If you knew to the area or just haven’t done it yet there’s also the Butte loop go out to take the main road. Keep on the main road all the way it’ll take you out copper basin Road but halfway there is the lookout down skull Valley and Yarnell area. Beautiful scenery. Wouldn’t do it in the snow go check it out takes about an hour and a half take your time site to see.

Beautiful place to visit, live, camp, hike, explore the beauty of nature it's scenery and its wildlife. I live close to downtown prescott in the park avenue area and we see deer and other wildlife daily. The animals are pretty tame for being wild we have deer that will come and eat right from our hands and let's pet them. Love living here it's beautiful.

Beautiful place for hiking, or kayaking or just for a nice afternoon lunch. The facilities are always clean and the areas are litter free. Always a great time! Addendum added 03/01/21 With the severe drought we’ve had up here in the past couple of years, the water line has receded a good 6-8 feet and although the lake is still great for kayaking, the waterfall and of course the creek has been dried up for a while. It’s still a beautiful, clean, safe place for any outdoor activities so please go and enjoy!

Great views. Peaceful Saturday morning hike

You probably don't need me to tell you...but I will anyway. Mountain biking around Prescott is AMAZING! The entire city is surrounded by trails. In fact there's literally a 57 mile trail that loops the entire city. There are trails for all skill level but be sure to pick up a map of the local trails and stick to the ones you think you can do. Coincidentally the $1 map you can pick up around town is the best one I've seen. If you're into apps then go with MTB project app for great details, plus it runs in airplane mode so you won't blow your battery searching for signals. Hiking and trail running these same trails is very popular. Plenty to do up there. Camping is all on a first-come basis. Most sites are easily found off the upper portion of Thumb Butte Rd. High clearance vehicles not needed but definitely a plus, the county does not maintain the roads and they are closed in the winter. For any other details, well you'll just have to check it out yourself.

Great hike, fun for all ages. Out and back. Granite mountain is awesome and it's better now that all the dead and burnt plant life has pretty much disappeared after the fire some years ago. Lots more green everywhere.

Beautiful! Well worth the drive! Beautiful views looking over the city. The thing we like best when visiting the Prescott/Prescott Valley area is the variety of different terrains we encounter in just short distances.

This park is a hidden gem! From the bike pump track to the storybook walk for kids, there's something for everyone. The towering trees, scenic creek and bridge, volleyball court, sprawling green grass, and fun jungle gym make it a perfect spot for families. Our dogs had an absolute blast, and we had a great time too. Highly recommend!

This is one of our most favorite parks in the area. In the summer the splash pad is amazing and packed with kiddos. In the fall it’s wonderful and a nice place to relax and let my little one play. I love the theme of the park, the train play area is incredible. Really well thought out and lots of different play activities for both younger and older kiddos. Currently the city wants to pave this park, which would be an incredible loss to the community.

We had quite a good time having our work picnic here! Plenty of space and the weather was beautiful that day. The only thing I would suggest is getting the bathrooms on the far side of the park fixed. It’s a bit of a far walk to the bathroom and we had to take several trips because we also had lots of kids.

Fun place to take kids and has hiking trails. But be warned and keep yours eyes open as there can be some weirdos. Plenty of friendly people visit here regularly. Also a lot of people bring their dogs. Overall a nice park to visit and explore. You can take the trail to a splash just off Whiskey Row.

It looks like a nice park but.... I took a lunch to enjoy beautiful weather. Upon arriving the parking was rather full and not many people on the grounds. I parked my car and was hit with a putrid smell, it turns out the parking lot was full of homeless people living in their vehicles! I wasn't able to breathe the fresh and clean air of Prescott in a park because of un-showered homeless, very sad and depressing.

The park is huge admist lush greenery. We sat on the picnic mat . The weather was perfect,we had late picnic lunches gane of Frisbee. Our year old baby enjoyed crawling. It's nice and peaceful.

The city needs to maintain the park better. The "sand" in the volleyball court is an injury waiting to happen. The light near the court is drowned by the overgrown tree. The horseshoe pit is trash. Absolutely zero respect put into this public park, yet your tax dollars are being taken.

Definitely worth doing if you have some extra time in Prescott. This is the location of the first building, the governors mansion and the first headquarters of government when it was established as the capital. The transportation museum is really awesome and really a lot of really cool replicas and actual old buildings takes you back in time! !!

We loved this museum! Our family - ages 10 to 60+ enjoyed reading, learning, and exploring. We spent three hours here and did not see it all. It was nice that kids are free and that admission covered two days!

I have a lovely time here with my husband, brother, and sister in law. It's a laid back museum that shows artifacts from Prescott History. It's super cute and I found a couple neat books in the gift shop too. You can take a couple of hours to get through it, or, take extra time to sit on the benches and enjoy the landscaping.

Omg, this is a must see museum in Prescott, AZ. It's $15 adult admission, but, worth every penny! It is on 4 acres with beautiful landscaping between the historical buildings. Each building has a different theme regarding the history & artifacts of the evolution of Prescott. One is Travel, which has bicycles from the 1800's to an actual covered wagon. Another an original house exactly as it looked, with the household items displayed. I could go on & on. So, if you are lucky enough to be in Prescott, AZ, you should plan it as part of your itinerary.

Fantastic visit and history of Prescott and surrounding the with a really nice native American exhibition

The rose garden is so beautiful! Everyone was so kind and the buildings are all so great. There was even a neighborhood kitty (Mr. Chunk) who stopped in to say hello. It's an excellent place and we'll be going again very soon.

The Sharlot Hall Museum was so nice to visit! There was so many historical artifacts to see, ranging from natural history, Native American History, and Western history. We especially enjoyed walking through the Governor's Mansion and Fremont House. It was so fun to see what our everyday products used to look like in the 1800s. The docents were friendly and informative. Highly recommended stop while visiting Prescott!

Heritage Park Zoo is a great place for kids. All the exhibits are the perfect height for children, and closer than a larger zoo so you have a better chance of seeing the animals. There are large conservation efforts and it seems like the animals are well taken care of. There is also a playground and water feature for children to run through and scheduled times for feeding where the caretakers introduce the animals, tell their back stories, and educate patrons. There are mostly native species of animals to see with some exotic species as well and they are currently working on expanding the reptile house. Overall neat zoo and a great time for children and adults.

Amazing place for little kids. Really enjoyed how close the animals are. The petting zoo area was a fun spot. There are lots of playgrounds throughout to play on and even a little splash pad. The zookeeper interactive sessions with the bears and jaguar were real highlights!

What a great place! Wow! We were so impressed! Playground, splash pad, and all the animals to see, makes it an awesome experience for kids! Well kept grounds! Highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience! We opted for the private behind the scenes tour (1.5 hours, just under $300 for two people), and it was so worth it. You get up & close to several animals to give them snacks, and the host gives you a plethora of information about the sanctuary and each animal. Dyann was so knowledgeable and a great guide for our experience. The sanctuary is a wonderful cause and well worth every minute. It's not a massive complex either, so it's very easy to take a stroll around with just a few little hills and awesome scenery. Highly recommend!

Just spent a wonderful few hours visiting the zoo. The park was clean and the walk through clearly marked. The zoo is fairly small compared to those in large cities. We finished the walk through, played in the splash pad (SO glad they had one), and visited the gift shop in about 2.5 hours. We loved seeing the wide assortment of large cats and birds of prey. There was a summer camp happening and all the kids looked like they were having a blast.

This is a great little zoo. Seems well kept but most of the animals are nowhere to be found of it is a warm day or unless they are being fed. Just be aware of that before you go.

I absolutely loved it!! It was just me and my son that went and we had a blast! All the staff were super friendly and helpful! 10/10 would recommend. (My only "complaint " would be options for food..but thats okay i brought lunch anyway!)

We ordered the regular pizza not silician aka thick crust and it was more like a flour tortilla with cheese and pepperoni. Hardly any sauce on pizza. No flavor no oregano. Waiter didn’t seem to care and didn’t even offer us anything to make it right or even ask us for dessert. I guess once you question their food they want you out of there asap. Sad it used to be a good place.

Came here with my GF, drove all the way from Phoenix, food was great, service was great atmosphere was great, weather was great as well will definitely be back !!

This is my third time visiting Rosa's , this has slowly become my go to pizzeria in Prescott. The food is excellent, service top notch (felt like family) , restaurant is clean spread out and the outdoor patio is perfect for a quick bite and beverage. Price is very fair for the high quality and value. Keep doing what your doing this is what makes people come back. Would highly recommend for anyone in town for a visit.

Had a great family lunch at Rosa’s Pizzeria. We ordered pasta, Margherita pizza, and white pizza—all were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The crust had that ideal balance of crisp and chew, and the toppings were generous without overpowering. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and service was attentive throughout. A solid spot for families looking for quality Italian food in Prescott.

While we’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed it, what led me to leave a review today is their exceptional service on a pick up order. I had called two other pizza shops looking for someone to help me create a special announcement through food and both of the other ones immediately said they couldn’t help, which is fine, but Rosa’s not only helped, but their staff seemed excited to help be a part of it. I just really appreciated their excitement and assistance and they really helped me create a special, memorable moment. Thank you all so much!! Definitely recommend Rosa’s! Great food and a great place for celebrating big life moments, as they are people who will celebrate with you and show that they really care.

An absolutely wonderful experience! The atmosphere and decor is delightful and the staff were exceptional; very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! The chicken parmigiana with angel hair pasta was great. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and the marinara was flavorful with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, and it wasn't watery at all, as is often the case in restaurants. The chicken was excellent too; crispy, well-seasoned breading on a thinly flattened breast that was still moist and not dry in the least. If I were to nitpick a bit, the only gripe I'd have is that there might have been a tad too much cheese on top which slightly offset the flavor balance of meat and cheese. But that is a very small thing and overall it was very good. My friend got a pizza and it was also excellent. Fresh cheeses and tangy sauce on a fantastic crust. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be visiting again!

Chicken Martini was GREAT on our first visit & also loved the Peach Sangria. On our second visit, the same chicken dish was a little dry & sauce was not the same. Very good service and nice cozy atmosphere.

Order my usual burrito with the extra cheese, double wrap extra sour cream, extra corn salsa and they went like 10 times the amount on the extras and were giggling when I picked it up. I’m gonna call and see if I can get it replaced but… come on guys this is like a 15 dollar burrito not some play thing for you to screw around with. I appreciate the 4lb burrito (yeah 4lbs on the food scale) but come on guys this is my dinner for the day

The salad did not have the super greens lettuce blend advertised. Many pieces of chicken appear to be from parts you don't want. The brown rice in the burrito was not cooked and felt like little rocks. There does not appear to be any quality control. The staff looked disheveled and seemed to focused on how fast they serve up the order. True definition of fast food. Will not return.

Bigtime disappointment for a normally great place to get fresh food. All the tables were dirty, had to clean a table so we could sit. The entire restaurant was out of spoons, when we asked the guy at the register if they had spoons, the only syllable he spoke was "no". He then went back to standing there doing nothing. The first gentleman taking the order was great, everyone else clearly hates their jobs and doesn't care about customer service or being a decent human. Plus side, there was no wait, probably because service was so terrible.

There was a long line out the door so must be good, nope. Friday night at 6pm they are out of lettuce, cheese and the rice was crunchy and undercooked. You would hope they would be more prepared for dinner time on a Friday. After waiting in long line for take out it was very disappointing.

My husband has previously left a negative review on Google. On Saturday, May 17th, my husband and I came for lunch. I ordered a salad and was told there was no dressing. I heard the manager ask the kitchen staff for dressing. She never addressed me and never brought dressing out. My husband ordered a bowl, and his rice was undercooked. Before ordering chicken, I asked to sample it because it has been extremely salty in the past. It was edible, but probably still saltier than it should be. My last concern is the state of the restaurant location. The floors are sticky and grimy. Every place My eyes looked was covered in crumbs, food, and debris. We chose to take our order to go last minute due to the lack of cleanliness. Chipotle offers a unique flavor and higher quality of ingredients, which is the reason I choose to dine here. However, I simply will not eat at this location moving forward. I don't trust the sanitation efforts and the food grade. After reading reviews of the Prescott Valley location, I am not sure it's even worth a drive across town because it seems there are the same complaints and issues at that location. It's pretty weird and frankly sad. Is this a problem across the board? Or is it due to lack of good help? We have spent approximately $160 in the last 3 months after checking our bank statements, and none of the food has been up to the standards we are used to. I've been eating Chipotle for 22 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I love Chipotle, and usually go about once a month. For the last three or four times, since around May, the most outstanding feature of my experience has been the rudeness of the employees. The expressions on their faces range from bored and apathetic to irritated and angry. They are not welcoming, not helpful, and even rude to each other. Last time, when I asked "What is the new thing, sour cream vinaigrette?", I was told by a smirking employee that "it's just sour cream and salad dressing and you mix it yourself". Okay! I am going to drive out to Prescott Valley the next time I feel a Chipotle crave.

This is the last time I go to this Chipotle. Every time I come here the container is so soggy it falls out of the bag. I have no time to eat my lunch now during my break because I have to clean up the mess this made in the office. Bag ripped on me when I opened the door, I could barely pick up the bowl because it was so soggy and then it dripped all over the office. I should've learned the last time but I figured I'd try it. Well this is the last time. The music is too loud in there and the service is slow because they always have 1 person running food when the line is our the door during lunch time. The staff is hard working and kind which is the only perk here it seems.

The only thing I'm reviewing here, are the milkshakes. I hate fastfood milkshakes and usually avoid them, but...if I have a hankering for a shake, I'll stop and grab one from Jack in the Box. The only reason I didn't give their shakes 5 stars was because it didn't look like they had cleaned their machine for a few weeks, but the shake was still delicious

Haven't gone in years. Went the other day and the jumbo jack is no longer jumbo. Looked almost half the size and the bun was different also. Taste was not very good at all. Someone bought me lunch. Happy I didn't pay for it. Not worth it at all. Service was good.

We went through drive through and the girl taking our order was very rude for no reason. I don’t know if hairnets are required but no one had one on. Nobody was wearing gloves and just very unsanitary.

Awesome deal for 2 tasty tacos 🌮 for $1.69. Friendly staff and fast service today Thank you from your Tucson friends 😎😇🙏

I love Jack in the Box so much. The tacos are perfectly unique and tasty, and their chicken strips are some of the best fast food chicken strips. Also amazing shakes. Keep up the good work and thank you for your service.

The monster munchie meal was terrible. They just throw everything in a box and the mozzarella stick was hollow. No cheese. And for 14.00. Don't order!

I live in Prescott Valley and it's a pretty long drive back to Willow Creek to tell the drive-up window dude he forgot my two tacos in my bag! Everything else for my friend was in the bag, but no site if my tacos 😞 friend was cool enough to share her burger and fries with me
