Great bit of old Yuma history. Very interesting to wander the grounds and imagine life in prison decades ago. Well preserved and maintained. Would highly recommend taking time to visit this attraction while in Yuma.

Out visit was extremely interesting! The staff are wonderful! We even got a get out of jail free! The tour itself was eye opening! I cannot imagine surviving for very long in these cells! Hell I couldn't even get on the top bunk! What a place! Check it out if you are in Yuma!!

I love supporting locally-managed museums and sites. This is one is a gem. Yes, it's just a prison, but there is some very interesting history that gets presented. The demonstration was a little cheesy, but also quite fun. You get to wander around through the yard, guard tower, cell blocks, etc. Worth the entry price (I feel good about supporting the local organizations).

Park staff were friendly. Site has easy parking, lots of detail and history of the town, river access and prisioners. Its definately worth 2-4 hours.

I'd heard about the Yuma Territorial Prison, and this was one of the main attractions I wanted to see in Yuma. There is a lot of history associated with the prison, and the information you get in the museum gives a sense of what it was like in Arizona in the late 1880s and early 1900s. The facility is small, so it doesn't take long to go thought it. But for anyone interesting in the history of the west, this is a must see if in Yuma. It opens up at 9:00 am, so I suggest you get there early. Because the museum is fairly small, it get very crowded by late morning.

Place yourself back in time and imagine what life must have been like at this historic location. The self guided walk through of original and restored parts of the Prison is very interesting. The fee of $6, when we went, is well worth the price and they also have a great little gift shop that you may browse through when you exit. Bring your camera to catch a good view of the Colorado River and the surrounding mountains from the platform above the water storage facility. The museum building has plenty of artifacts, stories of prisoners and pictures of same. It really does a good job of bringing you back in time, to get an appreciation of what life was like at the prison. The jail cells, SallyPort, Dark Cell and other structures are the highlights in my mind. The prison is volunteer run and the staff in the gift shop were very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to visit.

We stopped here during our overnight stay in Yuma. The museum is small enough to keep small children interested but big enough to entertain even history buffs. There are interesting stories of the various inmates posted through out the prison. Great vistas are to be had as well. The museum is well maintained,.

What a cool place to visit! They offer a military discount ($3 entry fee!) and have a great museum. Lots of amazing artifacts and stories about the prisoners. I highly recommend visiting!
