Staff is friendly, served us right away and were super nice. We just saw Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness last week and the sound/stage were PERFECT!!!

I gave my underage friend ice from my cup that was empty to cool down and was dragged out by security and rudely yelled at outside.

We even tried to buy ice earlier in the night since the water they sell is barely cold and they said no. Egotistical ah security guards. L staff:(

As a native Phoenician who's been visiting Flagstaff my whole life, I can't believe this was my…read morefirst visit to the Museum of Northern Arizona. I genuinely loved it. The exhibits are fascinating, covering everything from the geology of Northern Arizona to the region's wildlife and the rich history and cultures of the Native peoples. The museum sits on beautiful natural grounds that are worth walking through as well. We brought our 18-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old, and all of them had a great time while actually learning a lot. There are so many interactive elements, including an animal scavenger hunt, pull-out drawers throughout the exhibits, videos, and hands-on displays you can touch. There's also a discovery area with books and toys that our kids absolutely loved. We spent about two hours here, and it was time well spent. If you're visiting Flagstaff, or even if you've been coming here for years like I have, don't make the mistake of overlooking this gem. I'd absolutely recommend it for families and anyone interested in the natural and cultural history of Northern Arizona.

It was HOT, dirt filled and not the same vibe as in years past. We still enjoyed the march of the Clans, the band's that played and the occasional performance. The beer is some of our favorite, but even this year it kind of missed the mark. Lines were slow and crammed in the back of performance areas and the beer wasn't as cold as it should have been. Plus, it seems every year it gets more and more pricey. $20 per adult for entry, $5 per kid 2 and older! Plus food isn't anything spectacular and adult beverages are $7! There was a little vendor tent from the local Mason Lodge that had water and little ice creams for $1 and we stopped there three times! I really hope they find a way to move it back or at least find another grassy venue.

Kind of "kick back" but still professional. We really enjoyed the experience. Can't wait to go back…read moreagain next year.

The North Pole was honestly astounding. This was our first time coming up to Flagstaff for…read moreChristmas events, and we were torn between this and another well known activity. We picked the North Pole and I'm glad we did. I wish I could give extra stars because I was beyond impressed. The detail, the staff, and the commitment to making it feel magical for kids were top tier. From the moment you board the trolley, they move you from one fun stop to the next. You get transported to the North Pole, welcomed in, the kids get to build Christmas toys, try Mrs. Claus' snacks, and then you get real one on one time with Santa. There's a lot more ton include, interactive activities, singing and dancing. If you're on the fence, go. You won't be disappointed.

Even better than I expected, i heard from my friend who went there last year but didn't want to do…read moreany research because I also wanted to be surprise for me. As soon as arriving at Little America hotel, there are signs all around to check in for North Pole experience. All the Elfs were super helpful. Check in was easy. But there were so many kids and adults walking around the place. Our ride was at 12.30 and we lined up inside at 12.15. We enter the trolley and the ride is like 10-15 minutes, you can't see through the windows, but there is a TV on and Elf is talking all the time. When we got there, everything was unbelievable. In the first room we meet elves and huge room with compas and all the Christmas decorations. Right after that kids lined up at the door and we enter another room where they got teddy bears and clothes and they need to put the clothes on a bear. This was interactive and very fun experience kids really enjoyed. Next room was the room with the belt where gifts are loaded on the belt. They had music and bubbles coming from the ceiling which was amazing. Next room was like big dining room where all the kids sat down (some adults too?!) And had cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa. Can't remember what was the next room, but very late room was with Santa. They would take pictures with us and Santa. Santa was the coolest guy ever, he talked to us and kids and made jokes. Kids were laughing all the time. He would say silly words so kids would laugh (snicker doodle, fart....) I didn't feel rushed or something. Truly great experience. And plus kids get the black teddy bear with NPX outfit. After Santa's room we exit out to outside area and waited for the trolley to bring us back to the hotel. Amazing and so blessed that I was part of it. Forget to mention room where they were able to write letter to Santa.

The Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival started in 2003 as a two day event at the Orpheum Theatre…read more Nine years later it has expanded to a five day event at three different locations. The energy in the crowd was awesome, the films and performances were great, and I will be sure to make an annual trip up to Flagstaff for this film festival. This year (2012), I attended Saturday's Sessions 9 and 10 at the Orpheum. Session 9: I went for the screening of select scenes of the documentary Wrenched followed by a discussion with cast and crew. It was an awesome event, well organized, very educational, and a thrill for me to meet some of the people who inspired Edward Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang. The feature film of the night, We Are Legion, a documentary about the "hacktivist" group Anonymous, was surprisingly fascinating. As an added bonus to Session 9, Craig Childs gave a highly energetic and comedic spoken work performance about his experiences on an Apocalyptic Planet. Session 10: Extreme Night was an hour and half session, featuring eight short films about extreme and unusual sporting. River surfing, ice and rock climbing, caving, and slacklining were just some of the crazy, thrill seeking sports on display during Extreme Night. My favorites: 1) Sketchy Andy: 21 minute film about Andy Lewis, professional slackliner, highliner, BASE jumper and trickliner. Simply awesome and terrifying! 2) Race For the Nose: 24 minute film about record setting speed rock climbers going up El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Mind blowing! I'm looking forward to seeing the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival grow and I can't wait to attend next year.

There were two collections on display, in two separate rooms. The center was essentially empty so we enjoyed the displays in almost perfect silence. It's a little ways out from downtown, but worth the few mile drive. There is also a historical museum directly in front, if you're interested in both.

Very disappointed. An organizational disaster. People working the event must have all been…read morevolunteers who had ZERO idea on how to run a event. We were very excited to see "Sailing into Oblivion". The tickets stated that you must arrive on time and should you arrive late you would not be seated until intermission. The stated time was 6:30. We arrived at 6PM, it was total chaos. Nothing had been set up and depending on who you spoke with there were several opinions as to when the event would start - 7:30, 8:00, nobody seemed to know. We took a look around the very limited items on display and decided to leave rather that wait an hour and 1/2 or 2 hours. Surprise we were locked in. It took several minutes to find someone with the keys to let us out. We will read the book and watch the uTube videos. I suspect the Center for the Arts operates on an extremely small budget, but considering the fairly large number of artists in the county I was stunned at the extremely limited items on display. Most of questionable quality compared to what I have seen around town. This could be an exciting and valuable art space in Flagstaff. I just question if the people running this venue know what they are doing. Too bad and very sad. As new Flagstaff residents we had hoped this would be somewhere we could enjoy art on a regular basis. Maybe in the future if it improves. Mike
