Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Famous bridge rebuilt after being transported from London in the 1970s, with a walking tour.
Slide 1 of 8
Had a great time here. Bats everywhere right at dawn one of the nights. I guess it keeps the mosquito population down. The night before we were there at night and we didn't see bats or mosquitoes. We stayed at a place with the bridge view and it was worth it. We tried walking the bridge but cars were going scary fast so we took our kids off of it right away. There is no pedestrian wall to protect us. And it looked like someone had hit one of the bridge walls already so we didn't want to take a chance. It had temporary fence and cones around it. Another day we went to the nearby beach. We were going to stay for a couple hours and ended up staying in the water all day with the kids. Many nearby restrooms. My husband brought back Jimmy John's and drinks from the gas station. It was so relaxing. No loud musics from everyone. Only one homeless person that I noticed. We went on a Wednesday.
It was my first time there. The photos of the London Bridge that I've seen make it look bigger then it actually is. But a nice spot for dining out with friends. And if you enjoy water sports its great for that. I don't know if I would make a special trip. If I would go again, I would stay overnight by the water so if I had a few drinks I wasn't driving.
What a beautiful area to explore! The Christmas lights give it amd extra glow. So much rich history. Great place to walk amd enjoy some good places to eat. As well as enjoy some adult beverages
Loved seeing this bridge again. The last time was 40 years ago and how things have grown. Well worth the side trip. The museum tells it all and great items to buy.
Wish I could have seen it at night all lit up. Limited time to enjoy. Up there on business. Just played tourist and crossed over and back. Took less than 20min with taking sev pics but it was a fun way to take my lunch break.
Decided to make the trip out to the London Bridge at night and it was so worth it! Very pretty at night and not as hot to walk around the little village. We were able to cruise around the bridge, check out the old bullet holes. Super cool!
Our tour of Lake Havasu on board of the Dixie Belle was magnificent. What a great view of the bridge at dusk! No lightning at night, make sure you have a light to see.
A really cool and unexpected piece of history in the Arizona desert! I loved learning that this is the original London Bridge from the 1830s, brought all the way from England and rebuilt here in the 1970s. It’s such a unique place to visit - the setting is beautiful, especially with the water and mountains in the background. I visited at the end of April, and the weather was perfect - warm but not too hot, great for walking around without the intense summer heat. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Slide 1 of 8
Their hotel is ran separately from the Casino. Their rooms are always very clean and their restaurant serves delicious food. It's not overpriced, already cooked perfectly as we've eaten there many times. Their Casino area is medium sized for this small resort. We have driven here through Needles, CA when we stayed for a few nights. It's a long drive through the bare desert. We enjoy taking the ferry from Lake Havasu near the London Bridge. The ride across the lake is so enjoyable. For a round trip ferry ride it's only $5! The employees at Havasu Landing are all super nice, professional and leaves a really good impression feeling we go there. To be honest, good service is often difficult to find in the service industry but we've always found this place is top notch with every aspect of this restort. Their outdoor pool and hot tub are wonderful too as you have a good view of the lake from the pool area. Take a day to go here for dinner and to play the slots. Our favorite way to visit is on the Havasu Landing Ferry! The sunsets from the top deck are amazing and the ferry runs on the hour until 2 am or so.
It's small but cozy. There were a lot of winners while I was there last. It wasn't me, but that's okay. I've hit a jackpot here before! Plus taken home hundreds multiple times. The beach is really nice too. The bar is sophisticated and they generally have entertainment on the weekends as well as contests to keep you on the edge of your seat!
We frequent this casino often. Payouts are skinny! Cashiers in cage are not helpful and offer slim to no customer service. We drop a lot of money and honestly they could care less. ATMs don't work often and forget about eating the food it is a 2 /10 at best.
The reason I gave them a one rating is their security. I have a licensed service dog for my medical condition that my dog will probably outlive me kind of issue. My dog is trained professionally for my condition. She will alert me with 3 barks and then push me to lay down if I don’t respond. She alerted me in our room and not even 10 minutes later I get a call from the front desk saying that security is saying my dog had barked. I said yes three barks as I am laying down trying to understand why they were calling me. Then, I go downstairs to get something to drink and am approached by two security officers a female and a male. She asked what service my dog provided I told her she is medical alert dog. All this while my dog is in a sit and down doing her job! Then she asked me what kind of medical condition do I have!! Are you serious? You literally just violated my ADA rights and made me feel harassed for having a medical condition that I have no control over. She told me I had to go to the desk and tell them what kind of alert my dog does. I have never been so upset and uncomfortable. I never go anywhere because I literally can’t. I was having a good week so I went for my boyfriends bass tournament to support him. That was not the end I told them to please leave me alone and not approach me anymore yet later that evening again two different security came up to me (as my dog is in her sit and down) and again asked what service she provides. I said medical and I am really getting tired of being harassed everytime I walk downstairs. Then one security said I worked in the ER blah blah blah and I said so you should know and see that clearly my dog is not a “emotional or fake service dog” he said well I know the laws. I will never come back and too bad the staff other than security were very nice. I forgot that o mention a woman comes in with a dog in her purse did they stop her or ask her what service her dog provides? Nope not a word was said to her. I am beyond angry, upset and frustrated. I feel like I want to go sleep in my car until we leave tomorrow.
My wife and I went to Havasu Landing for a Bass club with some of our friends and booked a 3 night stay. The service was phenomenal. Isaac Ochoa went out of his way to make sure our boats were charged and we had a launch ramp right on site. The food was outstanding. We were fortunate enough to have the same server each night. The food was great. The service was better. The room overlooked the beach and the lake and we had front row seats to an epic sunrise every morning. The rooms were classy and the beds comfy. We will definitely be going back. But the best part was there were no crowds. If you want the lake Havasu experience you could take the ferry across the lake but come back to a nice quiet night with good friends and good food.
We were with a group who recently stayed here for a fishing tournament. I was blown away by this quaint little resort from the moment we arrived! There was plenty of parking and management had provided a generator in the parking lot to keep our boats charged. Check-in was a breeze. I had called a few times prior with questions, and even a room change to a lower floor, and the staff was very helpful. The room itself was sparkling clean and modernly appointed. We had a lake facing room and the view was spectacular! The window was much larger than it seemed in photos and had two adjustable blinds, one translucent to mute the sun and the other completely room darkening. The A/C was strong and easily adjustable. I was surprised to find a small fridge and microwave because most casinos don't offer them. There is also an in room coffee maker with provided coffee packets. The king sized bed was very comfortable and an extra blanket was available in the closet. The TV offered what seemed like basic cable but I didn't spend a lot of time on it so not sure if streaming services were available. The shower is large and water presser and temperature were good. All the usual amenities were provided, including a blow dryer. Downstairs in the lobby there is always coffee available. I spent a little time in the casino and service was excellent. The restaurant was also a pleasant surprise. The menu has many offerings and without exception, every item our group ordered was outstanding! There was a BBQ platter, Ribeye steak, seafood and chicken options, and a wonderful chicken alfredo pasta with a little spice. Everyone enjoyed each meal. The serving staff were all outstanding. It's very difficult to accommodate a large group and our food was delivered as it was prepared, but for the amount of staff and what I assume is a smaller kitchen and equipment they fired out the food in a reasonable time. We enjoyed the dining patio as well as the bar patio during our stay there and both are beautiful. There was a live band in the bar area playing classic rock and other tunes. In the morning, the fishermen launched from the well engineered and maintained boat ramp and enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. There is a gas station 1/4 mile from the resort and there are gas pumps at the dock, both with reasonable prices. The resort allowed us to set up our weigh-in equipment on the beach and the boats pulled right up on the beach for this purpose. In short, we had an absolutely wonderful time. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of security and I felt myself and our vehicles/boats were safe. I can't believe I haven't heard about this place before and I will definitely be returning. It would be a wonderful family getaway with such a nice beach, or a great couples retreat if you enjoy a bit of gambling and outdoor activities.
Great little casino. We didn't stay at the hotel so I have no comment about it. They had a haunted house at the old casino for Halloween which was great and I definitely recommend. Boat service back and forth is not completely reliable. We got stuck here for over 2 hours because the boat was running slow and they canceled one of the trips back to Lake Havasu.
Waited in the bar at a table for 10 minutes. Never acknowledged. Went up and sat at the bar. Bartender went back and got 2nd beers for people she had already served. Never looked in our direction, not "I'll be with you in a moment", nothing. We sat there for another 10 minutes and walked out.

Dove Cabin #9 Perfect spot for a girls trip or a spot where only one family on the friend group has an RV. Cost There is a $50 deposit Pets Dogs are not allowed on the beach Poop bags are provided Restrooms The camp host spends a LONG time cleaning the showers and they were clean every time we entered Water Filter bottle filler with cold water!!! Cabin A/c in BOTH rooms in the cabin. Real bed mattresses LOTS of outlets Parking Easy parking Shade and trees at almost every cabin So many shells!! Of course so many bugs The best view is at dusk Stars
We stayed in cabin #6 — a very nice spot that sleeps six comfortably. With the heat outside, both the lake and the cabin’s A/C were lifesavers. The beach gave us easy access to the water, and we were able to launch our kayak and paddle board right from there. We paddled all the way to the London Bridge, which took about two hours round trip. If you're into that kind of adventure, it’s definitely worth it. Fishing was great — lots of carp and striped bass around. The showers were clean, though I’d still recommend wearing flip-flops. The bathroom is cleaned every morning, which helps keep things fresh. Unfortunately, the neighboring family had two cabins and seemed to be a group of about 15. They were extremely loud, and their trash was scattered everywhere. Hopefully, you’ll have better luck with your neighbors. Also, we weren’t allowed to bring our dog, which was a real disappointment as well.
I’ll have to return to Lake Havasu because this trip was WAY too fast. It’s a massive Lake which connects directly to the Colorado River. It’s a beautiful body of water with several docks, lakeside beaches, and water crafts. The two little lighthouses that welcome you to Lake Havasu are adorable, I was able to snag a pic of them! I arrived via a jet boat tour coming from Laughlin and it was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend hoping on a boat and exploring the lake a bit!
Cabins are very nice. It does get a little crowded on the weekends with the other cabins being occupied. There is a fire pit/grill set up which is pretty neat. I highly recommend it! But do reserve in advance.
Great park! Like every AZ state park we have been to, it's clean, well maintained, with friendly and helpful rangers and volunteers. Lake Havasu's campground was especially nice, as the sites are VERY widely spaced apart. Another big plus is our site looked over a beach and the lake.
We came to swim, but with all the boats and jet skis making waves, it's stirring up the lake bed and making the water gross. The "swimming area" is in between two boat launches, so it just reeks of gasoline. Great place for boats, not so much for swimmers.
The park itself is absolutely fine. But at the back of the park, where we were on pitch 36, you have a lot of noise from boats all day long and you're constantly in diesel fumes. It's not ideal for peace and quiet. No sewer at the pitch, but there is a dumpstation.
Very nice state park. Definitely would come back. We stayed in our class c on the cabin loop. Grounds and bathrooms were kept up nicely. The beach and lake were a hit since it was 104. We utilize bikes alot and wish there was an exit on the south end of the park for bikes. Other than that it was great.

A great little visitor center. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and we were able to learn a lot before heading out on our walking tour of the Bridge.
With so much beauty, restaurants, shops, and the London Bridge do not miss this Gem. Full of knowledgeable staff, fun photo opportunities, history and plenty of souvenirs to get as keepsakes. My wife was mesmerized with the film on the history of the bridge. It really is a must to properly understand the the scale of the feat taken to bring the bridge from England to Arizona and its extreme age.
There’s a lot of good information here. The lady that works there was very helpful. The decor in this place was very inviting.
Wow, we stopped here to get information and Stacy working there was extremely helpful. She provided information on where we can rent a boat, ⛵ , restaurants to check out, and places to see all around Lake Havasu. Check out some of the pictures we collected.
Wow, what a fantastic experience! The Lake Havasu Visitor Center is a must-stop for anyone looking to explore this beautiful area. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile by the friendly staff, who are eager to share their expertise and help you make the most of your visit. The center is packed with valuable resources, including maps, brochures, and insider tips on the best attractions, hiking trails, and water activities. We appreciated the personalized recommendations and insights from the staff, who helped us plan an unforgettable day on the lake. The visitor center itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of comfortable seating and interactive exhibits to keep kids (and adults!) engaged. We especially loved the stunning views of the lake from the center's observation deck - a perfect spot for a photo op! Overall, the Lake Havasu Visitor Center exceeded our expectations in every way. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local looking for new adventures, this center is a fantastic resource that will enhance your experience and leave you with memories to last a lifetime. Five stars and a big thumbs up from us - we can't wait to come back and explore more of this beautiful region!
Super friendly lady that had fascinating stories to tell and was helpful when we asked for assistance. It was worth the stop to see some of the funny pictures and history. There are plenty of trinkets that were reasonably priced.
Very nice place to take a walk, relax, grab a bite to eat, take a tour, rent watercraft and get plenty of great pics. The history of the London Bridge is amazing. The local staff members are always friendly and full of information. Drive over the bridge onto the island and get more great pics or relax at the lakeshore. Great photo ops of the sunset over the lake if you are out in the evening. Highly recommend checking this area out!
What a great place for information on the area! The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and so pleasant! Glad we stopped in.

Slide 1 of 8
My family and I will be in Lake Havasu for a month and I’d figure we find a nice park to go to. I love how there are two different play areas, the lake is beautiful. There’s also a skate park right there and it’s all pretty shaded which is amazing. There’s this one piece of playground equipment that you spin on and it’s so easy to spin so my daughters would get super dizzy, but they would keep going back for more, it was hilarious. We stayed there for about two hours. It was nice.
Nice local swimming area but takes forever to get deep enough to swim. If you want a lot of shallow area for the kids, this is it. Perfect sunset photo though! Didn’t like that people were fishing from the shore. Definitely wear shoes to protect your feet from hooks and watch out for people’s lines in the same place that you’re swimming. Seems inconsiderate to me. 🤷‍♀️ Decent covered (some shade) stone tables and benches for eating. Overall an easy access location to take a swim and picnic.
Great place for a swim! There's a nice beach and the water was lovely. The rocks are kind of pointy when getting in, so water shoes would be recommended. There are washrooms available for changing, but no showers for rinsing off after. There's also a good playground near by for kids.
Beautiful pet-free beach. You can have a lunch, kayak, have a beach day, walk around and see the shops. Plenty to do. We got inn-n-out and ate it for sunset at one of the pavilions. Wish we could have brought our dog but totally understand why its a pet free beach. It makes it enjoyable for all. Almost forgot, its also a bike-free zone. Mentioning it because there are signs but I still saw a teenager zooming on the sidewalk yelling people to move. There's always people who cant follow rules set for the safety of others, but just be alert with your kiddos. Amazing free beach when so much is not free in today's world.
Rotary Community Park is a lovely spot on Lake Havasu. It's easy to launch a kayak from the sandy shore, and paddle 6 miles around the island. The Lake Havasu Paddlers meet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at sunrise. Bring your own kayak.
Big park with a phenomenal state park, baseball field, about 6 beach volleyball courts. Big grassy area where they had a car show ththis weekend .
This place is an absolute paradise! I have never seen water so clear, nor have I breathed fresher air. The view at sunset is something you would see in the movies, literally! To be perfectly honest, I'm sure Hollywood has had to pay millions of dollars to capture something as beautiful as this place on film. Perfect place for a family outing with the kids; skate park, some of the biggest and best playgrounds the kiddos will ever see, and clean, clear water swimming, absolute Paradise!!!!! Lastly, if you come anytime through the summer and spring, you just might get a chance to see the magical BUTTERFLY GARDEN within the park's trails.
This park is amazing! Has everything and more! Views, multiple playgrounds, skatepark, volleyball courts, etc. My go to park for all family activities. Only down side is you can not bring your dogs.

Great trails ranging from easy to very hard. There are great views of the lake. The "crack" is a fun trail, but not for those who get nervous by semi tight areas or can't climb up/down boulders.
Wonderful hike in Sara Park slot canyon trail (yellow trail) - fondly referred to as Sara’s Crack. Plenty of signage and trail markers. Folks get lost in this park every year so be sure to take lots of water even if you think you won’t be gone long. We hiked to the end of the slot and turned around to return the same way we came because we liked it so much. Beautiful both ways. Might want to do the Red Trail from the parking lot as it keeps you out of the sandy gravel for a large portion of the walk in.
Great hiking and biking spot depending on heat and time of year. January is when I've gone. All kinds of riding available, expect dry loose and rocky but if you want black level you can find technical sections.
1st time to park. Lots of things to do. Watch a race car or motocross race, remote control airfield, shooting and archery ranges, lots of trails to hike and mountain bike!!
I only really experienced the playground but the kids loved it! Nice shade covering! Clean bathrooms. And tons of trash cans! Nice area to have a picnic and relax.
Ideal for those looking to get 2-4 hours of easy to hard difficulty hiking. Great view at top of Lizard Peak(1380ft). We saw big horn, various skinks, and the entirety of the city. I loved my first experience here. Restrooms were clean. Easy to park. Glad I visited.
Had a great time hiking with the grandkids through The Crack in the Mountain. Nice easy trails, clearly posted markers. Great for those wanting to stay on a safe well traveled trail. Sights were breathtaking and will return to travel the other trails.
Sara’s Crack was a fun hike! It was about 75 degrees during the hike, and if it had been any hotter, we would have been in trouble. There is no shade and it is very desolate and a pretty good change in elevation. The slot canyon was beautiful and interesting and led to a cove of Lake Havasu and balance rock. The full loop was 5 miles. Lots of sand and loose gravel, as you descent a riverbed wash. Bring good shoes and LOTS of water.

Very clean and well maintained campground. The hiking trails are awesome. The weather was awesome when we were here. Rangers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Ice cream and souvenirs available at the Ranger station. The beach has beautiful white sand. We would definitely come here again.
We are in town for a family event and brought along our jet skis. We were looking for a place to launch them, enjoy the beach and bring our dog. According to our AI assistant, this was the best spot. For only $20, our entire carload of 7 with our dog were allowed entry. Easy, and not crowded, plenty of parking and a dedicated dog "beach" where Max could run around off leash. If you don't have a dog there is a lovely "white sand" beach. As it was, we were able to take turns with our jet skis while the others enjoyed the less pretty dog beach. Bonus - there was a tree to sit under.
We had an amazing time at this state park. Spot 59 fit our 42 ft camper, squishy, but we fit. There are grills at each campsite, all sites are 30amp but 4 are 50 amp. Water & power at each site with a dump station upon leaving. Theres a human beach and a dog beach, hiking, kayaking, camping, & grilling. We had a wonderful time with beautiful scenic views for sunset. Highly recommended park!
It was our first time with a boat and a local at a boat shop told us about this place. (We are not the type to book in advance) lol So we rolled up here on a Monday and there was space for us! Spaces were nice that you can pull your whole rig in. They are a little close together but doesn't really matter because we are out on the boat all day anyway. The rangers were all very nice here too and spaces were very clean and well kept. Bathrooms and showers were clean. We didn't use it, but they had a nice little swim beach with some games. They have a nice pet area with poop bag dispensers that you can walk along that leads to a dog beach, I really loved all of this! Made the morning potty walks pleasant. The boat launch was nice, plenty of room and not slippery. All in all it was a AMAZING first experience at the river, with a boat, and camping with a boat and two dogs. 😅 Thank you and I'm sure we will be back soon!
The grounds are beautifully maintained. The white sand Beach is raked daily, and cleaned several times a day. They even use a blower to blow the sand off of the walkways. I was very impressed, and we will be back.
I can’t say enough good things about this park. The location is spectacular, the beach was so much fun. We spent all day out there. Everything is super clean, well maintained, and staff are always around. We can’t wait to return. Campsites are a little close, but everything else makes it so worth it.
The weekend before labor day there's nobody on the water and was a spectacular time, weather was at a blistering 114 degree but once on the water it didn't feel that hot.
One of the NICEST Parks we have been to, very well maintained,staff and Ranger go above and beyond!!! Very nice Beach, Hiking trails are Great with Awesome Views. Military planes flying around are AWESOME. There IS NOT A BAD SITE ANYWHERE IN THIS CAMPGROUND!!!!

We enjoyed going through this museum. It had great information about Mr McColluch and Mr Wood, who had the vision to purchase the land and create a city in the desert. They had displays on the Indians who lived in the area and their influences. The London bridge from England is also located in this city and a great tourist attraction. They also had a special exhibit on the jplane and other lapidary stones on display. We really enjoyed touring this museum. 👍
Informative small museum worth a visit. A small portion of the museum is dedicated to the native population living in the area before Parker Dam was built. Of course lots of info on McCulloch. Scary jail outside the museum. Not very old really - 1970’s. Some fun activities for kids.
A great little museum with lots of information about Lake Havasu City, the London Bridge, Parker Dam, steamboats, local wildlife and with great rocks, activities for kids and a little store. It's free to visit and you can make a donation to help that the museum can stays open. My 2-year-old twins especially enjoyed the children's corner with books, magnetic sand and coloring. They also loved the 3 animals, a gecko, a lizard and a spider.
I happened to go in on the anniversary for London Bridge being moved here, no one else was in the building except employees. Unfortunately the electricity went out while we were there from the storm building outside, so we will have to come back another day. We are most interested in the rocks that can be found here, as well as old mining history.
A must stop when you're in the area. Lots of information about how the bridge came to be. Cute kids area, hands on. Everyone working there was nice. The rock collection was neat and you can buy them as well. Donation admission.
Nice little museum that explains the area. Easy parking right in front. They had activities for kids. Some hands on items and plenty of tiny words to read.
Small museum, but it's free, Plz donate! I learned a lot about Lake Havasu, the guides told me a lot and it was really informative!
This is a fascinating little museum with a lot of information. It explains how Lake Havasu City became a city, how London Bridge was acquired and moved, local wild life, and more! It’s by donation only, and well worth a visit!

This place is great!! I highly recommend it. There are tons of lifeguards, and they are all focused on watching the water. You are also allowed to bring your own food and drink it. I wish our town had this. This aquatic center is extremely well run. The director is doing a great job.
This place is the best! Me and my daughter went here, it was really good. My daughter was very fast on the water slide! She and I loved this place! Unfortunately we live somewhere else, but we will recommend this place to our friends! Best day ever! 🥰
My daughter and I took my grandson to a pumpkin painting class. There was about 20 people there, just enough to not be so overwhelming. We had a blast. The staff is amazing!
Enjoy playing pickleball here. 4 courts set up. $3 a person for 3 hour session. Can be confusing with the various lines. Wish the AC worked better.
Was there for Women with Willpower event. It was set up well with many vendors and amazing prices. They even have security on sight.
Awesome place, kids loved it. 2 yr old had a blast. Teenagers were pleasantly surprised as well .
Friendly staff. Many lifeguards on duty. Nice break from the sun/ heat. Wave pool was cool. Kids really liked the slide (so did I). Definitely coming back.
We had a great time going down the slide and swimming in the wave pool. The price was great so we were able to take the whole family.

Beautiful beach with nice views! It gets really crowded on weekends, especially in the afternoons, but we still found a spot without too much trouble. The beach is clean, the water is refreshing, and there are shaded areas and picnic spots nearby. Great place to relax and cool off!
Who knew you could find a piece of London lounging under the Arizona sun? Visiting the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City was like stumbling upon Big Ben in a cowboy hat—delightfully unexpected and utterly charming. First off, hats off to Robert P. McCulloch, the visionary who thought, “You know what this desert needs? A 19th-century British bridge!” And so, in 1968, he purchased the original 1831 London Bridge for $2.46 million, had it dismantled and shipped across the pond, and reassembled it in Arizona by 1971. Talk about a fixer-upper project! Walking across this historic structure, you can’t help but marvel at the meticulous effort it took to move each of the 10,276 granite blocks, all meticulously numbered and transported via the Panama Canal to their new home. The bridge’s vintage lamps, made from melted-down cannons of Napoleon’s army, add a touch of historical flair. The surrounding area embraces the bridge’s British roots with a quaint AZ Village, complete with shops and eateries that make you feel like you’ve crossed into a parallel universe where Arizona meets the UK. It’s the perfect spot to stroll. In short, visiting the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City is a delightful blend of history, whimsy, and a testament to the lengths we’ll go to make our desert landscapes a tad more weird and wonderful. Cheerio, y’all! #LondonBridgeArizona #DesertMeetsUK #BridgingCultures #HistoricRelocation #TravelCuriosities
What a great time of the year to visit Lake Havasu City! Water is nice. Weather is perfect. Not too crowded.
One of our favorite spots in Havasu!! Lots of live music and the outside seating allows the poochies plus incredible views of the mountains and plane traffic!! Oh...and the staff, food and beer are terrific!! Highly recommend!!!
London Bridge Beach is a hidden gem in the desert-perfect for a relaxing day by the water. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, with families, boaters, and beachgoers all enjoying the sunshine. The water is clear, warm, and calm, ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or just floating around. The views of the historic London Bridge add a unique charm, and there are shaded picnic areas, grassy spots, and a walking path that make it great for kids and couples alike. Whether you're visiting for the day or just stopping by, it’s one of the best waterfront spots in Arizona.
Wonderful surprise to find the London Bridge Beach, although we weren't prepared for it . We were able to find a great picnic area for us...parking was perfect and easy to get to the picnic and beach area, next time we'll be ready to stay and spend the day,!
Nice, clean area to sit. Water looks clean but we did not go in after reading the warning sign. Plenty of rentals and people, dogs were swimming too.
Such a wonderful place to spend a day in Havasu, enjoying the channel and the bridge view!

My first job was volunteering here. I absolutely adore this place. The staff is so helpful. The selection is wonderful, and what you can't find in house, they'll get for you shortly. You can borrow films, games, even consoles sometimes! This is not your grandpa's library! The computers are always available, and they're great for when you just realized you haven't updated your printer drivers in 3 years and need to print you resume for your interview in 20 minutes. The kids area has always been delightful. They even have a YA section in a private room so you 12 - 18 year old can have some peace to game, read appropriately saucy manga, or enjoy some YA novels. They have study rooms for group projects with reasonable privacy. I have always loved libraries. The last safe place in a world of surcharge and influencers. An oasis that some how manages to combine escapism and community. You won't regret visiting your local library!
Lots of places to sit and work with electricity. Very animated kids area with a portal doorway! My daughter and I enjoyed reading the new titles, Spanish books, playing with toys, puzzles and colouring. Very grateful for this space and the friendly staff.
I've traveled extensively throughout the United States and have visited countless libraries. Unfortunately, my experience at the Lake Havasu City Library was the most unwelcoming I've encountered. The staff I interacted with exhibited a level of intolerance and judgment that I found deeply unsettling. Their behavior created an uninviting and hostile atmosphere. I was hoping for a more positive experience at a community institution like a library. I encourage the library to prioritize a more welcoming and inclusive environment for all patrons. I'd suggest Starbucks on Kiowa as an alternative.
This is one of the loudest libraries I've ever been to. I had the unfortunate need to study while visiting family and it was incredibly hard to focus. Even the librarians were almost yelling when talking to people. The study rooms are horrible, their location is right out in the middle of everything like a fishbowl and there's no ceiling so everything echoes in there, intensifying the sound. There's also 1 outlet for a room with a capacity of 4. Lack of outlets was a problem in general.
As for libraries go, it’s fine. Though they seem to be lenient on people being loud. People talk with loud outside voices and so do the staff. Really distracting.
We came here as we are travelling on the road and homeschooling. **The Wi-Fi was hit and miss** We got access to a study room where we set up camp. The study rooms are on a first serve basis with no time limit! Although we were lucky I think there should be a time limit if people are waiting like other libraries. The library and facilities were very clean. The staff for the most part were very friendly.
Great children's area and children programs. We stopped as we were traveling through town, my children loved it so much we came back the next day for the "gross books" children's program. They had a blast. Childrens area has books, computers, toys and games. The is an area with books for sale which is great since we're not local and don't have a library card.
We are new to LHC, having lived here only 5 months. I am so grateful to have discovered the Library's children's programs! The librarians running these activities are awesome, and my girls, ages 7 and 9, have enjoyed them tremendously. They had so much fun yesterday (12/7/19) building gingerbread houses. Thank you so much for these programs! We are becoming regulars, and loving every minute! You guys are amazing!

Annie was wonderful. Throughly enjoyed the performance. Beautiful strong voices. The choreography was superb. The singers and the dancers were fantastic. You always put on quality shows and showcase the local talent that can only be found in community theatre. You are doing an excellent job of gathering together great casts and crew. The lighting and sound volume was spot on. The theatre seating is comfortable and every seat is good. Looking forward to seeing more shows.
Great to see that community theater is alive and thriving in Lake Havasu. The theater is clean and well staffed. We're visiting Lake Havasu. We love doing local things. We were welcomed in as if we were locals. The staff is friendly and helpful. They always have a smile on their face. You can tell that they love being there working with the kids. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Debi and Anna
Nice little theater that we watch a spirited version of Legally Blonde at. The cast, crew and support did a wonderful job.
The show was great, and all of the people helping were very friendly. I will be going back for each show.
I was in the area for business and saw that this theater was doing a local production of In the Heights. I enjoy traveling and seeing Broadway and musicals. You can purchase tickets from the box office or online, which I got my ticket online. You would have to pick up your ticket from the box office before the show. For Lake Havasu, the theater is an okay size. Seating is about 15 seats straight across with aisles in the left and right. The seats are fairly comfortable. There are small bathrooms, one for each gender. There's a concession bar that sells snacks, water, and soda. The theater is clean and maintained. Only bottled water is allowed in the theater. The audio and acoustics need work. Some performers were drowned out by others. At times, audio was too loud to appreciate the performers' range at the high notes. After the show, you can likely meet the performers right outside in the back if you parked in the back lot. I would come back for another show if I'm in the area again, and there was a show I'd like to see.
OH MY GOD!! Into the woods was amazing everyone did great and the special affects just wow
We came to see Little Shop of Horrors. The cast did a wonderful job! The ushers were very attentive. For a small community theater, it was wonderful.
Awesome performance! Great theater! Lake Havasu is lucky to have such an amazing theater with devoted directors. Every show I have been to has been top notch!

This a diamond in the rough in that it’s a bit hidden in the restaurant level of The Barley Brewery and Shugrue’s fine dining. Very nice upscale selection of clothes and jewelry and some other accessories. Nice staff. It’s small but cool! VictorB
Beautiful boutique and art gallery. Unique one of a kind jewelry and art. Affordable fun jewelry and accessories. Stylish clothing, very nicely priced. Very friendly. Helpful. Tatyana made my day.🙂
The owner or the lady with accent, is a very rude person. She needs to learn how to accept criticism. Not everything in your store is as beautiful as you think!
Beautiful and unique merchandise. Clothing, bags, jewelry and art. Bought several things and had wonderful friendly help. I will be back!
This place is fantastic! Full of sparkly clothes, shoes and jewelry plus beautiful artwork. The owner is always super helpful too. I highly recommend this store and their sister store Barracuda.
This is a classy boutique with classy ladies to help you. I liked the fact that they let me look around without bothering me. When I was ready, they helped with a smile. And ladies, you have your husband's permission to shop because he can wait for you right across the hall at the sports bar.
Wonderful art pieces. Local artists' works. Good priced. Owner Tatiana needs to be more friendly. Smile. Be more open with your customers. I honestly felt uncomfortable when buying my piece; I felt that you're unapproachable and closed off. There are people who won't come back to a business no matter how wonderful it is if the owner or other custoner service rep makes people feel unconfirtable.
I purchased a hat from RU Gallery. I was so impressed with the amount of well made and beautiful products in this store. I definitely will be back to purchase more items.

Nice area! Had to go to Petsmart for a Doggy life jacket and they had it! :)
Dollarvtree was good, didn't buy anything at Walmart. After an hour of hinting I could not find what I needed. I know they had a reason fir moving everything around, but ill just have to find me a new d store to shop at.
Nice stores, nice staff, Just didn't have what I needed.

Nice place. Went to see and photograph the Havasu High Flyers, the town's first disc dog group.
Very clean & well maintained! The dog park is absolutely beautiful. We were lucky enough to come at the time of the Polar Plunge so that was exciting. Garbage cans are readily available as are the restrooms.
Nice little park with Disc Golf. Has bathrooms just no lighting at night.
Amazing. One of the best disc golf parks around. It's across the bridge and in the middle of a nice neighborhood. Face it approved. And you can even play it at night. It's awesome. We played tonight the 12th and yes we lost one but had a blast. I guess this guy face marked all the holes with glow in the dark tape so you just have to charge them. Amazing time.
Great bathrooms and cold water drinking fountains and a cut through for a shorter walk on the island. One of the best keep secrets of Havasu. It looks like a private park but it's PUBLIC. I love it. Frisbee Golf too.
Good 9 hole beginner disk golf course. I take out a star because some of tee offs are hard to find we spent a lot of time wondering around trying to figure out where to throw too. But overall solid little 9 hole corse
Nice park with a Disc Golf Course in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Somewhat of a view of the lake, a little too far though.
I live next the park soon there will be gates up. We pay HOA fee for the park . Everyone thinks it's from them. We dont like all the traffic and speeding . If you dont live on Malibu drive then dont used the park or Pay HOA fee then you no business there not yours.
