Fun things to do in Lake Havasu City: 13 fun attractions and activities

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely breathtaking and with room to spread out in comparison to other beach areas. Recommend water shoes EXTREMELY rocky walking out into water.

Great park on the lake they haa skatepark baseball diamond walking trails pull up bars

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.

It's free! (Donations accepted) Very interesting and informative. I learned about the native Americans, the Colorado River, Parker Dam, the London Bridge and McCullough's big project!

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.

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!

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.

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.

This place is Awesome!!! So many boats and people everywhere! Everybody having a good time enjoying life!

Amazing what a visionary mind (Robert P. McCulloch ) can accomplish — moving the London Bridge halfway across the world to inspire future generations.

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.

So very very touristy, carnival like atmosphere. Even has cotton candy and dippin' dots vendors. Plenty of junk food options. The actual bridge is pretty cool, and the setting is nice, great for kids and people of all ages, this is the quintessential American tourist trap.

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.

We had to add this to our trip mainly because it was on my bucket list. My wife as unaware of the significance of Lake Havasu but was thrilled about the town the shops and the bridge. She was so intrigued she watched the video and look a all the display photos And walked the bridge twice to soak in both views. We shopped, dined, and to many photos. But we need to return. I can't believe I forgot to drive over the bridge. Just a beautiful little community. Everyone was smiling. Especially us.

Walk down to the English Village at Lake Havasu. They offer great food options. Cute stores and boat rentals.

Love this fountain. It’s so pretty! Located by the entrance to the visitor center

Pretty fountain to welcome you in the gates to the London Bridge surrounded by the Visitors center and various restaurants and shops.

Had a beautiful walk around the area with cute shops, coffee and ice cream as well.

There is a lot of stuff to look at. This is the closest I'm ever be to London too.

Amazing!

Such a cute little village

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! 🥰

Nice facility all the way around but limited, very limited lap swimming. Just having one lane available throughout the day would be wonderful. I fail to see where one lane blocked off would get in the way.

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.

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

Great talent but very poor taste as far as choosing Spamalot for a play when there are so many other great plays.Spamalot was a disgrace to many churches and to our Lord,shame on you ,Grace Arts Live,last show I’ll attend at Grace Arts Live!

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.

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!

Loved every minute of our boat trip. Weather wasn’t as great as we would’ve hoped but had fun just the same. Kathy is Amazing! & Dillon is just the BEST… so helpful! Thanku!! We didn’t jump but we watched the youngins so fun

Updated: I originally left a 2 start review outlining issues during my rental (below). Kathy promptly responded to my comment apologizing for the inconvenience and wanting to make things right. I sent an email to their contact us page on the website and sent in a message. Kathy quickly responded to my message as well. She did not experience the cavitation issue I mentioned, but that was with an empty boat. We had 9 on board which could have lead to the issue. She was happy to help make things right regarding our issues, which left me feeling more whole. I would now consider renting from At The Bridge in the future, but I'd be sure to call first to make sure we get hooked up with the right boat. Original: The boat we rented was listed with 2 biminis and a 200+ HP engine. When we arrived we were told 1 of 2 biminis was broken and that the prop had been replaced after the previous renter. I shared frustration regarding the bimini and was compensated with a lillypad which was a nice reaction from the manager. The main issue was the power while we were on the water. Maybe it was the new prop, but any time the boat got on plane the prop would cavitate and lose traction. This left the boat feeling like the rug was pulled out from underneath us. We had to putt around at 10-15 mph back and forth across the lake. This means we had less time to enjoy Copper Canyon and Ghostmine Saloon. Boat was dirty, duct taped, and had an arm rest falling apart. Will not rent from "At The Bridge" again. Redeeming quality was the manager's reaction to the bimini, the helpful dock workers, and having the boat already in the water. Be sure to account for 15-20 minutes to get gas when you're on your way back in.

Called, showed up 30 minutes later, rented a jet ski for 4 hours, $400 for rental, $500 credit card damage deposit, refunded immediately. Plus gas and tax. Total $470. Equipment is in good shape, life jackets are newer. Dry storage available in jet ski, sand anchor provided with ski. Beautiful lake, beautiful gorge and enjoyed the beauty of the area. Remember your sun screen. Staff was very nice and informative.

If you are going to rent a boat while in Lake Havasu, definitely rent from At The Bridge Rentals. Having a boat rental shop on every corner can be overwhelming. I am glad we found this place. The positive reviews were right on so we took a chance and walked down to meet them. The friendliness of the owners was very unexpected and welcoming. The rental, briefing, and return process were effortless. No hidden fees. The deposit was credited practically before we left the doc. The boat was well maintained and ready to go. We are experienced boaters, but boating in this area is pretty simple and these people will help get get you going even if you are novice. They were professional, friendly, a family business who puts people first. We took a 22' pontoon and went south down the river, found a little inlet and had the whole place to ourselves. It was wonderful. We will definitely be back. Stop scrolling through other rental companies and just go here. They are conveniently located and well respected.

Decent prices, positive experience and clean equipment. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is because the cost of one jetski was almost as much as a pontoon, which was a bit much. Otherwise, the rest of the experience was a lot of fun for our family.

We rented a boat yesterday for a 4 hour lake excursion and it was fantastic. They made it so easy and we enjoyed tubing and scenery and swimming. They gave us a map so we could easily navigate the Lake. Highly recommend renting a boat here. The staff is amazing and awesome 🤩

Excellent experience, first morning we ran over some rocks and damaged the prop. we came back and they quickly changed it and sent us off with no problem, we returned later and they charged us an excellent price for the prop and were with a great mood with us the entire time. Overall 10/10

We had the BEST time! You do need to bring your own drinks/snacks. Our captain was fun and informative. Our tour was from 5-6:30, the perfect time, not too hot and no bugs flying around. It really was a lot of fun, do it!!

A wonderful way to start out a trip to Lake Havasu. We arrived in town at 4pm, and was on the cruise with Captain Craig by 5pm! Craig was the life of the party, and he definitely made the experience even that more memorable. We went during the week, so there weren’t any other guests on the cruise with us, but we still enjoyed it and it was a great way to learn about the history of the town. Craig also gave us great recommendations for food, drinks, and entertainment which came in handy later that night and into the rest of our stay. Thanks for a great time!! Oh and Craig has the coolest sunglasses, thanks for letting us a sneak a pic with them on ;)

My 2 girlfriends and I loved it! Our captain was Tara and she was very friendly and accommodating and told us great stories and history of the lake and the London Bridge. It's so beautiful out on the lake. I would love to rent a motorboat next time to cruise around the lake. The tiki boat has to stay in calm parts of the lake. Only thing wrong it was not long enough. It's 90 minutes. Bring your cooler and sunscreen and enjoy the ride.

Captain Craig was great! This a very enjoyable cruise. We thought about it for over 3 years. Wish we had done it sooner. Very fun and a great time. Thanks so much Craig.....

Captain Steve was great! It was very relaxing and the views were incredible. BYOB was a bit of a shock considering the cost, but still well worth it. We bought a few pounds of shrimp from Burgers at the Bridge & they will also make your drinks to go. I would certainly do this again. Wear a swimsuit & jump in!

So glad we did this. El Capitan Craig was super fun and accommodating to our music and singing. He gave us a nice range of "cruising" the channel. We came prepared with a small cooler of drinks and snacks and we had a great time!

The tiki boat was immaculate and comfortable. Our captain Tara was a joy and very knowledgeable about Lake Havasu and the London Bridge. Beautiful views all around. We brought our own tiki drinks in a cooler and had a wonderful time! We highly recommend this adventure!

We had a great tour! Captain Dan is very easy going and knows a lot about the area and it's history. He even brought blankets with for us. Very thoughtful guy. We'd definitely go on another tour with him.

My wife and I had an absolute amazing day with Captain Dan. It was a perfect day with a stop at Topock 66 restaurant and some spectacular views. We will definitely do this again and highly recommend Paradise Boat tours.

Dan was more than accommodating! Absolutely perfect tour both days!

Our guide was fantastic. He was accommodating with our requests. We took 2 hr morning ride. He gave nice history of the place too.

Had such a great time with Captain Dan. If you want to see Lake Havasu learn a little history about it and have some good laughs, this is the boat ride for you. What a great day on the water!

Fantastic tour! Absolutely loved the tour and Captain Dan was knowledgeable and pleasant. Could not have asked for a better experience. We have saved the number and plan to tell all of our friends about it!

Wonderful tour of the Topock Gorge :) Great captain!! Very accommodating with our schedule. Stop for lunch at Topock 66. Highly recommend this tour with Captain Dan!!

Wow - what can I say, the experience was perfect from the booking to trip end. The staff were super friendly and we loved being around them and wanted to help out. Gary has been flying for 30 years and explained things to us as they were setting up and was patient with all our questions! The take-off, flight and landing were all very smooth. Lots of photos taken by them and shared with us later that day. Special treats awaited us and were much appreciated! We would do this again and highly recommend them! A bucket list check mark ✅ and an addition to our year of making memories list! Thank you!

What an amazing day!! Gary & Diana were so kind, funny, and helpful throughout the entire process. Unbelievable ride, great company, awesome day!! Thank you both so much!

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.

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.

Stopped here quickly while we were out on the lake. We weren't overly impressed with the overall experience, and the atmosphere wasn't that great. It served its purpose by being close to the water, but that's about it.
