Bridge

Sights & Landmarks

Points of Interest & Landmarks

The famous London Bridge, which was rebuilt after being transported from London in the 1970s, is a major attraction in Lake Havasu. Visitors can take a walking tour to explore the bridge and its surroundings. The area around the bridge offers many options for dining, shopping and entertainment. One of the popular activities is riding on the casino boat across the lake for a nominal fee of $2 where one can enjoy scenic views of city lights reflecting off water at night.

Pretty awesome! Glad I made the trip. Looks like a great place to party with friends or a fun day with the family on the water. There's a little bit of everything no matter what the occasion maybe. So many food options, friendly people and countless fun things to do.

I absolutely love the structure of this. History saved and new history created. The details on the lamp posts are amazing. Great view from all sides on top and underneath.There's plenty of shops, restaurants, restrooms, parking, activities, and history to learn. The culture and atmosphere just pulls you in.

My kid asked to go here for his 16th birthday. I wasn't thrilled, but it was his request, so that was what we were going to do. I had surprisingly a fun time. It's a cool thing to see but nothing to write home about. I liked the historical things discussing the bridge in that city but wished they added more about its history in London. That was the bridge they used to put heads on. It had 2 former queens decorating it. Shout out to King Henry for the murders!The surrounding city was friendly, and the scenery was very pretty. I would see it again.

Such a great place for a relaxing weekend! We rented a boat and checked out the sites, so beautiful! I loved the little light houses around the lake, perfect addition!

What a unique, and kind of random, piece of history in Arizona!They deck out for the holidays! Beautiful lights and a fun little walk for Christmas! Fake snow, sync music, and all!

What a sight! Very clean and well maintained area! All the restaurants and going ons were fun! People from all over the country here! The story about the bridge and channel is interesting as well. Great place for family time!

Really nostalgic place heavily documented with signage and info. Great food around, too. The red phone booth and other props are great for photo ops. The homage paid in the bricks was very touching. Several other great stops close to the bridge makes it an awesome time along our Route 66 adventure!

Absolutely beautiful place and very friendly town. Loved the fact that its a dog friendly town, allowing us to have our golden retriever and Chihuahua at all time. Outside of being dog friendly, most people cleaned up after their dogs too.

Ronny K — Google review

Very cute little "village" where you can eat, shop, or just walk around and enjoy. There's restaurants to eat, stands to buy quick bites, a park to walk along the river, lighthouse replicas to see, and of course boat rides. The kids enjoyed themselves (I have teens and little ones) It was a lot of walking but very beautiful views and picture opportunities.After walking around and exploring, we ate at "The Chair and decided to call it a day. We were there a total of 4 hours (including lunch). We went during winter, Dec 28. I think it looks even prettier during Spring or Fall. We'll be back one day 😊

This was my first time here and it was really nice. There was some construction going on so certain areas were blocked off. Overall we had a good time walking around ..

Amazing bridge beautiful and well kept 🌉 The little area below is adorable we absolutely loved the little shops and restaurants. The whole thing is such a good vibe. Many amenities to rent for the day and a inexpensive boat to take you across the water to a casino. Our new favorite spot in Lake Hasavu 💛

Lindsay M — Google review

Great shops and great places to eat....However, while my mobility is currently limited due to surgically reconstructed foot.The primary drawback is that there is only one way to access these great shops if you are in a wheelchair or other adaptive device or mode of ambulation (knee scooter, crutches).... There is only one ADA approved entry to this area. The surface is relatively unlevel and has many steep inclines.A few of the shops also lack ADA approved access points either for entry or internal travel.

Jeff O — Google review

The bridge itself is nice, and there are many businesses around it. Restaurants, gift shops (pricey), boat rentals... you name it & it's probably there. Had a lovely time there with friends. And the ferry lands there for easy access from/to the casino across the lake.

Colleen D — Google review

In the 45 years we've lived in AZ, we had never visited this attraction. 🤔 We were very to surprised to see how nice it was. It starts with a very nice gift shop with some historical displays. As you walk down to the bridge, you'll see shops and places to eat. There is a lovely paved walk along the river which leads to a wonderful little city park.The channel that they dug to make the bridge go over water (only bridge built over dry land and then flooded to make it that way). The resulting island has an interesting drive around it where you can see about 15 models of famous lighthouses.The biggest surprise was that it didn't cost a dime to use the gift shop or see the bridge or walk. It was all very nice and would recommend seeing it if you haven't been.

Jack M — Google review

The lighting of the bridge at night and taking the river boat out underneath it seems to immensely amplify this amazing experience. There are plenty of outside shops and eateries that you can sit at and watch the entertainment. It's definitely a place worth visiting .

Bryan J — Google review

Lake Havasu is always fun and the London Bridge is pretty cool. There are places to eat, drink, and shop. For $2 you can ride the casino boat across the lake to the casino and back. Great way to get a tour of the lake and at night you get to see all the lights of the city reflecting of the water. Very beautiful. Highly recommend the Starship tour that takes you on the lake and up the Colorado River.

Joe H — Google review

Been there a few times, but most times I've been most stores were closed in the winter. Made a point of going during spring break time. It wasn't too busy. My girls loved it ad well. They especially loved the ice cream shop. Be warned, it's cash only.

I love this cute little city! If you’re ever in Havasu you have to visit the London Bridge. There’s different restaurants, very nice walking path, and overall just a great vibe!

Aaliyah J — Google review

London Bridge was purchased, dismantled, transported, then rebuilt In Lake Havasu City prior to dredging and making the channel and creating the island. It’s a piece of world history in the middle of the desert. A must see when in Lake Havasu, make sure you take the time to see it at night lit up!

Michele S — Google review

Most people confuse London Bridge in Arizona with the iconic London Bridge in the United Kingdom. The one in Arizona was purchased in London in the 1960s, dismantled and reassembled on Lake Havasu. It's a beautiful place with great views, especially during sunset, and a popular spot for tourists and photographers. The bridge itself is surrounded by shops, restaurants and recreational facilities, making it a picturesque place worth visiting. Very good restaurant right next to the bridge, we will definitely come back here!!

Szymon F — Google review

They removed all the love locks unfortunately.London bridge was originally built in the 1830’s, and bought by Robert McCullough for $2,460,000 in 1968 and moved to the new town Lake Havasu to bring in tourists. This was an amazing feat and one of the most memorable investments for a town ever made. Now the new local government wants to change that and make it a ghost town. Very sad to see the new changes to all of havasu.

Matt F — Google review

This is a great place to visit! The bridge has an amazing story of how it got to Arizona. We arrived on a Monday mid-morning and the place was pretty empty. We were able to explore everything we wanted and took our time doing it. We had our RV and we're able to park it in the dirt lot with plenty of room to spare. There are lots of restaurants and other activities like boat tours and rental equipment. Overall, we have been having fun and apparently we just missed the Spring Break crowds!

Mike B — Google review

Not much to say. It’s London Bridge in Arizona. Worth a visit for the novelty value alone. Plenty of hospitality in and around the area, but the bridge itself is really just a snap and go attraction.

Luke B — Google review

Very interesting to visit, see and learn about the bridge and what brought it to Lake Havasu City.It's very unfortunate that there are so many boat rental places and other tourist traps around the main boardwalk, it's almost impossible to get a good photo of the bridge that doesn't have a random flag or sign somewhere in the back.Certainly looked like the place will be very busy in the summer months.

Andy L — Google review

Lots of history. Cute shops, food. Took boat tour of copper canyon which was really informative. Love this area. Beautiful vacation destination

Kim J — Google review

You can take a nice walk along the bridge. The English village, the restaurants and small stores were especially great. You can also hire boats here and water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to do. Don't forget to take the ferry, roundtrip 4 dollars for 1 hour, kids 2 years and younger are free. Nearby there are some great parks and a museum. The place is ideal for a short trip.

Angelique H — Google review

Beautiful waterfront district with plenty of nearby hotels and lots of nightlife decorated hy historical beauty. Perfect place to come get some food during the off season when it's not spring break full of college kids.

Justin B — Google review

Lake Havasu was gorgeous!! It felt like I stepped into another world. The atmosphere was cozy, comfortable, and very inviting. Beautiful views no matter where you turned. I visited during December, so the water wasn't as active as I'm sure it is during the summer months, but enjoyable and beautiful nonetheless.

Ash B — Google review

This place is so good. I came here during the holidays and I think it was the perfect time. I took a long walk on the bridge and around the visitor center and the beach. It was lovely. There were holiday decorations and I got a bunch of lovely pictures. The water cooled my mind. It wasn't crowded, it was peaceful and nice. Most of the restaurants and stores were closed for holidays.

SUPRITHA B — Google review

Quaint shopping area. Souvenirs and restaurants by the water. The phone booths are a nice touch. The walkway by the water is very nice. Only had one ride encounter with a shop owner being too pushy selling hats. “Have fun at the dermatologist “.

Jennifer T — Google review

What a fascinating place! We decided to stop here along a road trip and found this to be much more interesting than we anticipated.We had ish there had been more “touristy” shops and stuff to do, but it was still a lot of fun to see the actual London Bridge.We didn’t see any signage that explained the history of the bridge or why it was moved to this place or what it took to move it and that was a little disappointing, but overall it was a nice 20 minute stop along our way.

The Don Laughlin Classic Car Museum is a place where car enthusiasts can admire some of the rarest and most distinctive automobiles in the world. From classic cars to trucks and motorcycles, this museum has something for everyone. The small gift shop is also a great place to pick up souvenirs for friends or family.

Very very cool to see.. beautiful cars, a must see if you love classic cars..

Phenomenal cars on display. I fancy myself a car person, but he had cars in there that I have never even heard of. Teared up a little reading the 911 Memorial Car. Fell in love all over again seeing the Corvette's from the 60's. Just so many beautiful American machines. The staff here were so great. They let you know that you are allowed to take plenty of pictures, the answer all questions you have, and we had a lot, lol

Kristol B — Google review

Entry was free if you have a players card. Also children under 18 get in for free. Otherwise it was $3.50 for entry. Lots of vert beautiful cars on display, some of which were marked for sale. The lady at the gift shop said that for the right price most of them could be purchased. There was also a lot of vintage memorabilia from trophy truck racing to ww2 items. Very clean with outstanding staff eager to talk to you about these awesome cars. Highly recommend especially if you have or get a players card which is also free.

If you love classic vehicles be sure to check this out. Interesting facts about each vehicle including when it was restored. Not a huge museum but enough to take up 30 minutes or more.

We had the best time. the hotel sent us 3 days free room , 2 Buffets, 2 Prime Rib Room Dinners. You have to pay 20.00 a day resort fees and they hold 100. 00 deposit you get back after you leave. So worth it. The Prime Rib Room is Awesome Prime Rib was so tender you could cut it with your fork. I had catch of the day fish . Awesome!!! Salad bar and desert bar included.

Truly a 3-star hotel. We stayed in Executive Suite - the most expensive room in this hotel. The room itself is pretty big but that’s the only thing that is good. Everything in the room is very outdated. Air vents are dirty and looks like there is mold on them. Bottom part of the furniture has a thick layer of dust. Every morning we got a back pain from the mattress and rock hard pillows. Couldn’t sleep half of the night. The sound insulation between the room is very poor. Every morning at 6am I could hear our neighbors talk in their room. Room has a balcony that has no chairs to sit on - useless. For 2 people we got 1 small soap bar and 1 small body lotion tube. No shampoo and no toothpaste. That’s in Executive Suite, rates are double compare to a regular room.I gave it a 3 star and not 1 star because I realize it’s a 3-Star hotel and I can’t expect a 5 star service. But with few minor improvements they can make this hotel so much better.

Gene T — Google review

A car museum like no other. This is the place to be if you enjoy looking at antique cars. The large collection of these vehicles is unbeatable given how rare some of them are. Entrance admission at the museum is free for anyone under the age of 18, and adults (18+) if they have a player's card. Otherwise, it is only three dollars per adult. Reservations are not needed, as staff work very quickly to get people in. The museum is quite large and takes about half an hour to an hour to see all the cars they have on display. Overall, highly recommend visiting.

Awesome Collection from various people in and around The State! It is located on the 3rd floor of the west tower. Great View of the river. If you have a players card entrance is free. If no players card entrance is $5!Some cars they have1966 Ford Mustang Mach 1Ford-T100Delorean

MARVIN S — Google review

Love this place. I visit every time I go back to Laughlin and I always try to stay at the Riverside - it’s the OG spot for sure. Sometimes the cars change, but a lot of the old ones are still there. My fav is always the Delorean (pictured), and I think the family of Don Laughlin (RIP) has done a good job keeping this place looking nice. I have so many memories of my parents taking me there in the 1980s. Love this place.

Pete M — Google review

Great place to spend some time and take a few trips down memory lane. Many memorials and shadow boxes celebrating places and organizations from around the world. Kids are free and it's only $3 for adult admission.

There are two separate car exhibits at this casino. May the odds be ever in your favor if you’re meeting up there. Both are 5 star so you won’t be disappointed. The gift shops fun with lots of options. There are lots to look at besides the cars if the cars are not your favorite. It’s definitely a well rounded place. Well organized, clean bathrooms in the gift shop area, quiet area, friendly staff. It’s a nice place for a date or just to get away from the casino crowd for a bit. Reasonable cost, no line, amazing collection!

Museums

History museum

The Arizona Route 66 Museum, located in the former Kingman Powerhouse museum and visitor center complex, offers a fascinating journey through the history of the iconic highway. Visitors can explore exhibits featuring vintage cars, dioramas, and a movie that narrates the story of Route 66 from its origins as an indigenous trade route to its heyday as a symbol of Main Street America in the 1950s.

Make sure to take cash when visiting the museum section. We were fortunate enough to have had a host let us be his guest. The museum is informative, interesting and shows some great history of the area, route 66 and the time.Great little gift shops. If you collect stretch pennies they have the penny holder and a penny holder journal.If your traveling for the route 66 experience get your stamp and passport ($10 approx) to add a fun little treasure to your trip.

Came here from Vegas to check this place out to get out of town. For the price to get in it is a pretty cool little place. I would recommend coming early to spend the day here so you could visit all the museums that are close by.

In the Morning of April 12, 2018, we found ourselves on the old Route 66 in Kingman Arizona. This historic community displayed a variety of art along the main strip which gave it more character and attraction. This was a great place to visit as we made our way north.

If you don’t stop here and visit, you have no idea what you’re missing!!! Family, fun, photos, adventure and historical views as well as memorabilia. Route 66 is considered the most historical iconic memories that you could ever have in the whole entire United States! Doll, who can relate will understand the full meaning of 🇺🇸… do not hesitate to ask the staff for a guy tour book or a map to enjoy all the sites and history behind the wonderful travels of the United States of America!!!

This museum is part of a set of three that'll cost you a whopping $4! Yep, $4 for all three. :-)You'll learn a lot of history about route 66 here that is not generally passed on in common folklore. So it's quite an interesting spot to visit.

John P — Google review

Neat museum with Willie Nelson's golf cart and the 480th Tesla produced. It is one of three museums in Kingman Arizona that you buy one $10 ticket and get all three museums. The staff at all three were well educated, friendly, and knowledgeable.

This was a nice pit stop on the way from Flagstaff to Vegas. Very inexpensive museum. The entire Route 66 museum, electric car display, and history film should take an hour to two hours to go through if reading all of the information. Two gift shops also attached. Great photos and relics to share a piece of country’s past.

Very fun little store great photo opportunities outside, there is a paid part of the museum but we didn't have enough time so we didn't walk through it there is plenty to do for free. Lots of good souvenirs, kids got candy, Mom and Dad were able to get soda and water. There's a picture photo booth in the back there is also restrooms.

An excellent museum about electric cars with exhibits ranging from the history to the present day. The various components of the electric vehicle from the past are nicely exhibited and are a great experience. The museum is hosted in the Visitor Center which is accessible ♿ and also has a reserved accessible parking.

$10 for adult to enter, it’s worth the drive to here because interesting historical information about Route 66 and the cars.

Veronica — Google review

Great little museum packed with interesting history about famed Route 66. Housed inside a historic power station building from the early 1900s, it's on the second floor above the local visitor center. Admission is cheap at 10 bucks and that also gets you entry into two other local attractions – the Mohave Museum that features the regional history and environment, and the historic Bonelli House, also from the early 1900s.The Route 66 Museum itself has plenty of information about the legendary road including stories of the early explorers and settlers that initially passed through the region. There are fascinating displays talking about and recreating the wagons and “Prairie Schooners” used in those days, then more exhibits about the early days of automobile travel on dirt roads before Route 66 actually came to be. Of course it then goes on to the heyday of Route 66 with some recreations of vintage storefronts and finally the decline of the “Mother Road” as the highway system takes hold. That decline is highlighted by a documentary that plays in the mini-theater downstairs on the way to the Electric Vehicle Museum.The EV Museum is part of the standard admission fee and was an interesting bonus – it was actually the main reason I wanted to check out this place having recently bought an electric car myself. The museum consists of one large hall containing a variety of electric vehicles ranging from neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) - good only for short urban hops - to fully road-legal EVs like a Tesla Roadster and converted Porsche 911, to one-off race vehicles. It's not a comprehensive overview of EV history by any means but fascinating nonetheless and well worth the low price of admission. The local Tesla Supercharger station happens to be located beside the museum building and there's a free level 2 charger for non-Tesla EV drivers too on the opposite side, just in case you drove here in an electric vehicle yourself.The visitor center has a great gift shop for Arizona souvenirs and beside it there's another gift shop specifically for the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona with plenty of merchandise to choose from.Outside in the parking lot is a great photo opportunity with a large Route 66 sign you can drive your car or motorcycle through.All in all, a wonderful little stop for any road trip through Kingman, especially for anyone interested in the old Route 66.

Spent time looking around the museum. Best part was the history, photos and memorabilia of the dust bowl years. Could not imagine driving route 66, through the desert of AZ, in the open vehicles and trucks while heading to California.

Melissa L — Google review

A nice museum and gift shop. We spent a good amount of time there. First in the Route 66 section. Then downstairs in the electric car museum. Although most of the cars were built out of internal combustion engine vehicles. But it was still interesting to see. You of course, exit through a gift shop. It was a nice museum worth the time to stop and check out.

Hackberry General StoreRoute 66 Hackberry, ArizonaJune 25, 2023On this road trip, we stopped at one of our favorite places to visit. We always stop here to take photos and get some rest. Of course we always buy souvenirs when we visit. We have been visiting the general store for a while. In fact, I remember the corvette that used to be parked in front of the store. The day we visited Ruben H. Rodarte, the owner of Valentine Station , was working. It's always great to see and speak with him. He is just a great guy. He told us that the store has been very busy, especially from foreign tourists. Of course, I also wanted to see Charlie the cat. He was asleep on the couch, so I just left him alone. It eventually slowed down, and I was able to take some photos of the General Stores.This is such a unique stop on Route 66 Arizona. It's great to browse through the store. They sell great souvenirs, and we just bought their new color changing coffee cups. The staff members are all great and fun to speak with.

One of our favorite stops along Route 66. Ruben is so cool and fun to talk with--he had plenty of great advice for us! The shop is a great mix of memorabilia and very interesting Route 66 souvenirs. The men's rest room alone is worth a stop. Please buy something when you stop to help Ruben keep this going!

Neat little place on Route 66, had a portly cat hanging out there (Charlie? Harley?) that enjoyed scritches. Very nice lady working there (owner?), super friendly and fun to chat with. Cool memorabilia around, and interesting stuff to by related to Route 66. Talked myself into, out of, and back into a cool bottle opener for my garage. The old gas pumps never get old, love this place!

Nestled along the historic stretch of Route 66, just east of Kingman, Arizona, lies a treasure trove of nostalgia and Americana – the Hackberry General Store.

Bridge

Sights & Landmarks

The Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as Hoover Dam Bridge, is a remarkable engineering feat spanning the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The four-lane highway bridge stretches 1,500 feet long and stands at an impressive height of 890 feet above the river. It boasts of the world's tallest concrete columns and holds the title for being the highest and longest arched concrete bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

If you're in the area, be sure and check out the Hoover dam. It was very fun walking across the large bridge and taking photos of the edge. There's a short set of steps that will take you up to the bridge. I counted them and it was 69 steps. They even have ramps. If you can't do the steps. Neat place to go see. Very peaceful and wonderful views.

Wow! I have been wanting to see this bridge and view since I moved away from Arizona many years ago!What an amazing view of Hoover Dam!!!And looking straight down to the Colorado River is a bit frightening!!!Parking is totally free, but you do have quite a few stairs to climb to get to the bridge.There are a lot of influence plaques on the building of the bridge and who it is named after.You can walk all the way across. I just wish there was an Arizona sign to take a picture with. Looks like they wanted to continue the walk, but it is blocked.You can easily add this to your trip without driving the rest of the way to Hoover Dam.When you drive over the bridge, you will not even know you are driving near the dam!

If you want the most absolutely incredible photos of the Hoover Dam then you have got to stop here. It’s free first off so that’s a plus, and it’s a short walk up to the top. Thankfully they have both stairs and ramps to make it earlier to access for everyone. Absolutely breathtaking views for as far as you can see. An absolute must stop if you’re going to check out the dam.

Great vantage point to view Hoover Dam. Just a short 10 minute walk from the parking area to the bridge. Be aware of some wind gusts from passing cars. Don't forget to look for the Nevada and Arizona border marker on the bridge, I missed it!

Nelson J — Google review

I honestly liked walking this bridge more than I did the dam. The sight from up here is magnificent.The walk up is arduous, especially if you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure. I don't recommend the walk up for the physically challenged. If you have kids, be prepared to carry them if they tire easily.They so have ramps for strollers and wheelchairs, it just takes a lot longer than taking the stairs, but still doable. I recommend having someone to help.If you parked at the Hoover dam parking structure, getting to the parking lot of the bridge is not ADA friendly, but still doable.

This bridge has a fantastic view of the Hoover Dam that you can park at the Mike O'Callagan-Pat Tillman Memorial Plaza next to the bridge. Set your GPS to the aforementioned Memorial Plaza and you will have access to the bridge.

This was a fun experience. I'm afraid of heights so I didn't go too far but the view from the bridge was spectacular. If you are visiting the Las Vegas area, add this site to your trip. Be prepared for high winds.

The bridge is hella scary from above but well worth the walk. Free parking down on the lot just have to climb a lot of stairs once up you can walk back and forth bridge as you like enjoy the view and partake in Thai breath taking view

A very worthwhile experience. Great views and somewhat thrilling. The bridge shakes whenever the big rigs are going by. Nice place for pictures and to get a good walk.

Hector B — Google review

Wow ! What a great view you get of the hoover dam from this bridge. Getting to the parking area is easy with good signage. There is only toilet facilities but no refreshments so do make sure to take plenty of liquid with you as there are a lot of steps, alternatively ramps to walk up.Thank goodness there are seats on most levels. It can get extremely hot so don't forget the sun screen. It's a worthwhile trek but not easy if you have difficulty walking. There is plenty of informational signs and interesting plaques to read where you can take a breather along the way. Great photo opportunities here.

We really liked visiting this bridge. The history, the amazing engineering facts 👍 January was perfect. Great weather and not too crowded.

I watched them build this bridge from beginning to end. An absolutely unbelievable feat of Modern Marvel engineering. Took a helicopter ride over it when it was halfway finished. It was just amazing to watch. Finally got to go up there a few years ago and omg! I literally had to hold my cell phone with both hands to keep it from flying off into the incredible winds that come across. Definitely one of the wonders of the world and worth seeing and walking across 👌 🌉 🌁

Built in the 1930s, Hoover Dam is a hydroelectric power plant that provides electricity to residents of Las Vegas and the surrounding area. The dam's creation changed the landscape of the Black Canyon and provided scenic views of Lake Mead. Tours of the dam structure begin at the Hoover Dam Parking Garage & Visitor Center.

What a beautiful location. Wish I had more time but the views are breathtaking! Well cover more ground next time. Paid parking is on the left before the bridge. $10. Free parking is across the dam. I paid for parking since we skipped the visitor center.1-07-2022 Tours are currently closed except for visitor center.

Great detour while in Vegas.The visuals in the area are fabulous. Several areas to view from a handful perspectives. The dam itself is impressive. Even more so when you really dig into the engineering.Super cool experience.

Justin N — Google review

Iconic emblem of the American spirit and engineering ingenuity. A must-see when in the Vegas area.You can easily spend a few hours here at the various lookouts and taking tours. Hadn’t been here in years so this time we saw the multi-level for a few parking garage…great additional. There is also parking along the access road at various points and they’re connected by steps so you can walk your way down to the dam.Highly recommend the visit!

Johnny G — Google review

Absolute marvel of engineering. Definitely worth the drive to go and see it. Upon seeing it and walking across it, you're left to imagine how the people building the dam succeeded in constructing such an incredible piece of history. The visitor's center is worth a stop in as well. Highly recommend this bit of Americana.

My family and I recently embarked on an excursion to the iconic Hoover Dam, and despite some unexpected twists, it was a memorable experience worth recounting.The weather was windy, adding an extra element of adventure to our journey. Despite the gusts, we had a blast exploring the area together. However, we encountered a slight hiccup when we realized, albeit too late, that only service animals are permitted on the premises. Nevertheless, our husky seemed to relish his scenic walk, adding a touch of charm to our visit.We made our way to one of the many lookout options, eager to immerse ourselves in the rich history and breathtaking views that awaited us. Pausing at the lookout, we took a moment to absorb a brief overview of the dam's history, marveling at the sheer magnitude of human ingenuity and hard work that went into its construction.The panoramic vistas stretched before us, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the remarkable feats achieved by those who came before us. From the towering structure of the dam itself to the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, every aspect of the vista was a testament to human perseverance and determination.Despite the minor setback with our furry companion, our visit to Hoover Dam was an unforgettable experience filled with awe-inspiring sights and cherished family moments. It served as a poignant reminder of the importance of both historical preservation and enjoying the simple pleasures of nature's beauty.

It's interesting to see in person. You can purchase one of two different tours to go inside the dam, or you can just walk around outside for free. If you park in the nearby parking garage by the Cafe and gift shop it costs $10.

A must visit, I waited far too long to enjoy this. Tours are good and the whole thing is ran great. Don't go in summer months, the is the same as outside temp. Security check was no big deal and you can still drive across the dam.

Gina B — Google review

A must see! The tour is great! We loved it and the guide was very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Even in the dead of summer, it was hot but manageable. We all like the heat though so it doesn't bother us. Not for the claustrophobic.

Amazing engineering. Nice view from top of the dam and over the bridge (Nevada to Arizona). Roads were amazing. Feel like we’re just floating. Well maintained. Took four years to finish the construction of the dam. Would recommend this place.

Man made architectural wonder!!! Awesome backdrop view of the Grand Canyon. Best time to visit this spot is evening. You can walk on the bridge and feel the awesome breeze.This place has unique experience of time zone change where you can see the time zone difference between Arizona and Nevada borders.

Very impressive to see up close. Visitor center has interesting educational exhibits on how the dam was built. I was a little disappointed that the film in the theater was only for those going on the dam tour; I would have liked to have seen that.Clean restrooms and visitor center is accessible.

I was thoroughly impressed with the construction ! The scale of the structure is awe-inspiring, and the views of the Colorado River are breathtaking. A definite must-see for anyone traveling through the area!" In weekends, parking is bit difficult to check the spot and the parking spot costs 10$

This is one of my favorite random places to visit in the country. I don’t know what it is but the sheer size of this thing is so incredible to see in person. I went on a weekday so it wasn’t very busy which was great. There’s lots of parking nearby or you can drive right on over the dam in your car. Overall I’d most definitely recommend visiting this place, it really is a must see!

AAA landmark in USA. An engineering marvel. Iconic. Great for the family and all tourists and friends. Great for nerds and engineers. Lots of art deco features. A few free parking lots in the Arizona side passing the dam. The cafeteria serves a dam burger.

Hoover dam is one of marvellous modern structures you would see in the world and it was constructed in 1935. You will be astonished after learning more about the dam and its construction, which was a magnificent experience. Definitely recommend taking power plan tour ticket . A guide will accompany you as you explore and provide fascinating details about the dam. It was a great pleasure to tour the power plant and learn about the significance of this magnificent building. The cost of the power plant tour ticket is $15 per person. Near the dam, there is a souvenir shop, cafe, parking garage, and restrooms. Around the dam, there are a number of additional scenic vantage points.

We walked around the free views and exhibits until it was time for our tour. The 1 hour tour was worth it! Our tour guide Dan was great. It was so cool to see them work on one of the turbines. We even got to see the original 1940's exhibit hall. We stopped at the Cafe and got lunch before leaving and that was a dam good burger.

Amazing view and sights! I was surprised that I didn’t see any NCR or Legion forces at the Dam. Mr. House probably drove them out years ago, anyways I would recommend for anyone who likes pretty views and cool history. One thing to note is that it was so hot it would make you wish for a nuclear winter.

I always wanted to visit the Hoover Dam. Loved the visit. It was a super hot day which is expected. We parked in the parking lot on the other side of the dam and walked across the dam. It was a great experience. Please enjoy the pictures.Definitely recommend folks to visit this dam.

Praneet R — Google review

This was my first time going there and it was very exciting. The area is well taken care of and can accommodate large number of visitors very efficiently. There is free parking up the hill on the Arizona side but a bit longer walk. Otherwise you will have to pay $10 to park. We did not do any of the tours just walked around and enjoyed all the free views. Visiting the bridge first I think is better. After the dam we were tired. Bring lots of water with you. Two adults and two children under twelve, decimated 6 bottles of water and we ended up getting dehydrated after 45 minutes. The views are spectacular and the walk a very mice one. My favorite site out west by far so far. It is worth the time. Visit the lake view last.

I held my birthday by bringing a cake on this location and blowing the candle on top of the dam. Such a wonderful experience with my family who are accompanying me on a road trip to Utah for our vacation. This is my first time celebrating my birthday on the road and this experience is memorable.

Did the $30 hour long tour of the powerhouse and dam. The tour is very simple, straight forward and dumbed down enough that the average 6th grader would appreciate it. The more questions you ask the more technical information you can get. It is worth the time and money to visit such an essential piece of American history.

Dave W — Google review

If you love nature, you'd love these views. You can spend goes walkingthe trails here. Very peaceful and calming. Lots of people come here to visit, so be prepared to enjoy the views with others(lol).There was no entry fee, but parking was $20, and because of the overwhelming amount of people parking can be a lot of riding around to get a spot. The restrooms were clean and the staff was nice and helpful. There are tons of photo opportunities, so take full advantage of that. They offer guided tours, so if you're into that, you can get tickets online.There are so many great things to say about this place, but seeing is believing. If you get the opportunity to go, go, you'll love it!There's a cafe, gift shop,and info center there as well.

Jaz U — Google review

This is my third time visiting and a first for my kids. It’s still just as magnificent and grand to see as the first time. It does cost $10 to park, but well worth it to see the views and read the history of the Dam. You can do tours and recommend purchasing tickets in advance. They have a gift shop and food as well.

Amy ( — Google review

Stopped here on our trip from Phoenix to Vegas. Definitely worth seeing. Wouldn i visit multiple times? Probably not. The bridge lookout was my favorite. The wind was so intense it made it really fun. The water is super blue and that was really awesome to see.I think it's worth seeing atleast once. The ride up the mountains into the dam was really breath taking. We did not do a tour. We just walked around outside and stopped at a bunch of the lookouts. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Ashley D — Google review

Decided to come here early and I’m so glad I did. I definitely missed the crowd. I was going to upgrade to the Dam tour but changed my mind since I still had to head over to the Grand Canyon. The power plant tour was nice but short. They had us watch a mini movie about the making of the Dam which was informative and interesting. Then we were taken down to see the workings of the plant. And that was pretty much it. After that you can explore the grounds and take pictures (you can do this for free without paying for anything). You only pay if you park in the garage and lot 9. All other parking is free but you’d be pretty far from the main area. Those spots are best for picture taking only. I’d definitely recommend. It was well worth the trip.

Hoover Dam is pretty impressive and and a really cool historical site. The dam is huge and a great place to walk around. You will do A LOT of walking here so wear good shoes and use sunscreen. It was not too busy when I went so finding a parking spot was easy. If you are going to be in the area, I recommend stopping here for an hour or two.

The Legendary Hoover Dam. Complete with dam tours, a cafe, gift shop, visitors center, and more; it's a must-see. Standing over 720 ft high, the photos here are spectacular. Go early in the day. The dam picks up around 11 and doesn't slow down. Avoid the crowds by getting there around 9 or 10. Don't pay for parking unless someone in your group needs accommodation. The free parking on the Arizona side is a short walk. The free parking is also a short distance from the dam overlook and has its own gift shop, it's less crowded, and there's even an old pill box (machine gun nest) up there. The views are awesome.The cafe prices are not bad for an attraction. Outside food and drink and prohibited to bring into the dam, but you can always have a private picnic up on the overlook with items you brought if you'd like.Security will look in your car. And so they should. The entire southwest depends on the dams operations.Check out the memorial bridge while you're there to get great photos of the face of the dam. It's a few stairs to get up there, but they're not bad, and there are also handicapped accessible ramps. You can also check out the Lake Mead overlook on your way out, which is stunning.Tours for the power plant are $15, and the more intensive tour is $30 when available. The tours include a 10-minute video in their theater and a few elevator rides with other people on your tour. They will pack those elevators tight with people, but the elevator ride is only 70 seconds.Restrooms are plentiful.You can walk on top of the dam, take photos of the outside, and more for free. You only need to buy a ticket if you're going on a tour. There is a lot to see for free. Side note: we looked for the allspark and never found it.Overall, the dam and the memorial bridge are truly a marvel and a must-see. It's budget friendly and jaw-dropping. Enjoy..

Great DAM experience. You’re able to park in many locations to see the dam. A bit of a walk but good exercise. Lots of people there but still able to get photographs and videos.Lots of history and facts about the dam posted. Security was nice and helpful. Will be visiting again someday!

Lili — Google review

What a beautiful site to behold! What's also a wonderful feat of engineering besides the Hoover Dam is the interstate bridge that hasn't been open for too long that helps alleviate all the traffic the Hoover Dam once took. Unfortunately you can't drive the complete route anymore since it's blocked off on the Arizona side as well as crossing the interstate bridge. Besides those slight let downs, this place is absolutely beautiful, IT'S FREE! unlike the Grand Canyon. You have to get inspected by park Rangers first (department of the interior) and you'll be able to drive in and explore this beautiful masterpiece. This place is being revamped with many things under construction for more tourists to explore in the future. They do have a gift shop on the Arizona side as well. Highly recommend binoculars too. Something you have to just see. It is a miracle of modern engineering.

Iconic landmark to visit, and you can walk across the dam, view it from the bridge, or pay to take a tour from the inside. Can get great views/pics from the bridge in particular.

The Hoover Dam is an absolute must-see! From the moment you lay eyes on this iconic marvel, you're immediately captivated by its sheer size and beauty. The guided tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and engineering behind this incredible structure. Walking along the top of the dam, with the Colorado River below, is a breathtaking experience that will stay with you forever. The views are simply spectacular, and the sense of awe and wonder is palpable. Whether you're a history buff, an engineering enthusiast, or just someone looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Hoover Dam delivers on every level. A true masterpiece of human achievement!

EL_CABE — Google review

It was an amazing experience to be inside such a well-known monument! We went on a tour within the dam and saw both the original construction and significant features of the finished project. The incredible engineering that went into this dam is truly put into perspective when you see it in person. This is one of those things you just have to see once, therefore I strongly advise you to see it in person. Warning: there are a lot of dam jokes made by the guides.

Kyle — Google review

The $30 tour was a 2.5 hour wait so we did the $15 tour. We arrived at 9:00 am. When we left, the parking was full and they were turning people away so it’s best to get there early and get there first thing if you want to go on the $30 tour with no wait. They could sure use an update on the video. Seems like it’s about 50 years old.

Just on a random drive to Vegas and we randomly had time to drive to this historical place to finally see. And yeah it was chill driving to and also driving on this road to the Hoover Dam. If we have more time next time we'll definitely walk it also. Great times tho ✌️

The theater production Kà by Cirque du Soleil offers an all new gravity-defying experience for audiences. The moving stage is a battleground where acrobatic stunts leave people in awe. Las Vegas is home to FIVE Cirque du Soleil productions, each with its own unique setting and style of performing arts. This is the perfect venue to entertain children and adults alike!

I'm not really into this stuff but man was it awesome! We sat in the third row and were in the thick of the action. It was a "coming of age story" with tons of action and amazing stunts. I went in with a decent buzz from tropical drinks and I was absolutely zooted from the 2 gram j we burned before going in. This made it so much more intense and I recommend maybe doing mushrooms before you go.

This show is truly a masterpiece, and put together extremely well… me and my friend were on the edge about going to the show, with us being younger guys we weren’t sure if we would like it… we were both thoroughly impressed! The stage and theatre themselves are a show… all of the moving aspects of the stage make this show that much better! Highly recommend!

Shane B — Google review

KA is by far one of the best and most elaborate of the Cirque du Soleil shows. Even the stage is a star and comes alive, moving in ways you never thought a stage could move. The costumes, the cast, the music, the giant theater, everything is done so well, you have to see this more than once. And, yes, there are real flaming arrows being shot thru the theater. Consider doing the VIP Royal Experience for a unique, backstage, behind-the-scenes tour and meet members of the cast. Pricey, but worth it.

William B — Google review

Amazing! After seeing it I don't even know how you'd explain that experience to someone. The theatre and stage alone are an incredible piece of engineering. And the performance is jaw dropping. The skill of the performers is just amazing. I don't know how that show isn't sold out every night. We had seats in the second row which is almost too close. You will end up have to look up and behind you as they fly through the air, not that it was a bad seat or anything just a heads up.

Ryan G — Google review

Incredible. The artistry was insane. Such a beautiful show with a cast that was BEYOND talented. It was acrobatics, aerial, juggling, martial arts, comedy, acting, live singing, and so much more. If you have a chance to go see this show - you must. Also, the stage moves a full 360 degrees so it truly is like nothing you have seen before.A suggestion, we sat front row and it was almost too close, I would suggest something in the middle of the theatre so you can see and experience the whole spectacle without looking around.

I love Cirque’s shows. I think they are the best out there. KA is one of their best shows. You can get the theme of KA from google search but I want to highlight some points.Some people say KA is not good and they highlight O as a comparison. Well, O is more abstract and the perception of the show can vary. KA focuses more on a linear story that’s much simpler to understand. O is a show that you can watch multiple times and get different perceptions. KA offers some brilliant lighting, stage movements and performances that are unparalleled.

Omae S — Google review

I believe that KA is the best of the Cirque du Soleil shows. The theater in itself is absolutely breathtaking. There are no super high up seats unlike some of the other theaters, so technically there is no bad seat. We sat in row R and for the price, we were pleased with our seat location. This show is unique because the actual stage moves in ways that seem impossible. There is a storyline that you can easily follow and is about a pair of twins. We watched O last year and the whole show was a bit confusing and all over the place. We also sat in the balcony section for that specific show and I would not recommend that seating location.The costumes and performers were outstanding. The performers come off stage during certain parts of the show. Some even hang from above you doing aerial type acts. We took our 11 year old and she loved it. As a parent, I would recommend for probably age 8 and up.

An incredible show. I’ve seen a few Cirque du Soleil shows but this is on a different level. The moving stage (tatami) is amazing and seeing the performers utilize it was just awe inspiring. It’s definitely worth watching and more than suitable for young kids too!

Kwon — Google review

KA by Cirque du Soleil has been my favorite Cirque show and I’ve seen a handful of them, well it’s tied for first with Iris (not performed anymore). I could go on and on about KA. They spent $165 million to create this show and I’m impressed!! I was on the edge of my seat the whole show, and each seat has a built-in speaker! The rotating platform and acrobatics were top notch. I want a backstage tour of this stage in MGM Grand as the actors fall what appears to be 30 feet! I’m trying to figure out when I can go to Vegas again just for KA!!

Jake H — Google review

While I haven't seen all of the Cirque shows out there, I believe this had the most expansive theatre design. From industrial looking metal towers, the cast are able to be in many different areas. The main story happens on-stage, but keep your eyes peeled for characters elsewhere! Really enjoyed this performance!

April S — Google review

Must watch it was on my watch list from very long time. Pure entertainment just do yourself a favour please do some research about the story line or else you can feel a little lost but all in all stupendous performance by all the artist hats off. If you like acrobatic stuff then this is for you.

???? — Google review

Great Cirque du Soleil show. You are not allowed to take any pictures or videos once the show starts and they are pretty strict about it for the safety of the performers so I would deduct a star but since it is a live show and they do various stunts I can understand why they don't allow pictures or videos. I recommend sitting in section 102 for the best view or in the 100s section for the most part so you can see everything closer. The performers do go into the audience in both aisles right and left of section 102. I purchased buy one get one free tickets on the MyVegas app, and it was still about $200 for two people ($100 each). I would not pay regular price, especially to sit on the 100s section, but that is my personal choice and opinion, and yes I am frugal and always looking for a deal when I am in Vegas. Performers do not talk in English during the show, more like some sort of gibberish/noise, so you have to pay attention to body language and what is going on to fully understand and keep up with the story. During transitions of the stage, the show is kinda boring. I don't think I would go to this show again, but I would go to other Cirque du Soleil shows so I can compare in the future. Solid 4 stars but definitely room for improvement, especially during scene transitions because it's just too boring.

Amber V — Google review

The worst show ever, so boring and long. Very hard to follow the plot. The fake fighting parts are monotonous and will put you to sleep after the first 10 minutes. Simply a waste of time and money. Very disappointed. Only about 15 minutes of the show is interesting and worth attention - some acrobatic tricks, suits, makeup, lights, fireworks. Such a great stage and interior atmosphere is wasted for this. I think they should forget about this story and start over from scratch. Not sure why they call this cirque du Soleil, maybe if they presented it like a theatre play it would be more honest. Not recommend

Reservations, anyone! Indeed, if you want to go and see a show, this is the one to see. It is filled with moments of suspense and comedy and wonder with sprinkles of aerodynamics and pyrotechnics. It's definitely something for everyone. There should be NO CELL PHONE ACTIVITY when the show starts. They are prompt with timing, so make sure you get there on time or best if you make it there early to get seated and situated. You're going to love the show.-@According2teau 👽🦄

First time at a Cirque show, and MAN THIS WAS AMAZING!Such a beautiful experience. The ambiance, stage movement, costumes, music, lighting, performance - everything!People moving everywhere from everywhere doing seemingly impossible stunts - just so good!No words were said at all, by the setup and artists expressed it all.Not too expensive a show either compared to some others, but this is definitely worth it! I could recommend it more.A long show, but we didn't realize how fast the time passed.

Attending KA by Cirque du Soleil🎭 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was an absolute thrill! From start to finish, the show exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The combination of breathtaking acrobatics, captivating storytelling, and stunning visuals kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire performance.What truly impressed me was the sheer creativity and artistry displayed by the talented performers. Each act was executed with precision and passion, leaving me in awe of their incredible skills. The show had an undeniable energy and drive that kept me engaged from the moment it began.The newly renovated theater provided a comfortable and immersive experience, and I was pleasantly surprised by the innovative addition of speakers in the seats, which enhanced the audio experience significantly ✨🎶.Overall, KA by Cirque du Soleil is a must-see for anyone visiting Las Vegas. It's a mesmerizing journey that will leave you spellbound and wanting more. Don't miss out on the opportunity to witness this extraordinary spectacle firsthand!

Must say it was a good show. Enjoyed it as the performance was amazing.Felt it slightly long and got monotonous towards the end. However overall it was a thrilling experience.Not allowed to take pictures at all once the show begins. No food or drinks allowed once the show starts so ensure your carrying something to munch before hand.Prices of the tickets varies so keep a lookout at different website for best front row seats and the visibility is the best .

This show was not originally planned but we heard good things about it and decided to go. Great decision! The entire production keeps you memorized from the start. There is action coming from every direction and the stage basically encompasses the whole theater. I heard people say that they didn't get the story line. Read the overview before you see the show. If you pay more attention to all of the performers and forget to pay attention to the story, I guess you could get confused. For those that don't follow the story lines, don't worry. You will still be completely entertained! For those that care about story lines, read the overview. No one should walk away from this disappointed!

Absolutely amazing show! The performers are so skilled, and the special effects and acrobatics are unbelievable.If you're in Las Vegas, this is a must-attend event!

I've been to some other Cirque du Soleil shows but really enjoyed it this one. There seem to be more of a storyline with this show than some of the others. The show had a feel of Genghis Khan meets Mad Max. The action scenes in acrobatics were very impressive and the stagecraft was amazing.

I have seen this show twice, and both times I have been amazed. The amount of work that goes into a show of this nature is underrated. KA has a captivating story, leaving you wanting more. I would highly recommend seeing this show. I have yet to be disappointed with a Cirque show. Always worth the money.

Great show. I see a huge Asian influence. I loved how some of the characters interacted and popped up with in the audience. So it felt much more immersive. Also the stage was truly amazing it was a character in itself.

The High Roller is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world and offers stunning city views. It can hold up to 40 people and is open to the public.

We had an amazing happy hour on the High Roller and I would absolutely recommend this experience! It’s a unique and fun way to see all of Vegas. Though I’m sure seeing it at night would be marvellous, we really didn’t have to wait long to get on during the day. We bought tickets in advance and had an amazing time.Special thank you to Cheryl, who was an amazing, knowledgeable and fun bartender! You made our experience worthwhile!

Kelly S — Google review

This was fun. Slow and steady. It was fully worth the experience. Sometimes you just have to grab your parents and pull them into the one with the bar in it. They didn't have a clue that I last minute upgraded. They had plenty fun in the end. Bartender was hilarious! View was spectacular. Drinks were strong!

Branden F — Google review

It's an amazing experience to view the Vegas strip from top and the roller is second highest in the world. Plus it has got a perfect view of the sphere too.You can take great pictures and it moves really very slowly, u won't even feel it. And they don't fill too many people in one cabin, which is the best part. 10-15 people per cabin and there is ample room inside it for sitting or roaming.You can take pictures from every angle.Wheelchair friendly too.The day time ticket is cheaper than the night one.

High Roller may not look big and tall due to the vast spread and scale of the hotels and other structures in Vegas. However, this is indeed the largest operational Ferris wheel in the world (Eye of Dubai is broken).Once you start getting closer to the structure, you begin to understand the sheer size and scale of what you are about to board.Each pod is a "room" and will fit a group of 20 comfortably. It's super fun to take your entire team and get a dedicated pod. The ride is gentle and certainly not a thrill ride but the views are absolutely mesmerizing. Make sure to visit after 6pm so that you can see the sunset in the horizon. I guess the golden time is the lights on the Strip with the sun setting. Again, there's nothing like it from a view perspective.High Roller is a great addition to Vegas. If you're here for the first time, must see.

Wook C — Google review

There was a very long queue but it moved really fast. I had to eat my meal because I was told outside food is not permitted. Overall, I enjoyed the ride. It gave me beautiful views of the city. I also love the fact that it moves slowly.

Chinonso U — Google review

Definitely get your tickets in advance online, if you want to go at night on weekends or holidays. It's $34.75 for an adult at night. Show ID for LOCALS DISCOUNT - $3 off! The view at the top is beautiful and worth the wait. You won't be disappointed. One of the best ways to see the city of lights. The spheres are handicap accessible and air conditioned with limited bench seating inside. The ride is 30 minutes and goes up over 500 feet in the air. If you're afraid of heights, don't go on it. If you book a sphere with a bar in it, there are no bathrooms in any of them; so make sure you're good at holding your alcohol! 😜

Wow, this was an awesome experience! It's not until you get right up to these "pods" that you realize the sheer size of this ride. At 550 feet, it is the highest ride in Vegas, and one the whole family can enjoy together. It offers a slow and gentle ride, lasting about 30 minutes, and excellent views of the city. We happened to go in the afternoon, and there was no crowd and only 8 of us in the pods together, so we were free to move around from one side to another without a problem. We also had someone in a wheelchair with us who was accommodated with no problem at all. Nighttime is when it's really in demand, so be prepared for long lines and crowded pods! It also costs less during the day too!If you found this review helpful, please let me know by tapping the thumbs up. Thanks!

The high roller was one of our favourite attractions in Vegas. Amazing views of the strip and surrounding areas. We went for the happy half hour. Bar service was brilliant, 4 drinks in 30 mins, could have had more too. Very well priced. It was also quiet and air conditioned in the middle of the day. Would recommend.

David A — Google review

Loved the view. Worth the ticket 1/2 hr ride, no worries it was so smooth even in a windy night. We got the booze tickets.... the pod that had a bar all you can drink (responsibly) in it. For the experience, it was a great way to start our night off on the strip.

R C — Google review

We did this our first night in Vegas and had such a blast! We had a discount coupon so we opted to do the Happy Half Hour pod which has an open bar. I highly recommend that option b/c it was so much fun. The bartender was really engaging, entertaining and he took a fantastic picture of us. With drinks going for about $20 each on the strip, we definitely drank more than the cost of our tickets at the open bar. The night views of the strip were stunning, especially the sphere. I highly recommend this attraction as it was easily one of our favorite things we did.

Betty H — Google review

We have visited the High Roller on both of our last 2 visits, doing the bar car both times. While pricey to do, we have felt it was worth it for the views you get at night - it is an experience. The bartenders and staff are very nice, and quick and whipping up mixed drinks and passing out beers. Any drinks you get, you take with you when you go and most of our group always leaves with 2 full drinks. I recommend doing it at least once.

Heather T — Google review

The High Roller is presenting the opportunity to see the strip and the surrounding landscape at the same time. Also my wife is afraid of heights, she enjoyed the ride very much. The cabin is not swinging or moving at all except in a circle. The pictures we took turned out nicely. If you buy your tickets on Grout, you can save a little cash.

Jan-Arndt P — Google review

Breathtaking views! It was soooooo worth it. Went in the middle of the day and there was no wait and we shared a pod with only about 5 other people so there was plenty of room to walk around and get views of everything. A must if you are in Vegas!

Tammy Y — Google review

This was definitely a beautiful experience to overlook Las Vegas. We went during the day and the view was amazing! I’m afraid of heights and this was not uncomfortable for me at all. The speed is not too fast where it’s uncomfortable. They play fun facts during your ride and you can choose to sit or stand.

Monica J — Google review

The longest attraction in Las Vegas 30 minutes long. And the view of the city is awesome. I have Road the Ferris wheel in the daytime, and at night. In my personal opinion, the night time is the best. A couple things that they do not tell you the first one is it cost more to ride the Ferris wheel at night? They also have a pod with a full bar that cost extra that you can ride in . And All the pod holds about 15 to 25 people believe it or not. On a busy day they will pack you in like sardines. If you are a Caesars Rewards, member, you can’t get a voucher printed out at the any Caesars casino for a half off ticket. And the most important thing they do not tell you how RUDE their employees are.

Chris W — Google review

It was such a great experience to see the strip & all of Las Vegas from 550 ft in the air! What a way to start off your visit with this spectacular adventure! Love the sights during the night & all its beautiful, bright colors. In my opinion, it just enlightens the experience. It's located near so many restaurants, shops, and casinos. There is so much nightlife. If you want to face your fear, this is one way to go. Enjoy!

Mati B — Google review

The high roller reaches the highest height of the Strip so we can overview the whole city of 356 degrees. The whole run was steady so be ease for those who are afraid of heights.The night ride is more expensive than day ride because the view is better. For drinkers, don’t miss the happy half hour which serves drinks during the whole ride.Overall the ride is worthwhile!

Annie T — Google review

Cool views but not very long not worth the price in my opinion. I went for free so it was fine in that sense. However at almost $40 per person to ride and $40 to park its not a very economical activity. It's a 30 minute activity.

Chanel J — Google review

Fantastic views of Vegas at night. Bartender was very friendly. Drinks were good.Negatives: the wait in line and the couple people who lacked any knowledge of the term considerate or what 'indoor voice' means...especially in a small globe with 10 or so of your closest...strangers.Not something I would do again unless I reserved the whole car...or was allowed to use duct tape at will.

Kenneth H — Google review

Highly recommend going up slightly before sunset. You can see the entire metro area and end up with all the glorious lights along the Strip! And you may catch a unique view of the fountains at Bellagio if you time it right.The photos are from 2 different recent trips...

Mike C — Google review

Would've loved to have our own cart since it was not a crowd at all. We were forced to join another party. There was not enough room to easily move about and take pictures without getting in someone's way or having them in your photos. I can understand if it was crowded but there was literally cars that were empty so why not allow parties to have their own car? Other than that, views were amazing and the ride was smooth.

R B — Google review

You know when you’re a kid and you’re told not to stand up on a Ferris wheel…well, the kid in me was excited to break all the rules, and stand up in this enormous Ferris wheel!The nighttime views of Las Vegas are a lot nicer than I thought that would be. The light pollution really optimizes one’s ability to soak up the sights. You can take in the Bellagio fountains on one side, and the newly-opened sphere on the other side.It really did take 30min to go around, so it’s like $1/min. I feel like I used to pay more for a long-distance phone call, so I feel like the High Roller is worth the money.

Robyn D — Google review

Pretty cool experience! Tickets are little bit pricey, but not too bad. We bought our tickets ahead of time, which I definitely recommend. We went during the week in the daytime, and we walked right on. The ride takes around 30 minutes, and the view is amazing. It was a beautiful clear day, so you could see pretty far in every direction. There is also an informational video that plays during the ride, which helps you to know what you’re looking at. I would probably go again sometime at night to check out all the lights, but I really liked being able to see the mountains and surrounding area. Overall good experience.

Aaron E — Google review

Great experience. The bubble was very clean, sanitized and roomy. Only couples allowed for room to move around and see both front and back sides of wheel. Great views of airport, sphere, the strip and mountains.

If you're in Las Vegas and seeking an unforgettable experience, the High Roller is an absolute must-try, and here's why it's worth every penny! At 550 feet, the High Roller is the world's tallest observation wheel, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the Las Vegas skyline. I recently took a ride, and it left me in awe. The spacious, climate-controlled cabins provide a comfortable setting, allowing you to enjoy the scenery in style. What sets the High Roller apart is not just its impressive height, but also the duration of the ride. A half-hour rotation gives you ample time to soak in the iconic landmarks, the vibrant Strip, and the surrounding desert landscape. The city comes alive in a stunning display of lights, especially during the evening rides. Now, let's talk about the price. At $30 per person, it's an absolute steal for the experience you get. Comparable attractions can be much pricier, but the High Roller offers an unbeatable combination of value and thrill. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, providing interesting facts about the city and making the journey even more enjoyable. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, the High Roller is an investment in memories that you won't regret. The views are breathtaking, and the price is a small cost for the priceless memories you'll create. Don't miss out on this towering gem in the heart of Las Vegas!

With three different pricing options (day/night/with open bar) and only a 30 minute revolution, this is an awesome attraction option in Vegas. The view is amazing, especially at night, and the pods are big enough to fit 40 people at one time.We opted for the "Happy Half Hour" and were lucky enough to be grouped with some pretty fun people. The bartender was friendly and entertaining and did a great job keeping up with everyone's drink orders. Although drinks were served in smaller cups, they were made well and made fast.Part of the glowing Las Vegas strip skyline, the High Roller is worth a visit and a great way to start your memorable night out!

Mel B — Google review

4 of us visited on a Friday night for sunset time, so we had to buy the any time ticket, we did not do the drink package. It wasn't to busy waiting, we only waited a few minutes to get into one of the pods and what was awesome is us 4 got one all to ourselves.The half hour went by pretty fast, it doesn't even feel like your moving though. They had a count down once you get to the top which was fun.We specifically wanted to be on for sunset which was were, and it was beautiful!

ELOCIN R — Google review

Best views of the strip by far! Great value! I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance as well as finding out when sunset is and being there at that time. Takes about 30 minutes to go all around. Got some great photos. This is a must see attraction in Vegas!

Chris M — Google review

THIS IS IT. IF YOU PAY FOR NOTHING ELSE IN VEGAS PAY FOR THE HIGH ROLLER. PERIOD.Give a hotel concierge a 10 spot and ask for discount "reserved" tickets, you will save a bunch and ensure you ride at the time you want.To be clear, this is not a "ride", it is a huge vehicle you literally take a 30 min trip inside. The movement and speed is so graceful at time you appear to not be moving. My wife has a fear of heights and had no issues walking around the dome to get pictures from every view possible.

Jerry S — Google review

Alright experience! Does one full loop which is very slow! You see all of Vegas which is cool! If you’re in a rush I’d advise you do it later cause it’s the slowest Ferris wheel I’ve ever been on which is good on the money side cause you get what you paid for!

We did the Happy Half Hour High Roller Experience at night. This was a great time with a friend bar tender and amazing views of the lights at night. We were mostly distracted by the Sphere, but was still a lot of fun. Our pod mates were friendly and it wasn't crowded. We got the souvenir pictures after the ride and had a lot of fun!

Cody W — Google review

Took the high roller ride for a good strip and the sphere view. We did get a very good view of the sphere and the entire ride lasted for 20 to 30 minutes and there was almost no wait time.It gives a city view instead of strip view. We can try it once but what is so disappointing is the price of it. It showed 25$ in google and when we were buying the tickets they said thats the price for youth and all adults above 13yrs above is 45$ on weekends which is ridiculous. I felt its too pricy for the experience that it gives.Not worth for the price. May be 20$ to 25$ is a good price.

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any hotel. This web site will compare thousands of booking websites and typically will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of the most well known in this area. I have been staying here for a long time. If you decide to stay here you for sure will love it I'm sure!Stayed for one night, arrived at 2am. Check in was busy, but workers were working at a good pace. Roxanne was amazing. Treated my friend and I so well, and was very professional and friendly. Our room looked very nice. Highly recommend this hotel. Far enough from the Strip, but not too far.

Arafat H — Google review

Update: They responded to this post asking me to reach out to their customer support, and then never responded to the multiple emails I sent them, so at least they are consistent in their utter lack of customer service. Original Review: Easily the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. My bag was stolen within 5 minutes of entering this hotel. The security team was responsive, but after confirming that they had video of someone stealing it, they said there’s was nothing they could do, and that this was a common occurrence. Headed to my room and found my keys did not work. Had to go back down to security twice to be let in. Room was fine, but had seen better days. Someone started running an industrial vacuum at around 11 PM. Housekeeping unlocked and tried to enter my room several hours before my check out. It’s an extra charge to go up to the top, despite them surprising you with a $45 a night resort fee upon check out. They sent me a dozen automated texts during my two night stay, one of which was for a pool that was closed (no discount off of the resort fee, however). The check in/check out line was like a ride at Disneyland, and in retrospect my guess is they do that intentionally so you don’t have time to wait and contest any charges. I’ll take my chances sleeping on The Strip before I ever stay here again. It’d certainly be cheaper, and likely safer.

We originally had reservations for a standard double queen room. At check-in it was mentioned about an upgrade with fridge, walk-in shower and coffee maker along with a 55” tv for an additional $12 a night. Originally we felt those things were not needed. The standard room was not up to any standards. It smelled the box spring were excessively stained and needed to be replaced. We were not comfortable keeping the room and the upgrade might be worth it. Went back to check-in and now it’s $26 a night since we declined the first time. That’s when I knew I was in a shady hotel. But again the standard room was not inhabitable. We make it to the new upgraded room and it smells awful. There is a fowl order coming from the bathroom. The second upgraded room was not cleaned. After the third room we were tried and settled for the last one. Even though the showers have obviously not been cleaned and one small window. Which in my opinion should be considered a standard room. They con you into these upgrades because they know most people will upgrade. Will I ever stay again not at all. I would’ve been better off spending an additional $200 to stay somewhere else. After all when their done ripping you off it’s equivalent to staying close to everything.P.S The fridge is not working properly

I actually really enjoyed staying here last November. My room was up very high, and when I was sick with a migraine for two days in bed I remember that my bed was very soft and comfortable. The sheets and blankets were nice to wrap up with.I also really enjoyed the café and Starbucks on the first floor, as well as the lookout point. The service at the restaurants was good; however asking anything of housekeeping was treated as though it was out of the question to help guests. Like super basic housekeepers.

Felix P — Google review

I didn't stay in the hotel, we went to top of tour and rode the blast off ride. It costs 35.00 to go to the top of the tower where there is a indoor and out door observation deck. You can purchase food and excellent ice cream. And hang out as long as you want with chairs and sofas to sit on and enjoy the view. It wasn't busy when we went on a Saturday which was nice and the blast off ride was awesome!! It was an additional 5.00 dollars. The casino is the northern most on the strip so you'll need to walk a lot of you wish to explore the strip from here. Free parking just a block away at the Sahara if you want to see the tower but not stay in the hotel.

I will never stay here again for several reasons. We booked (8 months in advance) a non-smoking room with a queen bed. When we checked in, we were informed that only smoking rooms were available unless we paid to "upgrade" to a remodeled non-smoking room. This resulted in paying an extra $91 for a 2-night stay. When I booked the non-smoking queen room, I thought that meant I had one reserved. In the confirmation email, there's a link with terms & conditions...This is where it says, "Bed type, smoking preference, and other requests are noted but are not guaranteed and will be honored on a space-available basis." I didn't see this disclaimer on the website during the booking process. If I would have known that we'd be paying extra at check-in, I would have booked elsewhere (I chose this hotel based on price). The woman at the front desk tried to make us feel better about paying extra, saying that the room had a fridge and a safe...Even though that's standard in the other rooms. "A" for effort, I guess.We must have been the first guests in this room because the plastic wrap was still on the smoke detector, the construction mess wasn't cleaned up (I spent 2 hours cleaning the desk, bathroom counter, shower, etc.), and the sink was clogged. We had maintenance attempt to unclog the sink twice. The neighboring room also had the clog. They were able to partially unclog, but the water was still slow draining. One of the maintenance men said it'll take awhile to unclog due to caulk and other construction remnants working down/out of the drain (not sure why anyone would put that stuff down the drain to begin with...). They were friendly and quick to respond. It sounds like the contractor is the one who caused the clog. But not sure why no one checked the drains and smoke detector, nor cleaned the room, before allowing guests in it. We also didn't have a do-not-disturb sign for our door...We requested one and received it fairly quickly. Towels had black stuff on them (I think from construction). After all of the other calls we made, we just decided to wipe off the stuff on the towels and use them as is (rather than bothering the front desk one more time). It just seems everything was rushed with remodeling these rooms and they weren't truly ready for guests.TL; DR: Deceptive pricing, inconvenient, and dirty rooms.

I was here for two nights and I had a great time. My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The Sports Book is one of the best. Several big screens and comfortable seats. I also enjoyed the breakfast at the Cafe and the show at LA Comedy Club is a good show.

This was great when I entered this tower. I just thought it was going to be some normal hotel when I saw the height of the amazing place. So my family was getting a room to stay in for a few days and for because we were going to California to meet my cousins and I was amazed by the huge place. Sometimes they would serve food and it was great and it was easy to locate where your room was and everything was fun. And trust me, if you take the special elevator to the top floor you will have the best experience of a view EVER! You could even see the Las Vegas sphere from a view! I totally recommend this place to people who are traveling.

Upon arriving I was told the room I had booked was old and outdated and told I should upgrade for a renovated room for an extra $35 a night. I agreed to this. However the room we got did not seem updated. It was so humid, had no exhaust fan in the bathroom (which I believe is against code due to mold reasons), smelled like mold and to make matters worse, their vent system allows other rooms air to come into our room. We had marijuanna smoke billowing in our room in the middle of the night. I had two minors sleeping with us. I was told when I called this morning that I should have called so they could "deodorize" the room. How would that have been helpful in the middle of the night? I requested a refund of even the extra $35 I was charged for the supposed upgraded room and was told again "I should have called". We are checking out today, sending up housekeeping to deodorize our room doesn't help anything now. I'm happy to remove this review if they'd compensate me for this poor experience. To me that would be good customer service and correcting the poor experience.

I'll be honest, it's been a long time since I've been here. I wasn't expecting much. But from check-in with Brandon, I've been amazed. The check-in experience was a breeze and fun.

Awful experience from the front desk. We were placed in a smoking room without being told that was all they had left. Obviously we were annoyed when we got to the room and it reeked of that cigarette smell, which caused my wife to get physically ill after we sat in the room trying to work out an alternative solution due to health concerns. We found another hotel, went downstairs to cancel, and the manager assured us that they had a room opening up, their house keeping staff had just started their shift at 3am, and they'd put in an emergency request and the room would be ready in an hour or so, and they'd call our cells when it was ready. Cool, not worth the hassle of switching for an hour, so we waited.At 7:30am, we hadn't heard back besides a text , so I went down to check on that request and was informed by the first receptionist there was nothing that could be done. We had a room set aside for us, but it'd be 1pm at the earliest and we'd have to be here to move our bags over. Went to a second receptionist, who was actually helpful, and got our time moved up to 11am (still awful but manageable). However, he informed us they have no house keeping currently on site? That seems odd in general... Night shift manager who told us it'd be ready wasn't available, of course.Overall, check in/reception is the first impression we get, and our entire experience has been an awful smell in our room and inconsistent assistance at reception that felt more like another casino game.

It was a standard room that we booked online. When we got there, we were told the standard rooms weren't newly renovated and didn't have refrigerators. We decided to upgrade to a room with a refrigerator. They told us the room was recently renovated, so it looked great. However, there was a weird smell when we walked in. We thought maybe it just needed to be aired out. Next morning, the smell was still there and it was coming from the toilet and sink. We couldn't believe how bad it smelled. My brother and sister-in-law had a room there too, and it reeked of smoke. I don't even want to mention the rust on the outside of the shower. The hotel would have been a no-go if it wasn't near the wedding we were attending. What would a standard room look and smell like if this was the newly upgraded room? The first and last time we'll stay here. But after all i slept good so yeah.

The pool is located on the roof of the hotel, offering views of the beautiful Las Vegas skyline. Guests can choose to swim at night and enjoy the unique Las Vegas night view. The pool area features multiple waterfalls, creating a natural atmosphere that makes us feel as if we were in the great outdoors. There is also a water therapy pool with massage jets and a hot tub to help us relax and relieve muscle fatigue.

Check in was a long wait. Above 20 minutes at 2:00 a.m. Check out was also long. When I tried to just give my keys back I was yelled at by a woman at the front desk. Up until then everyone was very nice. You need a better check out method. I did not appreciate being yelled at. This was extremely rude. If you have no way for guests to easily check out, what do you expect? I did really enjoy the exercise room and the comedy club. They also had great gift shops and a very nice Starbucks. The Starbucks was open 24 hours.

I usually stay mid strip but this hotel was chosen for us by the escape vacation which we originally paid $99 to come back to vegas and stay worry free. I ended up paying Hotel fee, room fee, taxes, and weekend fee. Totaling about $700 when I could have stayed in a better hotel for that price. Also, they did not tell us about some of the hidden fees and when I brought it up to their attention, they just brushed it off and refused to give me a credit. Some of the customers also had the same problem with extra charges as they checked out like us. They really get you when they are standing in the pathway offering you to come back for $99 so don’t do it! Customer service was horrible in this hotel, their plumbing is bad, and the rooms don’t look as described online. I will never come back here again and I don’t recommend to anyone. I recommend treasure island! That has bin by far the cleanest and more welcoming hotel so far here in Vegas for us considering we’ve stayed in several on the strip.

This place is a joke - don't waste your money!!!I called to book a package and I didn't read the confirmation correctly as I talked at length with the reservation person and thought I had it all booked properly - my fault for not double checking that someone did their job correctly.After arriving today, I was informed that it was the cheapest room on the reservation but if I wanted to pay extra, I could upgrade to a suite with a view. So for an extra $70+ for both nights, I thought it was good idea and did it.We got up to the suite and it's a bed in an empty room... THERE IS NOT EVEN AN OFFICE CHAIR!!!After talking with the front desk, they have no interest in making my stay comfortable. They claim a suite is a room with an elevated bed, coffee maker, and fridge for the price of over $200 a NIGHT. I've got sucker written on my forehead for falling for this. Don't bother staying here...it's not worth it. Many other nicer places to stay - on or off strip for better quality and service.Update: after escalating to a Supervisor, she credited the upgrade cost of the room which I am thankful for. Still no place to sit other than the bed. Even with the credit, the headache isn't worth it and I'll never book here again nor recommend it to anyone. I was NOT the only one in line at the front desk requesting help with similar issues.

This was an extremely disappointing experience. We booked a nonsmoking room, but the room was filled with smoke and we had to request a new one. The bed was uncomfortable and the walls were thin, so it was very loud. We ate at the Cafe Strat for breakfast, and it was truly gross. A Denny's would have been a better choice by far. On our last night, when we tried to enter the parking structure, the mechanical gates weren't working and there was no security guard in the booth to help us. We had to call the front desk to transfer us to a security officer, who was very rude and made fun of us for "not being able to push a button." When they arrived, they also found that the gate did not work and ran around for 15 minutes trying to find a key before another guest simply lifted up the gate and the security guards waved us through. The issue wasn't resolved when we left the following morning, and security guards were manually opening each gate and double checking people had paid for parking. It took over 30 minutes to leave, and I'm shocked that they still tried to charge for parking under the circ*mstances. After all of that, they did not charge my card correctly and I had to call the front desk again, who transferred me to the parking company to fix the charge. Overall, this was a customer service experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. Stay somewhere else.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at The Strat. The casino was fun and the pool was great. Only downfall was the phone in my room didn’t work making it difficult to call the front desk for anything, and one of my lights wouldn’t stop flickering and after I told the hotel about it, they informed me that the only way to replace the light would be to replace the entire headboard, so I just didn’t have light in the mornings/evenings. The bed was super comfy and the built in couch was a nice touch for extra space to sit and store things. The shower was a little awkward with the way the shower head was positioned, but there was a lot of space in the shower which is always nice for a bigger guy like me

Absolutely poor customer service in the hotel. Everyone but one person was super rude, and then we went to the pool, the girls selling skipped us every time, they seemed to be only interested in the older men around, I believe to get a bigger tip. I was forced to go all the way to the other end to the cafe and was told rudely I couldn’t buy anything because my toddler was with me. I was NOT trying to sit there, I was just wanting to buy some stuff for us and come back to our chairs. How exactly am I supposed to buy anything if there is NO service and I can’t walk up and buy either? The girl in charge of the towels was rude as well. She was sitting in the back ignoring everyone, when I called for her to come to the front she rolled her eyes, walked up and slammed 2 towels and IMMEDIATELY turned away even tho I requested 4 for us. I called her again and she again and rolled her eyes and gave me just one more and quickly went back to the back to be on her phone again. I have no problem with them entertaining themselves while they have no guests requiring their help, but once they are, you can’t get an attitude they are asking for help. This was an absolutely ridiculous waste of money. Not worth it at all, I’m talking to management about finishing our stay early and getting refunded because we are NOT dealing with this foolishness any more. We have been here 4 days so far and they have been anything but pleasant at the hotel and we had 5 more, but no thanks. We are over this.

It was a standard room that we booked online. When we got there, we were told the standard rooms weren't newly renovated and didn't have refrigerators. It was offered to us as an upgrade that had a microwave. They told us the room was recently renovated, so it looked great. However, there was a weird smell when we walked in. We thought maybe it just needed to be aired out. Next morning, the smell was still there and it was coming from the toilet and sink. We couldn't believe how bad it smelled. My brother and sister-in-law had a room there too, and it reeked of smoke. I don't even want to mention the rust on the outside of the shower. The hotel would have been a no-go if it wasn't near the wedding. What would a standard room look and smell like if this was the newly upgraded room? The first and last time we'll stay here.

The staff was exceptional, from the parking attendant to the club rewards center and VIP check-in. Their kindness and willingness to go above and beyond impressed me. They ensured my satisfaction and my room is both clean and comfortable. Truly remarkable service!

Barry E — Google review

It was far from what I had expected. The overall experience left a lot to be desired.I felt unsafe during my stay. The service was a major letdown as well. The staff seemed indifferent and unhelpful. Requests for assistance often fell on deaf ears, I requested twice for the hair dryer and never get it, the overall attitude was far from welcoming.Moreover, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The carpets were stained, and the bathroom had visible signs of neglect.

Jenny Y — Google review

Awful. Gross.I checked in pretty late for a 1 night stay, and when I arrived at my room, I could tell they hadn't vaccumed. I noticed pet hair on the carpet. I called down and asked for blankets, and no one ever bothered to bring them. I normally inspect my hotel rooms really well, but it was nearly 2 a.m., and I needed to lay down because I had another flight in a few hours. When I got up, I went to the bathroom, and I noticed the shower wasn't cleaned. Toothpaste splatters on the wall, more animal hair, and other hair in the drain of the shower. I found dog toys under the desk which confirm there had been animals in the room. I high tailed it out of there and told an employee at the self check out about the issues. They just shrugged and told me where to drop my key...The valet was nice... but otherwise, I wouldn't ever let anyone I sort of like stay there.

Location is farther from main busy part of strip. Nice view from room of the mountains. Clean rooms, easy check in, easier check out! Amazing prices in comparison to most other hotels on parts of strip. Disappointed that they advertised coffee maker, however, there was no coffee maker in the room.Easy to get around with Deuce bus stop right in front of hotel, with the Deuce public bus ($6 for 2 hour pass) running 24 hours a day on the strip.Highly advisable to not drive from hotel to hotel. Traffic was awful on Thanksgiving weekend.

Tracy G — Google review

The remodeled rooms were nice. Very comfortable and clean. The tower is always fun to look off of. They charge a little too much just to get access to the observation deck, but I guess that keeps it less crowded up there.

Zachary H — Google review

The Hotel is very clean and the hotel staff are friendly. The parking is automated meaning it scans your plates coming and going. The Casino has a nice atmosphere. Some of the dealers work half a day I think. So be nice to them! Hidden Fees for hotel amenities of 50$+ a day. So watch out for that. You're a mad man if you stay in Vegas more than three days though.

We only visited to do the rides while celebrating our 41st anniversary. We did have breakfast in the Cafe by the box office. The pancakes were great! I would highly recommend the rides if you love thrills! You may think you know drop towers but the Big Shot has a surprise! Not to mention that I didn't stop shaking for 20 minutes after getting off the X-Scream. You will not regret the experience!We purchased the unlimited tower and rides wrist bands. The were normally $41 each but when we asked about the locals discount it dropped the price to $48.96 for 2 wrist bands taxes and fees included. Not to mention we were in and out of the parking garage 4 times. At $20 to park, the free locals parking saved us another $80. Make sure you ask about and use your locals discounts folks!

My girlfriend and I checked into this hotel today and are staying for a week. We have been faced with nothing but disappointment since we got here. Apparently even though we are paying to stay at this hotel, there is a $21 a day parking fee. They did let me know that we are allowed to come and go as frequently as we want and the fee will not increase.Once we got our room number, we asked what elevator to take and was told the wrong one. We ended up walking all the way around the floor to our room.Everywhere you walk in this hotel smells like weed. This is supposed to be a weed free hotel. It's all you can smell in the hallway leading to our room. Fortunately it does not smell in the room itself.The bathroom door swings the wrong way, which makes closing the door to the bathroom very difficult once inside. The shower only has half a door meaning water gets on the floor. The temperature is entirely too hot. When you turn it down a little it gets too cold. Once you manage to find a decent temperature that won't hospitalize you, it will change back to extremely hot without touching it.We upgraded our room to a king bed, only to find that rather than having a fitted sheet, we have 2 top sheets on the mattress.The location of this property does not feel safe. Right across the street are boarded up apartments for rent. I wouldn't recommend walking around outside at this hotel, especially not alone.This is day 1 of 6 and so far we are not off to a great start. I wish we stayed somewhere else.

Will check out tomorrow but just wanted to say front desk was very nice. All people work here are gracious and happy . Room very clean and the gym is very efficient. Can't wait to enjoy the pool this afternoon and thank you to all the people behind the scenes to make all this happen

Well, I thought I'd switch from my normal stay, but it was a mistake. During my two night stay I had to call the front desk 4 times. The first time for poor drainage in the bathroom sink and the next 3 times for a television that only stayed on for 2 hours between fixes. The staff was great the check-in was fast. The check out was long. I paid for an up graded renovated room only to find that my view was of the parking structure. By the accommodation was decent 4/10. Made a reservation for Top of the World restaurant. Great views highly recommend but my food lamb chops, asparagus and the loaded baked potato arrived cold. I'm waiting for my refund for the resort fees. As they said, they couldn't comp my room due to being booked by a third party. But it looks like another charge was added after I checked out on the Feb 2/12, I just want the Strat to be a distant memory at this point.

The front desk gentleman, Todd, and the Bellman , Berto, were awesome. The other people at the front desk were horrible and very unprofessional.I came in and stood behind a lady and we were there for a long while. They stood around and walked in and out chatting with one another. They did not help any guest, then One lady asked me to come up and one took care of the other. The others did not nothing but chat amongst themselves. I approach the front desk because I needed to change rooms. I used a stern voice to show I was serious, but I wasn’t ugly and let them know that I needed to speak to that girl because she gave me a bad room. She never did come out and the guy said she’ll be out when she can and they were all just whispering talking amongst themselves. I got tired of it so I called at Todd to ask. He was polite. They all decided to come at me, very rudely, getting attitudes and they acted like they had a grudge against me even stating that they would call security and throw me out basically. I have never been treated as such . It was absurd. The lady made a comment that I was getting a comp room so I guess that’s why she gave me a crappy room in a smoking section, without asking me. She knew I had allergies because it was on my reservation. I went to them to try to get help and all they did was ignore me until I went to Todd because he was the only person working out there. They just chitchatted amongst themselves and ignored guest.They gave me an ugly handicap room that smelled and was warm.This hotel is beneath my standards. I will never stay here again!It was degrading and ruined my first night here. I paid for a room for an entire day that I was not even here because they made me wait so long that it was almost 2 am before I got to my room.It is Not worth the money!!! Thank God I have a nice resort booked for tomorrow.This is considered an old cheap best western hotel.The outside is pretty… and there is a lot of casino stuff…

Classic icon. Away from the main strip and much cheaper. But also a bit dated and not as nice as other higher end hotels. The tower is great and worth a visit. Especially at Nighyt. Overall a decent place if you don't want to spend too much on a room.

The Fremont Street Experience is a 24-hour pedestrian mall filled with computer-controlled lights and sound, as well as attractions such as a slot machine platform and a zipline. It's popular with tourists for its light show, Viva Vision, which changes regularly.

Fantastic, better than the main strip in my opinion. It's less polished, a little grimey but totally authentic. There's a better atmosphere there too and a wild mix of people. On the day I was there a couple of gigs were playing too. Did the zip line too which was good fun, albeit a little long waiting.

David B — Google review

You can’t come to Vegas without making a trip to Fremont Street. So much to see here. Lots of sparkling lights, zip-lines, street performers, delicious food and drinks, music, entertainment, casinos, and more. Definitely worth the experience.Highly recommend.Tip: If you have kids with you, I wouldn’t bring them down here after 8pm, this place really starts to heat up after that, and is really suited for adults only at that point.

Monica H — Google review

Visiting Fremont Street is certainly an experience.Without researching the history of the street, my interpretation is part of the old Las Vegas strip, designated as pedestrian-only (except for service vehicles) and covered by a giant curved l.e.d. Screen.With an assault on the eyes and ears, it is easy to go into a sensory overload, so sensitive individuals should avoid Fremont at any time of day.Great place to see some of the classic casinos such as Binions, Pioneer, and the Golden Nugget. Both inside the casinos and outside are countless shops, bars, and restaurants catering to every appetite.Overhead zip-lining is the fastest way to see the street with a bird's eye view, but zipping along so fast barely gives a glimpse at what the street has to offer.Souvenir!Street buskers and more. Get a photo taken with Superman, Green Lantern, Vegas Showgirls, silver Statues, or topless nuns. All for a modest price of course.A slushy co*cktail can be purchased every ten feet.Tired of walking? Let fish massage your feet.Fremont Street is surprisingly family-friendly during the day, but as the evening creeps in, so does the weirdness. If faint of heart, or visiting with children or family, it best to do so during the day, unless grandma doesn't mind the topless nuns.Easily accessible by ride share, taxi or bus.

William A — Google review

Stop in during the day, great experience not as crowded. Day time is the best time to really enjoy your self with out the distraction. Actually I was much nicer then the strip with so much construction all over the place. Plan on adding a lot of delay time if you're staying on the strip. Enjoy my friends and stay hungry.

Jess O — Google review

Fremont St was packed! I mean, holy hell packed. Great experience though, I’d strongly consider staying down there next time instead of the strip. It was just so much more lively than the strip.Live bands. LED show above your head. Great time and we felt safe.The slots seem looser down here.Table games (blackjack) was fantastic and fun for all parties.

Michael O — Google review

This place is not bad to watch people. The casinos are pretty lame, and the restaurants are OK. There’s a lot of gimmick stuff here and it’s a great place just to watch people but be careful about getting your photos taken with some of the locals cause they will charge you for everything. Overall worth a visit to check out the original Vegas strip.

Andrew M — Google review

Pretty fun if you want to get away from the strip and experience old Vegas, there's tons of street performers(a lot more than you would see on the regular strip), zip lining at slotzilla, tons of shops, food and other fun things to check out. The Denny's pop-up chapel is located here as well as heart attack grill and tons of other iconic places. They'll often host little concerts and events here so it's super fun just to walk around and see everything.

Reg T — Google review

Had a great time staying at the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street! It's cool that the party is right out the door. Good eats, big drinks, good music all day and good bands in the evenings! If you don't like loud music, stay off the downtown street because the party goes until 2am. If you want to handle, eat, party and stumble back to your room easily, this is your Vegas.BTW, The Hoover Dam is a half hour drive and Grand Canyon West is another two hours past that! Highly recommend the side trip!

Rick G — Google review

One of the most famous shopping and eatery streets in Las Vegas. A unique experience with rooftop light with LED lights and incredible designs. There a lots of things to do and enjoy in the walking street. Good restaurants, live music, gambling machines, or even to walk around to enjoy the vibes. I would recommend to walk during the evening to enjoy the light experience. Definitely a place to visit in your Las Vegas trip. Parking is not easy. Nearest parking mall costs 8$ an hour. If you are lucky might find cheaper street parking near by.

Sakesh S — Google review

This place is so awesome! Between the old school casinos and the random weird people wandering around and the live music and the pretty fabulous food, you could easily spend an hour or two just wandering around and looking at stuff. The main attraction is obviously the overhead lighted dome. Make sure that you stop to take your pictures and videos and don't walk while videoing because you will walk into someone. 100% recommend! We went twice while we were there. Make sure you cross the street outside and go over to Evel Pizza.

Fremont Street was the highlight of our Vegas trip! We came in the beginning of May so the weather was perfect. The streets were full of life and good vibes! Tons of different stores and street performers! Multiple concerts playing at the same time! We loved the animated ceiling as that just gave us so much great vibes. Definitely recommend people stop by if you're in Vegas!!

This place has great entertainment and a great nightlife atmosphere. Live music and cool small shops when you want to buy a few souvenirs. The band I saw was playing covers of Joan Jett, Nancy Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks. Totally Awesome! You have to check this place out.

A very lively and impressive place. The old Vegas. Suitable for young and old. However, it tends to be a young crowd and more locals than on the Strip. There were several stages with great bands playing rock music from different eras. Lots of people in a good mood and lots and lots of colorful lights. If you want, you can also zipline over the heads of the party people

For my first time ever in Las Vegas, ti be able to experience Fremont Street Experience was out of this world. You definitely see a huge variety of people and places and experience many amazing adventures. The lights, colors and sounds are so captivating and is just one of many, many reasons that we will be heading back to Las Vegas. One 7 day trip is just not enough time to take it all in! I absolutely loved it!!!

Jennifer — Google review

Only a short bus ride or Uber trip from the strip. But well worth the effort!we visited at night which is obviously the best time to go!I was worried the street actors would be too risque for my son, but it was no worse than what we saw on the strip. In fact they were better because they have to remain in specific areas!There were several music stages with different types of entertainment.But the real excitement is the overhead screen. On the hour they present a short three song performance for a specific artist. The rest of the time you can enjoy various videos overhead. Definitely worth taking the family.

Michael H — Google review

Wonderful and amazing live night here. Lots of fun can be done here based on the group you have . Multiple food corners to eat with friends and family. Lots of Street entertainment you will have to watch and enjoy. The amazing live display screen is so huge . The zip lining is the best experience can be done with family. If going with kids , just keep them close as this place is always very crowded as well go little early in the evening as by late evening you will have see some adult entertainment on the street which are not kids appropriate. Must visit place while in Las Vegas. Parking is cheap compared to there places and right next to the street.

AP — Google review

The best place in Vegas, the hotels are within walking distance, plenty of things to do, plenty of bars, entertainment ,a ZipLine for the brave, plenty of restaurants, the streets performers are great , just don't forget to tip them. There are concerts every night and the best is all free. Drinks are great, they don't skimp on the pour, average is 15-18 dollars, you can enter any hotel with your drink and gamble till you drop. Overall, it was a fun place in Vegas old part, in my personal opinion is more fun than the Strip, you won't be disappointed!!!

We've heard great things about Fremont Street so we were excited to go. It was so packed we could barely walk and couldn't get a drink because the lines were so long. There was a DJ and a band but again there were too many people so it wasn't enjoyable 🤷‍♀️. I'm really not sure what there is to do besides watching half naked women take pictures with men, shop or go to the casinos... Which we can do on the strip and there's more of it. Think we'll stay on the strip from now on.

Super fun crazy experience. Pretty much an adult only thing, especially at night and on the weekends. It's pretty loud too, you will see every and all kinds of people here. The food is great and the casinos are pretty cool too, a few of them are 21+ only. Multiple bands play at the same time on different stages and the main covered light show is awesome.

LevitatingLarry — Google review

Fremont Street in Old Las Vegas is one of my favorite experiences about visiting Las Vegas. Lot of things going on around you other than the rooftop projector and music. Lots of quick grab bites and also upscale restaurants to eat and things to see, street performers, zip lines, casinos. This is really a must to visit while in Las Vegas. There are marked areas for the shows and the stars are great but the show lasts till 2-3 at night. After the show is over, it is not advisable to stay any longer as the place gets shady in the early mornings. In my opinion, it is not advisable to bring kids in this area as crowd can get crazy and shady some times and booze is available aplenty. But I will surely recommend adults visiting here during evenings and till 12-1 at night. Fun place to unwind!

Every time I told someone my son was taking me to Vegas for my birthday, they told me to be sure and go to Fremont Street. That place is freaking awesome. When we were there in April, they had 2 gigs going on. Great music. The atmosphere is electric. If you don't go anywhere else, go there. It is like an outside mall with tons of things going on. Be sure and check out the roof and the changing designs. They have 2 ziplines also. There are plenty of places to eat. This is just an awesome place.

We found a fun little saloon and saddled up to people watch. Everyone needs to go to Fremont Street Experience when in Vegas. If you walk just a little off the downtown, one can find lots of hidden treasures and local watering holes. Take the bus too.. get opportunity to get somewhat acclimated, and you cannot beat $8 for a 24 hour pass

Jodi S — Google review

Very fun place to visit. Much better than the strip because it's more crowd friendlier. They have live entertainment on 3 stages in the evening hours and more individual performers on Fremont. Many restaurants to eat at, and across Las Vegas Blvd theirs the container park area with vendors and restaurants also, and clubs to party at and many hotels to stay in in that area.

Nicole W — Google review

Day time visit. The best time is at night for Halloween. Free concerts. Lots of stores, places to eat and gamble. There is a pricey zip line and video display on the roof. And of course street performers performing for tips. Tip if you watch and are entertained. At least 20.

We had time to kill before catching our flight so after driving to the Hoover dam for the day, we made our way to Fremont street which we were originally not going to see.We’ll worth the time and only cost $8 for 2 hrs parking in garage.Loved the atmosphere and the video show on the “ceiling” of the streets. One of my favorite things we did on the trip. There is zip lining across the the streets if you are interested in that. Lots of side shows happening from interesting to weird and pathetic.

Love this place. It’s a nice getaway from the strip and lots of locals hangout here. There are plenty of local vendors and street performers including a few stages with live band.

BEST PLACE IN LAS VEGAS! JUST WOW! This place is such an amazing night out! Live music was great. The roof with light shows and displays runs the whole street and is so cool! There is a brilliant atmosphere too! Small children and adults alike were having a blast! We got drinks from a bar right next to the stage in the middle which on the surface seemed pricey but actually a pint of strong co*cktail for 25 dollars was the only drink we needed for the night! Just amazing!

This was my first , but definitely not last, trip to Vegas. My now husband and I were married at the Little Neon Chapel and we had to pass through this beautiful experience to get to the chapel. I really enjoyed people watching and all of the beautiful lights.

This place is a MUST GO. Everyone was telling me to check out “old Vegas” prior to my trip there. It didn’t seem appealing as I really want to just go to the strip but we decided to check it out. Wow. The energy here is immaculate, and the drinks are literally half the price compared to the strip. Not to mention this place is visually stunning. We ended up spending most of our time here. The casinos, drinks, and people are just all outstanding. If you’re trying to not spend a ton of money while still having a good time and getting a taste of Vegas, this is your spot. Highlight of my weekend and will be back for sure.

Get away from the Vegas Strip and come on down to Downtown & Fremont Street Experience. Make sure to take time enjoy all of the neon art signs that are everywhere. Great neon! Lively time, hipster vibe and lots to see and do and eat and drink and party and smoke and whatever you want to do, well almost. Live music, DJs, street artists and performers of all sorts ... Just be aware of your purse or wallet against pick pockets if you stop to watch something. Great alternative to the crush of the Vegas Strip. You can walk it easy up and back and spend a couple of hours or all day or night. Well worth doing if you have never been.

William B — Google review

We loved this experience. Wow, it's a lot of glitter & glam. We saw 2 performers and both were awesome on the stage near one end. We played the $50-$60 to do the zip line laying down. Fun! Several street performers were there. Since really good, others not so much. We parked 2 blocks away for $3 (2 hrs) and walked in.

Scott F — Google review

Very cool to see old Vegas, but while feeling totally safe. You can still find inexpensive buy-ins for the tables, reasonably priced beer and food. The video screen above Fremont is amazing, but the live bands, street performers, and people watching really make this a spot to check out. Definitely worth the short cab ride from the strip.

Rob C — Google review

Super fun experience (not age-appropriate environment for kids). The viva vision light show was mesmerizing. We came at 8:00pm on a Sunday. Free concerts during the time that we went. There were many talented street performers. There were also quite a few ladies and gentlemen dressing in sexy outfits. We also did caricature for $20/person

The Mob Museum is a Las Vegas museum which tells the story of organized crime in America. It features exhibits on gangs, law enforcement efforts against them, and real-life artifacts from throughout history.

This was a great experience! It’s fun for all ages which is nice. They even have a secret password for the day to enter in the underground bar the fun way through the back outside for the 21+ crowd. It’s packed full of history and every level has videos and interacting exhibits with cost a little more but so worth it. The best thing is once you get a general admissions ticket, you have access to the museum all day until they close. Absolutely recommend this as a must see in Vegas!

Interesting museum. They have 3 floors of history and allow an interactive experience as well. Well done here. There are a lot of visitors so I would say go early in the week and early in the day. It was pretty packed but well planned and lots of great information. You can easily spend over 3 hours looking at the various exhibits.We did the shooting experience that was cool. They have a nice gift shop as well.

Super interesting and amazing museum !!! I love all things crime and this museum was dope. It was less than five minutes from my hotel and admission to get in took less than a minute. It had a lot of exhibits and information. It has three floors and has all sorts of artifacts. I loved this museum, definitely a visit if you’re into true crime while in Vegas!

I have been to Vegas twice before this visit, and no one wanted to come here with me. I am so glad that I was able to come. This place is full of history. The videos,clips, and stories are so interesting. A must visit place

The restored neoclassical post office & then courthouse is where the Mob Museum resides near Fremont Street.We took our time viewing and reading the many displays in the three stories the museum fills. Very informative and fun tour. $8 to park in the lot next to the museum for two hours. Mob museum underground bar is pretty cool as well. Numerous restaurants nearby.

The museum experience is very enlightening and quite in depth. Definitely plan on at least 2 to 4 hours to go through most of it. Quite a bit of reading but also lots of photographs and display as well. You absolutely must go to the speakeasy and try one of their prohibition era co*cktails. Decent little food selection as well. Bartenders are all dressed and quite capable.

This was such a cool experience! Loved learning about the mob and history of Vegas. You can walk through at your own pace. Set aside 1-3 hours. Lots of artifacts, short clips, and audio recordings. We got the premier passes that include two interactive experiences. We chose the crime lab for me and the distillery tour for my husband. Worth it if you have the time. The crime lab goes over bullet analysis, fingerprints, and forensic analysis of a crime. The distillery tour goes over how spirits are made. You get small samples of the products made in their facility with the option to buy bottles if you wish. We stopped over at The Underground speakeasy for some drinks after the tour. I had the Bathtub Fizz and my husband had The Underground Old Fashioned hidden in some light reading material.Tip: Highly recommend getting your tickets in advance! $10 ticket discount for visits between 9-11 am or after 5 pm.

Great experience on learning about the history of the mob. So much to see and learn. 3 floors of exhibits. Well worth the admission price. If I had more time I would've loved to visit their speakeasy in the lower level... but after spending 2+ hours soaking up good history I ran out of time before dinner reservations. Highly recommended.

This is totally up my alley I love mob movies and have read so much about them so being able to go to something like this was definitely on my bucket list! The courthouse, the hand written notes, photos ,stories and so on were just amazing! You have to sit in the electric chair and have someone pull the handle without them knowing it makes a noise and our group definitely had fun with that! Great time and they have a bar downstairs! So cool!

Very well done 👏 Very clean, extremely well ran, beautiful historic building. I loved the many levels of this museum with tons of interesting rooms full of info on the gangs, police, murders, prohibition, and even Vegas at that time. Beautiful displays, and the interactive court room was really cool. Be sure to visit the speak easy after. Do the police lineup photo at the beginning, it's not expensive to buy! The gift shop is awesome, I grabbed a few things before leaving. Very very well done.

If you're looking for a non-gaming activity in Vegas, this place is a great choice. Very clean place, and ticketing was organized and quick. You'll have 3 floors of self-guided touring, so you can go as fast or slow as you want to. There are places along the way to grab a seat and watch informative videos. There are also spots inside to grab a drink or snacks. The exhibits very well done. Glad we added this place to our list of events while visiting the city.

This museum far exceeded my expectations! Lots of interesting information about the history of the mob and cool things on display. We did two of the extra activities (crime lab and distillery tour) and found them to be enjoyable. Crime lab was a little cheesy but interesting. The STAFF is incredibly nice and welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. The nice woman (I believe Minnie was her name) greeted us this morning and took time to ask how we were doing and where we were from. I personally didn’t enjoy the taste of the moonshine but many did. You can purchase as well. Very well done museum!

ME T — Google review

I was disappointed in this one. First we did not visit the speakeasy or do any of the extra side stuff they have just the basic tour. The exhibit was pretty boring mostly just text and images put on a wall hardly any historic items or memorabilia. The place was super busy which is kind of annoying when you are trying to read everything. I would break the museum down like this, it's 90% text on a wall, 5% cheesy videos and touch screen, 3% prop, 2% actual historical items.I was pretty excited for this but left disappointed, yeah it has a lot to teach you but the exhibits aren't very engaging they definitely could put more actual historical stuff in to make it shine.

Super cool and amazing history museum of the MOB. You can easily spend hours here reading and seeing everything they have. Well worth the money. To start out with you, you will need to pay for parking outside. I believe it was like $8-$10. Once inside, you will be asked if you want the basic tour $30 or the premier $48. I suggest the premier for the full experience. It gets pretty busy during the afternoon, so I will suggest going really early or late past 5 pm. There is like 3 or floors with different things to see and experience. Make sure to check out the underground speakeasy on the bottom floor and try out their unique drinks. You can also grab a bite to eat there as well. Overall it was an amazing experience. Love it all. Definitely coming back and bringing my friends to it.

David B — Google review

Very interesting and informative experience. I need to go back and spend about 3x as much time there, an hour and a half wasn't enough to digest everything properly if you want to study and understand. It should be enough time for a quick walkthrough. The speakeasy sounded fun, but didn't have time to visit. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Great visit!

Juan L — Google review

Highly recommend!! Fantastic production quality, the entire experience was interesting and kept us entertained the entire time we were here. I’m amazed at how well everything in the museum was put together and on display. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Vegas.I think buying premium tickets is worth the price. If you are law enforcement you even qualify for a discount. Or if you visit after 5pm there are discounted tickets.Things to keep in mind:-This is a self-guided tour experience.-The content is extensive, so you may want to allot at least 4 hours. We went at 6:45pm and didn’t finish in time, as the location closed at 9pm.-The museum is located near Fremont. May be a good place to spend the day if you’re on vacation and in the area.

VISITED MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2023Because my twin and I are from the city of Chicago, we decided to checkout this museum. Certainly, not a disappointed. Lots of interesting information from the begining of the mobster era until the downfall. However, I'm sure it still exists but not as obvious as before. Yes, you will learn a lot of how it came to Las Vegas but other parts of the country as well. Be forewarned that there a lot of gruesome images that are not for your little ones. Frankly, I wouldn't be my kids unless they are in their teens but even then I wouldn't want them to be influenced. Also, if you ask, they will tell you it takes a few hours, but I believe if you wanted to read everything and see everything, it would take half a day.Also, if you are military or a student, be sure to use to get a nice discount. It's a $30 ticket for general admission. There is also a speak easy where you can drink and have a meal. Pretty cool!OVERALL: Be sure to check out while in Vegas

CG F — Google review

Thought it would just be okay, turned out to be fantastic. I would recommend, quite interesting history, and done in a really interesting way. There are things to read, little movies, artifacts, etc. you can rent the audio tour for $5, we did not and we're still there 3 hours without staying to have a drink on the speakeasy.

Highly recommended! A great way to spend a few hours away from the heat of Las Vegas.3 floors and a basem*nt. The way that the presentations and memorabilia were put together, are superbly done. One of the best exhibits/museums that I have ever been to.The staff was also amazing, very friendly and helpful here. Elevators and flights of stairs, with multiple bathrooms available.We also chose to do the crime lab and distillery package. Don't forget the very cool speakeasy down in the basem*nt as well, for an amazing beverage or a snack.

It was such a fun time! And I feel like I learned so many cool things! Definitely recommend! The speak easy is so cool and they have live jazz!! Plus your tickets last the whole day! Also if your a local you get a great discount!!

Interesting and interactive activity. I got the package with the two interactive experiences (training + crime lab) and I had a blast. I wish I had more time to explore the museum— so much information, so many interesting facts are presented! I feel like I had to run through the floors in the 3.5 hours spent there. I would definitely need to go back get and explore more.

I've always wanted to visit, and it was so much more than I expected. Honestly, we all know about the mobs touch in Vegas. Hell, there are movies about it. But to actually see in depth was pretty awesome. My favorite had to be the Flamingo room.I also got the distillery experience for my boyfriend and I.It was Very cool, moonshine is not as bad as I thought. They also are only two streets away from Fremont St. Definitely check it out!

Alison ( — Google review

Went in with friends, Nevada residents get a discount! We went with premier for the experience and WOW was it worth while! We started with the speak easy that turned out to be the wrong idea- as theirs a secret knock to learn to get in the back door 😉 the fire arms bit was extremely fun and interactive for anyone wishing to try it. And the distillery tour gets you "buzzed" and ready for the rest of the walk for the 4 floors of history and fun. Anyone in the family will surely have fun coming here, that's a promise!!

Juli S — Google review

Very interesting and loved the self tour, also the different experiences. 👌 will definitely visit again. Take at least 3-4 hours of your time so you can visit everything. The restaurant in the basem*nt is very dark so be prepared to need a flashlight to see menu. Could use more help, staff was not available and didn't wait on us for awhile... some people got up and left due to no wait staff. Other than that everything else was very cool.

This was on our list of places to visit. You definitely need to go here. This museum is very well put together and very informative. You will need a minimum of 2 hours to see everything. There is a nice gift shop as you get to the end. The staff was wonderful and they really enhanced the self guided tour. There is an elevator of you need assistance. Don't miss this place!!!

Donna S — Google review

Very informative learning experience! Learnt a lot about the mobs that once were and how Vegas in a way came to be, because of these mobs! Interesting and worth the time! We didn’t do the extra activities at extra cost but enjoyed the general admission enough! Recommend it!

What an incredible learning experience. The staff is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their specific area with complete timelines.The amount of artifacts contained in this museum is simply astounding. The details that is presented with each artifact is unlike anything I have ever seen.I highly recommend including the audio as part of your tour. Allow a minimum of 3 plus hours to take advantage of what they have to offerI highly recommend visiting this museum.

Absolutely loved it!! We spent about three hours here. There are three floors and it is all encompassing. It covers everything from early immigration to current day headlines. There were so may interesting displays, short (3 minute or less) films and actual physical items, both real and prop. They also have a couple interactive areas as well. This is a can't miss if you are in Vegas!

Ron H — Google review

Staff was very friendly. We got there at 10:30 am and it was already quite busy so be aware of that. 3 floors of winding exhibit so there is a lot to see and take in. There are lots of photographs, video, and artifacts from the time period. It was a fun experience. The speak easy was nice and the staff there were very friendly and service was excellent.

Michael M — Google review

The mob museum was probably one of my most enjoyable experiences during my most recent trip to Las Vegas. This is an immersive experience, located inside of an old courthouse, which adds to the experience. There is multiple floors of exhibits with everything from early mob history of the East, Chicago, prohibition, and the beginning of Las Vegas there’s an exhibit on modern racketeering. the gift shop at the end is cool and there’s also a speakeasy in the basem*nt and coffee shop located next to the court room. They have lots of great artifacts. Buying tickets in advance streamlined the entry process and there’s a parking lot next-door that you do have to pay to park at you can even take a picture in a real electric chair used for executions. If you were interested in history or true crime, this is definitely the place to stop and spend a few hours.

Bill K — Google review

This was one of the speakeasies we wanted to visit in Vegas and we were not disappointed. Located in the basem*nt of the Mob museum and decorated in the prohibition Era. We enjoyed the co*cktails that we ordered. We really liked the sliders that we ordered as well. There's a moonshine distillery also located in the lounge. We needed a password to enter, which gave it that authentic feel. You can enter through the museum or use the secret door out back.

Kino J — Google review

We had always heard good things about the MOB museum here in Vegas. We bought tickets in advance and it made the journey way easier. Parking is 8 dollars and it's a small lot so plan accordingly. With the pre purchased tickets we walked right in and got started. There are 3 floors of interactive exhibits. There are videos and a lot of reading. Some real great information some people may know and definitely learned a few things as well. Plenty of videos to watch as well. They had a guest speaker giving talks every hour and it was great. Hopefully he's there for a while for others to enjoy. We did the moonshine tasting as part of our tour and the speakeasy is right across the hall if you have time for a drink. Overall it was a good experience and a good time.

Chris A — Google review

This place was amazing. I loved it. There were so many cool things to see. You can also take part in a firearm simulation experience. Which I did, and it was awesome and educational. You also participate in forensics. This place is cool as hell 😎 Giving you a whole lot of mobsters vibes and education ‼️

It was a great experience learning how the mob really operates. Our church group did the scavenger hut competition, which means look,listen,read, and learn. The coffee shop was a good pick me up. Sitting in the courtroom was awesome. I highly recommend this place. There is more to Las Vegas than casinos.

Emma B — Google review

Wish we had more time to read up on all that was displayed. We did the crime lab, which was very cool. Took a chance on the distillery, if you like moonshine, you're in luck. It was neat to see how it's made and was very informative and hostess was entertaining.

Amazing views of such a majestic place. Ride the red shuttle all the way hermits rest. Every picture is a good one with the canyons in the back. Continue down for the long hike to the Colorado river , or just stop for a Picnic packed lunch . A few tables offer a a great place to eat and get photos. The red shuttle runs every 10 minutes however the mask rule is still ridiculous. Lots of squirrels and birds make it like a scene from Bambi . Do not feed! Don’t leave your bang unattended either as it may be ransacked by those little furry guys! Be sure to switch your camera to panoramic to get the best pics! Enjoy

If you’re in Vegas and you want to make a day trip to the Grand Canyon this is perfect. It took us about two hours to drive there and the cost for the skywalk and the general admission was about $60. That might seem a bit steep but I can tell you that I felt it was worth it. Though I was scared to death to walk around the skywalk I was blown away by the incredible views of the Grand Canyon. I would suggest this place as a day trip for anybody that doesn’t have time to make the 4 Hour Dr. to the actual park.

Grand Canyon West Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that extends 70 feet from the canyon rim, offering visitors the thrilling experience of walking 4,000 feet above the canyon floor. Managed by the Hualapai Tribe, this attraction is just one part of a tour that includes other unique canyon views and points of interest. While some visitors choose to skip the Skywalk due to long lines and high prices, many find that Guano Point offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience.

Best part of the whole experience is the part that is advertised the least - Guano Point. The views are absolutely amazing. We chose to skip the skywalk to save time and money. The line to get on it was very long and we didn't want to wait. But Guano Point made up for all of it. The meal at Guano Point left a lot to be desired. Was very little food and not that great. But you don't go here for the food. They should really lower the price on it though since you don't exactly get what you pay for. But Guano Point was amazing and could stay there all day long. That's why this gets 5 Stars in spite of the other notes. The workers are amazing people by the way!! Top notch service!

This was such a unique experience! Definitely more things to do than the south and north rim. It was pretty awesome having the native Americans singing as people explored the area. Do be aware that you cannot bring animals here but there is a location not far from the Grand Canyon where you can board them

Tiffany M — Google review

This was insane. Well worth the money and wait. Beautiful views and a unique experience. Do not do this if you're afraid of heights. If you have good enough eyes you might be able to see animals below. You have to wear booties to walk around so you don't scratch or mess up the glass view. Make sure you wear clothing to protect from the sun. There's some cover but not a ton.

Ja C — Google review

The view was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life! But be careful, it’s very expensive. The Skywalk is not worth it AT ALL! It’s a scam! You pay 30$ extra (besides the 60$ from general admission) and you cannot bring phones, water, nothing. Then they have loads of photographers that take 4 pictures and charge you 25$ for each photos AND they don’t even print it, just send it to your email. Ridiculous!So, I would recommend to just pay general admission (60$) - the views are AMAZING.Would also recommend to bring food

Sofia G — Google review

What an amazing place. This part of the Grand Canyon is run and owned by native people of the land. To actually see the Grand Canyon, in all its glory up close with no guard rails was amazing. And to learn about the native people of the land was also an amazing experience. Staff running the facility were extremely friendly and informative. I would recommend going to this part of the Grand Canyon rather than the government run area.

Jim H — Google review

I have been here three times already. The first time was when they first opened, and the road was still a dirt road. The following two times came with friends. The views are spectacular. However, this place has enormous crowds of visitors all three times. The last time was the worst. It took me more than two hours to get on the glass bridge. The last hour was inside a very narrow hallway inside the building with no very good ventilation. I think I would not want to be on the glass bridge next time again!

Michael W — Google review

Loved this spot, we did a bus tour and well worth it. The scenery is spectacular. Next time we will do the chopper ride out over the Grand Canyon. The photos 📸 we got on the Skywalk were not very good at all considering they were supposedly professional photographers. Great deals and reasonably priced T Shirts etc, we did a lot of souvenir 🛍 shopping here.

Joe T — Google review

This actually IS worth the money I payed for. I walked out on the glass walking over the canyon which was astounding magnificent. I have no problems with heights let alone walking on clear glass over possibly 2,000 feet plus. This has been a highlight of my trip.

Beautiful and breathtaking. Every angle has a different perspective of the Canyon and its beauty.You're not able to take anything on the skywalk, but they give you free lockers to store your items.You can play $25 for one of the associates to take one photo...Or you can pay $65 and the photographer will take up to 20 photos. All will be available at the end.They do make you put on special booties to not scratch the glass flooring.We were only able to get photos by going up to the restaurant taking photos through the window.

Lorri P — Google review

This was on my bucket list to complete and was definitely worth a stop! The bridge itself is a feat of MODERN engineering. It’s awesome to go out. It feels completely safe and the staff is very courteous. You will not be allowed to take any personal items, including your cell phones out onto the bridge, but you can purchase professional photographs, which I thought was very awesome. The lines going to be a little bit long, so be prepared to wait about an hour on the weekend. There’s lots of information about the Grand Canyon. Super awesome.

Stunning views. Unfortunately, meal options were very limited during our visit. Disappointing that we could take no pictures of our own while at Skywalk, but I understand not wanting to deal with tourists that drop their phone/ camera, etc., and expect reimbursem*nt. The pictures they take sound expensive but they are digital and include some beautiful scenery shots as well. We'll worth the money.There's some beautiful shots that you are free to take on your own at the second stop and a nice little hike to the top of a rock bluff, boasting incredible views!

This was a very cool experience, for sure. The walkway is 4000 feet above the highest point. The view is absolutely breathtaking! The staff is very helpful and there to take pictures for you. This is on an actual indian reservation. You are not allowed to take bags,phones, or your own cameras on the bridge per their rules. We got the picture package, and it is well worth it. We traveled to this location via Sweet Tours bus company that was absolutely perfect. A+++

Bob H — Google review

The scenery itself is exceptionally beautiful, with the distinctive ravines of the Grand Canyon and the impressive faults of the mountains.However, the Skywalk is not worth purchasing tickets for; the glass bridge is actually small, not like the showing on the commercial ad, and the glass is dirty with many scratches, making it difficult to see the deep ravines below.Additionally, not allowed bring any phone to bridge, have to leave all bags items in the locker, you have to purchase pictures taken by staff for $25 each, which are of low quality and only can be downloaded and printed by yourself.It is not worthwhile to spend extra for this experience.Furthermore, during winter, the mountain peaks experience strong winds and low temperatures, so dressing warmly. I noticed families wearing short sleeves and shorts in such conditions.

Rico H — Google review

We went on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded. No wait to get in and the buses are very fast and efficient moving you from one area to the next. The skywalk was amazing! Beautiful views in every direction you look. The staff was super friendly and it added to the whole experience in a very positive way. Food and gift shops are priced very reasonably. The photographers on the Skywalk were really great and purchased photos didn't break the bank. I would go back again and spend more time here (there's no time limit but we had other things to do that evening) Such a beautiful place! Guano Point was the best! (Next bus stop on the tour)

Wow! Just wow! Breath taking and just so marvelous! I will attempt to explore more of the Grand Canyon with time and discover new and better views, I am loving more of the rush to find beautiful places to see, hear, smell, feel and touch of this majestic wonder. Also remember to mention AAA discount if you do have the membership, it’s about 7-10 percent off the regular price.

Decided to take a day trip and picked Grand Canyon west. Just 2 hours from Vegas it's an easy straight forward drive. Arrived mid day and plenty of parking was available. We weren't really sure what to expect and really didn't do much research I figured you could just park and walk around and see the sights and leave. Just be warned you have to park , go in and get tickets to either just go in under general admission or pay extra to go out on the glass walkway. General admission was 60 and change and I believe the walkway admission was 80 each person. You then go in and take a bus to each stop. The first stop was the walkway which had a decent view of the canyon. We waited for another shuttle , they came every 8 mins or so. The next stop had much better views and you could actually see the river. Over all it was a nice day trip and something to do. If you're in Vegas and don't want to drive 5 hrs to Grand canyon national Park then this is a good replacement. Not sure if it's worth the drive and 134 bucks to see the canyon but now you know the ins and outs and can decide on your own.

We didn't do the Skywalk, first of all because it's overpriced, secondly, you cannot bring your camera or phone to take pictures. And then you're being offered photos that are probably not even good enough at a too high price.The scenery is beautiful, well worth the visit. Just take your time to enjoy it.

I have been to The Grand Canyon a few times but my kids hadn’t and we were in Vegas so decided to detour and take them. I understand the money goes to a good cause, but it’s absolutely ridiculous it’s $56 a person to view the canyon! You can go to the Grand Canyon NP and pay $30 a car for a week to explore and hike the canyon. We spent $220 for 2 adults and 2 kids. You take a shuttle to two spots. There are no trails to hike and you’re only viewing the canyon. So $220 to see a canyon blows my mind! You have to pay extra to do the skywalk. I’ve done that before and not worth the hype nor the money. The crowds were insane and you couldn’t even get in to eat at the restaurant which was disappointing. Very disappointed in this tourist trap.

Amy ( — Google review

Absolutely amazing view. Not for those who are afraid of heights. The view was amazing. But I do recommend going to their second site where you can overlook the canyon. While the skywalk was amazingly cool. The better sight to see is the other location.

Shawn B — Google review

NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS! Amazing design. Place a glass floor, horseshoe shaped walking ramp 1000 feet above the floor of the canyon. Leave all personal affects as they are not allowed on the Skywalk. Put on booties and experience a walk on the high side! Have your photo taken, or simply marvel at the sheer beauty of God's creation.

Michael E — Google review

This is such an insane experience. You will have to put all your personal belongings in a locker provided by the canyon and use the required booties for your feet. If you want pictures, they have photographers and you will have to pay. The skywalk is unlike anything else I've ever experienced. Truly beautiful and unique.

Sabrina W — Google review

This place is unbelievable. There are plenty of places to eat. Get your tickets online on their app. It was cheaper for me and easier when you arrived there. Keep a hold of your kids. There isn't borders to stop you from slipping off into the canyon. Common sense. The sky bridge, you can't take nothing with you. If you want pics they take them and sell them to you. It was a full day affair for us. We had to take buses to each section. Worth the money.

Celeste M — Google review

It was cool but it was just so expensive for not really enough to do in the time spent. There is so much to do at the Grand Canyon for less and you can spend more time there. We were worried we wouldn’t have enough time here but we ended up leaving much earlier than expected because there was so little to do.

Had an amazing time as usual. I took my sister and cousins and best friend. They all had a blast as well. The employees are nothing short of amazing cannot wait to go back again. I do recommend renting a vehicle in Vegas rather than taking one of those tours. That way you can stop and see different sites along the way. Stop at some of the stores on the tribal lands. Just really get to talk to the people and see their culture.

This was an unforgettable experience!I will be happy to return to this place and explore the area during a warm weather. A helicopter ride over there should be spectacular as I did over the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Be ready to take hundreds of pictures.Make sure you check the weather and the park website before you go. For safety reasons they closed the park after the snow storm. It was brutal cold day on late December.Have fun!

We had a blast! It was pretty cool to walk out on that ledge! The views from the Grand Canyon were unreal! Do the whole tour their not just the skywalk!

Great visit.You think you can estimate how big and wide the Canyon will be but, until you see it, we'll what else can you say.A must do for all which will not disappoint.Watch your kids as it is a straight drop 4000 ft.Enjoy the views, take time, sit down breathe.

Craig O — Google review

It's a great view, don't get me wrong, but it was a bit anti-climatic really. It's not as large as it looks and you can't take your phone or camera out with you, so you are beholden to the owners for pictures ($25 for one, $50 for 7). I found Guano Point to be the true highlight of the area. If on a budget, skip this and go straight to Guano Point.

Nature & Parks

Valley of Fire State Park is a natural wonder located approximately 50 miles from Fremont Street Experience. It spans across 40,000 acres and features stunning red Aztec sandstone formations, petrified trees, and ancient Native American petroglyphs at Atlatl Rock. This Nevada state park was the first to receive official designation in 1935 and has been sculpted by wind and water over thousands of years.

Valley of fire State Park! Wow I can't even begin to describe the beauty of this place. Here is just a few pics of it. First of all it is the most peaceful and quiet place. It looks like it's not even real at all. The weather was just perfect and sunny. I would advise you to wear enclosed shoes and have some water on you if you decide to hike around. There are wildlife out here like snakes etc so be careful of the holes in the ground. Also make sure you have enough gas in the tank Because it's a long way to a gas station and cell service might not be the best out there.

This has to be one of my all time favorite places. We got there early morning. The park was quiet and our first hike was amazing on the White Domes trail. The Narrows was definitely my favorite part of this trail. Everywhere you look is something interesting. This whole park is amazing and if you drag it out could spend a whole day here. Hikes are easy and most everyone we came across was friendly.

Toni R — Google review

This a hidden gem - a must visit, especially if you are traveling from Vegas to Zion - a short detour that’s worth every bit. Spectacular views and short easy hikes. If you are visiting during summer be mindful of the weather and carry loads of water or fill up at the visitor center. Entrance is 15$ (2022) for private vehicle. Spend up to 3-4hrs to see most points

Abdul S — Google review

A must see in the Vegas area. So beautiful and astonishing. Colorful and awesome. It's a state park, you can't use your annual pass here. It's an extra fee but absolutely worth it. We have been here several times and would always return. It's an about 1 1/2 hours drive from Vegas, we always do it on our way to other parks. If you want to see all and hike, at least plan half a day, but you can also just take the scenic drive in and out.

D H — Google review

Absolutely beautiful, paradise for a photographer. I would recommend going as early as possible to catch the sunrise, there are some spots that are just awesome. The hikes are not crazy difficult, so you can do them with the gear. My must visit spots are the mouse tank road (right before rainbow vista), fire wave hike and just drive all the way down in mouse tank road, totally worth it.We went during end of September and at 8am the sun was high enough that we felt it was 2 pm, so carry water.

Pranay D — Google review

Valley of Fire is beautiful and has a good amount of easy to moderate difficulty trails along with more challenging options. There is a lot of variation in environment and the visitors center provides a good overview of the history of the park and the animals and rocks that are a part of the area.There are restrooms and shaded picnic tables at several of the parking areas.

Chelsea S — Google review

A wonderful place to visit in April if it's not raining or snowing. We waited a couple days to come on a nice and sunny day. The temperature was in mid 50s so it was perfect for hiking. I can imagine it being really hot in summer here with all the sand and rocks baking in 110+ degrees. Anyway, the views were stunning and not at all scary in terms of heights. I feel safe hiking here. Bring a lot of water to drink and wear sunglasses. The wind is quite strong and the sand gets flown around.

Patrick C — Google review

Make sure when you come to Vegas you make time to come to this amazing state park. Beautiful scenic views and wildlife on sight. I got to see rams and cool insect. Didn't get to hike to the famous fire wave but to check out some really cool spots with no people around. Visitor center available with small museum and restrooms. Entrance fee was $15.

Melystikal — Google review

This was a great way to spend a day! The day we went it was almost 100 degrees so any hiking we did was brief due to the heat. But we took full advantage of driving the scenic routes and the view stations. Absolutely stunning scenery.

Kathleen J — Google review

Beautiful natural area. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen! All the normal precautions regarding hiking in the desert apply. Park gets busy at times so plan accordingly.Lots of nice hikes to choose from, "The Wave" is a popular favorite. I especially enjoy The White Domes Trail that goes through a slot canyon.

Charles H — Google review

Awesome landscape. Take your sunglasses, hat, hiking shoes and water. Lots of water! Atmosphere is very dry but it's worth it. There are many stops to wonder around. I went to about 6 of them. Fortunately, some of those include restrooms. Be sure to use them as the next one might not be near.

Daniel B — Google review

What a gorgeous, gorgeous place! I am so glad that I chose to come here with my 3 kids after driving over 4 hrs each way to Southern California and back a day prior. It was a gem and I will definitely go back to see the magnificent canyons that Valley of Fire has to offer. This place is a must see and it’s only a short 1 hour drive out from Las Vegas.

Jenny S — Google review

Absolutely beautiful place to visit with the family. $10 per car to enter.I can’t wait to return for camping. The rock formations look alien and gorgeous.I would recommend going in the winter months. There is a lot to see and explore. Have comfortable hiking shoes.

Chris H — Google review

I was not expecting such a fantastic scenic park! We were driving to Las Vegas when we saw the signs for Valley of Fire and I remembered a coworker had mentioned this place.So we took a detour. At first I was not going to enter due to the $15 fee. But decided I had made it this far and we could drive straight through.I was amazed at the very scenic red rock mountains. From the outside of the park you do not get a true impression.We spent about three hours in the park which is enough to simply see it. We did a few short hikes and drove everywhere we could. We also went in the winter and the park was packed! We skipped a few parking areas because they were full and we did not want to park illegally.But we were still able to see the sights from other viewing areas.

Michael H — Google review

Beautiful park with amazing, vibrant colors and some great hiking. I enjoyed great weather when I was there despite the forecast (which scared people off) so I had a lot of trails pretty much to myself that are normally very busy. Lodging nearby isn’t vast but it’s not a bad drive at all from Mesquite.

FFKDTP1 — Google review

This place was amazing. My recommendation is to come early. The park is huge and you won’t want to rush the experience, you could be there all day and still not see it all. Overnight camping is permitted and there are plenty of day use areas perfect for a day long getaway! Make sure to look for Sheep as they are all over the park. Located only a short drive from Vegas, this is a must see!

Cloudy C — Google review

This is one of my favorite parks in NV. This place is very unique, gorgeous, and different, with amazing rock formations and colors. On top of that, the hikes are nice and short and you can get easily achieve them in a day. I always pack a picnic basket with me to enjoy after a few hikes. Many picnic areas within the park. If you are lucky you will run into mountain goats. The visitors are fun to explore. They do have a water station you can refill your bottle. If you are not a fan of hiking then do the scenic drive. Also, the night skies here are awesome, especially on the full moon evening. You can get an annual state pass for $80 or else $10 for a day pass.

Kimberly P — Google review

I love this place as I feel it is magical and rejuvenates the spirit and soul. It is about an hour and forty five minute drive from Las Vegas and is a great 6-8 hour day trip from the city. I love to take visitors there as a surprise and they love it. As you near the park, cross grey brown desert, then suddenly drop into this red valley of incredible geological formation. I recommend you go in the earlier part of morning or later evening to get the best sun glow contrast on the valley rather than the bright of mid day. There are several hiking trails and a gorgeous educational visitor center. This is a great go to for children, families, and adults alike! A must see. A magical journey.Helpful Travel Safety Tips: Cell phone service is often spotty or nonexistent. When preparing for travel through desert terrain and roads I suggest you take the following: a topography map of the state, 1 gallon of water for each occupant, nuts/dried fruit, sunglasses, large brimmed hat, sunscreen, long sleeve shirt, long pants, close toed sneakers/hiking footwear, a roll of toilet paper with a good garbage bag (always pack out your trash), flashlight with fresh batteries, and a blanket. Also, I recommend that you get gas regularly, keeping above 3/4 of a tank as there are areas without gas for many miles between service stations.

C B — Google review

It's beautiful! All the red rock and sand is stunning.There are signs throughout the park that say, "You Might Die." Lol. No seriously there are! We were there in September. It was hot and dry. Hotter and dryer than you think, so definitely bring a cooler with ice and plenty of water. And mind your step. A woman accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake by us, and she nearly got bit. There is no cell service at the park, so it's best to be prepared. Enjoy the park! It is truly magical!*There is a restroom at the entrance to the State Park, and restrooms at the Visitors Center a few miles in the park. (No cell reception there either.)

Julie V — Google review

You have to experience a sunrise or sunset here to truly understand why they call it VALLEY OF FIRE.I’ve traveled the world, and can say with certainty- it’s one of the most beautiful desert experiences out there.That being said IT’S HOT- especially during the summer. As always, it’s important to remember to pack, dress and hydrate appropriately to ensure a great experience.Wearing shoes with thicker padding will help you traverse the shifting sand ground that lines the valley.Driving the loop is an experience in itself- but true happiness comes from taking a few moments to explore what’s behind some of the massive rock formations.Don’t leave without driving the scenic route around and beyond the visitor center.A mile or two up a steep incline drive, you’ll be welcomed by one of the most expansive and mesmerizing desert scenes that the west has to offer.If you’re a nature lover- bring a small pair of binoculars with you. Wildlife is abundant, and you’re guaranteed to see something interesting if you take a moment to search for it.Cheers, and Safe travels!!(Don’t forget to follow for more travel, dining and cultural immersion suggestions and reviews)✌🏽

I've been to Red Rock, too, but this was another level. The majority of the park just feels entirely otherworldly. Easy to navigate, and so many gorgeous places to explore and hike. Only $10 for admission too? I definitely want to go back to spend a whole day there. It really is that good!

Alec F — Google review

Really special place with some unique rock formations that you can't find anywhere else, especially the road that goes right through the canyon. You must drive through Mouse's Tank road and see the view, it's incredible. Next to the Rainbow Vista trail is a great spot to take photos of the road and the valley. Be prepared for high temperatures here and zero shade. If you're short on time you can definitely visit the different areas of the park in 1 day. I highly recommend you come here if you're around the Las Vegas area.

Eric Y — Google review

Extraordinary place! For all age group! Nice visitor center, plenty of spots to stop and hike, clean restrooms. Also, there is wildlife. We have seen lots of mountain goats. They are not concerned about cars. Be careful when driving.

This national park was a revelation. I haven’t heard much about it as compared to Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon but I was very surprised that this park is gorgeous, and super underrated!The views are spectacular, the sand stones come in different hues of red, pink and natural color. There are picnic areas and it can also be used to hold special events such as weddings!Would you believe there are petroglyphs in some of the rocks dating back 2,000 yearsI recommend you take the tour since there are a lot of anecdotes and stories that happened inside the park and they make for a deeper appreciation.We took the pink jeep day tour for 5.5 hours. Totally worth it!John our tour guide was very well versed with its history and he also imparted valuable information about the state of Nevada.There is a small visitor center to view exhibits, shop for souvenirs and a restroom stop.

Marvi Y — Google review

It’s Nevada’s oldest and largest state park, offering a variety of activities such as camping, hiking, picnicking, and photography. The park is also rich in history, with areas of petrified wood and 3,000-year-old Indian petroglyphs.The ideal time to explore Valley of Fire is during the fall, winter, or spring, as summer temperatures can be extremely high.There are numerous short hikes that allow you to see much of the park in a single day. The Fire Wave Trail is a popular hike, leading to a beautiful rock formation with colorful striations.Make sure to stop by the visitor center for more information and to view the interpretive displays

Mrs F — Google review

Definitely one of our favorite places in the USA! So beautiful with such unique hiking opportunities. Highly recommend on full moon nights! We’ve been here several times in a 37’ rv pulling a 22’ trailer - not easy- but definitely doable.

mattaniah — Google review

Beautiful state park, craggy and raw and interesting. Everywhere I looked, I saw faces because of the holes that are made naturally in the soil and mountains due to the material being eroded by rain and water.There are many vistas in the Valley Of Fire, each one holding its own beauty.It felt like I landed on another planet, I almost think that some alien and other planet fiction movies were probably filmed here.I highly recommend a visit here during the cooler months. I went just as Spring started so it was quite nice but I can imagine just how hot it can get as it goes nearer summer.

Anna M — Google review

Valley of Fire is an amazing stop to see the drastic landscape in Nevada. For Nevada residents it is a 10 dollar entrance fee out of state is 15 dollars and veterans get a dollar off. All roads were paved and it was not too crowded. The fire wave loop was a fun hike and not too strenuous. You can see big horns sheep and prong horns. See hirogliphics, petrified logs, beautiful sandstone formations and the reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, white, and purples in the formations. The visitor center has wonderful information about the park and a gift shop. There were restrooms at several stops in the park and picnic areas. When hiking in the desert be sure to come prepared with sun block, hats, water, and appropriate clothing for the season. This is a must do stop. Our whole family loved it. We made two stops in in one weekend first on Friday on our way to Zion and then on Sunday coming home. We just couldn't get enough of this park and hope to come back soon to explore more.

Fidele M — Google review

Absolutely gorgeous! There are so many great spots to stop at and trails to walk throughout the park. Washrooms were always decently clean but bring hand sanitizer because some don't have sinks!

Rach V — Google review

Such a beautiful park and so close to Las Vegas. We came during early May in the late afternoon, it wasn't too hot by the time we arrived. We only had time to do the Fire Wave and Seven Wonders loop. Highly recommend starting at the entrance of the loop as opposed to where people exit, as the trail is clearly marked in one direction. It was a bit harder to see the trail markers going the other direction.Would love to visit again to check out the other points of interest within the park.

Michelle K — Google review

My partner and I visited this national park, and it was so worth it. We loved that we were able to see a lot of it in half a day. We visited the elephant rock(hiked a trail around it), which is very cool, and then we drove back to see seven sisters and up to rainbow vista all the way up to Fire wave. I highly recommend hiking around fire wave because you will see some pastel looking rocks not far out.We visited in February, and weather was in the low 50's. They charge $15 for non-residents.

Athenas C — Google review

We came to the area to do a number of hiking trails. Grand Canyon was great. We went to the West rim, Red Rock was fantastic but visually we were in complete awe while visiting the valley of Fire. Once you enter the park, there are many trails you can go to and based on your physical capabilities, you can choose which one you would like to go on. This truly looked like we were in some sort of science fiction movie. Please make sure to bring plenty of water. Once you are on the trail, you'll want to continue the supplemental trails that loop you around. There is an admission price at the ranger station and here they will also give you a map. We downloaded maps online to have an idea before we got there. Enjoy.

This place is beyond beautiful! The colors of the rocks are amazing, especially on sunset/sunrise. This is my second time going. The first time it was cloudy with a little bit of rain here and there (early March). The second time was late April and was pretty sunny/hot. From my experience, the rocks looked better on a cloudy day.The only reason I gave it a 4 star was because this second time around, we made a reservation for a campsite. However, when arriving, a different family took our spot. Instead of the rangers taking that family out (since they did not pay to stay), they moved us to a different location. We did not pick this location. We really wanted to stay at the location we picked. So basically, anyone can pretty much take someone's spot, and rangers won't really do anything. They weren't even checking if the cars had an overnight tag.On the plus side, we did see wild longhorn sheep throughout some of our hikes and near the campsite.

Cristal R — Google review

Simply stunning. A must-see, world-class park. Competes with most any National Park and would totally deserve that recognition except it is on the compact side. In terms of beauty, it’s oversized. There are petroglyphs, fossils, great hiking trails and vistas, and a beautiful scenic drive throughout. Cannot recommend enough!

Jeff D — Google review

Valley of Fire was my absolute favorite park I visited in Vegas! We visited the first week of March and even though it was spring we had a nice temperature wise day it got to 67.It was so breath taking, around every corner is a different shaped and colored rock, I recommend going around sunset time, the rocks really pop with color and of course the sky does to!We got there a little late, we had about 2 hours until the sun set, which I thought they'd have security trying to get you out around that time but they don't. When we left no one was at the gate and no one was driving around the park trying to make you leave. So technically you could stay after dark, but I don't' recommend it lol. There is however a camp site in the park where people stay.Right as we we entered we saw wild Rams which was really cool!The gift shop was cute, they had a decent amount of souvenirs to buy.Overall I HIGHLY recommend taking the hour drive here you won't be disappointed!

ELOCIN R — Google review

This has been on my bucket list for years, and after finally visiting I sure know why it was on there!This park is incredible! I personally think it has aspects of Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands national park all in one! Very beautiful views especially when it is sunny! Hikes were fun and gave a sense of being off-trail without being too long! I was only able to explore the park for a few hours but I wish I could have spent a few days here!Crowds were minimal but that is to be expected during a weekday! I would guess this park is much busier on weekends. I did not have a problem finding parking but if it was a little busier it would start becoming a challenge to find parking.Overall I would definitely recommend this park and I will be coming back!

First time doing an ATV tour decided to do this with the group I was with when we traveled to Utah. We did the full day tour which was 5 hours with lunch provided plus all the gear. Even with a group of seven the tour was on the pricier end but overall we enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide gave us helpful information about the plants, desert, and names of the rocks. Riding on the sand dunes was by far my favorite part.

Cleidy H — Google review

This was an absolutely amazing experience! The UTVs are extremely fun to drive/ride in, the views were incredible and our guide Paul was awesome. We enjoyed every moment of it, the dunes, the sunset, the cliffs, and the best part of it, going to and from destinations and getting to ride the trails! Paul is a great teacher, guide and PHOTOGRAPHER. Some of the photos we got looked like we had paid someone hundreds or thousand for them alone. We scheduled our ride the day before and the office called us, gave us directions, everything was super easy to set up and it was an all around awesome and safe experience. Thank you!

ANTHONY W — Google review

We scheduled a guided tour through ATV & Jeep Adventure Tours for 2 - 4 wheelers for the sunset adventure which was 4 hours. We were extremely pleased by the guides and tour. We had a ton of fun and were overall very happy with our experience. We were not super pleased by the hidden fees for cancellation and didn’t actually see them until we had already paid and booked which is frustrating because we had no intention of canceling and canceling was never a thought and ended up costing us quite a bit of money. Other than that I would recommend to my friends and family but would make sure they found the place to avoid those extra fees.

Chase C — Google review

Stop reading reviews and just book your tour with this company. You will not be disappointed! We booked a full day tour(5 hours) and showed up not sure what to expect but our tour guide, Rhett, made sure our day was full of fun and adventure! He asked us questions about what kind of day we wanted and definitely delivered. We started with an easy trail ride with numerous stops at points of interest that Rhett was extremely knowledgeable about and provided tons of local information. We then spent time checking out the incredible rock formations at "Jurassic Park". We ended the day with some high-speed riding out on the massive sand dunes which was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Utah! We're already looking forward to returning and booking another tour!

Dave — Google review

Outstanding trip! We had 3 generations of family with a wide range of ages. We chose to mix ATVs and side-by-sides. The skill levels in our group ranged from riding / driving once to owning our own and riding regularly. Our guide, Danion, made sure everyone was comfortable at all times and tailored the tour to the group's abilities as confidence improved. The views and terrain are amazing and engaging enough to even make being a passenger enjoyable. We went on a weekday and it felt like we had the entire mountain to ourselves. Our equipment was very good and mechanically sound (something you can't take for granted with off-road rentals). Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful, courteous and professional. Thank you!

Todd S — Google review

We had the best time! We also did zip lining and cayoneering and 3 of 5 people said this tour was the most fun. There was a perfect mix of time in the UTV, time to learn about what we were seeing and time to climb on cool rock formations. We even got to see the sunset at the lake which was beautiful. Our guides were fun and knowledgeable. I was nervous about driving, but they gave instructions at the beginning and had a guide in the front and a guide in the back so you know you were good the whole time. I definitely recommend this tour.

If you’re heading through Hurricane, Utah you need to add this to your must-do list. Words can’t describe how awesome this tour is. We did the Half Day Adventure, views for miles, the rugged landscape and ever-changing terrain will leave you speechless. Our guides Paul and Bob were so awesome, we had such a great time with them! It was like we were out riding with friends. They were incredibly knowledgeable of the machines, the region and the terrain. It was an exhilarating experience we would do again in a heartbeat!

Errick was the best guide. My friend and I did a 4 hr ATV sunset tour with him and he was awesome. He provided plenty of water as the weather was HOT the first 2 hours and we never felt rushed during our stops along the way. He always made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. My best experience here in Utah for sure. Highly recommend🙌🏼

Kieran was the most amazing guide and we had an AWESOME afternoon! He made sure everyone stayed safe, but also let us go full throttle!! We can not say enough good things about this tour- beautiful scenery and one of the most fun things we did on our trip. Would recommend to anyone and everyone unless you hate fun 🙂 🙃

Katie B — Google review

This place is AWESOME. There aren’t any words to describe how much fun this trip is. I wanted to just go full throttle and go fast. Our tour guide talked to us(me) at the beginning and I was glad he did. There is absolutely no reason to rush. You won’t be able to take it all in at a snails pace. There are times and places to go crazy and have fun and Bob made sure we had those times. I’m sure all the guides are great but riding with Bob felt like riding with a friend I just hadn’t seen in forever. I was with my wife and it just felt like we were a group of friends. This is definitely a once in a lifetime thing. Take some pics but keep in mind, pictures don’t convey the beauty. Put the camera down and just enjoy the ride, the beauty and the company.

Wow. Top notch people. Top notch machines. Top notch state park with amazing dunes and views. Dave was funny, fast and knowledgeable. It was my wife and 3 kids in the 6 seater. We did the four hour sunset tour. So much fun. Worth every penny. The only negative reviews are from people who don’t show up or show up on time. These guys are true pros and I did a ton of research. Your search is over. Book it. You found the right place. Charlotte, NC.

I flew from the Midwest to here for this experience along with a few other activities in the surrounding area and let me tell you.. This is a one in a lifetime kind of experience/opportunity!! My tour guide was Dave and by the time our tour was over I left calling him papa Dave. Dave has years and years of experience so he is very knowledgeable of the machines and the routes we took. He is also just such a laid back guy and he let me have the time of my life safely doing so. He provided us all the appropriate gear, snacks, water, took pictures, and did little educational sessions during each break. His hospitality is truly unmatched, with that being said I will be returning to see him again in September. I also really enjoy the company itself. They take care of their machines, rotate them out every week for maintenance, etc. I’m just overall pleased and every single dollar that I spent was spent well! If you’re able, request Dave! Thank you ATV and Jeep adventures! I will be a returning rider!

The guides lead you to some of those most breath taking views. I felt super comfortable on my machine, with minor experience riding, getting to experience all kinds of variables to ride through. This tour has a good mix of faster and slower moments. The tour guides knew the area well, and told us the history of the area. 10/10 would recommend, was the highlight of our trip for sure! Shout out to Dave and Tyson our tour guides.

Best part of our trip! We went on a sunset tour for Valentine's Day. Our tour guide was Bob and he was absolutely fantastic! We had such a good time and saw so many beautiful views and a sunset.

We will be back again the next time we are in the area.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Book it and don't think twice. This was one of the most incredible family experiences we have had! We didn't want the tour to end. This tour is what life is all about, adventure and amazing views.Our tour guide Rhett made this experience unforgettable! He is a gem of a person!The best way to describe this experience is when my 7 year old daughter asked me an hour into the tour, "Daddy, how long does this last, because I could do this the rest of my life!"Thank you ATV Tours and Rhett for this incredible memory for our family!

Leslie I — Google review

Rett did an excellent job of explaining how to drive the ATV. Asked what kind of adventure we want and tailored the experience to our requests. Always kept our safety in mind. Jurassic Park was awe inspiring. Had fun ripping up the dunes. Would definitely come back for more tours!!!

Awesome tour. Our guide, Bob, was great and the riding was fun. We never would have found some of the areas where we rode without Bob’s help. Beautiful scenery. Will definitely do it again.

We did a 3 hour Sand Hollows tour. It is our first time in the area. From the time we booked till the end, we had the best experience. They were very safety oriented, provided detailed meeting instructions and had new vehicles in great condition.Our guide Rhett was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the area, and even about our natural surroundings. We couldn't have picked a better company to do this tour with!

Nature & Parks

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is a vast area spanning 1,200 acres that offers camping and is accessible to off-highway vehicles and dune buggies. The shifting dunes are of a unique hue that changes at sunset, providing a spectacular sight. Visitors can also enjoy sand sledding, which is comparable if not better than the experience offered by Great Sand Dunes National Park due to the shorter and easier walk.

So I’ve been to Great Sand Dunes National Park. Therefore I wasn’t expecting much from this place. Boy was I wrong. The dunes themselves are such a unique color. And if you go close to sunset, they seem to change color, which is spectacular. The sand sledding here was great. Perhaps just as good if not better than Great Sand Dunes due to the shorter and easier walk. Regardless, if you are in the area, make sure you stop.

Great place to visit. Both kids and adults can play in the sand. The sand is cool in the morning but heats up quickly. The sand is very fine and will get into your sneakers. It’s probably better to go bare foot.It’s pretty relaxed here and isn’t crowded. They only $10 for a regular vehicle to enter this park.There is a large picnic area to enjoy your lunch in the shade.They offer sled rentals too if you are interested.Pretty remote location so most cell phones won’t have service here.

A beautiful gem amid the more famous parks in the area that’s definitely worth your time & a visit! Even if you don’t have an OHV to cruise around on, there’s plenty to do and quietude to be found! I enjoyed a gorgeous sunset & sunrise from the higher dunes that are easily within walking distance from the parking lot. Renting a sand sled was a super fun way to explore the dunes - hiking up & sledding back down! Really enjoyed the gorgeous views, beautiful flowers and signs to learn more about this fascinating landscape.I tent camped in the park which was great! Trees for shade, soft ground, protected from the wind, clean facilities, hot showers, and nicely quiet.I’ll be back!!

Some of the best UTV riding I have ever experienced. Amazing views on every ride. We tended to ride the trails just outside the park, they were so much fun.

Tracey C — Google review

We had a great time at the dunes, can't wait to head back. My wife and I are from Hawaii. So this was the first time seeing sand dunes like these. I didn't know you could board down the dunes, but I did have my RC Crawler with me, and decided to take it out and have some fun. Got a few compliments. One lady even told me it made her day, well I'm glad to have been entertaining!

Jaaron J — Google review

This is a fairly small state park that is remote, so there are very few visitors. This is a very unique landscape and formation. It's worth the off-the-beaten-path drive and the $10 entrance fee.It was quite fun, but there was a lot of hiking in the sun, wind, and sand. Every step you take, you move back half a step. Take water out to the dune for sure. Sunglasses are a great idea to protect from the bright sun on the sand and the sand in the wind. A bandana to cover your face would be good, too. Sleds or boards are fun, but the hiking up the hill will exhaust you quickly.The sand is very fine and blows on the wind. It will get in everything, especially shoes. I recommend just wearing socks, so the sand doesn't collect, but your feet don't get burned. Earlier in the day is best due to heat.

Randy C — Google review

Great place. Great tour and tour guides. The RV park is equipped with firewood and ice and showers and restrooms, dumpsters, dump stations with fresh water to fill up. The sand and trails entrance is located right in the RV park. Many families on rented quads and sxs (side by sides) are also available for rent at the RV park.

Adam R — Google review

Great place for dune buggy rides and sliding on the dunes.This is a place to bring the kids and be active. However, if you just want to ride in the car and look you will be disappointed.The dunes are beautiful as is their surrounding.Be aware that if you're not in great shape you will have a hard time walking on the hilly dunes.There are bleachers where you can see the dunes without actually walking on them.

Ana B — Google review

Trip in and out was a bit bumpy but, enjoyable. Staff at gate were friendly and knowledgeable. Picked up permit to get my drone up in the air and we got some good overhead shots of those boarding down the dunes. Nice overlook with info plaques. Clean restrooms and nice camping sites. Only downfall was the pricing of ATV tours. I personally thought $160, for two for an hour ride, was a bit much. That's just me though. Overall, great visit for us.

Keith K — Google review

We were able to get a last minute camping spot here and really enjoyed our visit. We came in at night and Donna greeted us at the entrance and was a wealth of knowledge and extremely nice! It's refreshing to come across someone these days who loves what they do and is nice and helpful. She was great. We took amazing pictures of the stars at night and enjoyed the sand dunes to ourselves very early in the morning when the sand was cool and the sxs and atvs weren't allowed out yet. Such a beautiful place!

Chris W — Google review

Really nice sand. But - is it possible that everybody is abele to drive loud and fast over the sand dunes in (!) the park? Wouldn’t it be enough to allow that only outside? Prices in the park for all kind of rentals absolutely overpriced like in a typical tourist trap. Have never seen this before in a state park.

Andreas B — Google review

It’s not as expected, windy, and WAY too expensive. It’s was $40 to enter and rent a board for my son for an hour, and you have a pretty good haul on and off the dunes. They need beach showers. Worth it for my son because he has always wanted to snow board and was so determined that the wind, sand, and massive amount of energy it took crawling up hill didn’t bother him, but I think for many people it’s not.I didn’t board or sled because it would have cost another $25. And it just seemed really excessive at that point for what it is.

Having plenty of time on our hands before we got to Kanab which is a short distance from Zion, we went off route to visit Coral Sand Dunes State Park. A weird anomaly in the middle of the country, pink sand dunes shining in the sunlight. Not having research the place, and having to internet reception we couldn’t check anything so would rely on the rangers for information. Not to be. The person on the gate was most abrupt, not willing to give give information and impatient despite there being only us at the gate, it was basically ‘are you paying your $15 or you can drive straight on round and out’ which is what we decided to do! Stopping in a pullout by the roadside, we ventured down the trail and enjoyed viewing the sanddunes, watching a few ATVs kicking up dust in the distance.

Catherine S — Google review

It’s a little pricey for what it is. It’s just a bunch of sand. Not that colorful. If you have your own board or sled, it’s cheaper. I didn’t try it; mainly because I didn’t feel like walking up the hills over and over again. 🤣😂

Scott T — Google review

My family thoroughly enjoyed sledding on the dunes. Kids loved it. You can rent sleds at the visitor center and head out on the dunes. Walking on the dunes can be strenuous and will definitely feel like a workout after going up and down several times. Winds and flying sand should be expected. A great experience overall, and I would highly recommend visiting here.

Jason H — Google review

Gorgeous state park that is a fun little stop outside of our stay in Zion. I wish we had time for the sand boarding, but there was a storm approaching that had winds whipping pretty badly. We were still able to check out an area of the dunes that was public access and I enjoyed it. Would be an amazing place for a sunset view.

Max S — Google review

Experience the dunes for sledding, hiking, and nature. The red sand is stunning, especially with a dusting of snow. Dogs love playing here. Open year-round, best in spring, summer, and fall for milder temperatures.

TEA R — Google review

This is such a beautiful underrated park that doesn't come up at the top of attractions but it's definitely a must visit.It's so much fun to slide down the sand dunes and it's all very inexpensive; a $10 entrance fee and you can rent a sand board for $25.Bathrooms are scarce but there's lots of parking a cute little gift shop at the entrance.

Adriana P — Google review

Nice, family fun park with camping and can am rentals. Windy and cold when we visited on April 6th. Take warm layers, extra warm socks and shoes, maybe a toboggan and gloves for little ones.

Lisa M — Google review

It was cool to see. Visited in March and it was chilly and extremely windy. Sand made its way into my pores, socks and pockets. Would like to come back and sled when it is warmer.

Jessica G — Google review

We did the sunset tour. This was more fun than I thought it would be. Typically, I had mediocre experiences renting atvs, or white water rafting, etc or doing tours because they make you go slow and/or its too mild; but here we went pretty fast! It was exciting and sand-sledding and sand-boarding was fun!

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab is a renowned no-kill rescue center for domestic pets and farm animals. It offers volunteer opportunities and adoptions for those interested in giving these rescued animals a loving home. Located 5.5 miles north of Kanab, the sanctuary sits amidst over 33,000 acres of red-rock desert and boasts an impressive count of over 1700 horses, pigs, dogs, cats, birds and other creatures on-site.

This place will fill your heart and make you want to empty your pockets 😂 The work they're doing with animals and doing for animals is a dream. No kill USA by 2025 🤩 The sanctuary is full of peace and hope and beauty. The tours are super interesting and picking up a volunteer shift is even better! We visited once for a day and within a year were back for a week of joy and service. The kinds of people who love animals like this also treat humans with welcome & affection. This place is magic.

If you are an animal lover this place is a bucket list destination! I've visited the Welcome Center, purchased swag and made regular donations for years - we finally stayed on-site and volunteered! The staff are super helpful and love to share their commitment to the sanctuary - how they got there is a bonus! The property is beautiful and serene. We stayed in a cottage and it was nicely appointed - the beds were comfy and the space made for sleepovers with bunnies and a cat easy to do activities! I highly recommend a visit to the Sanctuary.

What a delightful place. Friendly welcome, have details of the next tour available which we decided to take. It was the pigs and goats and Sergio was informative in an easy listening manner. Nice drive around the road , someone was setting up for a wedding at the amphitheatre , what an amazing setting for a wedding!!Stoped at the Village cafe and had a great tasting lunch, with friendly staff and great views from the outside seating area.

Best friends animal sanctuary is my heaven. My family and I visited this incredible sanctuary over Christmas break. First off it is absolutely gorgeous. They have cabins, cottages, or RV spots that you can rent on the campus. There is also their roadhouse that is just a few miles away. We stayed at the roadhouse this time but have booked our next visit at the cottages. We were able to do free tours and visit with many incredible babies. Our next visit we are doing volunteer work and arranged for a sleepover for a sanctuary pet which I’m so excited about. There is so much to explore and so many animals to meet. They have pigs, goats, horses, bunnies, kitties, a variety of birds. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The work they do there and for all animals is inspiring and beautiful. Upon my return home I have started volunteering in my community. I can’t wait to go back and plan to make this at minimum a yearly visit. Thank you Best Friends for your beautiful hearts and beautiful work.

I wasn’t expecting much, I was so impressed! We arrived and they gave us a map of the property and asked if we wanted to join the last tour, but come to find out we had one to many in our group. So they gave us an explanation of what was available and closing times. We stopped at the horse barn and got out to look around. We were told at the visitor center not to go up to the fencing, but as we walked towards the enclosed one of the volunteers, Bree, greeted us and asked my kids of the wanted to pet some horses. She walked us around and told about the horses, my kids got to pet a few who we’re comfortable around people (and one the loved children). I smiled the entire time myself and really enjoyed every single moment! Then we went to the adoption center and the kids played with the kittens and got to pet some dogs. Smiles all around again! Then we took the trail to hidden lake and that was enjoyable as well. Be aware most of the volunteers leave around 4, so it might be open until 5, but if you want to meet some adorable cats and dogs and maybe be lucky to meet Miss Bree and get a tour of the horse area arrive by 2 pm. Also even though it is free please donate to this amazing organization!

The tours are the absolute best thing to do if you want to see how everything is done and get a lot of amazing information about animals! Not to mention you can take home anyone you fall in love with If you're ready for a new family member!Volunteering is hard work but well worth it. A great way to get a glimpse of the back end of the animal rescue industry!

Amazing place to visit, take the free guided tour.. adopt a dog, cat, bird, rabbit! So many different kinds of animals. Such wonderful caring volunteers! Great people! You can take the dogs for a walk or if you are staying at one of their hotels you can take a dog for a sleepover!! Please go visit it will not disappoint

My best friends and I were on our 50th birthday celebration trip to Zion National Park and decided to take the Grand Tour of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. It was so much fun! This place is amazing. Six thousand acres dedicated to saving animals! We were able to visit with dogs, cats, pigs, goats, and tour the entire beautiful sanctuary. Our tour guide was wonderful and all of the volunteers and staff were so helpful and full of great information. I wish we could have taken some of the animals home with us. If you are in the area, I highly recommend a tour!

Rene R — Google review

This place is the mothership of the No-Kill Shelter movement. The Sanctuary has to be seen to be believed; words and even photos cannot convey the vibe, the overall serenity providing the context in which seemingly never ending activity occurs, caring for the animals, the staff and the volunteers. This was our fourth year driving out from FL and staying in the beautiful on-site RV park. Full hookups, level concrete pads, breathtaking views and you can hear yourself think. No cable and no on-air TV channels and the free WiFi doesn’t support streaming however most sites are perfect for Starlink. Rates are very reasonable and the water is delicious. We had an issue with our shore power cord this visit and Joe, the manager. Went above and beyond, after hours, to get us running until we could get to Las Vegas and buy replacement parts. He wouldn’t even let us buy him a cup of coffee, let alone lunch. And everyone is like that here: Deb at Dogtown, Mileen at Roxie’s Room, all the folks at Mercantile - everyone! We love this place (could you tell?)

Doug C — Google review

Very Clean! There is a van with free guided tour. The Sanctuary holds many different animals that are up for adoption. The animals have been chipped, vaccination, & spayed/ neutered.Petting the animals is allowed & they can always use volunteers!

Beautiful place, the tour was excellent. They do a wonderful job taking care of the animals. The animal cemetery was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. All the wind chimes hanging from the trees made it so calming and beautiful. The scenery is breath taking.The staff was so great and caring. Recommend a place to visit.

Very kid friendly. We did the tour and learned so about the facility and what it stands for. Got to pet some cats and pigs. We wanted to let some dogs but it's a different tour for that. We did go to Roxy's place and got to pet some dogs. Love this place and would recommend going or just donating!

Beautiful location for an animal sanctuary and what this organization has accomplished is both amazing and outstanding. Worth stopping for one of the tours and taking a look at what they have to offer, especially if you're in the market to adopt a furry friend. The campground and cottages looked inviting, although I did not stay there.

Kathleen H — Google review

Such a lovely place! Beautiful views, well-kept grounds, and most importantly, clean facilities for the animals. We signed up for Grand Sanctuary tour and it was absolutely wonderful. Anne, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and funny. I hadn't heard of this place prior, but after, my friend and I are discussing coming back to volunteer and try lunch at their cafe.

I have been to Best Friends in Kanab Utah two times. There was 3 of us we stayed 3 days in one if their cottages. This place is is awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful and loved the animals they were caring for. The whole place is very clean and it's all for the animals❤. It is a big place lots of acreage, beautiful landscape. The deer are everywhere. I volunteered with the cats. Love this place and I will be back. Thank You!

Amazing delicious $5 Vegan lunch served between 1130-1pm. The most beautiful overlook outside terrace seating was available to us. The staff was friendly and all for a good cause - so cough up a big donation to help our helpless fluffy friends. We bought the cookbook to take as a souvenir.

What an amazing experience! We found this on a road trip and are so happy we stayed at their campground & visited. Driving around the sanctuary/canyon is beautiful! We volunteered for a day at the parrot area which was great. We loved their visitor center store… so many cute things. We are already planning on returning next year! Highly recommend stopping by if you are passing through the area. A must stop for any animal or nature lover.

Hiking Trails

Angels Landing is the most popular peak in Zion National Park, and for good reason. Its a steep climb up to stunning views of the valley below. The trail is challenging and strenuous, but well worth it to get those amazing views.

Here's why this is the ideal hike. Much of this hike is paved with many switchbacks and beautiful views the entire way. The view at the top, before the chains is spectacular. So if you don't win a lotto spot for the chains, this portion is definitely worth the hike.The chains portion was was fun and the additional views are certainly worth it, but honestly, the chains portion is more about the adventure than the views.

Steve C — Google review

On St Patrick's day we had the luck of the Irish and won the lottery to hike Angels Landing in Zion NP! My wife was too scared to hike the dangerous/best part. But my son and I did it, and the dangerous hike was well worth it for the amazing views!!! This is so far the best hike we've ever hiked!

Brian H — Google review

The hike is beautiful, but not for the faint of hearted. The scouts trail up is strenuous but doable uphill, and angels landing you need to be very careful. The whole experience is amazing though, definitely worth it.

Jaro F — Google review

This is the most beautiful and exciting hike I've ever done. You can do the full thing in around 4 hours. It looks scarier than it actually is and it's not difficult. Just be very careful to not slip on the sections without chains. You also need to get a permit (can apply the day before).

Kenzo M — Google review

Nice trail, a little scary on the chain section but not that bad if you have good hiking experiences! The view is nice all the way on the chain section, but watch out if you plan to take pictures.

Shumin G — Google review

Such a beautiful hike. It is strenuous but with the views. Much of the path is paved so easy to walk on. Must register ahead of time if you want to be able to hike to the top portion of Angels landing where the trails are more narrow and they have chain to help you pull yourself up.

Anthony S — Google review

Absolutely gorgeous! A strenuous hike that's worth it when you get to the top! It was a bit icy and dicy so only got as far as the 3rd set of chains but still amazing!

G J — Google review

Hiking Angels Landing in Zion National Park was an unforgettable adventure for me. The trail started with a challenging climb up Walter's Wiggles, a series of steep switchbacks offering glimpses of the stunning Zion Canyon below. The highlight of the hike was the nerve-wracking but exhilarating narrow ridge leading to Angels Landing, where chains provided much-needed support along the sheer cliffs. Reaching the summit rewarded me with a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view that left me in awe. It's an absolute must-do for anyone seeking both adventure and the beauty of nature.

Megan — Google review

How I've done this twice now is beyond me - I'm terrified of heights! Just hold onto the chains tight, be patient as people back up in either direction, and try to focus on the trail in front of you (instead of looking down). This trail isn't necessarily challenging physically, just mentally, especially on the trip back to the trailhead.

Katie C — Google review

Just did this trail right before the lottery went into effect. It was amazing!!! A bit scary for January as there was ice and snow on the trail. Some yak tracks helped in those places. This is worth the hike. My 11 yr old son and made it to scouts landing in about 45min of steady walking then it took another hour to make it up to the peak. In Jan there was not as many people as I've been told are there in the summer. Take your time and be respectful of those going up and down. There are plenty of passing locations that are wide enough to wait for a group to move through. The wiggles are pretty icy right now (in Jan) so stick to the edges and walls.

Scot C — Google review

This is one of the most beautiful but challenging hikes in zion national park. This is a moderate to hard trail mostly due to the elevation changes and the switch backs to ascend to the start of the final ascent where the chain portion starts. You will need a permit to hike past scouts landing, which is where the chain section starts. There are a few spots on this section that are a bit intimidating. There are a number of spots that are a vertical climb with the chain, which I would advise people to take it slow and steady. The challenge is definitely worth the destination as you get a beautiful view of the park. I would HIGHLY recommend that you go early if you have that permit. We had a permit for before 9am. We got there around 7:30 which was the perfect time. Past 9am there were a lot more people hiking it which made the already daunting trail even more intimidating. If you aren't afraid of heights, this is definitely worth the hike.

Lindsey S — Google review

Wow! What a rewarding feeling when you complete this hike. If you have problems with heights, definitely avoid. Definitely on the moderate to difficult end from a hiking perspective. It’s about 2 miles of a fair ascent to get to the final difficult portion where you have portions you will use a chain for steady climbing with drops on both sides of you. Bring water and good shoes. Also, make sure you get your permit to be able to attempt the hike. The views at the end are amazing. Worth the hike. Highly recommend.

Cliff R — Google review

Angels Landing was amazing. During your trip give yourself time to participate in the lottery for going on the angels landing trail. If you don’t win the lottery you can’t go on the full trail, but the view from even there is awesome. Bring water. There are some interesting turns, and amazing views as you go up, so take time to look around.

Russell I — Google review

What a ripper of a hike! Absolutely loved it!The weather was great in early March 2024, dry and sunny. Make sure you bring your ID and get a permit for the hike. They do check it on the entrance to the hike. The checked me twice in fact, at the bottom of the hike, right after I got off the bus, and right before the Angels Landing hike itself. Bring snacks, bring water, sunscreen/sunglasses, and some layers just incase. You are in the mountains, so the weather does change.Don’t bring a massive pack with you. Angels landing hike is a bit triply at times, very very open. A great challenge if you are afraid of heights 😉😉 (like I am)I loved the hike up too. The formations are beautiful, the views are great, the path is very well maintained.It was already pretty busy on the hike, so may be try going in earlier in the day. Although note that if your permit is for midday, you won’t be able to start the Angels Landing portion until midday.Buses in Zion start running from early March until late November. This Bus is free. Comes every 5ish minutes.If in doubt on the way down, scutch on your bum for safety :) when looking around on your hike at the top, make sure you are grabbing onto something, because it can get very disorienting and dizzying being so high without anything around on top of a cliff face from both ends.Lots of cute chipmunks on the way up too! Watch out as they may get in your bags for snacks, if your bag is open/not attended.There are bathrooms at the bottom of the Angels Landing/at the Scouts lookout.Overall the sign at the bottom says that the hike can take you from 3-4 hours, which is representative. Depends how quickly you are willing to go through the height section, very open section at the top (a little technical). Also, how often you stop to take photos. I know someone who has done the whole thing in 2 hrs return, however they had no one around (no waiting on people in line), they did not take any photos/videos (as they were doing a PB), and they were not afraid of heights (so they moved super quickly), plus super fit ofcourse.

I was invited to hike Angel's Landing by my sister and it didn't disappoint. Not an easy trek, especially since I don't typically do that sort of thing, but well worth it and it's an experience I'll never forget.

Phil G — Google review

One of the more challenging and unique hikes I’ve ever done but the panoramic view at the top and satisfaction for completing such a challenging hike makes it all worth it. The most dangerous aspect of this hike is the other hikers but thankfully there was a ranger present to check permits to keep the crowd size to a safe maximum. I thought coming down from Angels Landing was actually more fun than ascending because you can kind of repel down the chains backwards.

Brandon H — Google review

Great hike. Little over 5 miles out and back. You will need a permit to go to the top of Angels Landing. If visting in winter, you will need some type of ice cleats or microspikes. Switchbacks were some decent incline. Go early to avoid waiting around some of those chain areas.

Randy N — Google review

The view at the top is worth the hike up. Steep switchbacks before being exposed to vertical drops on both ends until you reach the summit. It's definitely a memorable hike to say the least. But you'll have to ballot for the permit so remember to do that. And go early to avoid the crowd!

Even if playing the lottery can get a little annoying, hang in there! It is worth it!If you are in decent shape, you can hike this; it’s really not as grueling or scary as some make it out to be! I did it at the end of my first trimester. Have confidence :) I saw all ages of people on this hike that made it to the top. Although, I can see you having an issue if you’ve got a bad fear of heights; at some points, the climb is vertical and it gets steep.It is a really fun journey to get up there and you will feel accomplished and happy that you did it.You will also see cool condors and aggressively cute chipmunks that aren’t shy to beg for your snacks.If I were to do it again, I’d pack a lunch to eat at the top.Pack plenty of water and wear sunscreen! Wear decent shoes though for sure. I wore a pair of Brooks Glycerins and did just fine.

The scariest and the most spectacular hike I've done...twice. It will be like nothing you've done. I think it's a must when visiting Utah, though you definitely need to be in good shape, both for the long hike in and for the hike UP. Those with knee issues would want to wear braces or tape. Poles would help some, for sure.

The Narrows is a popular, scenic slot canyon hike in Zion Canyon that offers an adventurous experience for hikers. The trail involves wading through ankle to waist-deep river passages, jumping into sandstone swimming pools, and some rock scrambling. It can be accessed from either the Riverside Walk at Temple of Sinawava or Chamberlain Ranch for a full canyoneering adventure.

9 mile out and back hike up the virgin River. Unforgettable waterfalls and rock formations. Seeing sunlight filter through snow melt from the rocks is a unique experience. If you pay close attention you can see a number of small springs bubbling up into the river, and openings to larger cavities in the rock. Definitely recommend getting waterproof bibs and shoes for rent in the March-April season. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

This is a difficult hike but extremely rewarding. This may have been the best most unique hike of my life no joke. it is hard to see the rocks and it's easy to slip, but you get used to it after 45 minutes or so. Know you limits and do not rush. We did the whole trail that you don't need a permit for and it practically took all day but it was amazing. Go Early to avoid the crowd and the heat! Trust me this is worth waking up early for. Get the rental gear too if you can. My feet are usually always cold but these neoprene boots kept my feet warm the whole time! This is a once in a lifetime hike and scenery to do with the ones that you love! Have fun!

Finally walked the Narrows. It was so much fun! We went in mid September, and the weather was perfect! The water temperature was mild, and you can wear shorts and water shoes. Make sure you bring walking sticks!Enjoy and have fun!

If you're looking for a phenomenal hike!! Start with this hike. Early morning, it could take from one hour to 4 or 5 hours. It all depends on the distance you want to travel.Be careful with the rocks. You definitely need two sticks, if possible. It helps you balance yourself. As you're walking through the Rocky River.The views are amazing breathtaking!! 👏 Something you have to see for yourself with your own eyes I highly recommend it.

Rosie M — Google review

What a fun family hike in the river, and what awesome cuts through the sandstone! The water was cold, yet was about 2.5 feet deep at most at end of May. Having two trekking poles (as opposed to just one) and wading sandals/watershoes with decent tread really helped with stability in the river. The morning air/breeze was cold, so windbreaker jackets are recommended at the very least! Some of the best, most fascinating portions of the hike were right before arriving at Orderville Gulch - definitely worth the trek!

Brian B — Google review

A must do when in Zion. Once you get to the parking area there is about a 1 mile nice paved walk. Thereafter, the hike starts to involve walking in cold water and in some instances there are strong currents. It's a very nice and unforgettable experience.

Eric L — Google review

Hike of a lifetime! Went in mid-October with my siblings. Rented gear from Zion Guru (a must) as water temps in The Narrows were in the 40's. The gear allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking sights for as long as daylight would permit. Water was relatively low...except for "the hole" about .2 of a mile into the hike. I'm 5'3" and the water was chest deep on me.

Bonnie H — Google review

This is one of the most epic hikes - but there are many things to consider so that your hike is enjoyable and safe. Information below will be for a bottom up hike (out and back) that does not require a permit.Gear: The Narrows can be hiked year round. In colder months, you want to be sure to get the appropriate gear so that your core body temperature does not drop. We rented waders, water shoes, neoprene socks, and a walking stick from Zion Outfitters. This kept us warm when hiking in March. The stick was such a valuable part of the gear because it is challenging to find solid footing at times when walking through the river. The stick helps you to maintain balance. *You can pick up your gear after 4 on the day before your hike so you can start early the next morning.Water: You will need to pack in your own water. The water in the Virgin River is not potable due to cyanobacteria.Parking: From mid-March to October, the park runs a shuttle bus from the visitor center to the Temple of Sinawava (the stop for The Narrows). If the shuttle is not running, you will have to drive to the parking lot at the Temple of Sinawava. Due to limited parking - get there very early (before sunrise) to get parking. You can rest in your car once you have a spot. If you arrive late, you. will have to park up the road at other roadside spots, and. this will add additional miles to your hike.Distances: From the Temple of Sinawava, you begin walking on the Riverside Walk Trail. This is an easy, paved path for approximately 1.5 miles. At the end of this path, stairs lead down to the river. At this point, you will begin walking in the river. The water can get waist deep (or higher). Check with the park rangers before doing The Narrows because flash flooding can be dangerous.You can walk as far as you want and then turn around to return to the Temple of Sinawava. If you want to see Wall Street (where the canyon becomes narrrow), you will need to walk approximately 2 miles once you enter the water at the end of The Riverside Walk Trail.

Amazing hike, but crowded as f.I've done the Narrows "top-down" a couple times, and THAT is a beautiful hike. You spend the first three quarters in complete solitude, and it's really beautiful and peaceful. Magical.But hikers from the bottom of the canyon are able to hike up to Big Spring without a permit, and after this point (coming down) it becomes increasing busy, and by the last mile or so before the Temple of Sinawava it becomes extremely crowded. This is perhaps the most spectacular section, so most people get to see it, but few get to enjoy it because you spend more time navigating around other hikers than you do marvelling at the incredible scenery.Zion Narrows is perfect for tourists, but I'd advise real adventurers, and anyone looking for a little solitude, to go for the top-down, or to look elsewhere. The top-down is limited by permit, and is said to be a "minimum 10 hour" hike. But this old fat man did it easily in six and a half including the mile-long Riverside Walk to the shuttle, which is not generally considered part of the hike.As for practicalities, the bottom up hike is almost entirely in the river. Choice of footwear makes a big difference. I've done it top down in the river boots you can rent in Springdale, and these are perfect - great grip, warm and lots of support. But I've also done it bottom up in FiveFIngers and barefoot - and if you are a confident walker - it's perfectly doable. The rocks in this lower part are a little more slippery than further up the river, so be careful, but they are not very slippery. A stick helps with balance when you are choosing your footing in the river's faster flowing sections, a trekking pole works OK, but the stout wooden sticks provided by the Narrows Outfitters are even better.

We did the first mile of The Narrows trail with our 13, 12 and 3 year old (she was in a carrier) and it took my breath away with the beauty. This is a must do if you're visiting Zion. There were people of all fitness levels and ages on the path. I'll be back to do the full hike someday!

Shevon Q — Google review

There are a few things you need to know before doing this hike. This is a difficult hike but extremely rewarding.-listen to the weather reports as it can be dangerous in heavy rain downpours-go early to avoid the crowd and the heat! You can start later in the day in summer but parking is very tricky 😏-get the rental gear and walking stick, (the neoprene boots will keep your feet warm)- bring dry bags, the water can be above thigh to waist high, protect your electronics only bring water and foodSome hikers choose to go barefoot and not use walking sticks BIG MISTAKE!! They undoubtedly will fall and get frustrated, don’t be that person! Be smart and rent the recommended gear. Some areas the waters can get up to waist high level, strong currents, and slippery rocks. Some of these rocks are hard to see and it's easy to slip, but you get the hang of it after 30 minutes or so. Know your limits take it slow, you will be fine. You will see people of all fitness levels and ages on the path. This trail will take you all day to complete. Enjoy and have fun!

Went in August 2023 water was refreshing surprisingly not cold. Lots of rocks under water , having a stick was useful. I hired the socks and shoes at Zion Park , the socks and shoes stopped the sand getting in and were very comfortable. I saw many wearing there normally hiking shoes and a few in water shoes. 2.5 litres of water was enough. I could go to very end after big rock as I didnt have a dry bag and you had to swim.

Leah R — Google review

The best hike i ever experienced!!!We took the bus from the visitor center in zion park and were droped at the entrance of the narrows. We walked aprox 10 min to get there and on the way we saw wild deer and squirels. Once you reach the entrance you better have water shoes. The views were breathtaking and the whole experience is out of this world. I would highly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for an amazing and unique hike!

Nikolas K — Google review

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!I have been wanting to do this hike for years! Finally went for it! I will say I was not prepared for the water to be as cold as it was!!!!!! Brrrrrrr........next time I will definitely wear a wet suit! It was 102 degrees but the water is almost all located in the shaded areas and it makes it that much colder! But it was by far soooooooo much fun! We git up super early to do this and secured a good parking spot at the visitors center and when we went out it was already starting to pack with people but it was so much fun!

Very scenic place. One of the most sought out place in zion natuonal park. Very busy place. You can get here only by park shuttle from visitor center.

Best hike ever. We went in July and the water was a little brown, it wasn’t clear as shown in other pictures. The hike was moderate, my kids really enjoyed it becuz they got to walk in the water. We started from the entrance and walked for 3 hours to the tributary then walk back for another 3 hours.

Canyons

The Kolob Canyons in Zion National Park are a series of red rock canyons that offer great views. They're accessible via a scenic drive or a hike, and there are plenty of trails for hiking if the crowds are thick.

Visited Kolob Canyon today. A lot of bang for the buck. Great scenic drive through the canyon…beautiful! Hiked a short hike at the end of the road 1.2 miles round trip, Timber Creek Overlook trail, well worth it. Then on the way out hiked the Taylor creek trail, two settler cabins and great views of soaring mountains. About 5 miles round trip. Love this place!

Honestly one of my favorite parts of my Utah Trips. Easy trails, beautiful scenic drives all the way to the top of a viewpoint. Great place for families too!

Brad Y — Google review

This is such a great addition to Zion National Park. Zion has two parts, the huge, heavily populated side (totally worth going to) and this side. You can really get a great appreciation of the landscape in a short amount of time here. It is also much easier to get to, since it is just an exit off the highway and you are there. We went to the other side of Zion one day, and visited this one on the way back from Bryce Canyon NP. We didn't do any trails, but this would definitely be the way to go if you are short on time, or if have small children. We loved Zion, but the easier trails we were sticking too were heavily populated and are used as a connector trail to get to some of the harder and more popular ones. So we felt like we were in others way going at our small children walking pace. Kolob would have probably been a better place to family hike. The drive alone is spectacular. At the top there is a nice infographic with the elevations of the mountains listed. It's pretty humbling to see the thousand feet differences in the mountains right in front of you, giving you a better idea just how huge the cliffs are.

Nathalie L — Google review

Just off of I-15 and only a 5 mile road that have some wonderful vistas. We happened to go on a day that had snowed. The snow added to the contrast of the red rocks. There is a $35 National Park fee. We were lucky we have a National Park pass.

This is the northern section of Zion. However, it is about an hour away from the main entrance.The best part is it is just as scenic and is NOT crowded!We included it on our plans as we were driving from Bryce back to Las Vegas.The road is a very short drive to the end and there is a one mile hike that ends in a very scenic view of the entire canyon! Definitely worth the extra hike.There is also a very nice shaded picnic area at the end of the road with latrines.We spent about two hours which allowed us just enough time to see it.There are several hiking trails that are available if you really wanted to experience the area.I am glad we stopped by!

Michael H — Google review

The Lee Pass trailhead comes out to about 15 miles round trip, recommended for some amazing scenic views of the north side of Zion National Park. The wind can get pretty bad and the arch is (sort of) underwhelming as it doesn’t protrude as much and is hard to see. Beautiful hike

Kolob Canyons is a great, 5-mile scenic drive through Zion’s National Park! There are lots of good trails for hiking, but also plenty of spots to just pull off and enjoy the view. They have nice bathrooms at several of the trailheads.Also, there wasn’t hardly any traffic when I went, which was especially surprising for a nice, summer evening.

The Play That Goes Wrong had our whole family in stitches (21-80yrs old)! 🤣 If you've seen Noises Off, it was a similar vibe. The comedic timing was perfect! Highly recommend!

I loved the art that I saw artists had for sale. I did buy one. Most impressive was a sculpted Bull made of . I rated this 4 stars because I know we have more artists in the area and I encourage them to display their talent. Don't be shy. There was a one-man band that had a wonderful voice, and played the guitar with amplifier. He had his own recordings on record and I believe CD for sale. He also took donations which people gladly put his jar. There was a four-man band on the front patio area of SUMA. I was impressed with the drummer. I was not able to stay for the Green Show and sorry I missed it.

Lawrence M — Google review

I have enjoyed each of the plays very much! A Raisin in the Sun was my favorite this year, but the voices on those in Emma were incredible! The Play that went wrong was hilarious (the actors need mics) and, of course, Romeo and Juliet was brilliant! I highly recommend anyone come to these plays!

Melissa W — Google review

I love the Utah Shakespeare Festival. It played a part in my decision to move to southern Utah, because the arts are very important to me.First of all, the setting is amazing. Cedar City is surrounded by forests and large hills, and the views are wonderful. The campus of SUU, where the festival is located, is very pretty, with gardens to wander through, and statues to look at. There is an art museum close by, and the theaters (there are more than one) are visually appealing.Every production I have ever seen has been top-notch, and King Lear was no exception. Anthony Heald played the title role, and he was superb. The rest of the cast was wonderful too.If you are ever in southern Utah during the summer or early autumn, I recommend that you take a day to come up and see a play. The festival is an easy drive from Zion or Bryce National Parks, and there are some good restaurants in town as well.

High-quality plays, some of the most amazing set design I've ever seen, with plenty of options for plays/musicals and areas. Diverse roles, and modern plays along with Shakespeare. There is also the free Greenshow and some great food along nearby roads.

George P — Google review

World-class theatre - especially of the Shakespearean kind. Originally established by Fred Adams, the USF in Cedar City has become well known for its numerous Shakespearean productions. However, other plays, musicals, and theatrical productions are staged in the various halls on campus. Prior to the heavy-hitting shows, there is also a Green Show performed by up-and-coming talent in the outdoor stage to the east. There is also refreshment and food for sale, and there are two very nice gift shops. We love this place and have been in the audience enjoying various productions for many years.

Kerry M — Google review

We saw Emma the musical and honestly I wasn't looking forward to it. (Plays turned into musicals can sometimes be weird) It was wonderful! The stage was very minimal but worked. Costumes fit the period. And the acting superb! The adaptation was well done, the songs interfaced very well and I liked it better than the movie. I highly recommend!

Laurie S — Google review

USF had outdone itself this year! All five plays we saw were amazing. A Raisin in the Sun was extremely thought provoking and week done. A Mid Summer Night's Dream was an explosion of colors and characters. The Play that Goes Wrong was a technical and comedic marvel. Romeo and Juliet was refreshingly clear throughout and shocking at times. And Emma the Musical was as bubbly as advertised and dare I say, better than the book. We took a long time deliberating which we liked best and it was a tie between Emma and Raisin. Wish we could've seen Timon of Athens and Coriolanus, but they'll open later. Definitely worth seeing again. They will give $10 off per ticket this season with this code (seminar23).

We have made going to the Utah Shakespeare Festival a yearly tradition for our family because it is so amazing! It's a great weekend trip! There is little wonder it has won many awards and is regarded as one of the best Shakespeare festivals in the country. Every single play we have seen there has been outstanding! The venue is gorgeous with both indoor and outdoor theaters, very traditionally Shakespearian and modern. Their Shakespeare plays are incredible but I also recommend watching some of their other shows which are also of the highest quality. "Pirates of Penzance" and "Clue" had us laughing the entire time and even my 8 year old daughter loved every second.

The Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City is an absolute gem for theater enthusiasts! I had the pleasure of attending a performance there, and it was a truly magical experience. The outdoor setting adds a unique charm to the productions, and the talented cast brings Shakespeare's timeless works to life with passion and skill. The festival's commitment to quality shines through in every aspect, from the captivating performances to the stunning costumes and set design. The friendly staff and beautiful surroundings make it a memorable cultural event for all. If you're looking for a delightful blend of classic theater and natural beauty, this festival should be at the top of your list.

One of the places you must see before you die! Not sure if I'd attempt to bring children, the trail is narrow to the end point and even some if the adults doesn't attempt it. Very beautiful views. We found it making our trip and decided to stop on - worth the detour to see.

Cannot recommend this place enough, it's just gorgeous. Fairly easily accessed from the highway, though the drive north gets pretty steep, so keep that in mind if you're in a camper or have a trailer.I had no idea about this place until I was planning a road trip in the area, and we thought we'd drop by. So glad we did, because it's amazing. Stunning views and a well-laid out road. The visitor center is basically a gift store and bathroom stop.

Cedar Breaks is an amazing place to hike. The south side trail takes you to Spectra Point and Rampart Overlook. The visitor center is now closed for reconstruction, and parking is limited. But there were not many people present on a weekday, so there were parking spaces available.The views of the amphitheater along the trail are amazing. The pine forest, wild flowers and bristlecone pines along the adjacent south hills present a beautiful contrast to the bright red amphitheater.A warning, however, you are at 10,000 feet elevation, so you may at times find yourself out of breath. So pace yourself, particularly returning from Rampart Overlook and Spectra Point, which has a lot of uphill sections. Just pause a bit and take in the beautiful scenery.One nice aspect, Cedar Breaks is at about 10,000 feet elevation. So you avoid the excessive heat current being experienced at lower elevations in southern Utah. Still, make sure to take plenty of water.One of my favorite southern Utah hikes.

This “smaller” National Park is a gem that is often overlooked. Probably one of the most scenic and beautiful parks that I have ever seen with a deep canyon, plenty of hiking trails, and expansive overlooks that are easy to reach from the roadside, or after a short hike.We arrived at the park on a clear day with plenty of sunshine and the views were absolutely amazing! You could literally see for 40 miles or so, and the mountain ranges all around were visible.Definitely stop to see this park on a clear day when you are visiting the other more popular parks in Utah!

What a beautiful place. Easy access although due to a current construction the traffic going up there and coming back it was slow. The views are fantastic. Walking trails offer nice views as well.

Cedar Breaks National Monument. It’s beautiful. The drive is amazing. Views are spectacular and easily accessible. Only a very short walk to the vistas. It was very windy at that elevation. We were standing at over 10,000 feet, it was cool and windy. Be sure to take the time to see this sight - you won’t regret it - BEAUTIFUL! Great views and hiking trails. Doesn't get many visitors even in peak season. Well worth a visit. A small version of Bryce Canyon.

Cedar Breaks is a gorgeous park located roughly midway between Zion and Bryce. In my several visits it seems to be much less busy than the other two parks and well worth a visit for the incredible views and the fact that’s it’s a beautiful drive to get there. We were surprised to find pockets of snow still there in late July, coexisting with the wildflowers blooming in the high altitude meadows. I would imagine accessibility could be an issue in the winter.

A little hidden gem that is worth the trip to. It has a new Visitor Center that will be open soon. A small camping ground that has a few trees but is near the peak, so it will be a bit windy. A pavilion just before the campground with picnic tables and vault toilets. There are a few lookout points where you can see the awe inspiring views of canyon amphitheater. Middle of July, in the high 60s and there are still some small patches of snow lingering around. A nice place to go to get away from the heat of the summer.

Bryce Canyon National Park is home to towering spires, also known as hoodoos, and a natural amphitheater. Visitors can enjoy scenic overlooks and hiking trails that offer stunning views of the landscape. For those looking for a stress-free departure, it's recommended to leave early and head back to Salt Lake City via I-15 which takes approximately four hours.

My experience with this place was very positive. Such breathtaking views from mile 1 to all the way to the top of Rainbow Point. It isn't that long of a drive but there are spots to hike, camp, and go horseback riding.Overall, this park is beautiful!

Wow!! Each National Park I visit “one-ups” the last. Badlands, Glacier, and now Bryce to finish the week. Definitely didn’t disappoint. Expansive vistas, great trails, and helpful staff.The shuttle bus is THE way to travel in order to have a stress free visit. Parking is limited at the popular vistas/look out points and longer distance hikers may not rotate out of spots to quickly.I arrived at about 3pm and still had plenty of time to make my way from point to point for great views and some awesome pics. Walked the Rim Trail 2x. Different view with each change of the light.Gets busy at sunset with those seeking last minute pics. 30 minutes after dark it was a convoy departing. 30-45 minutes later and it was like the park was mine.Spent the night and got 3 shots as the sun n came up over the valley.

A full day of mosey around style hiking on the too easy to get to stuff. Probably another full day or two of the trails down deeper in the canyon. Park ranger gate closes after business hours so entry is free for sunset. Extremely clean park. Only one dog friendly path/trail by the campgrounds. Small town feel with

A Journey Worth Taking!Sometimes, the unplanned detours lead us to the most breathtaking places.This hidden gem wasn’t on my itinerary, but I’m so glad I stopped to soak in its beauty. 🏞️Bryce Canyon National Park is an absolute must-visit spot, offering a glimpse of paradise😍

Fonne S — Google review

We had a blast when we came visit. It’s magnificent!! It’s amazing how it was formed and how the colors changed. It’s definitely one of the best canyons! There’s so much to do and see. A good place to do hiking. I highly recommend visiting it.

Title: A Breathtaking Adventure at Bryce CanyonI recently had the pleasure of visiting Bryce Canyon National Park, and it was an experience beyond words. The sheer beauty of the scenery took my breath away. The majestic hoodoos and vibrant colors of the canyon walls painted a surreal landscape that felt like stepping into another world.The hiking trails were nothing short of awe-inspiring. Each step revealed a new vista, a fresh perspective on the natural wonder before me. The diversity of trails catered to all levels of hikers, allowing me to explore at my own pace. Whether it was the challenging switchbacks of Navajo Loop or the leisurely stroll along the Rim Trail, every path offered its own unique magic.The connection with nature was palpable, and the serenity of the surroundings was both humbling and invigorating. The cool breeze, the rustling leaves, and the distant calls of wildlife created a symphony that added to the overall experience.The memories made at Bryce Canyon will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's a place where time stands still, allowing you to soak in the grandeur of nature. I left with a renewed sense of wonder and gratitude for the beauty that our planet holds.If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting Bryce Canyon National Park. It's a true testament to the marvels of the natural world, and an adventure that will stay with you long after you leave.

The wonders of nature! This is a beautiful place to visit if you are ever in southern Utah. From the vast openness to amazing rock formations. Plenty of trails to hike and places to take photos. But definitely watch out for the wildlife while driving, had a deer shoot out in front of my motorcycle. Roads are twisty and make for a great ride. Add this place to your next trip and you won't be disappointed! I plan to visit here often.

Ryan ( — Google review

Amazing views of the canyons and hoodoos on the trails. It's great that you can hike to see different perspectives of the canyons at different angles to give you that sense of awe.We hiked from the Sunrise Point to Sunset Point (loop) and the views were spectacular. Since it was mid-March, there is still snow present so you'll be sloshing around in mud (like red clay).

Allen D — Google review

An awe inspiring place to visit. The views, from everywhere are amazing. The shuttle buses were running frequently, many people however choose to drive the scenic drive. This means parking is very tight. We did the Navajo/ queens garden loop, even at 9am it was busy !!

Catherine S — Google review

Great park! If you only have time for one quick stop you must go to Bryce's point! I recommend you drive the entire road and stop at all the view points. They are all SO different! The Queens garden hike was very cool and not too long.

Jason K — Google review

Plan to stop along the road edge to look at the views. There are many great lunch picnic areas and campgrounds along the way.Hiking is great and you will benefit from a pair of walking sticks. The right hiking shoes are crucial. A 360 camera is best to capture and absorb the amazing landscape. Otherwise a panoramic setting will serve you well here.

Vincent J — Google review

One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Sunrise point and inspiration points were our favorite places. They have both paved and unpaved access to the canyons and we were able to get some amazing views for photos. The park is an easy to drive layout and plenty of bathrooms throughout. Such a peaceful location!

Casey M — Google review

This place has devastating beauty. It's amazing all the different contrasts in color, rock formations, and skyline. The hikes are fun and range from easy to hard based on your skill level. I highly recommend checking this National Park off your list of things to do/see.

Audry P — Google review

This park is absolutely stunning!! As beautiful as Zion but totally different look. The scenic drive is well worth it!! We started from the “end” and worked our way back to the entrance- stopping at all the pull off areas and scenic lookouts. Hiked part of the Queens Garden Trail- one of the “shorter and easier” hikes at Bryce. The hoodoos are unreal and the views are breathtaking. 10/10

Taylor M — Google review

The view and scenery was breathtaking. We were there before the sunset so the color of the mountains are beautiful with the snow on top of it. It was on a weekday when we came visit and it was not crowded so we were able to take good photos. I recommend this place for you to visit and include in your bucket list.

Very impressive! Visit in Summer 2018 and Winter 2019, 2023/24. We love the hoodoos. Great trails and canyon! Very beautiful in winter with snow!!

It is like no other place on earth! The hoodoos and natural bridges are awesome! The colors are other worldly and, when there is snow, it adds a texture and layer to the complexity of the landscape. Don't miss Bryce Canyon! Super easy access for all. You can hike if you want but it is not necessary. The views are unlike anything you have ever seen!

Tanner M — Google review

Bryce Canyon is a really cool place to check out! Here's why you'll love it:It is known for its tall, skinny rocks called hoodoos. They look like big pillars sticking up from the ground, and they come in all different shapes and sizes. It's like stepping into a fairy tale land! There are lots of spots in Bryce Canyon where you can see amazing views of the hoodoos and the area around them. Some spots are really high up, so you can see really far, while others are closer to the ground, where you can see the rocks up close. Bryce Canyon has lots of hiking trails that take you through the hoodoos and let you explore the park. Some trails are easy and flat, while others are more challenging with steep climbs and narrow paths. There's a trail for everyone, no matter your hiking experience. There are lots of animals in Bryce Canyon, like deer, squirrels, and even mountain lions! You might see them as you explore the park, so keep your eyes open. At night, Bryce Canyon is one of the best places to look at the stars. The sky is so clear and dark that you can see thousands of stars shining bright. It's like having your own private light show. Bryce Canyon is a must-see place. It's beautiful with lots of cool things to see and do, from hiking to stargazing. Don't miss the chance to visit this amazing park!

Sergey D — Google review

Absolutely gorgeous canyon with its colorful hoodoos. The Peek-a-boo Trail is amazing as well as the Navajo Trail. Great views are found at Bryce Point and Sunset Point. Rainbow Point also offers vast views. The Natural Bridge is beautiful with the canyon.

Misty S — Google review

I have been wanting to go since I was young and it definitely lived up to my expectations. This was amazing! We visited in early April and there was a lot of snow. The lower half of the park was still closed for winter. The amphitheater was amazing! So awesome at the diversity of geology around this area. We will visit again so we can see the rest of the park.

J D — Google review

Underrated park. Beautiful out of space scenery. Easy access to viewpoints without much hiking. Saw Sunrise and Sunset Point as well as Inspiration Point which was our favorite. Great to stop by on the way to Zion, Grand Canyon or Arches National Park.

Valeria U — Google review

This is one of the most beautiful and iconic places in the southwestern and western United States. If you are in southern Utah this is a stop you should make. The hoodoos in Bryce Canyon are amazing. Amazing because of the amount, the size, and the coloring. From white, to yellow, to orange and red the colors are vibrant and mesmerizing. There are several walks and hikes along the rim of the canyon and down into the canyon. They range from easy walks, to moderate hikes down part way into the canyon, to multi day treks. Even a one to two hour drive into the national park will reward you with vistas that you will never forget.

AP W — Google review

Make sure have the National park pass to be able to pass quickly and no extra fee. It was very nice and unique shaped rocks. The weather was not too hot when you go early morning. Make sure to have plenty of water with you. You can go hiking to the down if the canyon which is cold and nice but you need to be ready because it is challenging. At 11am it was a historic meeting at the top of the canyon and it was very informative. There are bus stations if you do not want to walk around or you got tired from walking. Restrooms are okay but busy.

Hatice K — Google review

What a beautiful national park it is! We stayed at Ruby’s inn and next morning started early to do the hiking sunrise to sunset to Navajo loop trail. It was breathtaking! We covered the whole park with lookout points and did trail in 6 hrs and enjoyed every minute of it. Trail is highly recommended to go inside hoodoos and see it from close. The color of the hoodoos is breathtaking. We decided to go one week before Christmas and started early to avoid crowds and heat! It was perfect!! We also saw some deers. Highly recommend this place!!

Preeti G — Google review

Been hiking for all my life but this was one of the most beautiful views ever while having a short walk. We hiked down next to Thor’s hammer, crossed the sunset point and headed on to queens garden. I didn’t expect the color of the canyon to be that intense, so it was a nice surprise to pass all the orange rocks. Since the canyon is located on high altitude, there was some snow and therefor it can be a bit muddy from time to time. Hoping you enjoy the views as much as I did :)

Jessi V — Google review

Such a unique and cool experience!!!! We had the best time going to all of the viewing points and seeing the canyon and hoodoos from all aspects! We really enjoyed mossy cave and getting to hike up to the “windows” formed in the rocks and playing in the creek. Highly recommend going up the creek here and seeing what all there is away from the crowds!

Krysten D — Google review

Bryce Canyon is a marvelous wonder of the southwest. It was far busier than we thought it would be on a Tuesday morning but the views are worth it to the end of the road. If you can't arrive early and want to see the first couple of overlooks, you might as well take the shuttle. Amazing park and amazing staff that run it quite well.

Alex M — Google review

Genuinely incredible national park, some of the most unique structures I've ever seen. The scenic drive is packed with amazing lookouts each showing a different angle with completely different landscapes. The drive also features amazing hikes, many of which are incredibly easy. Watch out for the winter season as many attractions are closed during it. Although the snow is very pretty on the formations during springtime.

Yash P — Google review

Absolutely gorgeous! A must visit! This should be on everyone's bucket list! I've been here a couple times, this last time mid May, the day was hot and the night was cold tenting it, but not unbearable! Such a cool place with amazing views! Make sure you get in the park early to get into good parking spots! I'd recommend doing the smaller hikes first so you can park because the parking spots at the shorter hikes are smaller and fill up really fast!

Shayla B — Google review

This is a must visit. This is a place to take a family to. Of course we had to buy some gifts at the gift shop. It was a beautiful drive up to rainbow point. Everything about this place is amazing. Everyone is so nice and meeting people form all over the world was really cool.

Bryce Canyon National Park is an extraordinary geological wonder with its stunning hoodoos, natural amphitheaters, and vibrant colors. Its unique landscape offers breathtaking views and opportunities for hiking, photography, and stargazing.visitors should be prepared for high altitudes and varying weather conditions, especially in the winter months. Overall, Bryce Canyon is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

I went twice today and was bowled over and totally awestruck both times!First, hopped on and off the shuttle to visit the 4 amphitheater points.Second, in the evening, to walk the Navajo Trail alone.This wonder of nature is absolutely humbling.I felt so fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit it! 💜🖖

We visited Bryce during the first week of April. Luckily, it was snowing lightly on the day of our visit. You will get to see some amazing views especially if you visiting during the time of the year when this area is snow capped. There are some good hiking trails. If you’re not interested to hike, you can still enjoy the scenic views from the overlook area that’s about a mile stretch (Sunrise to Sunset point).We will definitely visit again.

Kaustabh C — Google review

There should be a multiplier for national parks. Five Stars is not enough!We visited in the winter to avoid some of the crowds. But we didn't realize that the week of Christmas is VERY POPULAR! It was very hard to find a parking space and the shuttle does not run in the winter.But we managed!If you do not want to do any hikes, you can see this park in one day easily. But you would be missing out on some awesome views that are only available by hitting a trail!There is one road in and it dead ends. So you could simply view the canyon from the stops.We spent several hours just walking along the rim and then did a hike from Sunrise Point to Sunset Point on another day.Absolutely beautiful park! The hikes would be extremely hot in the summer as there is not much shade available.

Bryce canyon is a very underrated national park. It is beautiful. Easy access to amazing vistas. Well maintained trails. Spent a week enjoying awesome sunrises and incredible night skies. The color of the hoodoos change from light pink to deep red depending on the sun angle. This is one of my top five favorites. A truly magical place.

We went during the first week of March and it was beautiful. The snow with the orange colors were so peaceful and bright. The hike was amazing with lots of turns and little tunnels. We used spikes which was a good purchase since it was quite muddy.

Mesmerizing. Beautiful hoodoos. The best part was the Thor’s hammer naturally curved and it was one of the best life time experience watching that . The hoodoos have different colours on it ( red for iron oxide ) , green for copper and pink for magnesium. It is a must visit for all .

Wall Street in Bryce Canyon National Park is a must-see attraction, offering breathtaking sights and a magical experience. It's recommended to combine the hike with the Queens Garden and the Wall Street Trail for a beautiful trek through some of Bryce's best features. The Wall Street path is more popular and considered cooler, providing an incredible experience. However, it's important to note that in winter, the Wall Street section may be closed.

Was totally bummed that the Wall Street section of the amphitheater was closed by the time I arrived to the park (first week of November). I would have loved to hike through it, but the best I could do given the closure was take a few photos from the area just before the closure.The Navajo Loop was still open and it was incredible, so not being able to do the Wall Street section as well was at most a minor disappointment. If it's open by the time you arrive here, do it. It looks incredible from above

Gunnar C — Google review

Amazing, absolutely brilliant section! A must-do, must-hike.The Navajo loop trail is not very long, but has a steep descend and climb on the beginning/end. Bring lots of water, hiking shoes. It can be very hot.I'd give it more than 5 stars, if I could!

Frans W — Google review

Navajo Loop and Queens Garden trail are surely very nice and impressive, especially the wall section. However, be prepared for the crowds as this trail is heavily visited. Also, you can of course only walk a short part of the trail, but right from the start you go down and you will have to get up again. We saw a lot of people who were sitting in a tiny peace of shade and looking completely exhausted. Make sure you have average fitness, a hat and sufficient water. I preferred fairyland loop, which is long but way less crowded.

Maria X — Google review

Excellent views of the hoodoos!We hiked the Navajo Loop to Peekaboo to Wall Street combination, in a figure 8, which totaled 4.9 miles. We completed it in 3-4 hours. The combination took us up and down hoodoos about 4 times. I would characterize this combination hike as strenuous due to the elevation changes, some of which are rather steep. The trail is wide so there is plenty of room to hike. I would not recommend bringing very young children on this trail. Bring plenty of water!

Karen — Google review

Amazing trail that connects Sunset Point to the Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail. Highly recommended to take this route if your able to (this is a steep uphill zig-zag climb that has many stairs). Also highly recommended to check the National Park website for info on what supplys to bring (plenty of water, proper clothing, etc).

Nick W — Google review

I did the Navajo loop trail and Wall Street on the first snowfall day in November 2019.What a scenic winter wonderland it was!The beautiful hoodoos covered in a snow jacket was just indescribably magical.The combination of the altitude, the cold and the intensive hike made me feel exhausted pretty fast. But just took my time and enjoyed the beautiful setting.

Stephen — Google review

Bryce Canyon overall is my favorite park! It's so incredibly beautiful, and Wall Street Trail is such a unique and fun trail to experience. You zig zag down the easy trail until you reach the bottom of the canyon. Our group included 7 kids ranging in ages from 4-14 and everyone made the hike easily. You have to check this place out!

Sarah G — Google review

We did the Queen-Navajo Loop and it was moderate and super long. The trail is downwards, levels then a lot of uphill whichever way you start or return. But it was well worth it. I wanted nothing more to do this trail as I saw it in a lot of popular media and so glad I got to experience this journey. The winding road going down which is the Navajo part is a lot easier than what it looks. 1000x recommend this trail

Traveling T — Google review

Really nice!!!A hike of medium difficulty due to the height gained in a short distance, which can make the route a bit heavy.The view is very good because of the colors on the walls.It is important to carry hydration and walk carefully and attentively on the road.

Salvador A — Google review

Magic trail, bring water, comfortable closed toe shoes, snacks and sunscreen. Great hike for kids, very exciting experience of going down the stairs, climbing over and under rocks. Do not embark if you have bad knees, lots of stairs and up and down walking here. Breathtaking views of the canyon, adjacent to two Bridges trails

Antelope Island State Park is the largest island in the Great Salt Lake and boasts of white-sand beaches, migratory birds, and a herd of American bison. Visitors can take a peaceful walk through its wilderness to spot free-roaming bison, mule deer, antelope, bighorn sheep, and a variety of migratory birds feasting on brine shrimp along the shore. The park hosts annual wildlife spectacles like the November buffalo roundup for veterinary examinations.

Wow! The views are stunning! Wildlife too -antelopes and bison and abundant bird life! It’s spectacular to see the lake and also the mountains. The beach is vast and can be walked also loads of hiking trails and even a restaurant. Camping in tents and RV’s is also available. Would be a great place for riding bikes. Bring Binoculars to see the diverse birds!

First Time Visiting Antelope Island, Was told at Entrance it was Bug Season, She Sure was not Kidding by the time I hit the first stop, my car was Splattered, and you could hear the bugs. However once I drove farther into the Island the Bugs were not as bad. Still had a great visit, did not see any Antelopes, but saw lots of Bison. Was a very interesting stop on the way home

Tom T — Google review

Beautiful park! Take your time to drive through the island in search for bisons and antelopes. The views are stunning! Dogs are not allowed on the beach. Make sure to check if it’s mosquito season and bring some repellent. There are several trails, with some easy options. Bring plenty of water with you as it can get very hot during the day. The entrance is $20 for the car.

Went here for sunrise and absolutely fell in love with it. We were lucky to catch the wild bison crossing the road in front of us. Our trip was in late September and the bugs were absolutely atrocious down near the ranch where we watched the sunrise and saw the bison. The bugs weren’t as bad down by the ranch though! wear layers so they won’t bite you and enjoy.

I hadn't been to this park in 6 years, it was so nice to see water towards the end of the entrance! (it was completely dry last time) There were so many bison's too! We saw hundreds with a bunch of babies as well! They crossed right in front of us! Great experience!

Someone suggested I visit this place when I had time. Had 4 hrs to burn so made it out here and OMG this place is so peaceful and beautiful!Only drove through and walked around Visiter Center and the Ranch but there is sooooo much more to do here! There’s a bunch of hiking/biking trails, camping grounds, horseback riding, and I’m sure a bunch more but 4hrs wasn’t enough!Don’t think I’d go hiking since there’s a possibility you’ll cross a Bisons path. I will definitely come back to horseback ride when I have at least a whole day to spend!$15 to drive your car in.

We saw the park on YouTube watching a Venture Addicts Destinations Explained video about Salt Lake City. We went there to see the antelope and bison. We didn't see any antelope, but the bison put on a show. We saw one bison at first, then a small group, but eventually drove into several herds of them. Some just casually crossing the road in front and behind our vehicle. We also got several good views of the lake, what's left of it. I was kind of sad to see how much the Great Salt Lake shrunk. The YouTube video did mention the odor and number of flies on the island. The odor wasn’t that bad, but the flies (aka no-see-ums/midges) were an issue. Returning to the city after sunset was a problem. There were so many of them on the causeway that our car and windshield were covered with them. Luckily there was a gas station after you exit the causeway where we could clean our windshield. I still recommend going there to see the bison and lake. The sunset views were from Buffalo Point were amazing.

I visited this place in August month. Entrance fee is 15$ for each car. There are few trails and a beach inside. Dogs are not permitted to beach. There is a visitor center inside. It has some information about the wildlife around salt lake. People who are interested in wildlife photography, this is a must place to try it out. Various number of species fly/migrate here. Watch out for those bisons on road they are almost everywhere in the park.

Absolutely amazing place to explore when visiting SLC or Park City. Not far from either place and a really beautiful destination. A mindful reminder of how amazing nature is. The visitors center has great information. The free roaming bison are so cool! And the landscape will not disappoint. A great place to see the salt lake and learn a bit more of what natural beauties UT has to offer. $15 entry fee per car. Lots to explore around we only had a few hours but could have probably been there for an entire day plus!

Highly highly recommend visiting!! This was some of the most beautiful and diverse terrain all in one location.

Only disappointed that there are seasonal road closures 🤷🏼‍♀️

Beautiful views of the mountain and beach area. Got to see the Buffalo but not any Antelope. I don't think we went high enough into the mountains. Checked out the ranch but there was no guide to explain any of the things we were seeing. The mosquitoes were off the chain! Had to use the outhouse style bathroom and although it was clean, mosquitoes tore my buttocks up. Lol. Hiking trail near bathroom wasn't difficult but that walk to the beachfront was something else. Sand gnats everywhere. They didn't bite though. Bar & Grill on beach was closed the day we went. Took us a little over an hour to get there from Salt Lake City. There is a fee per car but only $15. You drive most trails but they did have a few walking. You can also camp there in RVs or tents.

Water & Amusem*nt Parks

Theme Parks

Lagoon Amusem*nt Park is a seasonal park that provides visitors with thrilling rides and live shows. In addition to the amusem*nt park, there is also a pioneer village and camping available. The park's theming is not the best due to its focus on providing exciting thrill rides for visitors. Prices are somewhat expensive but manageable.

It was very fun. Lines were short but took longer due to most rides (particularly roller coasters) having only one car going. We had done the South end's coasters first, leading up in intensity to eventually do Cannibal and the more intense rides at the North end of the park. There were visual staffing shortages and a lot of teenage employees. Food prices were okay for an amusem*nt park, ranging from 5 to about 15 dollars. It does become very crowded in the Midway area with people stopping to stand in the middle of the walkway and you were always bumping into other people. Rides were great and entertaining with different levels of thrill ranging from kid rides to very intense rides. Since this is more of a family park, avoiding Kiddieland is very good, avoiding longer lines and a lot of little children. Overall a very great experience, and since I have a season passport I get to go almost every weekend.

Remington S — Google review

Lagoon is a fun place. Lots of rides. It was a hot day but with the water spraying area at the front of the park we cooled right off. They have huge amounts of full grown, beautiful trees to give shade. We went during the week so lines were small. The staff are great! My only concern is the pricing, it is steep. They have added really neat areas and have plans for more that look amazing!!! Hopefully they can figure out some better pricing for everyone. Definitely worth supporting our local theme park! Still a less than going to Disney, but also a smaller scale. Great pools, fun pioneer village, awesome water rides, and of course amazing roller coasters. If you haven't been here try to make it. If it's been years you will be delighted by the new arrivals.

Love lagoon. I love that they have shade almost anywhere you got. I have to say the kid Luke at hang time was so happy and friendly, I loved watching him interact with all the kids. I love that you can bring food in or purchase it. Great place to come with family, friends, or on a date.

Tiffany P — Google review

They've really updated the kids area and rides and is just as fun as when I was a kid. Love that they let moms work for season passes as well! Makes the rides go more quickly and smooth too.

Stephanie B — Google review

We came to Lagoon to attend a company party. It was so amazing. They have rides that accommodate everyone! We had various ages from 0-80 I would say. They all had such a blast. There are some water rides for when you get hot, they have a sky lift type ride that will take you from one side of the park to the other. They have rides for the little ones that will keep them going for hours! The staff is friendly and helpful. The food that was served was good and the rides were well maintained and clean. They have it where those with disabilities can get on rides first, but the lines weren't too long which was nice. My only complaint is the parking is expensive, and they don't have enough attendants at closing to direct traffic so everyone can get out safely. We didn't really buy snacks or gifts so I couldn't tell you how much things cost, but I'm sure they are as expected. Will definitely come again. It is worth the trip for family fun.

Would have been 4 stars but there were a few factors. Minimum of 5 rides broke down/stalled while we were in line for them. Must have been our lot that day or something, but we would wait for 15-20 minutes to see if they would fix it but end up leaving. These rides are getting so old. Other than that, other rides were great.I'd highly suggest to bring a cooler and sandwiches as it's going to taste WAY better than anything that is offered there. I had minimal time to plan so we decided to just eat there. BIG mistake. Spent $10 for each order and I felt like I was back in high school with the quality of the pizza, hamburger and chicken. Lunch and dinner spent about $60 for 2 adults and children. We spent about $300+ for the 3 of us. If you go twice or more, I'd suggest their season pass. I think their 1 time ticket is a bit more expensive than I think it's worth. But it I'd what it is. 🤷

Lagoon Amusem*nt Park has held its place as an enduring American classic since the late 1800s. The park triumphantly endured a destructive fire in the 1950s and underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, emerging as an expansive attraction that stands on par with esteemed counterparts like Seven Peaks and other renowned amusem*nt parks. With a plethora of rides that can easily fill your entire day with excitement, and come Fall, they host Frightmares, a captivating Halloween-themed spectacle. Lagoon undeniably claims the title of the most enjoyable amusem*nt park for a considerable stretch of miles.

Morpheus X — Google review

Oof Lagoon - it has my begrudging respect, but it's really way too expensive for what it is. If at all possible, try to buy it as part of a bundle, or what it's really geared for - a season pass for local families. I'd be much more charmed by it if it weren't so expensive! As it is, I really didn't think it was worth it until I rode Cannibal at the end of the day, and that's a properly good ride.I also really like Colossus, and love that they have two proper haunted houses. They also have dedicated single rider lines for Wicked and Cannibal, which work really well! Make sure you ask if it's chained off. There are two shows - a magician and an Alice in Wonderland pop music show, and both were better than they had any right to be! And the whole pioneer village area is very unique and quiet.But on the whole - the park is geared towards families, not the biggest thrills. It's trying to be a big park, but acting like a small one - with smeary hand stamps, tickets per ride, short queue lines - it just can't handle big crowds. And on a Thursday, I barely had to wait for anything, not even Cannibal.

Sara W — Google review

I absolutely love coming here with my husband. We don't have any kids, but we still have fun. Just went to frightmares and paid extra to see the show Seance, and that was so crazy and cool! We also got to ride the new ride primordial. We waited in line for 2 hours. It was worth the wait! Never experienced anything like it and absolutely had a blast. We bought some items in their gift shop.

Leanne S — Google review

Great park, lots of fun rides. The kids area is almost entirely shaded. You are allowed to bring your own food and drinks in which is a rarity these days. We drive in from out of town multiple times a year to enjoy some family fun!Fairly short waits for most rides.

Remfleg D — Google review

I've been to many different theme parks around the country. Lagoon stands out to me because of their operations. They are very quick at keeping lines moving. I was also impressed by the friendliness of the staff. My main complaint is the queue lines. There is hardly any queue space, and the lines constantly spill out onto the midway. They have a world class coaster with Cannibal and many other amazing attractions. It is a very family-friendly park. I was impressed with my visits this summer, and I can't wait to return.

Carl T — Google review

I had a lot of fun here! I arrived around 1 and stayed until 9 and still rode most of the coasters. The park wasn't too crowded until the evening time. The rides were thrilling and exciting.Word of warning: this is an amusem*nt park, not a theme park. The theming is not the best here, because this park is meant for exciting thrill rides.Prices were okay, but still a bit on the expensive side.Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would come here again for just a select few rides. Especially to ride Cannibal a couple more times! If you're a thrill-seaker, this is a must-ride! The initial 105 degree drop produces an unreal feeling I had never felt up to the point of this ride.

Michael B — Google review

Very very fun! Love the rides, the lines weren't too long. They moved at a very efficient pace. Food was pretty good, a little pricey but that's common everywhere nowadays. All in all, had q really fun day here

Heather — Google review

Expensive but plan to spend the entire day here. Tons of ride options and even have a little kid area. Pioneer Village has the popular Rattlesnake Rapids ride (you will get wet!) as well as old buildings to walk around with informational plaques about the history. Ice cream here is fantastic. Lots of eateries everywhere and carnival games to play.

Angela N — Google review

Had a blast! The lines were not to long, I think the longest I waited was about 30 mins which isn't bad honestly. The park was clean, the food was good. The beaver tails were delicious. Cannibal, Wicked, and Colossus were my favorite rides to go on.

Elyse J — Google review

We love going to Lagoon each year and always get a season pass. We enjoy that they continue to bring new and innovative rides to the park. We had the opportunity to ride the new Primordial ride yesterday and it’s a fun experience. Something very unique and not found anywhere else. We are excited to ride it again and again.

Danielle N — Google review

I've always loved going to Lagoon! It's been the highlight of my summers growing up, and now my own kids feel the excitement. We haven't been when the water park was open since i was probably 12 (in 30's now) I'm hoping to make it again this summer. The reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because of the wait to get on any of the rides. I know there's only so much a theme park can do about the wait times, but man, I wish the lines weren't 2+ hours at times. Like I mentioned before, we've been going at the beginning of the season, which could have a play in the wait/ridiculous amount of people, but I'm sure it is crammed full of people no matter the time of year. Do theme parks ever set a capacity? Sounds crazy I know, but it's hard to "get your money worth" when the majority of your time is waiting in a line. I LOVE that they let you bring in coolers too. We love having a lagoon picnic at our set up camp.If we weren't 6 hrs away, a season pass would be a given. That's the way to do it for sure.This trip we happened to be in SLC and heard the opening day was while we were here, so absolutely we went! Lines weren't too bad (except the new ride of course 😉) and a storm came through so very few of us stayed and at that point, NO LINES! Except we were wet and Freezing 🥶 WORTH IT 😁

Aleschia H — Google review

I had so much fun on my recent lagoon trip!! We went for our day date before prom and it was the funnest day date yet! The rides never disappoint! The only reason I gave 4 stars is it’s a little pricey.

Lagoon is a really fun amusem*nt park for young kids and teens plus adults let me just say i went on flying aces 6 times and I am dizzy now🤣 but rattlesnake rapids is the place to go if you need to cool down and mouse trap hurts🤣 I'm definitely going back really soon😁😁

Jana — Google review

Lagoon is such a fun place to go and ride rides for all ages! We went on a day that wasn’t really busy, but we waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to ride their new ride they have. The price per ticket was a little bit expensive for what we got out of it.

Alicia M — Google review

I visited Lagoon on the opening day of its 2024 season. The park was busy, but most notably the staff felt well trained, friendly, and ready to go for its first day of operation. Cannibal and Primordial are must dos, and the park offers “old school” rides that really set it apart. We had lunch at the Biergarten which offered great food and a large selection of drinks. I look forward to someday returning to this unique amusem*nt park.

Local T — Google review

first time being here after leaving across the highway for four years. the new primordial ride is a unique and thrilling ride I've never been on. It's a combo of a roller coaster, interactive, and unpredictable ride. It's a must but damn, we were almost in line for two hours! this was on a Saturday... It's fun, it's cool, and it's crowded. Be prepared, come early, & a pro tip: bring something to do while you wait in line like trivia cards or the flip up phone game.

Saovada P — Google review

Frightmares is the best time to go to Lagoon. We had a blast in the haunted houses we went through (5 out of 8) and absolutely loved the SEANCE and Lore live performances. SEANCE was worth the extra money - such a great experience - and Larson, Ryan, and Curtis went out of their way to accommodate the wheelchair user in our group. I noticed many people among the staff paying special attention and care to our ADA needs throughout the park, and I was very impressed and thankful. It's been a few years since I've been to Lagoon, and it remains my favorite amusem*nt park. I can't wait to come back next year!

Kylie H — Google review

The tickets are $100ea. and $25 for a fast pass to the Haunted houses (Which I did not go into because the lines are a nightmare). Besides the price Frightmares 2023 was fun.

Angelica P — Google review

I love this amusem*nt park. There is something for everyone. It gets better every year. It has been open since 1886! That’s 10 years before Utah was even a state! I’ve been enjoying this park since about 1984 as a very young child and have always had a great time. I’ve gone through different friendships throughout those years but cherish all the memories I’ve had with my friends that have come and gone in that time. The prices at the park have really gone up, which is really the only bad thing I could say about the park. I don’t think they need to add a new ride every single year. People will keep coming back regardless. I do recommend this place, but no one really needs my recommendation. People from surrounding states even come here because there are no other amusem*nt parks nearby for hundreds of miles.

Natural hot springs offering several outdoor pools with different temperature levels, plus a shop.

Place was awesome, soaked for about an hour and 10 minutes. Payed $10 a person for unlimited time as long as we didn’t leave the pools.Parking spot is right across the road and you just walk down to the pools pay for your entrance and time for a good soak.Friendly staff, and very family friendly environment. Pools from warm to pretty hot. Highly recommend for the price.

I went to this place 2 times in the last week on our family road trip. I found it very clean and well maintained with the amount of people that go through there. It has a ton of visitors each day I was there. We did bring 3 of our children and they all liked it as well. There are strict rules about splashing and actual swimming etc. Which I find nice for the atmosphere it's trying to breed. Would definitely suggest going there I'd you are able to.

Holy hotness! The first pool is HAWT so hot!!The facility was clean, plenty of private stalls to change, nice water filling station (you'll need it) and seating galore in each of the three pools. Pool 1 is 112° second is 105-110° and the third was 102°.Little spots for the kids to bugger around in the 102° pool, a manageable temp for them.Have Fun!

This place was very wonderful.The nice thing is they have pools with different temperature for 105 to 112 degrees F.The have indoor and outdoor lockers the indoor lockers are smaller than the outdoor onesThe out door locker can fit a large gym bag the cost of the large locker is 1$ and the indoor locker is 50 cents.

We had an amazing time at the Lava Hot Springs. My son really enjoys hot tubs and he said this was the perfect way to end our trip from Yellowstone and Grand Tetons on our way back to California.We enjoyed the different pools with different temps ranging from 102 to 105, 106 to 110, and the 112 pool was incredibly hot we could only dip our toes in. We could definitely see the natural bubbling in the hotter pools.

It's my first time going to a hot spring and I was surprised at how fun it was. The hotest pool was at 115 degrees, while the coolest one was at 105, it was nice with the weather being so cold to have the two temperature s balance out.

This place is amazing! Best hot springs we've ever been to. They have bathrooms, showers and 5 different pools ranging from hottest to bath water. The water and the facilities are well maintained and the staff are friendly. Just bring and drink plenty of water. No other food or drinks are allowed.

Summer visit, amazing hot springs we visit at halfway between Yellowstone and SLC (3 hrs). Free Parking lot cross street, payment at entrance office Friday to Sunday is $12/pp, Monday to Thursday is $8. For a extra you can use the swimming pool. 5 pools with diferente temperatures 102-105, 105, 105-110, 110. Start with the coolest and soak for 10-15 minutes max per pool (my recommendation), restrooms, dressing rooms and 2-quarter lockers are available. Opens at 8am, we enter with 4-6 at that time on Friday.

It is so clear and clean with no Sulfur smell. From the hotest pool 112° to the coolest 103°, also with two tubs with jets it feels so good to sink down in the water to soak. The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained. The staff are so kind and helpful.

Paula R — Google review

We found the hot springs very well organized and clearly labeled on water temps. The ramps into each pool allowed everyone in our group to adjust to water temps (toddler to senior). The 112F pool has the best shade on the grounds. After soaking we toured the secret garden. It seems to be the same property but only accessible from a path to the east and up the hill behind the historical sign. The garden was very serene and provided plenty of spots to sit and escape the heat. There's a small natural lava cave along the trail. About 2ft high, so be careful to watch your head when in and exciting.

David J — Google review

I was just in Thermopolis so I figured I'd try the Hot Springs here too. There is a nominal entrance fee. Bathrooms, showers and lockers. Various pools at different temperatures. Most people were in the coolest of them which I believe is between 102°-105°. They go up to I think 116°. I felt a bit like Goldilocks finding out which one I liked best. I settled on the small pool at 105° and stayed there for 15-20 mins and then moved to the larger cooler pool for a few. Before I left I did dip in the hottest of the pools just for a couple minutes. Couldn't do that for too long. All felt very nice and relaxing though. Definitely worth it.

This was a very fun hot springs to visit. There are multiple pools, each with a different degree in temperature. The price on the weekends is $12 for adults. The price during the week is $8 for adults. They have lockers, but unfortunately it costs 50¢ to actually lock. They have a change machine, so be sure to have some dollar bills handy otherwise you’ll have $4.50 in quarters. There are showers and a changing room for both genders. Parking is across the street or on the street. If you park on the street use your ebrake and turn your wheels to the curb. Overall, I do see me coming back, but during the week when it’s cheaper.

Ben M — Google review

This is a place our family makes several trips to every year. The hot springs has been a fun tradition. This makes for a easy, laid back and relaxing vacation.The reason for 2 star review is because the changes and rules over the past several years have gotten a little obnoxious and the cost for entry continues to increase. They are really strict about banning "outside drinks" including water. Today we waited in line while the staff searched every bag of every patron. Re-usable water bottles had to be dumped out prior to entry. It makes no sense.In the past, your entry was valid all day, that is no longer the case. We used to soak a little in the morning, head out to hit one of the local restaurants, then return to soak in the evening. That's not an option anymore which makes enjoying the springs with hungry kids a lot harder than it used to be. The cost of entry for a family is high enough now that it would be hard to justify paying twice so you soak until the kids get hungry and leave. Maybe that's exactly what the owners want.

Visited on a Saturday. Was there from 6pm-8 pm and it was crowded. Two hours was more than enough for me. The pools have different temperatures. The lowest temperature was 102 degrees and it was perfect. Make sure you take plenty of water. I paid $12 and there was no time limit. Very clean facility with bathrooms and changing rooms. I’ve been to Crystal Hot Springs in Utah and have to say that Lava Hot Springs is better.

This hot spring is well maintained. There are multiple pools, most well shaded with awnings, with a variety of temperatures - clearly marked. There are good sized changing and showering areas. The employees are friendly and helpful. It was $10 with no reentry. We would return here.

Very nice park along Snake River and the water falls, that gave the town its current name. Prior to 1891, the town's name was Eagle Rock.Parking is possible anywhere along the road parallel to the river. The park gives pedestrians the chance to walk a few steps, to look at and to listen to the roar of the water falls. Along the walkway are different benches in interesting and funny shapes.My family and I really enjoyed the visit there.

Dietrich S — Google review

Best place to go for a walk though it does get dangerous at night though so make sure you either have a whistle or your SOS turned on to make sure emergency people and cops are alerted. I ended up meeting a man that got attacked near the green belt. He had cuts and bruises all over his body. It's not dangerous but just watch out for big groups of people or even in 2s or 3s. Stay safe if walking at night in the winter which is right now there is black ice on the side walk and on the walking strip even though Rick salt does get put down it can only do so much. To help. It can help just enough but with how cold it is its kinda useless. But still makes sense if they didn't put it down it probably be worse than what it is as of right now. In the summer it's gorgeous and in the falls it is extremely beautiful with the leaves falling and everything

A lovely place for a walk or run in Idaho Falls. The River a Walk provides just enough of a taste of the outdoors while still having quick access to food trucks, fine dining, bars, and coffee shops in the downtown area.You can stop at one of the many fun artistic benches scattered along the walk as well as the War Memorial or some of the sculptures.It’s also a love place to visit on Saturdays from May through October beginning at 9 am for the local farmers’ market.

What a great place to just go walk and enjoy the fresh air. The park benches are fun to stop at. They are all unique. Even in the winter, the greenbelt is the place to go walk and meet new people. This is one of our favorite places to go. The only negative is that electric scooters are everywhere on the Greenbelt, and the people who rent them don't watch out for walkers, kids on bikes, or people in wheelchairs. The scooters have a sign on them that says they can not ride them on the sidewalk, but they do, and they go as fast as the scooters can go.

Wildlife park

Zoos & Aquariums

Bear World is a wildlife park in Rexburg, Idaho, with opportunities to see bears in their natural habitat. The park features a drive-thru facility as well as petting zoo and kid's rides.

It's a neat place, most of the bears here are former actor/performance animals, or descendants of said bears, so they cannot be in the wild. Place offers a few different ways to see them as well. (Drive thru the park in your own vehicle, or use their truck to toss them food, as well as a small petting zoo for the kids.)

Jeremy S — Google review

Wow! Was this place cool or what. We went during the middle of the week and experienced great joy. It was not crowded and they allow you to go through unlimited times. We went through roughly eight times watching all of the bears and different animals. To be precise there are buffalo, whitetail deer, albino elk, elk, swan, grizzly bears, black bears, and moose. And that's just for the section of where you're driving. During our visit there were a lot of bears playing around. They also have a little section that you can go to and actually pet some animals. The animals that you're able to pet are goats, dear, different kinds of birds, and pigs. You can also feed bears during the season. They have an amazing little enclosure for Cubs. Overall the experience was incredible. I'm definitely going here again.

I personally like Bear World better than Yellowstone. I love to ride around and see the animals. The bears are so cute, but the cubs are the cutest!!! You can pay to.feed them.You pay right as you arrive and then you can choose to drive your own car or you can pay to ride in their truck and you're also able to.feed the bears. We did that the first time.The gift shop and kid park area are fun too. And then you can also choose to go to the back part and see more animals. You can also feed the ducks and fish. It is guaranteed fun time for everyone!

Second time to Bear World. It's always so much fun. Brought a new visitor and they loved it. At first thinking having to wait for the next Wildlife Excursion seemed like forever. No, get the Wildlife Excursion. ( and secret get the right side of the of the *bear safe vehicle*) I was first told this is better than Yellowstone if you want to see bears. The employees are very friendly. And, there is a goat that will turn the feeding knob itself at the petting zoo. Do the Excursion before self driving through so you know all the history, life and names of the bears and animals. Let's get the first mountain goat a spouse. They deserve it.I recommend waiting for the gift shop until after the 3 hour visit. Because, you can't take the gift bags or anything bolted down that looks like food to those crazy goats in the petting zoo. Free fudge samples, you get to feed the bears. New dinosaur world. Knowledgeable staff. Feed the fish. It's a frenzy. Definitely worth it. Will be back 10 put of 10.The employees are super friendly. Thanks for a great experience.

Wow! We went during Cubpalooza last week.The kids loved it and want to go back again. They have amusem*nt rides that are included with admission. The bears were very active and the cubs were 100% adorable.

The cost of the adventure was $25. It was worth every penny. It is especially wonderful for children I cannot imagine they must think when they see all these wild animals. I bet I saw 50 bears. The gift shop was well staffed and had a great assortment. The workers were delightful. I love the little petting zoo area and the rides. I also want to mention these animals are cared for very well!

Wow. The drive through the park with elk, deer, bison, and bears is fun for the whole family. Lots of photo opportunities with animals everywhere.The main area gift shop was affordable with a nice selection. The dinosaur area had a couple of "rideable" dinosaurs and was a unique experience for kids. Free amusem*nt park rides for the kids were also available with a decent selection and short lines. The petting zoo had deer, goats, birds, and a pig.My family paid for the bear bottle feeding and it was well worth the time and the money. Six bears under a year old who like nooking with their feeders and have large personalities for the tiny size of their bodies were amazing to feed and to pet. As with any babies, they had their opinions and different personalities from messy eaters, to inhalers. Such an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

We had a great time driving through to see the bears and other animals. We were honestly surprised how many there were and how close to the car they got. Our hard to please teenagers really enjoyed it as well.

A bit pricey, but we easily spent a few good hours here with the rides and the animals. Very cool to see so many bears up close, especially the babies.

At first glance, the price seems really steep being $24 an adult but once you realize just how many animals are actually offered either to see (bison, elk, bears, moose etc.) or to pet at the petting zoo (deer, goats, pigs etc.) I soon understood why! This place was so cool driving in with all of the big bears, elk and bison! Not to mention the adorable petting zoo and amusem*nt park which is also built into the admission price!Also, their fudge in the giftshop? Delicious!!Absolutely worth a visit at least once! My family had a wonderful trip and we will be back! Thanks guys! Very impressed.

Lots of bears and other animals common to Yellowstone National Park. Plenty for kids to do too with a petting zoo, and amusem*nt rides all included with admission. You drive through the elk, bison, and bears. You can renter as much as you like but no stopping and no rolling down your windows. A great place to spend 2-3 hours. Food is available to purchase or bring your own—plenty of picnic tables. Good value!

Driving portion to see roaming animals takes about 30 minutes. So a variety of brown bears, black bears, deer, and bison. Entrance to the park also includes entrance to the dinosaur world, small theme park rides, and petting zoo. We spent about 1.5 hrs total in the park, but could have spent double that if your kids are big on doing the rides. Overall a good experience with the family.

The new dinosaur area is really fun. My kids liked the Dino rides. 2 of the 5 rides were broken when we visited, so it was a little disappointing. But the rides are nice for a wide range of ages. I wanted to ask why the petting zoo is so sparce on animals but didn't see an employee near there to ask. The info center on the different animals is great. The deer look so thin and mangey. The way the road winds through the park gives visitors plenty of angles to see the animals.

We went here on a whim because we were headed in this direction and had an extra hour to do something. Was a great way to see the wildlife up close! Bears, white elk, deer, and bison. The bear cubs were playful and fun to watch. The new dinosaur exhibit was much better than I expected for such a remote place. Fun rides here for little kids (6 and under).

Amazing place. Great opportunity to see some majestic wildlife up close! You can take as many laps in your car as you want, that will take you right by bison, dear and a TON of bears. There is also a petting zoo with deer, goats, ducks etc. A few rides for the kids and a dinosaur place under construction for 2024.IF YOU'RE GOING ALL THE WAY OUT HERE -- spoil yourself and cough up the extra $75 to feed the baby bears. You'll remember that for the rest of your life!!!This place actually made my mum-in-law cry out of sheer joy over all the beautiful animals and getting to bottle feed the cubs.

Theres something wrong about this place. I love wildlife but it just felt like the bears aren’t being taken care of. Yellowstone bear world should be AZA certified but instead is using animals for profit and doesn’t seem to prioritize taking the best possible care of the bears. The grizzlies were pacing around in circles in a small enclosure, I have no problem with zoos but this one was profit oriented not conservation oriented.

Outstanding well kept secret we've told everybody about! 👏 For the most part, the staff is friendly! All around are clean facilities, structures, and habitats for the various animals! All the animals appeared to be well fed and cared for! Feeding the "baby bears" was definitely the highlight of the trip for us! BUT YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE! Very seldom can you show up and expect to feed the bears! The food was decent, and as you would expect, overpriced beyond belief! The "merchandise shop," on the other hand, was reasonably priced and quite affordable!

Bear World is always a fun place to visit. I went with my husband and four children. We all enjoyed the animals, petting zoo, rides, and especially Jurassic Creek. My 5-year old froze for a minute when he saw the T-Rex and wasn't so sure about it, it looked so real to him. It was fun to see the dinosaurs and learn more about them.

It was a great visit. Animals were all around and petting zoo was a hit with the kids. Animals loved the attention from the kids. Rides was in great condition and the new Dinosaur exhibit was brilliant. Loved every minute of it.

I've gone a few times in different seasons, but it's still the same. The bathrooms are a mess and super dirty. The staff is pretty rude, and their merchandise barely ever is updated. but it was cool to look around at the cubs and drive through the wildlife. The dinosaur park in it has quite a few dinosaurs with some movement and sounds. We liked the chubby bears 🐻

Valerie E — Google review

Super cool experience!!! The drive through, bottle feeding, little roller coaster rides they have, and the dinosaur land are all super cool! Definitely would recommend visiting here if you're nearby!

We attended as a homeschool field trip. The drive through to see the bears was exciting for my girls (10&3). The petting area was fun with little piglets and momma, deer and goats. The girls had fun feeding them and also the fish and ducks in the river. We got there at feeding time and it was so cute to watch the baby bear cubs drinking their bottles. You can pay extra to feed the bear cubs, but we didn't do this. The new dinosaur exhibit was neat with life-sized animatronic dinos to see and even a few of the little coin ride kind. The small carnival rides we did last were fun and the girls left happy for the day out.
