Visiting Coyote Buttes was an adventure like no other! The vibrant, swirling sandstone formations were absolutely breathtaking, with shades of orange, red, and gold creating a surreal landscape. We hiked to The Wave, the most iconic spot, and it felt like walking through a natural masterpiece. Every turn revealed new textures and patterns—it was a photographer’s dream. Another highlight was the peacefulness; the limited permits made it feel like we had this otherworldly place almost to ourselves. Fun fact: the formations are over 190 million years old, shaped by wind and water over time. The only downside? The hike to get there is challenging, especially in the heat, but it’s well worth the effort. An unforgettable day in nature’s art gallery!

This place is amazing . If you hike there no really a sign on the trail . But if you follow the map you will be fine, My husband and I hike and bring our wedding clothes. Unforgettable place ever.

This review refers to South Coyote Buttes. Not much to say except don't miss hiking in this incredible and huge place. Let the photos speak for themselves.

We went the end of May 2025. Stunning geography, perfect weather, not a bad hike, recommend starting early at dawn. Take plenty of water. Good luck with the lottery, worth every step.

South Coyote Buttes is the most butte-iful place I have seen thus far. Get your permit and go.. you'll need a 4wd high clearance vehicle. Be prepared to hike in deep sand and scramble up and down slickrock. Tip: Book a tour with Dreamland Safari Tours. They will guide you through all the sites so you don't miss anything!

These are the best landscapes in the area. Like walking on Mars. Incredible photo ops. All places are accessed by rough dirt road. Some places can be accessed by rental some cannot. Know the difference or hire a guide like Dreamland Safari. Requires advance permits.

I must say this region is similar to the Wave (North Coyote Buttes). If you want to visit just the White Pocket no need permit. But if you want to have a look at the Cottonwood Cove you have to get permit in Kanab. The Cottonwood Cave is amazing just do not forget: to get the just 4x4.

A very scenic nature wonder with unique features. A paid parking lot is available near the spot. It requires a 10 min hike on a well delimited path. Make sure you get a bottle of water with you and take your time at the view points. Expect crowds, the location is very popular, even during a work day.

I'm giving it a 5 star only because of the spectacular view. Well maintained gravel walkway with some shaded seating areas. Maybe sort of ¾ mile walk one way. Just to park was expensive. $5.00 for motorcycle, $10.00 for car , I think $15 for RV .

This is an easy side visit in the Page, AZ hub of great sites to visit. It's a long gradual downgrade hike, about 1/2-3/4 mile hike to the overview. Of course that means it's an up hill climb on the return hike. There are 2 shaded rest spots along the trail. There a $10 entry fee and plenty of parking space. You can see from the many photos posted how great the view is.

Awesome site to see, pictures don't do it justice! The entire area around the viewpoint is a lot of fun with lots of scrambling opportunities! A lot of great viewing areas away from the tourist crowds at the main viewpoint. Highly recommend!

I’m speechless at the beauty of Horseshoe Bend. I was about to skip it on my way to Antelope Canyon, but since we arrived early, we decided to give it a chance, and it became one of the most incredible memories of our lives. Just be careful near the edges so you don’t fall! 😃

What a stunning view! Be prepared for a decent amount of people, but there is still many areas to walk and explore and amazing spots to take photos from!

Third time visiting here today and really beautiful in the overcast weather. The outskirts of the bend were really green with all the rain.

This bridge is right off the highway, so it’s easy to pass by while driving. If you’re in the area, it’s a nice spot to stop and take a short walk. The view of the Colorado River from the bridge is beautiful, and you get a sense of the canyon’s scale. There’s also a small display about the history of the bridge. Quiet and peaceful, it’s a good place to slow down for a moment.

I adore this stop! It has a beautiful view of the canyon from the bridge. If you are lucky you will get to see a California Condor! You might even be able to snag a gift from the gift shop or handmade jewelry. It’s well worth the stop.

What a great stop! Very easy access to the bridge...If you need some retail therapy - they also have some native handmade items readily available in the stalls adjacent. The view of the river and surrounding rock is just gorgeous. Great history of this bridge is also provided.

Small visitor center and historic buildings are amazing and so is the bridge and views all around, especially if you get on the Colorado River and go under it down the Grand Canyon a day later! Perfect little restroom stop either way.

Wonderful spot. I was very impressed. I looked forward to seeing condors and was blessed to see 2. Walked the bridge, easy to walk a paved bridge and stretch your legs. Such a beautiful view on the river and canyon. Pick up some highly inflated priced t shirts too, lol I did!

Beautiful views of the canyon and river. The highlight was seeing the California condors. It is somewhat upsetting to see the big numbers in their wings.They do look like “inmates” .Hopefully one day we won’t have that anymore.

It’s a pretty impressive structure and I marvel at how they did this! It was nice to walk the “pedestrian” side and look at the side where the cars drive as well as look down to the Colorado River. They also have local artists selling their wares at the end by the visitor center. I suggest you barter for a good price! VictorB

Antelope Canyon honestly felt like one of the biggest tourist traps I’ve ever experienced. Tickets are extremely expensive over $100 per person for what is basically a short guided walk through the canyon. Yes, the rock formations are beautiful, but the whole experience felt more staged than authentic. Our guide was friendly, but right before entering he told everyone to switch their cameras to the “vivid warm” setting so the colors would pop more in photos. That’s the moment I realized it was more about creating Instagram pictures than actually appreciating the natural wonder. It felt forced, and honestly, a bit like a scam. The tour itself was rushed, with groups lined up one after another. We were constantly told where to stand and how to pose for photos, which made it feel less like exploring nature and more like being herded through a photo studio. It was also crowded, noisy, and hard to actually take in the canyon without bumping into another group. For the price, I expected something longer, calmer, and more meaningful. Instead, it was over in less than an hour and felt like nothing more than a very expensive photo op. Overall, Antelope Canyon is beautiful but massively overpriced, crowded, and commercialized. If you’re looking for a real nature experience, you’ll be disappointed.

Antelope Canyon is one of the most beautiful and surreal places on Earth — a true natural wonder! But you can't get in for free! Keep in mind that the ticket costs around $150! The colors, the shapes, the light beams cutting through the narrow walls — it’s like walking inside a living piece of art. Every step feels magical, and every photo looks unreal. 📸 However, it’s important to know that entry to Antelope Canyon is only possible with a guided tour — you can’t explore it on your own. It’s located on Navajo land, and access is strictly controlled to protect the site and ensure safety. Tours can be a bit pricey, but they’re worth it — guides help you find the best angles for photos and share stories about the canyon’s history and meaning. If you don’t manage to book a tour or want to explore on your own, don’t worry — there are plenty of beautiful free spots nearby! You can visit Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, or drive through the desert roads around Page — the landscapes there are stunning and completely open. 🌄 Antelope Canyon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the whole area around it is breathtaking too — full of places where you can feel the same spirit of the American Southwest. ❤️

We did the Upper Antelope Canyon tour and were rendered speechless at the beauty therein. Our guide, Mike, is amazing at capturing photos with whatever cellphone he was presented with.

Having visited one of my travel bucket lists with my bf finally during US Trip in Oct this time!! It’s an absolutely breathtaking spot which is surreal and stunning for the artistry of nature. It’s in Arizona & located on Navajo Nation land. This magnificent spot is well-known for its sculpted sandstone walls and the light beams that illuminate the passages. The spectacular scenery looks so unreal when it exists in front of me!! This spot must take a guided tour to enter and it’s available to choose either the Upper or Lower sections and we finally went for Upper one as the original tour to Lower section is being cancelled due to flood warning. Although it’s more costly than lower section, we were glad that we have made this decision as the tour guide was so professional to have photo shooting for us with the best angles (capture the most memorable moments!!) as well as share the history of Canyon. To supplement from some research earlier, the best moment to visit Upper Antelope will be Mar - Oct during midday (1100-1300) in which sun is high enough to create famous light beams. If you will visit Arizona, it’s highly recommend to feature it into your itinerary and is definitely a place that must visit once in a lifetime!

My sister and I road tripped from FL to AZ specifically to tour the Upper and Lower Canyon! Worth the drive! My husband now wants to do the same trip next year and tour the Canyons! Best trip and experience of my life!

Antelope Canyon is one of the most unique natural features you’ll ever see! It’s stunningly gorgeous and walking through the canyon feels almost otherworldly at times. While the guided tour is expensive and moves you through the canyon quickly, there are other slot canyons in the same area you can explore if you want a different experience. We appreciated the guide’s tips for where to take photos, as she revealed unique shapes that only become visible from certain angles as the light hits the canyon. Would have loved to take the photography tour, but unfortunately we were short on time and the lower canyon tours were cancelled due to recent rainfall.

What can I say what an experience this was , the tour guide took the time out with everyone and put himself out to be as helpful as he could . It was very enjoyable and amazing to see something different and amazing around every corner . Well worth a visit if you're in that part of the USA . We had such a lovely time and made another fabulous memory. I would highly recommend paying it a visit it's very photogenic so have plenty of space for pictures.

This stunning vista overlooking the entire valley is absolutely breathtaking. At an elevation of approximately 5,000 ft, this viewpoint offers you a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. From here you will be able to gaze out at the vast expanse of the Colorado Plateau, where the colors of the rock formations seem to change with every hour of the day. We recommend anyone passing through to take a moment to experience the natural wonders and tranquility of this area and do not forget your camera.

Absolutely beautiful viewpoint! Do beware however, MOST of the vendors are reputable and very kind, some not so much. I was fully aware I was buying a fake turquoise necklace, but the vendor lied to my face and tried to convince me it was “real kingman turquoise.” For $30?!?! Be so real with me right now 😂 Really cute necklace though!

Spectacular views of the Vermillion Cliffs and the surrounding area from this scenic pull off.

We always stop here on our way through. Such a cool view. Fun to see all the stickers and maybe put some of your own on there. Some native vendors are often there selling jewelery and such. Easy stop, cool views.

Local community members with Western Navajo Nation Bodaway, Cedar Ridge, Bitter Springs selling gemstone necklaces, bracelets, earrings and similar sterling silver earrings,bracelets, necklaces and etc.

Amazing views, Indian Pottery to purchase, and great place to stop and stretch.

Was great. The vendor's were very nice. I love stopping and looking at there goods. Also had to buy a turquoise ring

This viewpoint is the highest vista viewpoint on the south rim of the canyon and another excellent location to witness where the Colorado River carved out a masterpiece over millions of years. Standing here at the edge of this natural wonder, the vast expanse of rusty red and burnt orange hues that stretches out before you are a breathtaking testament to the power of erosion. What we love most is the crisp and clean smell of the air, filled with the sweet scent of pine and the sound of ravens calling in the distance. There is a circular parking lot, which is safely located off Desert View Drive and is one of the larger viewpoint parking lots along the east side of Grand Canyon National Park. The parking lot only has a limited number of oversized or small RV parking spaces, and we did not see any handicapped parking spaces. The parking lot is open 24 hours with a few recycling bins but there are no restroom facilities. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a scenic drive, this viewpoint has something for everyone. Take a deep breath, grab your camera, and get ready to be awestruck by one of the most iconic views in the American West.

Super easy access from the highway. It wasn’t even perfect day for the lighting. Still I couldn’t take a bad. Pic🫶🏼 So sad that we’ve lost our trail access to the bottom. The only remaining access is 4 miles down on Bright Angel Hopefully things will improve in 2026. we are all hoping for rain. We’ve practically missed them monsoon season. Still a very beautiful place to stay, vacation and to come see the beautiful canyon in all her glory. 😳🔥🏜️☀️

Amazing view and experience. Honestly, I didn't realize how majestic the place is until I saw it in person; absolutely stunning. I would recommend checking the weather the day before to get a clear view. There are several points to stop by, so consider stopping at each one. If you are in a hurry, you can do it in around 1 hour, but it's better to give it around 3 hours to enjoy the view and the sunset.

We came back into the Grand Canyon National Park to catch the sunset before heading back to our hotel in Peoria, Arizona. The man at the gate was super nice and even told us which spot to drive to so we could catch it and it would be less crowded. He was so right, there was only a tour jeep and us at this spot. We arrived just in time to get front row seats to this beautiful sunset!!!

Stunning and well worth the extra drive Plenty of parking Well sign posted If you can do late afternoon for sunset and then an early morning for sunrise ,the different colours in the rocks at different times was amazing

Gorgeous views. Try to go in the afternoon when shadows give you variety of color and shade.

You can see the Colorado River in this point. The massive canyon is on full display.

We had an awesome tour guide - Jennifer Whiterock - who walked us out and showed us what was what and told us stories about the finds. We saw a lot of really cool things, and she encouraged us to touch the bones, stand on them, etc - there is no other place I have ever been or very likely will - who would let you do that. Our guide brought a water bottle to add water to the finds to make them more visible. She made sure we were okay to continue exploring in the heat when a member was falling behind. She is so sweet. Be respectful of where you are. This belongs to the Navajo, and they chose to share this with you. Do not take bones or stones. Leave the environment as you find it. Listen to the stories and learn. Our guide told us payment was up to us, that we could pay as we saw fit. We bought some jewelry from her as well. If you can't pay, it's fine. Obviously, if you can, please do. This is a treasure they are sharing. Let your children see the wonders, even if you can't afford it. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

There are an abundance of tracks, and they look really cool with the red dirt water in them. Our guide was Jennifer. She told us where to park and greeted us when we got out. Her guiding style was show and identify a track, then walk to the next one and wait for us to take our pics and catch up to her. One track she said was a brontosaurus, and knowing better, I can say that it was not. But didn’t comment to her about the error. About 200’ into the tour, she declared that she was too hot, and returned to the jewelry stands. It wasn’t very hot that day, and she had a sweatshirt on that she could have taken off. So the tracks were really neat, but the interaction with our guide was sorely lacking. We gave her a good tip anyway, just because.

Well worth the stop! Orlando Whitestone was my guide when I was there and was incredibly knowledgeable! I highly recommend accepting a tour from a guide; they’ll point out the best tracks, fossilized eggs, fossilized dung piles, and point out the ancient river beds. The guides work off donations, $10-20 is a good range to tip for their service.

What a cool thing to see. So random, at first you're wondering if you're going to the right place. Middle of nowhere, sign that says dinosaur tracks. You just pull in and drive up to where the Natives have their little jewelery huts. Donate what you want for them to give you a tour, because they know where all the best tracks are. Tip heavily, they deserve it. They stand out in the heat all day. If it was bought out by some company and made into an attraction, you'd be paying a lot. I appreciate it being in its natural state.

This place is amazing. Our guide, Helen, was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to look. The area used to be an ocean and evidence of marine animalia and fauna was visible. She didn't ask for money, but I tipped her $20 for her excellent service.

The site itself is very interesting and worth stopping to see — there are real dinosaur track fossils here. In particular, the large three-toed tracks found in this area are consistent with Dilophosaurus, a real early Jurassic theropod that lived in this region around 190 million years ago. That part is accurate and scientifically supported. However, just a note about the guided explanations: the guides here are local individuals, not trained paleontologists, and some of the information offered can be incorrect. For example, we were told that there were T. rex and Velociraptor footprints here, but that is not possible — those dinosaurs lived over 100 million years later, in much younger rock layers than the ones at this site. So those particular claims were not accurate. My recommendation: Enjoy the site for what it truly is — a rare chance to see authentic Dilophosaurus-era tracks in the open desert. Just take the spoken explanations with caution and look up the scientific details afterward if you’re curious. Overall: Great stop, real footprints, but verify the dino facts independently.

What a wonderful experience!!! Connie was an amazing host who is patient and vey thoughtful. She shared accurate accounts of the dinosaurs and beautiful expressions of her culture.

Small but lots of information. Short film to start the tour then you can wander at your own pace .

This museum was created during the 2002 Olympic games to tell the world about the Navajo nation. What an incredible source of history and culture. I really enjoyed the video interviews of modern day Navajo. Thank you!

This museum is a great place to start on your visit to Tuba City. Is has some great displays and tons of information on the local tribes. I come here every time I visit Tuba City along with the Trading Post.

It's an okay museum, but I wouldn't recommend it much. It's quite small, unlike the name suggests, it's NOT interactive at all. The movie they played in the beginning was very low quality, however it did a good job explaining Navajo history.

A lovely little museum, that gives a deep look into Navajo culture. Well worth the entrance and visit.

Nice little museum. I enjoyed it. The cashier allowed us to go 5 minutes before closing time. Very kind. The materials inside are educational. This is a good place to start if you wish to learn about Navajo, Diné culture.

Small but very interesting museum, we learned a lot about Navajo culture and history. As a tourist, it really helps better understand the region and the people who inhabit it. Highly recommend.

The new paved parking lot is very nice! Google weekend hours (closed) is not always correct. Quantity of vendors is difficult to plan due to weather dependence & seasonal.

When coming through the desert we were just ahead of a huge thunderstorm and stopped for the Little Colorado River Overlook it was pretty bland, but still it is a significant feature and worth a few photo's. But it is an introduction to the Grand Canyon which will take your breath away, so enjoy both, we did.

Visited in December 2018 as a family with a 13yo. This is the first overlook to admire the Grand Canyon if you are travelling from Flagstaff north along route 89 and turn left on route 64. It's empty and delegated, in comparison with the more advertised Desert View Tower overlook. So if you have time, definitely go for it. If you don't - you can skip it for better views ahead.

This place was scenic and breathtakingly beautiful. There were a lot of native jewelry vendors.

Nice spot to stop and take a look around. They even have local vendors selling items out of booths.

They take donations going in. Very beautiful and worth to stop and see. They have little stores and restrooms!

Really nice first look at the canyon. Lots of people selling native jewellery and such. Loads of photo opportunities. Beware critters!

The Trading Post was such a convenient and beautiful place to stay! Easy off/easy on to Hwy 89. We were in the Hopi building, 3rd floor, and had a great view of the river. It was surprisingly quiet given that it is right on the highway. So nice to have the restaurant right next to the rooms. Really good food, extremely reasonable prices! Our server was so kind and helpful. The trading post had some very unique Native American crafts and art, plus a huge selection of touristy souvenirs. We were just passing through on this trip, but the next time we head to both rims of the Grand Canyon, we'll stay there again. Bonus: there is a post office on the grounds as well.

We stopped in for dinner/shopping during a road trip. The restaurant is decorated wonderfully with a beautiful tin ceiling and native art hanging everywhere. The building is historic and feels amazing to spend time in a place so many other souls have passed thru while traveling. Take time to see all the beautiful art in the shop as well- these artists are so talented!! It should be a museum.

My Lady has never had a Navajo Taco. Cameron Trading Post serves the BEST Tacos in the area, so we took a little trip out for her to experience them first hand!! The food was AMAZING, and the rustic decor and views are worth checking out!! The gift shop is also amazing offering just about anything you would want, and even several things you didn’t know you wanted or need too!! Great place to stop for great food and also things to remember the trip through!!

We went to the restaurant. The flavors were amazing, the staff were pleasant, and the service was fast! We ordered the Navajo taco, prickly pear chicken, and the prickly pear drinks. 10/10 would recommend all of it! It’s also a beautiful dining area with a s s unset view of the mountain!

We Always stop here for lunch when we're up in the area. All the staff are friendly!! Lots of items in the large gift shop are made by the local Navajo/Hopi tribes...beautiful items & I always find something to buy for myself or as a gift. I love the Indian Fry Bread!! Did I say how much I like the staff?? Very lovely people...Always! We've been here numerous times since moving to the Verde Valley last year & we'll keep coming back. Dining room is very large so they can accommodate large groups, plenty of staff to take care of all the customers.

It was a recommended visit for reliable and authentic navajo jewelry. Jeff, Theresa, and a manager (who's name i can't remember!) Were awesome. I found a navajo pearl bracelet that I had been looking for but it was too big. Jeff immediately asked his mgr if it could be re beaded and then shipped to me. Theresa was more than willing to help and they all made it happen. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable with the pieces and stones that they sell and even shared with me how he has started making his own jewelry and silversmithing, which was beautiful. I couldn't have been more pleased with meeting him and finding exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely stop in when I'm in the area again.

I just stopped at the Cameron Trading Post restaurant, and honestly, I wasn't super impressed. The food was nothing special and the fries were quite bland. The Trading Post was very out of the way and I had about an hour of a drive just to get there. Much of the jewelry in the shop was greatly overprices, but a very large selection.

Road a bit rough. Beautiful views.

The best thing in AZ for beautiful views and zero people.

Beautiful pair of canyons in the middle of nowhere. Plug "Coal Mine Canyon" into your gps and you'll be taken to the entrance off of 264. You don't need a 4 wheel drive vehicle as it has been suggested, my Nissan Sentra was able to handle the drive perfectly.

Highly recommend! After reading others directions in the reviews, it was very easy to find. We had rented a mini van that was low to the ground and had no trouble getting right to the edge of the canyon. The views were remarkable! Only two other people there while we were there.

Love this place!! I hope that it stays a local secret. If you plan to go you MUST get a permit from the reservation. The canyon is on private property. I photographed an adventure anniversary session here in the summer!! Love this spot for an Arizona Elopement.

Very different terrain and great views. Colorful rocks. See if you can find the light blue rocks

Great little Canyon.

Very cool! Glad I stopped to see it. The have it set up nicely. Even though you can on go out so far (to prevent humans from damaging it) you still can see how everything was setup and the way of life. The visitors center has a lot of information and items to buy (I got a mug).

Awesome sunrise and sunset shoots at wukoki Pueblo. Great sunrise at the Wuptaki pueblo, barely any ppl here, lovely dark sky park for astrophotography, bathrooms at most Pueblos, easy walking distance to view each Pueblo.

We drive to the park, but the park was closed. Looking some structure, sink hole and beautiful view.

Very cool ruins. The house structure was neat and my husband was very impressed with the blow hole that blows cold air.

Wupatki is a well preserved gem and a must visit place if you're interested in ruins. It is a place that gives you a true sense of what living must have been like in the harsh environment of the area. Never crowded and easy to get to. You could explore here all day and not seeing everything

We decided to drive through Wupatki, Az. It was really amazing to see these structures that were built so long ago still standing. You are allowed to walk on the ruins. The natural blow hole was interesting. The hat kept getting stuck on the bill. The rangers were so nice and informative. We saw a raven and it was really friendly too . Haha

What a great experience, from the pueblos to being able to hike in a lava field, this was awesome!! The "mothers breath" vent that blew COLD air, I did not want to leave!

Such a fun time! They do know that you are the food giver so you can get overwhelmed quite quickly when you first walk in to the deer pen. It helped circling around and walking away from the front gate. We had so much fun feeding, petting, and walking with the deer. It was a little warm when we went so a lot of the other animals were resting while we walked. If you want a good family time this is something to go try!

This is a wonderful place for kids also for adults. The animals can be a a little overwhelming for younger kids. But they are friendly and really beautiful wish I would have taken more pictures but I was too busy enjoying everything praying

I don’t review often, but I felt this deserves a shoutout. Free parking, clean restrooms and a great gift shop. The animals are definitely the highlight! For the cost of going to the movies, you get so much more. The deer were so friendly and sweet. Great for all ages. It was paved and easy to walk throughout, they even had staff sweeping the walkways. The workers were friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that it’s a labor of love for the owners and staff, the animals were well kept with clean pens and enclosures! You can see wallaby’s, porcupines, coatis, even reindeer! For the price you’d be hard pressed to have a better day out with the family 👍

Had a very nice visit, took our 2 year old on her birthday. She enjoyed petting and feeding the deer which are very friendly. We had a bucket of food to feed the deer and needed to hold it tight and away from the deer because like to swarm you if they know you have food. Watch you clothing, one deer started eating my wifes extra long scarf 😁 and one was chewing the straps on my back pack which i could have left behind. Met some goats, lamas. Reindeer, one Bison, turkeys, peacocks, one camel and porcupines'. Weather was pleasant for early November about 76 deg. Great experience for kids and adults. I do recommend the Grand Canyon Deer Farm

This was actually pretty cool. Thomas loved it, and it was fun for us as well. There were lots of deer and other animals as well. The deer were pretty pushy while you were feeding them. We loved it but may be overwhelming for some. You don't have to feed them. The cockatoo talked too. I think it's would probably be worth the money for most family's. We live on a farm and still enjoyed it.

What an amazing farm! This little farm is located east of Williams and this is a MUST SEE if you’re coming to Flagstaff and or Williams for summer break! My girls had a blast feeding and petting the deer and so did I! There are also other animals such as porcupines, a little pig, Mozart the cockatoo, goats, zonkey’s, and even a bison. Furthermore, the staff who work here are very warm & welcoming, making sure you’re experience at this farm is good ❤️🦌 Also the gift shop is very cozy and offers unique souvenirs for you to take home.

I signed up for the Adult Zookeeper program. It’s been several months since, and I still think about how fantastic an experience it was to hang out with the animals while learning from one of the zookeepers. It was money well spent for me, and in comparison to Bearizona, the experience at Grand Canyon Deer Farm was more my speed, with its closer interaction with a broader diversity of animals. It’s awe-inspiring to see what they’ve done to care for the animals, and it was a great opportunity to see some coatimundis.

Snowbowl in Flagstaff is always a great time during snow season! If you’re looking for family fun, the gondola ride is a must. For those who love snowboarding or skiing, the slopes are fantastic—just be mindful, your speed can pick up pretty quickly. Even if you’re not hitting the slopes, the atmosphere alone makes it worth the trip. And if you happen to forget something, their shop has everything you need to make the most of your snow day. Highly recommend!

This is the first time I’ve ever given a review that’s not five stars—and unfortunately, it’s due to the worst customer service I’ve received, especially from a manager, at the Snowbowl Store next to the Gondola ride. On September 28th, our group of five came for the Gondola scenic ride. It was raining and cold, but our excitement to see the mountain wasn’t dampened. As season pass holders, we visit often in the winter and were eager to see the fall colors. However, we underestimated how cold it would be that day. The ride operator kindly told us that the store sold blankets and jackets, so we went inside. I printed our passes and purchased a blue blanket (around $20 and it just had a price sticker with no tag tied on it, it’s probably returned by someone but I didn’t give it much thought) and two jackets (around $240 total). We placed our water bottles and an extra jacket we’d brought into the large bag given to us, went up the ride, and enjoyed what little scenery we could see—it was foggy but still a nice experience. We planned to come back later if the weather cleared up. After coming down, I remembered that we never used the blanket, so I decided to ask if I could return it. The cashier politely asked if it had been used, and I said, “Not at all, since we ended up using the jackets.” She went to ask her manager, and while waiting, I picked up a few small items for the kids. When the manager came out, he asked, “Why did you buy the blanket?” I explained that it was in case it got too cold, but we forgot about it and never used it while feeling his judgement in his eyes. Then he said, “We are not runing a rental shop here. You know what I believe? I think you used it and now want to return it…” I was stunned by that accusation and said, “I swear to God, I did not use it.” He replied that it was not returnable—though there were no signs anywhere in the store stating that. I, suck at arguing, walked away soon after. If he had simply said from the start, “Sorry, we don’t accept returns,” I would have understood. I spent over $400 in that one hour between the jackets and lift tickets. I wouldn’t have minded the no-return policy for $20ish but the fact that he accused me of lying made it the worst experience I’ve ever had as a customer. I left angry and disappointed, telling myself I wouldn’t spend another penny there. Unfortunately, since I already purchased the 2026 season pass, I’ll have to return. Then a couple of days later I read in a holy writing that if someone wrongs you, forgive them immediately so I’ve made peace with this unpleasant experience. However, during a family dinner last weekend when my family asked about our trip and I shared the experience, they encouraged me to leave a review—so that this kind of behavior might be corrected. To be fair, most of the staff member we’ve met at Snowbowl over the years has been wonderful. We’ve had many great experiences skiing there with our kids… But you know what they say about one bad apple… I wouldn’t wish anyone to experience what we experienced… So watch out and hope you have a good time.

We had a fantastic time yesterday here . The area is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained too ! The hamburger and fries were delicious too . There were many activities for the whole family . Awesome customer service too . We will definitely be back soon . Have a blessed day 😇

We met a super friendly man here. He helped us to go from the ticket purchase place to the ski place 😍 You can shop the ticket both online and offline. Recommend to shop it online so you can go straight to the ski center.

I visited in early August to see the Aspen leaves flutter. It was extremely peaceful with beautiful views. The gondola was working but I didn’t try it. 100% you should make time to visit.

If you're looking for a great place to snowboard in Arizona, this is pretty much the only spot—but luckily, it's a solid one. I had an awesome time hitting the slopes with my friends. The runs are fun and well-maintained, with options for both beginners and more experienced riders. The views from the mountain are amazing, especially on a clear day. The rental process was smooth, and the staff was helpful. It can get a little crowded on weekends, but that’s expected at a popular spot. Overall, if you're in Arizona and want to snowboard, this is the place to go. Definitely recommend!

Visited the Arizona Snowball this August with my kids. We rode the gondolas to the top, got out and walked around for a bit, and took in the views. I had purchased my tickets earlier in the week and then noted before we headed up from Phoenix that the gondolas were on hold due to rain and lightning. The website said you could only get a rain check if you were present on site, so we drove up and hoped for the best. When we arrived the gondolas were still on hold. Customer service said that we could hang out and wait to see if they open up as the lightning seemed to have moved on or get a refund on a gift card to use in the future or other activities on site. Because there were other activities we decided to hang out. We purchased snow cones, played in the hamster wheel and poked around the gift shops. There was an event going on with a live band, a restaurant and a section that was for 21 and up only. They also had a bungee trampoline, and downhill tubing slides for kids. The gondolas did open up within about 30 minutes and we were good to go even with it sprinkling. The views from the top were beautiful. It seemed there were some hiking trails but they were closed presumably due to the rain and lightning.

Highly recommend for visiting! It was very interesting to see really crater and visited museum and trued astronauts foods… Nice point!

Definitely one of my favorite parks. If you're going to be in the area, it's absolutely worth a stop. If you're looking for a spot to camp for free, basically all of the roads outside the park allow dispersed camping.

Beautiful crater with an interesting history as to its formation and magnitude. Trails at the base offer unique views.

Small, but wonderful park. It doesn't seem as over run with people as some ofvthe others. Very peaceful. It's a shame that so much of the park was burned in a fire in '22. Some of the trails are closed. Still some very interesting walks to take, getting up close the the lava. Beautiful views. Nice visitors center.

We were there on Dec. 4.2023. We had Ben hear back on April 2018. We found this place simply awesome . Seeing the lava flows. Around and the nice walk ways around the Crater part is really nice also have nice trials to walk on to . There where area when come in to park you can pull off and get a good Picture of the Sunset Crater . And the Mountains behind you when there they had snow on them . It was really pretty to see.

We love coming here, it's peaceful, has great trails and I love the "crunch- crunch" sounds when walking on the rocks of the lava flow. Beautiful!!

Neat place to observe volcano(s). Lots of plants growing in the lava remains and nice trails

What a wonderful place to visit for the whole family! Toddler play room, interactive room for all ages, demos and talks. Looks like these guys thought of it all. Very beautiful campus to walk around. Definitely go see different telescopes they have and take a look at the sun and the sun spots during the day. Make sure to come back at night because this place is happening! You will see a variety of celestial object in the sky through telescopes and with a naked eye. Make sure to ask questions. Everybody who works here is super friendly and will gladly engage in a conversation about all space matters ❤️

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was absolutely amazing. I live in Colorado and I have no problem making the 8 Hour Dr. back exclusively to visit this place. The staff is wonderful, the amenities are very nice and clean, it’s incredibly family, friendly, and well designed, and the night viewing is fantastic. One of my favoriteplaces I’ve ever gone to.

My first visit was a fantastic experience! The live constellation show, while an additional cost, felt like a worthwhile investment for a complete nighttime experience. There are plenty of exhibits to explore, making it easy to spend a lot of time on the grounds. The auditorium show was a definite highlight, with the immersive elements truly enhancing the sense of scale. For those planning a visit, I'd highly recommend checking the moon phase beforehand, especially if you're interested in the rooftop observation. When the moon was nearly full, it made spotting constellations more challenging, as they were often positioned behind us, away from the observation area. It was also difficult to see the guide's laser pointer due to the bright light. Planning around the moon's cycle could help you get the most out of this particular part of the program."

WOW. That's all ai have to say about the updates and new visitor center. I took my family today and had a wonderful experience. The exhibits are educational, but so much more! They are interactive with sensory based learning, and everyone left with new knowledge. I have always recommended Lowell and now I can be even more enthusiasts about it. Bravo.

My 9 year old daughter is obsessed with space. This place was great!! We didn't make it early enough for tickets to the outdoor planetarium which was a bummer. We had a great time walking around the grounds at night, looking through the telescopes and playing in the play zone. The inside exhibits are very informative. The smells are the best and worst! I feel like I can still smell one in particular weeks later. 😂 I wish there was better organization at the group of outdoor telescopes. And maybe better signage or markers between the Clark and the indoor exhibits. We still made it where we needed to go but I could see how it'd be easy to get lost or end up somewhere you don't belong. All in all it was an amazing visit. We showed up around 8pm on a Friday night and it was definitely busy. But the skies were clear and the weather was nice. We'll absolutely be back. Especially since Lowell participates in the Museums For All program.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Lowell Observatory! The exhibits, engaging activities, and telescopes were absolutely fascinating. The staff was knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. We didn’t have enough time to explore everything, but we’re definitely looking forward to returning on a dark night to get the full stargazing experience!

I definitely recommend if you're in town to visit. The interactive entertainment is great for all ages. They even have inside playground for kids now. The outside campus is also amazing. The entire campus is ADA accessible I have a food court if you want to snack.

Enjoyable discovery. Downtown area has lots of cafes, coffee shops and stores to check out amongst a collection of historic buildings. I like how many of the building had plaques describing the history of the building along with historic murals and photographs (Auto shop murals were very neat!) we stopping at the Amtrak train station which is also the visitor center with staff to describe local details, plenty of brochures and a gift shop with nice Route 66 memorabilia for sale. Parking was easy and lots to check out!

Beautiful city on Rt 66. Historic Old Town is loaded with good food, unique and adventurous fun, tons of shopping, great bars, and a rich history of Flagstaff. This is a great place to set up your base camp to travel to about a dozen adventures including The Grand Canyon.

Flagstaff is a great two hour escape from the heat and strip malls of Phoenix. Flagstaff has a vide that you don't often find in Arizona with a walkable downtown area filled with cute shops and amazing restaurants. Nice to see people out of their cars and walking around. Highly recommend this Arizona getaway.

It is a cute little downtown in Flagstaff. The downtown is clean and walkable. There are also many shops, restaurants, bars and hotels. Small but lively. A nice place to hangout with friends.

What a cool town. We went on Labor Day weekend and there was an art festival and Farmers market that we really enjoyed. Parking is kind of a hassle and expensive but otherwise a really great getaway.

Great for every age and every walk of life. Hardest part is finding parking. So many shops/stores, restaurants, brewery/pubs, ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, plus tons of hotels from historic to modern.

Cute town with many shops that you can walk around with your friends and family.

The rangers and volunteers here are so kind and sweet. Loved this park so much. Love that its less crowded too. Ive been to a few with native dwellings. I plan to see all of them. This one is in the top 3. Beautiful views.

The history here is incredible, what a great place to visit. You need to know that it is not a quick in and out if you want to hike the whole trail, and there are a billion, or maybe 10 billion stairs. 😄 But it really is a good hike, read up on it a bit before you go so you can see the significance of this awesome place. The visitors center has restrooms, information, and a small gift shop. There is the Rim trail also which is shorter and flat, in case the stairs are an issue. Plenty of parking too, I highly recommend.

Wulnut Canyon was a surprise for me and I would recommend to visit this place. Amazing walk and tour through the Canyon. There's a parking place on the front and you pay the National Park entrance fee what is valid for next 7 days if you visit again or other things in National Park. It's not valid for the Grand Canyon, you pay for that separately.

A wonderful experience exploring ancient cliff dwellings in a spectacular setting. Great visitor center with helpful park staff to learn about the villages and the people who once lived there. There are two paved trails, The Rim Trail with great overviews, and the Island Trail, which was my favorite. The Island Trail has more than 700 steps, and it takes you right up to the dwellings.

A Hidden Gem on the Road: Walnut Canyon National Monument During a road trip, we discovered Walnut Canyon National Monument by surprise, and it turned out to be a truly beautiful and unexpected place. It's a slice of nature that hides from the highway, revealing a spectacular landscape with ancient ruins. A Place to Explore and Enjoy: The park is very well-organized and maintained. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff is very friendly. Although it was a quick visit for us, we realized it's a place where you can stay as long as you like. There's a picnic area with breathtaking views of the canyon, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The site has a visitor center, a souvenir shop, and, most notably, trails that lead down into the canyon. These paths allow visitors to get a closer look at the ruins, which are like "houses" built into the canyon walls by past civilizations. Although we didn't have time to do these hikes, they looked safe and well-marked. A Worthwhile Destination: In summary, Walnut Canyon National Monument is a tranquil and beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. It's a perfect addition to a road trip and a gem we hope to explore with more time in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place! The scenery is breathtaking and the trails are very well maintained. A special thank you to Ranger Lucy — she was so kind, caring, and incredibly patient with us, even though we arrived about 20 minutes before closing time. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel so welcome. Her dedication truly made our visit extra special. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

Walnut Canyon National Monument is absolutely stunning. It does not require a long hike and you can take in so much of the canyon with just a short walk. The staff here was so friendly and helpful. The views were stunning and very much worth stopping by.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes you can take in Sedona. While most people only venture a mile or so in, the canyon really gets more beautiful the further you go back (and more peaceful!). Between the creek that you cross several times, the towering cliffs, and the lush trees and ground cover you really can't ask for more. Take a lunch and go back 3-4 miles and you will have the place to yourself. Take time to sit down and take in your surroundings as the canyon is overwhelming. My favorite time of year is fall and time of day is mid to late afternoon. That time of day really allows you to take in the beautiful colors of the surrounding cliffs as the sunlight sneaks away. Make sure to wear good shoes and be prepared to fall in love with this place. I would give this trail 5 stars but the $11 fee to park is a little high in my opinion and your regular red Rock passes that everyone stops and buys in town do not work there. Also the fact that they only accept cash is a little inconvenient as there is now where close to go and get it if you forget. So make sure you have money before you take the drive up. Plan in spending at least a few hours and make sure to look around, as there are hidden ruins and things to see everywhere you look!!

Absolutely gorgeous and easy hike. Very family friendly with amazing views to take awesome family photos. There are restrooms and parking at the entrance. The trail is 3.3mi one way and has 13 stream crossings.

Parking is cash only, so be prepared! A stunning hike once you get farther from the start and the road. It can be crowded at the beginning. When theres water, its a fun place to find slide rocks and get your feet wet! There is plenty of shade to keep cool in, and though certain river crossings can be more precarious, kids would be fine. Be prepared to pet some adventure doggos too! An awesome hike if youre looking for something a little more shaded than cathedral rock.

Unfortunately we missed the fall color by two weeks but this was still an amazing lil adventurous hike . Suggestion get to trailhead early. This place gets packed and no other place to really park around other than parking lot. Also you may get wet at one of the many water crossings

Stayed in Sedona for 2 weeks. Hiked many trails, this being my favorite. Easy casual walking, lots of shade from vegetation. Historical architectural ruins along the path. Take a walk in the creek, sit on the rocks, and be present with the ravens, singing birds, butterflies, dragon flies, and little fish swimming at your feet. Locals hiking around me verbalized Fort Creek Trail was their favorite too.

Excellent place to hike, beautiful scenery and very calming atmosphere. People are friendly and helpful when you’re unsure as to how much further you have to go. Highly recommended for the photo opportunities and for a place to bring your significant other.

Absolutely gorgeous hike! Be prepared to cross the creek numerous times. My watch showed 7.33 miles round trip.

The Devil’s Bridge Trail leads to natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area. It’s a popular must to do hike and one can go on the bridge for the views. We did the Mescal Trailhead and keep hydrating thru out the hikes

My favorite place in Sedona. The trail is long and we went there with 7 years old. I recommend to go there as early as you can, so it will be not hot, not crowded and you will see sunrise 🤩. The trail is not very hard except last 5 minutes. There are some high steps over there, but the view is amazing. The line to take a picture is long but it goes pretty fast.

The trail itself is absolutely beautiful and there are many scenic spots to stop and take photos of the whole valley below. The only unfavorable thing was the lack of available parking, even on an overcast day during the off season. The bridge itself was majestic though, and the trail is not too difficult until the very end (which was mostly because the rocks were slick with mud). Overall, the hike definitely won't disappoint, nor is it too difficult for non-hikers to do.

Beautiful hike; we went at sunrise. Saw some wild pigs and a tarantula along the way. Went early in the morning, so light crowd. The hike was easy; the climb up to the bridge was moderate. Take plenty of water.

What a hike! One of the best. Did it on a weekday late evening so it was very less crowded. The views are amazing and the hike is medium to hard.

One of the best easy hikes. I came with my family, and it’s a good hike with kids. My nephews were able to do it, and they’re not outdoorsy kids, but they were able to walk. From the parking lot all the way to the bridge, we took about 3 hours total (round trip). I've got to say it's worth the hike, bro, with no water, snacks, or proper hiking shoes.

From the closest parking lot the bridge is about 4 miles round trip. The bridge has a long line to take a photo so be prepared to wait. I got their at sunrise and there was already about 15 people in line. Great hike with amazing views the whole time. Can’t go wrong!

Cool loop hike, with good views of Sedona and the surrounding rock from the trail. It's a nice way to see the area from a higher viewpoint while on a hike. Very urban, you don't ever feel you are really "in nature" but I would still recommend it as a way to get a quick visual tour of the area. Another nice place to watch the sunset without having to go very far. You can just hike up as far as you want and then sit down on the grassy hillside (some parts are more tree-covered that others).

Beautiful. We ended every day watching the sunset and started every morning watching the sunrise. Breathtaking every time. Must do both at least once. It gets busy so show up early for both.

Beautiful at sunset. Get there early so you have time to park and hike up to the top. We really felt the energy of the vortex. My friend and I were sitting beside each other and had a completely different experience. Highly recommend! When it gets dark, it gets dark so bring a headlamp. Perfect spot for stargazing!

Pretty view. Lots of people there to watch the sunset. Can see the whole town and miles into the mountains.

We really enjoyed this hike! Not strenuous but a great easier hike with gorgeous views.

Best place to catch 360 degrees view of Sedona. Hike is pretty easy.

Get there early for sunset or don't bother. Awesome place to get a great view. Best at sunrise or sunset.

Easily one of the most wonderful stops we made on our trip. We spent time here enjoying the views and peaceful vibe. Everything from the drive in to the walk up the ramp was stunning. Once you reach the entry you are greeted by friendly staff. I can understand why it has so many good reviews. We picked up some items from the amazing ladies in the gift shop and enjoy part of a mass. The gift shop had things packed into every available space so take your time and you’ll find something for sure. Most are religious items, however there are many items that were not. So many people showed for mass, they placed chairs outside to maximize the amount of people who could enjoy it. Parking is a bit tricky, with only a few handicapped spaces, and the walk uphill once you find a spot made people a bit frustrated - I would suggest trying to find a slow time. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty busy. I have to assume earlier weekdays would be better. You can drop people who can’t do the uphill walk at the top of the hill but getting a vehicle turned around and back down can be tough and take a bit. They have team members on golf carts if you can get one! Take a small car if you can!

Major shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

Parking is very limited. As well as safely getting a good picture. Be safe taki.g photos below the road. The insode of the church is very small. They do allow you to come inside and talk to God. There's a smal gift shop below. The views of sedon is beautiful at the top of the church

Beautiful place with stunning views and a well-known tourist destination. Parking: Free parking is available either right outside the chapel or at the lower level, with golf carts available to take visitors to the top (free service, accept tips). You can drive up and park if a spot is open, or return to the lower lot if full. There is also a Sedona shuttle connect service that takes guests to the top, providing another great option. Kudos to the staff for their excellent efforts in managing and assisting visitors despite the limited parking availability.

Super grateful my husband took us here on our return trip from California to Chicago. Shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

I went on a busy Saturday, but still found a parking spot in one of thier 2 small parkings lots. You park below and walk up the street or the labeled dirt trail, and there is about 5 disabled parking spots at the top..... plenty of room to get in and walk around the Chapel and gift shop downstairs, without waiting. You can walk up the the front of the Chapel, once inside and see the Jesus footprints in Bronze. Be sure to get lots of scenic pics on both sides, when outside by the Chapel. Worth the quick stop, it was free and it took me about 30-45 min. Worth of time to see.

Nice place to stop and visit. It was packed with people so we ended up parking on the lower section and took the trail up to see everything. Short little hike but not all that difficult. Nice walking path to get to the Chapel. Amazing location / views with all that surrounds it.

There are no words. The emotions I felt getting to the top are indescribable. I truly felt the energy. The climb was difficult but well worth the entire experience. Don't forget to go to the left at the end of the trail for another part!

Loved our experience hiking there. To be noted it is pretty steep going up and coming down, and yet totally worth the climb. 💕Beautiful scenery from the top!

Got there on a Tuesday morning in late Oct at 7 am. Found plenty of spots in the additional parking. The hiking is very fun and challenging! Don’t be scared of the little tunnels at the tail! It’s only a small portion of the whole trail. If you can climb up, then there is no problem going down! Turn left to find the platform at the end of the trail!

We started at the Baldwin trail. Parking was $5. It was lovely, shaded and refreshing.

Watched the sunset here with my sister and it was such a memorable experience. Beautiful scenery, great views and a really nice hike. Loved this trail and the views cannot be beat.

The breathtaking sunset views up there are absolutely worth the effort!! It wasn’t super difficult as I was hiking in a group and I only needed to follow the footing of people in the front which helped a lot. If I were to figure out the submitting route myself, it would have been horrifying. It’s about half a mile going up with 600+ ft elevation gain. It took about 30 mins to go up and about 20 mins to go down so I recommend start descending right away after sunset(if you are here for the sunset view) to have enough date light while scrambling down. I highly, highly recommend wearing shoes with good grips as that will make this adventure much safer. Parking becomes impossible within one hour of the sunset time.

It is a short but demanding hike up some steep sections, including some rock scrambling up to the base of the cathedral rock… Spectacular views and great workout .. I highly recommend go early morning and beat the crowds…

Wonderful ride! Cameron was very knowledgeable about the area and was very funny. Attentive to all our needs and helped us in every way he could. Definitely would recommend for families

AMAZING! My girlfriend and I took the one hour ride at Mormon Lake and were completely blown away by the experience. She had never been on a horse before and I hadn't ridden for decades. But our wrangler, Cameron, made it fun and easy. He was obviously quite experienced with horses. Beyond that, he was incredibly knowledgable about about the local area, history and wildlife. Most interesting was everything we learned from him about his tribe and their history. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a ride with the folks! It will be the ride of a lifetime!

I took 4 children on this ride at Mormon Lake and it was awesome, worth every penny. The workers/guides are the nicest people and really care for the guests. They make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. The horses are well behaved and calm. You will not be disappointed. Best experience on a horseback you’ll find.

Such a nice and peaceful ride…Robert was our guide and he did an amazing job making sure everyone in the group was good and gave some pretty interesting history while on the ride. Well taken care of horses and would highly recommend using them for your next ride.

Fantastic experience! Well mannered and trained horses, beautiful trails, incredibly nice guides, safe experience. We did the 90 minutes Navajo Spring ride and saw deer, squirrels, birds. They provided helmets ( which they disinfected between riders), and had water on hand.

Had a great time with our guide Robert. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were well taken care of and the 6 of us had a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

AZ High Mountain Trail Rides, a FAMILY OWNED business, was amazing! If you’re nervous about riding or have little experience, don’t be! Robert, my guide and wrangler, made me feel comfortable, safe, and kept me entertained while on the ride. My only concern was the lack of mounting block-- though Robert was able to help me up. The horses were well cared for and clearly loved. They have two locations-- Phoenix and near Mormon Lake. I chose the latter and the drive up from was beautiful and easy (don’t let the directions on the website scare you, my Waze app brought me right where I needed to be). Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently visited The Creator in Arizona, and it was an unforgettable gorgeous, experience! The vast beauty of the wide-open spaces took my breath away, and the stunning views were nothing short of spectacular. The family-friendly visitor center was a great addition, providing informative displays and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely pack your own snacks and water- no food onsite. I also want to highlight the knowledgeable tour guides who made our visit even more enjoyable. They were passionate about the area and shared fascinating insights that truly enriched our experience. I highly recommend visiting The Creator for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Arizona!

We had a great visit to the Meteor Crater! The drive itself was beautiful on a cool Saturday morning - calm and pleasant with little traffic despite the rain warning. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating details about the crater’s history and science. The museum and 4D experience were engaging, and the highlight was getting to see and actually touch a real meteor - truly the star of the show! If you enjoy astronomy, you could easily spend the whole day here.

What a spectacularly massive site to see!! Even the little ones easily made it to the top. There are free water bottle filling stations and a great coffee shop. The children’s play area is neat. The gift shop is great too and even has meteor shards for sale. I’ll never forget the smell of the meteor chunk either-like a huge bag of nickels and iron. The amount of informational displays in the visitors center is phenomenal and fun! We’ll absolutely be back!!!

Visited 11/1/2025 Amazing to see - we were greeted with smiles and welcomed in. The building was clean the restrooms were clean very well kept. The grounds were beautiful. Getting to the crater (the view point) was steep walk the rails came in handy. The rails were nicely painted. They do have an elevator to assist getting to view point. The gift shop was great loved all the mineral rocks they do have space items also. They have tours, attractions, a little museum and other room for kids. It was an interesting. Place. Price 29.00 adult or each.

We had a a great time! The kids and husband loved it and I’m a space nerd so I really enjoyed this! I was like a kid in a candy shop! Just 20-30 minutes out side of flagstaff! Worth the money and the time! Worth the experience! There is soo much to do kids zone restaurant/coffee shop gift shop a 4D movie and a 3D ride! Hayden did the tour and was amazing he made the whole group laugh and he was very patient with our 5 year old answering ALL the questions/statements he asked! We highly recommend stopping for a visit if your around meter crater!!

Impromptu stop on our way to Vegas 🔥 Awesome addition to our road trip. We loved the facts shared at the site. The information gained from the discovery of that meteor crater that helped with discoveries world wide was game changing. Super cool. Glad we all had jackets! Happened to be raining and was pretty chilly out. Overall great. Worth the 31 dollars per person because I'm a nerd and like things like this.

I get it. It’s a hole in the ground, but somehow it’s more. If you’re interested in science this is a worthy stop. You can spend several hours here if you want, including hiking around the crater, but you can also get the highlights and views in an hour or so if you’re in a hurry. There are some interactive things for kids, including a 4D “ride” where the seats move around with a big screen to simulate flying into space. If you’re worried about motion sickness there are some seats that don’t move. There’s also a brief video that explains what happened there, and they offer guided tours (included with admission cost).
