This sandstone erosion cave once served as a speakeasy & now houses a rock collection & gift shop.
Moqui Cave is a natural sandstone erosion cave just north of Kanab that spent an earlier life as a speakeasy before it became one of the area's most unusual roadside stops. Today it houses a rock and fossil collection, a small museum of regional history, and a gift shop, all tucked inside the cave itself. It's an easy, air-conditioned break from the road if you're working your way toward the North Rim on Highway 89, about an hour before you'd start the long push down Highway 67.
Reviewers are split on whether the fee is worth it for the museum alone, but the consensus is that it's a fun, offbeat pit stop with real geologic and pioneer-era history behind the novelty. Rated 4.2 stars from over 2,300 visitors. Open 9 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays.

A really interesting place. Glad we made the stop. Parking was easy. $7 entry fee was well worth it. We got the interesting back story from the friendly staff and enjoyed looking at the collection of gems, fossils & memorabilia. The cave was nice & cool - way bigger than expected.

This place is the definition of a tourist trap . It's mostly just a gift shop with a few small historical things to look at. I don't think it's worth the $7 entry fee just to go into a gift shop. No need to pay to go inside, just look at the online pictures and videos posted. There's a really neat hike just to the right of it though, they put a fence up up to try and conceal the entrance to that so they force you to go into the cave, but the hike is way cooler and it's free

This place was cool. Caves were super cool to walk through and see. You do have to climb a fairly steep rock that some people seem to struggle with, but my kids and I did fine. There is a museum inside the building that costs $7/adult to walk through. Not sure if it was worth it but the caves were awesome.

Very enjoyable experience. The history of the place and the amount of interesting stuff inside is unique. Very much enjoyed the collection of rocks and minerals that react to black light..
