We made a quick stop on our way home from our camping trip and were glad we did. It was amazing to see a monument built back in 1100 that’s still standing today. My son and I walked the trails, explored the plants and water, and browsed through the relics in the gift shop and museum. We even left with a couple of fun little souvenirs. For just ten dollars, it felt more than worth it
Amazing and must see history if you’re driving by- it’s like 4 minutes off the freeway and gorgeous. The staff was INCREDIBLE and so friendly, not sure why so many people were working and no one could check us in to pay, that was confusing. Lovely gift shop though and unique souvenirs. Not sure why so much was blocked off by cones Just a nice getaway overall
The national monument is a must see location if you are in the area. From the parking lot to the front door the walk is easy. Once inside, we noticed the area to the right with had the history of the location and to the left was a nice gift shop area. The staff was informative and friendly. As we approached the historic sight, we were in awe of the size and its location within the mountain. The included pictures may not do it justice. It is a "must see" exhibit. Overall, the Montezuma Castle is worth the time to visit...our children, who were here 20+ years ago were spot on with their recommendation. 👍
National Park pass accepted, otherwise $10 per person. Path is paved and very walkable. Very educational regarding monument and nature around the area. Park is well maintained.
Very interesting and educational experience about the indigenous community and their way of life! Wonderful hiking trail and ability to access for all ages and functional mobility levels. $10 per person entry.
Very interesting and historic venue. If I wasn't near by. I don't think I'd go out of the way to see this. You can't get inside to see the way they lived. Your on a walking path looking up at it. So yes, History it was interesting. But 1 time visit is all I need here.
It’s a nice monument to the old cultural sites, nice first spot to visit after driving from Phoenix to Sedona. However, wasnt a fan of the $10 fee for a small site, and the bathroom was closed.
Good historical site and ruins. Worth the visit, good culture lesson. Nice gift shop, friendly staff. Pretty site surrounds.

Had an amazing time here the other day. I’ve always wanted to visit & I’m so glad I was finally able to do so. The whole experience is amazing. It was a cooler day so all the animals were out & about. The tiger splash was amazing & definitely worth seeing. The whole staffing for the carnivores is super kind & knowledgeable. The safari tour was super fun as well. The one thing I love that they do is all of the animals names are displayed. I loved knowing their names & seeing how the animals response to the trainers when being called. I’ll have to come back to try the zip line another day. We were lucky to visit on a Sunday so we can watch the predator feeding. I highly recommend to go on a day when that’s happening for the additional experience. All of the staff provided a great & informative experience & you can tell they truly care for the animals & that the animals love them back
I loved our visit here. We live in Prescott Valley so it was less than an hour drive. We bought the package that included general admission, feed a tiger and a deeper narrarated tram ride. All in it was about $140 for the 2 of us. My wife loved the sloth. Tiger Splash was fun seeing the big kitty's play. The tour was informative and you saw the animals up close. We all got to feed Giraffes 🦒. A great half day that we will do again.
If there were more than 5 stars, this place would deserve them. What a fantastic experience my husband and I had. Even the turkey sandwich for lunch was way better than expected! And we got to sit by the white tiger while we ate! Everything/one from the start was wonderful. Alana got us all checked in at the gift shop, (we had booked a VIP tour) and had us in stitches with her personality and sass while we waited for our truck. Nikki (sp?) was our tour guide and driver, and she was a hoot! Extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. She was just perfect. All around, the absolute best way to spend a day. The animals were exquisite and seemed happy and healthy, (which is huge for me) and the time we got to spend with them was more than adequate. We got to pet Jericho, the rhino, and we got to feed the giraffes by hand! What a magical place. I could not possibly recommend this place highly enough. We will 100% be coming back.
Went here this past Sunday for my sister's birthday. It was raining, so most of the park was closed off because of running water and mud. The only part that was open was the safari. We had bought tickets beforehand, so we didn't want them to go to waste. What could have turned into a rained out activity, it was actually a great experience! The safari was short, about 25 minutes, but it was awesome. Our guide/driver Armando was great. We got to feed one of the giraffes, Timba, who was really cute and friendly. Walked right up to us and got some great close up pictures and videos. Then we drove around and looked at the zebras, antelope and bulls. We all had a great time despite most of the zoo being closed off and not seeing the other animals. All the staff including the two women at the gift shop were extremely helpful, friendly and wonderful. Wish we could return for another visit!
So we went ziplining across the safari. It was super fun! It rained so we got delayed but we stuck it out and waited. Good thing we did!! The 2 guides were amazing. They really were cautious about our safety and very helpful with all our questions about the animals! We would definitely go back again when more animals werent hiding bc of the rain.
It was fun. What you would expect for hot outdoor view of animals. Staff were great. I would recommend eating and bringing tons of water with you. There is a small place to buy water but its only in 1 location of the park. There is no shade, wear cool clothes and agaim, lots of water.
VIP tour is worth every penny, the guide brings every animal right to the fence to have close up interactions. The owner, Prayeri, met us for lunch and talked with us, she is great, so passionate. Everyone made us feel like a VIPs. Will go again and always take VIP tour. We got to feed a tiger and pet a rhino ! We also returned at night for the special nighttime tour/feed of the tiger, lions and others. Such a great day!
Amazing experience! We did the tiger splash, fed the tigers, went on the super mog (higher tier safari), and then wandered around the park. Definitely don’t miss the supermog tour; it’s worth it for the close encounters with the animals. Stick around for the reptile show and the predator feeding. 10/10 day! 🦁

Very nice visit. Tom started the tour for us giving us a signicant lesson in regards to the guns used at the time and other nuggets of history. The entire park is loaded with interesting pieces of history.
Fort Verde State Historic Park presents what life was like in Arizona, early in its history - including Indian wars. We spent about an hour in the main building, walking through a number of rooms and browsing the various exhibits depicting life, especially military life in Arizona in its early days. Many wartime artifacts are on display across many discipline from doctoring, to soldiering and more. In the last room of the main building, a video plays on a loop. The video is about Indians in Arizona and how they were involved in wars and especially how many of them helped the white man’s army. It was too hot to visit the other 2 buildings across the street today, as they are not air conditioned, so we’re not sure what’s in them. We did enjoy our visit.
Such an amazing piece of history right on my backyard. The parade field and a few of the original bldgs have been fully restored. SO many antiques and relics in the museum and all around. Took my malinois along for the ride, and altho dogs can't go inside the bldgs, she was welcome throughout the property. A wonderful place for history buffs or anyone just wanting to explore!
The park staff was amazing providing insight into the history and weapons. The museum displays were annotated and focused on a subject that provided plenty of detail. Buildings were interesting and you got additional perspective using the QR codes. All in all a good stop and worth the admission fee.
I’ve mostly been a vendor there for the Camp Verde days but the staff there are always nice, the people that visit cool, and so far the weather has always been pretty good. One of the cool things they do is use our axe throwing trailer to help sponsor local non profits. It’s been folks from the local high school to hospice. Always great meeting different folks of the Camp Verde community. If you are from Phoenix it’s probably on the cool side and if you are from Flagstaff, it’s probably on the warmer side.
Loved visiting Fort Verde State Historic Park. I didn’t know anything this cool was in Arizona. Everything was so well preserved. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They are also very knowledgeable and will tell you the backstory to everything you’re looking at. The park had displays with QR codes that you could scan and that would lead you to YouTube videos with reenactments of people dressed in character for the display you’re looking at. It was one of the coolest things I’ve seen!
It's a great little place to catch up on the local history
Well worth adding to the list of places to visit during a trip to Sedona. Located in Camp Verde, this place captures history of the area and provides a deep dive into what it was like living in the West over a century ago. Gives insight to the purpose of the Fort and its significance during the time period it was established. Each building gives a glimpse into the past. Everything well maintained. The rangers are very knowledgeable about the history. Be sure to spend time watching the videos and reading the placards all throughout the properties.

Must do valet parking here. These guys are awesome especially Rick. I felt like we made a friend right from the start. He helped us take our stuff to our room while he told us places around the casino to go visit. Just a great person and always helped us. We also had a great experience with a bartender here named Tracey who claims has been working there for a long time. She took good care of us to. Overall, most of the staff was friendly. Casino and bathrooms are very clean. They do need to work on improving the restaurants here for sure.
My sister and I went for an overnight at Cliff Castle from Prescott Valley. We were off to a great start when the first person we met was Rick at valet parking. He was very friendly, helpful and made us feel welcome. Our room was very nice as well. The gaming was not too good but I guess that’s why they call it gambling!!!
I stayed at Cliff Castle Hotel on October 7, 2025, and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The room I was given was not clean and infested with bed bugs. I woke up with multiple bites and clear signs that the room had not been properly inspected or sanitized. This is completely unacceptable for any guest, especially at a property that promotes itself as a family-friendly destination. I expected a safe, clean environment, but instead left with painful bites and frustration. I’m writing this review not to be rude, but to urge management to take immediate action inspect and treat those rooms, replace the bedding, and ensure guests are protected from this kind of neglect. I truly hope this issue is addressed quickly so no one else has to go through what I did.
Rooms are very clean and nice But we mainly chose this place because they said they had stuff for the kids. They have bowling and they have a small arcade game room. The prices for the arcade room to me were honestly things you can get at the dollar store so they officially took out their family kids own kid quest in August so it’s no longer a family, friendly casino so they might want to take that off of their website along with redoing all of their books that they have in the rooms cause it says it’s there too but other than that, it was a great day. They should also probably think about getting another little convenience store. I don’t know for how big the casino is. They could’ve done a little better on some things.
Stayed in this hotel for one night as we were passing through. Only one person checking in so we had to wait 25 minutes to check in. Other than that, the service was very good. The room was nice, and my one big peeve was the ridiculous coffee maker situation. There was no where to plug it in without creating a hazardous scenario. I only played the slots for a short while as it's not my thing, but people seemed to enjoy it. Had a great dinner at Storytellers, a great milkshake at Johnny Rockets, and a great breakfast at the Mountain Springs restaurant. I would stay here again.
The check in process for finding the front desk entry from the parking lot is missing some key info but the rooms, the casino, the food and views were all awesome. If you wanna save some coin but be near Sedona, come here! Great staff at the bars and other areas too! Oh, and we bowled one night, cuz why not?!??
Hotel was clean and updated. Stay was October 19 & 20th. Multiple Dining options. Staff was friendly. And contrary to another review I saw, there were no signs whatsoever of any bed bugs. Casino was good. They were new and newer slot machines and table options as well.
Everything was great! We were in town for a wedding, and Rick and his team made things great! From free and friendly valet, to easy bell hop service, our stay was smooth and amazing. Highly recommend!

Beautiful small museum! Interesting collection of artifacts. Comfortable parking
We stopped by on a whim while driving through a snowstorm between Sedona and Phoenix and were very glad that we did. It's an amazing museum and interpretive center covering archeology, art and nature. It is so well done with carefully selected pieces in numbers that don't overwhelm the senses and knowledgeable volunteer guides. Be sure to see the video of an Apache tribe elder talking about history. We highly recommend a visit.
Nice little museum. Make sure to take the time to listen to the two videos they have. Its a quick museum plan about an hour. They have several displays but if you want to know what its about, this is not the place, its take a photo of what you are seeing and then google it to learn about what you are seeing. Very nice volunteers.
We wanted to check out something indoors that was simple and easy to get around. I love all the history and items dedicated to the Native American tribes. Employees were very helpful and eager to talk about the items they had displayed. Loved it.!!
Great little museum. Small, intimate setting that does a wonder job explaining the native history of the area. Kaden did a wonderful job interpreting the exhibits for us. Absolutely recommend if you're passing through.
This is a local treasure of Central Arizona history. Well-preserved, well-presented exhibits, and friendly, knowledgeable volunteers who are happy to help. I'm happy I discovered this place!
Wonderful museum. Great exhibits. Staff seemed burned out and lacked enthusiasm. It is still worth seeing the exhibit and spending time learning about the area. Worth the drive to experience this museum. 👌
A fantastic museum whose staff is very knowledgeable about the local history, the artifacts on display, and the modern city. On our visit we were the only patrons, which was nice as the museum is on the smaller side. To our surprise we were given a guide, which was spectacular because she (I forgot the name, I'm sorry) shared many stories about the land and each exhibit. My favorite exhibit was the giant mural of the Hopi migration story that includes a video of the artist their self and what it meant to be Hopi and what is means to be Hopi today in a modern world. I highly recommend visiting.

Drove up last week for fresh picked corn. Sweet tasting tender corn on the cob. $ 8 for a dozen. Opens at 8. Get there early before they run out for the day
Two years ago, corn was EXCELLENT. Couldn't get enough. Disappointed when the season ended. Last year, the early season corn was good. The rest, just average. This year, very disappointing. Very buggy. Worms in most of the corn and not just at the top. Taste was no better than supermarket. We won't be going back.
The best corn in the western USA but for some reason this year ears have been small and/or not fully formed. We have had to cut or throw out about half of the 24 ears we purchased this season still the sweetest corn around.
Best corn We traveled two hours just to get it every year.
I was there just a few minutes after opening on their first day of business this season. I was pleased at how smoothly things ran. It was a mob, but everybody was polite and most were wearing masks. The term for "sweet corn" just starts to describe what they grow. It can be cooked like any other corn on the cob, but it is also wonderful raw.
Locally owned and operated so I always like to support local businesses. The corn is usually very sweet and decently sized. Unfortunately, I had to knock off a couple of stars because of the high price tag and the fact that the last dozen I bought we're almost completely useless because of multiple worms in each ear. They don't allow the corn to be shucked onsite so it's just a gamble as to whether or not you've got clean corn. It's worth a try but remember to buy some extra or you may not have enough for everyone at the BBQ!
Greatest corn I've ever eaten!!!
Mask required 😷. Went to a farmers market and bought some corn 🌽. Think? it was $7.00 for a dozen. Roasted some corns when we got home and they were delicious. I live some 50 minutes away and it was definitely worth the drive just to buy some good quality corn even though it was quite hot and it was nice to go out for a drive.👍
