 levels so theres something for everyone there!!! Very impressed and pleased that we stopped!!!

Its a small place, but its available for a very reasonable price. The self-guided audio tour was just long enough as a field trip for our four children under 10 to find it interesting but not too long or overwhelming. A great way to spend an hour or two on a rainy day in the Poconos.
