We love Bodie! Plan on spending a morning or afternoon out there. The tours are very educational, the museum is fun, and the staff is very knowledgeable and just great with visitors. Be prepared for sudden changes in the weather, bring water and wind-proof jackets, and a camera!

Well worth the visit. Been there twice. Once touring on our own. This summer, came back and did it the right way - a tour with a guide from the Bodie Foundation. It is great to see all the historical buildings and artifacts on your own but it is just fantastic to have someone put the story behind what you... More

As the old story goes, the caption of this review could also read, "Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie"! I have been to Bodie many times and plan to go again. I find the place very interesting and intriguing from a historical perspective. It is not touristy at all and is actually a state park where the old town... More

This place is a little off the beaten path. You drive for what feels like forever on a dirt/gravel road but once you get there it is amazing...and creepy. To see a school that looks like the students and teacher disappeared, to hear the wind whistle through the church...all of it is creepy and amazing all at the same time.... More

If your Interested in History and Photography, this is a place you cant miss when your in the mammoth Lakes Region.

I have made numerous trips to Bodie State Historic Park. THings to remember: this is romote, so facilities are not available. No food, drinks, etc. However, the park docent truly gives a talk that will take you back in time.

If you are thinking of going to Bodie, try to get there as early as possible. When we arrived there we were almost alone and the feeling of “ghostness” was quite overwhelming. We walked along the main street feeling quite like in an old movie where a hero expects a bad guy to turn up while all the good local... More
