The staff are very attentive, talkative, and knowledgeable. Favorite part was the museum and just talking to the care taker staff who approached us outside and offered to answer any questions. I had quite a few and was very pleased with how much she knew. Probably a good 15m side chat. Indoor Museum was fantastic. Really enjoyed it. The self guided tour can be done via audio or a print out. The print out is a solid 16 pages with a map and several pictures. Self guided tour has 17 locations / stops. Lots of interesting info. Self guided tour can comprehensively be done in about 45-60 minutes. Museum is maybe another 15 or so minutes. Entrance fee was $5 per adult, which was well worth it for both the self guided tour and museum all being included. The fort itself is made of adobe and is rapidly decaying. Probably won't be anything left in 30 years. The staff are trying to do their best with upkeep, but it is a losing battle with adobe. Without the staff, it would probably all be gone in 10 years or less. I'm glad we stopped by and was pleasantly surprised with the indoor Museum and self guided tour book, as well as the friendly staff

Easy to access. The informational displays were clear and provided details about the fort's history. The 8-minute video introduction was just perfect for me. The rangers on duty we're super friendly and share their expertise. It was an educational experience wrapped in a fun envelope.

Amazing and great historical knowledge to be had here.

Super cute place and they have some interactive areas for children. Sidenote: I went into the bathroom and touched my sweater and there was a bee stuck to it that I didn’t see And it stung me in my hand. (It was painful lol) That being said, the staff inside was so fast-acting with first aid! They had Benadryl, tweezers And a wipe handy and were very kind. 5 stars for the staff and the views 🙏🏻❤️

There were a few stations that had activities for kids. Things like make your own adobe brick. Some of the stations had photos. You can walk around this old adobe fort that's slowly being weathered to not much and see different stations. I thought the museum was amazing. It's not big and you can do the whole thing in about an hour. If you are the type to read every word in every display you might take two hours. Overall friendly employees. Interesting piece of history.

I have a love of old forts. The soldiers daily ration of food was horrific. Shame on you U.S. government.

Had a nice time for the luminary lights event just wish there was live music & beverages for adults. Thought the Fort Selden winery would team up with this place for the special event. The only thing about the weather was it's cold & windy! Wish there could've been more Xmas lights cause it was dark when trying to take pictures.

It's a nice look at the past. I could walk my dog outside just not inside the museum.

So much history and the site of the ruins where interesting had me stepping back in time thinking how it was back then.The rangers where nice & very informative that made the experience great.. And with that I know I'll be back again..

Wonderful place to visit . New Years Eve they have a luminaria display.

This is a place everyone should see given the chance. They have a small nice indoor museum and of course out side you can see and even walk through the ruins of the old fort. I recommend going as soon as possible though as every rain makes the walls a tiny bit shorter.

Ruins of the fort tell a story of life in the fort. The Buffalo Soliders were stationed here to protect and serve. Nice museum and short film prior to walking around the fort. Dog friendly.

Great multicultural historical location, but the museum and the fort is only from 1865 to present you have to ask to find out about the previous history which I just learned this section of New Mexico was claimed by Arizona during the Confederacy for 2 weeks and prior to that of course it was Republic of Texas land, taken from Mexico who attempted to take it from the Native Americans I'm guessing Comanche and Apache

Small but important and gradually vanishing site of a frontier cavalry post. Good to see what it would have actually looked like, instead of what John Wayne would have you believe.

State run historical park. One of many forts in the old west. Small museum with lots of information. Walk around the short path to see more displays.

Beautiful scenery with lots of historical sites, state parks, and trails.

Love Fort Selden must stop for all out of town visitors! Always bring our guest here. Hands on activities and wonderful staff!!

Really decent little museum. Have and a really good understanding of its purpose and general life during its operational years

Very interesting historical site. Cheap admission for adults, and plenty of cool artifacts and ruins to look at and learn about. The staff was also super cool!

Visited in November 2021. Sorry it has taken me 2 years to write a review. I love any place that has anything to do with military history. Fort Seldon didn't disappoint! You're free to walk around at your own pace, and if you happen to have questions, someone is more than happy to answer them.

Nice spot of history to visit

5.00$ for a self guided tour around a very historic land mark. Your also get to build your own brick
