I am a sucker for old school encyclopedic museums, and this one is pretty iconic in this arena…read more It's eclectic, filled with oddities, and super fun for the whole family. Where else are you going to see dinosaurs, mummys, and a handwritten letter by Elizabeth I? I really enjoyed walking around, exploring, and I know my kiddo did as well. It's in an old building downtown and has loads of charm everywhere you look. 4/5 stars because I thought the kids play area was a bit of a letdown - it felt a bit dirty and neglected. There also isn't a cafe, which I think would be a fun addition if they ever plan on expanding or remodeling. The exhibits were wonderful though, and I thought for the price it was a great deal. Overall I'd for sure go back and if you're the kind of person that enjoys something off the beaten path, or has a love for old stories and a solid diorama, this is the place for you.

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!! We were sent to Phoenix, Az on one of his worst buses. To start it…read morewasn't really clean, none of the amenities promised per the agreement were available. The fan kept going out anytime we'd go up. AC was barely working. The bus stopped on us in the middle of the high during a high traffic in Albuquerque. Which was a real safety risk. The drivers had to keep pulling over and resetting some switch and the sensor. A supposed to be 18hour trip turned to 24 hrs almost. He owner claimed to have the vehicle looked at in Phoenix, however we faced the same issues headed home. Making this trip very miserable and uncomfortable. The owner took no accountability for the issues and tried to gaslight. The driver especially Jeff Jr were exceptional, and tried what they could to get us there and home. Oh and let's not forget the owner claimed he had a mechanic a hour away from Albuquerque and told us to keep going so we could meet them just to turn around and tell us the bus was German and they don't shave anyone to work on it. Horrible experience.

This is our second experience with this bus company and both were outstanding. As before, the…read moredriver was excellent! She was timely and gave us a very smooth ride. We will definitely use Elite Tours and Charter again!

Funny, we came to visit my daughter and we go to Custer's house (Which it is not) and we walk in…read moreand get greeted by a pretty amazing Mary, who gave us a tour and showed us what Custers house would have looked like had it not gone away decades ago. I think old homes are pretty cool and this was no exception. From the lime Stone Walls, to the proper room division to the sort of interesting hair Art (YEP, I said Hair Art lol) it was fun. I Would recommend it to just take in some history it has been around long enough to make you wonder who else walked these same steps I am walking.

My wife and I did a tour with Anderson Scandinavian Tours a couple years ago. The tour itself was…read morepretty good, but the good part was mostly because of the tour guide we had - not so much because of Anderson Tours. The biggest negative issues were in the planning part of it. the owner lied to us essentially throughout the planning phase, telling us that our arrangements were being processed - for 7 months. We finally got our flight itinerary a few days before time to leave. Even then, we weren't given seat assignments, and couldn't get seat assignments until we checked in or paid extra for the privilege of buying the seat assignments. Then, we were booked on SAS (Scandinavian Airways). I will do my best to never travel on SAS again. Their seats are so cramped and uncomfortable, and poor service. The leg room and seat width was like on a regional jet, and the seats were hard. It was obvious that Anderson tours had waited until the last minute to get the discounted bookings. Then, to make matters even worse, he booked us on a connecting flight with 30 or 45 minutes between flights with terminal changes. We made it in time to catch our flight (barely), but our luggage didn't make it with us. Then, thanks to the poor service of SAS, our luggage didn't catch up with us for several days (and we were still on our trip). There was no customer service agent to help us at the airport on arrival. we were given a form to fill out, which we did. After that, we could not contact ANYONE at SAS that would help us, and NO ONE would return our calls. Our luggage just happened to show up on the doorstep where we had been staying (listed as temporary while on our trip) as we were leaving town to head back home. 5 days with no luggage and no communications. They didn't even let us know the luggage had been located and was on its way??? I realize that is an issue with SAS, but Anderson chose to use SAS, and apparently, based on other comments, that isn't uncommon. Also, while in Scandinavia, we had to change hotels at least once or twice, and our tour group had to get split up at least twice - once, the hotels were like a mile or more apart. At least most of the hotels were fairly nice. I would rate most of them 4 star, but I would not rate most of them 5 stars. Also, some of the meals, you have no option what you eat. They bring out the same thing for everyone, and that's what you get. For example, one meal, we got a full rack of ribs - that's it. No vegetable, nothing besides a rack of ribs. Is that a meal??? I have to say though, that at least most of the meals were good food choices, and as I recall, all of the food quality was good. Final item. Be sure to keep your "itinerary" that Anderson sends you when you first look at the trip. You won't be given another one when you arrive for the trip. Since we booked our trip several months in advance, I had forgotten that I had seen an itinerary (very vague and basic) when we left for the tour. I found out when I was talking to another tourist in the group who had brought her itinerary with her. Overall, if it wasn't for the tour guide, I would rate the experience 2 stars. Our tour guide definitely helped a lot. If you don't get as good of a guide as we had, you will likely not be happy.

Hedrick's is an amazing experience if you are ever near Hutch. Don't listen to the negative…read morereviews. You cannot just show up and go on a tour. You need to make reservations in advance as a tour guide is required to walk around the farm. Tours run $25 for a group of up to 5. Each additional person is $5. They allow you to feed giraffes and kangaroos with food provided by the tour guide. They have the largest population of white camels in the US. You can also sign up for camel and pony rides (60 lbs and under for pony rides). Really cool experience for us and our kids. The tour takes about an hour. I recommend making reservations a week in advance. They have a bed and breakfast as well.

Certainly very unique…read moreand I was not expecting to see The Main Dude in a state of decomposition in the backyard mausoleum. Yes, the embalmed body of the guy who built the Garden of Eden is on display in a glass-topped coffin. The entire place is bizarre and is built out of concrete. And the construction did not begin till the artist - an eccentric civil war vet with WILD political and religious ideas - was well into his 60s. The guided tour is nice and gives a good history about the place and the artist. Recommend visiting if you are in the Lucas/Wilson area. Weird. Delightfully weird.

We are so happy we took the time to go off the beaten path to see this place! Unfortunately, it had closed an hour or so prior by the time we arrived, so we could only read the signs outside and observe the exterior art. We really would have loved to see the inside. This is definitely a hidden gem and something out of the norm!

The pulled chicken was flavorless. The pulled pork and brisket were a little better but equally unremarkable, and we were offered no bbq sauce, which would have helped the taste. And the baked beans tasted like they came from a can. I don't eat coleslaw but my husband was unimpressed. The corn bread tasted more like cake, which is probably good because they served bread pudding, which I don't care for. As for the ride... it was ok... but all they did was take us through farm fields to Enterprise, which had little to offer. Most rides like this would at least offer some tourist information on the area over an intercom but we got none of that. The trip was overpriced and unremarkable. I would not recommend it.
