Overview
The Moqui Cave is a historic sandstone cavern turned museum located just north of Kanab, Utah. Originally a speakeasy and dance hall in the 1950s, the cave now houses a unique collection of Native American artifacts, dinosaur tracks, and one of the largest displays of fluorescent minerals in the U.S. Visitors can explore three chambers filled with glowing rocks, ancient pottery, and relics from the region’s early settlers. The museum also features a gift shop offering Native American crafts and southwestern souvenirs.
Owned and operated by the Chamberlain family for over 50 years, Moqui Cave offers a quirky and educational stop along scenic Highway 89. The cool interior provides a welcome break from the desert heat, and the exhibits offer insight into both prehistoric and pioneer life in southern Utah. Whether you're a history buff, geology enthusiast, or curious traveler, Moqui Cave delivers a memorable and offbeat experience.
