The Aztec Ruins National Monument is an ancestral Pueblo site. A "great house" known as West Ruin offers one-half mile of rooms, some with their original wooden roofing and mortar. The reconstructed Great Kiva offers a glimpse of how an ancestral Pueblo religious and social center would have looked. Although referred to as Aztec, the ruins are in fact Anasazi or, as they are more commonly called, ancestral Pueblo. The use of the designator "Aztec" arose out of local word-of-mouth circa 1876.

The monument offers an introductory video on the area's Pre-Columbian history, interpretive talks, a self-guided tour and interpretive trail, lectures, traveling trunks, demonstrations of Native American crafts, teacher's workshops, a children's workshop for third-grade students from San Juan County, Junior Ranger activities, and a picnic area. The website offers a curriculum guide for download.

The Museum houses the largest collection of Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) pottery on display in the Four Corners Region and allows visitors to explore an authentic Puebloan village behind the museum. In addition to permanent collections, Edge of the Cedars offers special exhibits, festivals, and events throughout the year. Dynamic exhibits at Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum feature outstanding photography, fine art, current topics in archaeology, and contemporary Native American crafts. Festivals, programs, and special events promote traditional values through storytelling, craft workshops, and an Indian art exhibit.

The site offers exhibits, workshops and classes, and occasional recreational and educational events.

Homolovi Ruins State Park serves as a center of research for the late migration period of the Hopi (the 13th and 14th century). While archaeologists study the sites and confer with the Hopi to unravel the history of Homolovi, Arizona State Parks provides the opportunity for guests to visit the visitor center, museum, various trails, and campground. The Hopi people supported the creation of the 4,000 acre park in order to protect the ruins of their prehistoric ancestors, the Hisat'sinom (known to archaeologists as the Anasazi) who were believed to have lived in the Homolovi pueblos.

The park offers exhibits and a podcast audio tour of the Homolovi II site (available online).
