Things To Know Before You Come

Exploration of new things and new places may require new skills. We want you, your family, and even your pet, to have a very safe and enjoyable visit at Casa Grande Ruins. Please remember that the park is located in the Sonoran Desert. In the summer that means very hot and dry conditions. If you have discovered you forgot an essential- a hat, sunscreen, lip balm, etc- do check in the park bookstore for such things on sale.
