- JoeNathan9249Saint Paul, MN5,921 contributionsFun and interesting area to walk around it.

- LTTTucson, AZ194 contributionsI'm a fan of local history museums and this is one of the best. Multiple outbuildings with very knowledgeable docents in quite a few. Loved hearing the history of Prescott and how in the current day they make the effort to preserve their history. A must stop for anyone in the area.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- oriole772017Scottsdale, AZ10 contributionsWhat a nice little sanctuary. Mostly rescues here, but a pretty complete variety, from tarantulas to Mexican Gray wolves. 4 full time zookeepers and dozens of volunteers make this place hum. Highlights are the wolves, coyotes, owls, bald eagle and Gus the huge black bear. Enclosures are spacious and clean. This is a very well-run facility. Highly recommend.Written March 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nellie858Minneapolis, MN88 contributionsA compact and well put together museum. I spent an hour and wished I’d had more time. A nice variety of ancient, historical, and modern pottery, art, and artifacts. I also enjoyed the special exhibit on modern people’s take on historical s and current events.Written March 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alan FosterPrescott, Arizona71 contributionsLooks like a movie set (and in fact has appeared in a number of films). Beautiful trees, locals walking their dogs or just taking in the air. Directly across the street from famous Whiskey Row and surrounded by restored buildings now housing shops and restaurants. A functioning courthouse. Famous statue of Rough Rider/lawman Bucky O'Neil out front, considered by some the finest equestrian statue ever made. By Solon Borglum, brother of Gutzon Borglum (Mt. Rushmore). Great place to sit, people watch, and nosh on something from one of the many nearby restaurants.Written October 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kelly KFishers, IN80 contributionsFantastic hike with great views all the way up and down. Left hand side of trail is paved to the top but is steeper than the non paved path to the right. Side trail near the top is worth it for the fantastic view of Prescott and the surrounding area.Written May 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob & BarbPrescott, AZ40 contributionsExcellent parade! The parade route goes around the courthouse so plenty of good seating. We lucked out and sat under a tree on Montezuma street. The Rodeo was great as well.Written July 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LTTTucson, AZ194 contributionsStopped by at the recommendation of a friend. Not a big fan of western art but this little museum was worth the stop. Not just kachinas...had a short term photography exhibit which was very interesting. The permanent exhibits taught me things I didn't know. Well worth the stop.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DogDoggieWorldWide646 contributionsFantastic experience at Goldwater Lake. Took a short hike with my dog...we both loved it. Easy access from Prescott. We went in March...beautiful day...not many people.Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luv2TravelFarNWidePhoenix, AZ1,251 contributionsWe got lucky and hiked the Thumb Butte area the day before they closed Prescott & Coconino National Forests due to fire danger. They were evicting campers & hikers, and cancelling future camping reservations. Be sure to check before you go.
However, after a long morning hike we could see why -- the ground is cracked and dry, the forest is brown. Prescott desperately needs rain.
Once it reopens, its worth a visit if you like to hike. Lots of trails and unless you insist on doing one of the super popular ones, you won't see many people.
NOTE: There is a $5 day pass fee collected in the parking lots. Be prepared with correct change and a pencil to write with; you must leave your receipt on your dashboard.Written July 2, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The scenery was stunning and the service superb. I recommend the 2 hour tour.Written March 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Betty MOro Valley, AZ482 contributionsI always seek out the local artists run shops wherever I travel. PROS: well done layout, lots of variety, friendly, knowledgeable staff.
CONS: prices seemed high. Would be nice if they had a section geared to the traveler. Perhaps some small items under $25 and others under $50. Love to support Local, but can't afford the prices sometimes.Written June 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
