    First off, some of the signs pointing to the entrance of this place are flat out incorrect. Second…read moreoff, it's not worth it to buy a $5 pass. The main attraction really is the mansion so just buy a $18 pass which gives you access to the mansion tour as well as the outside grounds (which is what the $5 pass gives you access to). As for as museum goes, the subject material isn't that interesting: it's about a random wealthy family. Imagine a 100 years into the future we have a museum about a random millionaire. Our tour guide, Marco, was fantastic and great at answering questions for our little group of 4. The mansion really is just a showcase of how a wealthy person's home from the early 1900's. You get a glimpse into their business and personal lives as well as the type of furniture employed in the household. The tour was interactive and nice. The self guided tour is just literally walking around the mansion so there isn't too much to see but it makes for a nice, short walk. Overall, I think that there are more interesting museums out there. But if you're looking for a super quiet museum to browse, this would be the place.

    Brenden did an EXCEPTIONAL job giving us a private tour of the mansion. He was full of facts and…read morestories. The artifacts & history packed into this mansion are so cool! You really got a sense of who these people were and how well they lived. The grounds are stunning and we really enjoyed the outside self guided tour. We were there two hours and I'd go back in a heartbeat!

    I visited Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff recently to check out some of the new additions and…read morerenovations that have been done over the past few years. The last time I was here was well over ten years ago. I have been a huge astronomy nerd since I was a kid. This place has changed so much since I last came here. They did an impressive job with the expansion and upgrades. We enjoyed exploring the Discovery Center and walking on the outdoor pathway to the telescopes. Lowell Observatory is one of the oldest observatories in the U.S. and was founded by astronomer Percival Lowell. It was at Lowell that American astronomer and telescope maker Clyde Tombaugh discovered the dwarf planet Pluto in 1930. The original telescope (called an astrograph) that he used is still here at Lowell Observatory and you can check it out while exploring this place. We came here in the evening and enjoyed walking around under the stars. There is a Mars Rover parked outside that greets you when you enter. The new Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center is three levels and has a gift shop and a cafe. On the roof is the open-air Dark Sky Planetarium that offers a 360-degree view of the night sky. There are games, activities and science exhibits in the Discovery Center for both kids and adults. After spending some time here, we went outside to check out the telescopes. The walking path around Lowell Observatory is my favorite part. The outdoor pathway is illuminated by glow-in-the-dark art depicting the Pleiades, comets and the Milky Way. We walked over to the Giovale Open Deck Observatory first. It was too cloudy to see anything through the telescopes on the evening that we were here. So we headed over to the dome that houses the Pluto Discovery Telescope. They have renovated this telescope since I was last here. It got a paint job and looks nicer. It was really cool to be in the same spot where history was made a hundred years ago. I highly recommend checking Lowell Observatory. I am biased because I am a huge science nerd. But they really did do a nice job with the new upgrades. Come here at night when you can gaze at the stars.

    So much more than five stars! Lowell is a wonderful place…read moreatop hills of Flagstaff. My fiancé and I visited during the day on summer solstice. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor exhibits, especially sun viewing through telescope, walking the scaled galaxy walk and the dome telescope where Pluto was discovered. We came back at night for stargazing . Such a wonderful experience. It gets cold so wear jackets and layers at night. They had glow in dark paths to illuminate walking. And sky viewing was magical!! There were multiple telescopes through which we saw stars, galaxies, star clusters. Even the observatory helpers had a laser pointer to point out constellations. All the stars for this observatory! Must visit while in Arizona to learn about our universe

Somewhere along the line, we missed the boat. I ordered the Lumberyard mac & cheese and added pulled chicken and roasted poblanos. My goodness it was a lot of food. The mac & cheese was good, not southern good, but still good. The poblanos were a perfect addition but the chicken was drowned in a cloyingly sweet BBQ sauce. I definitely wouldn't order the chicken again. The hubs had the Santa Maria tri tip. The meat was tough. Quite a few pieces too tough to even chew. Luckily, my meal was huge so he had that to fill up on. I saw the 32 oz cocktails and the former party girl in me immediately kicked in. I think my husband saw the look in my eyes. Maybe the aura around me and put a kabosh on it immediately. I ended up with a 16 oz, still large but that inner 22 years old was disappointed. 32 oz and you should be stumbling down San Fransisco. 16 oz should have at least brought a big 'ol grin. But alas, I couldn't even taste the alcohol. That inner party girl didn't let out that big 'ol grin. (That's ok. The tolerance of 22 year old me has faded through the years). Enough digression, would we come back? Yes, I think it's worth a second shot. We would, however, try something different.

We stayed in…read morethe city of Flagstaff so on a Friday after breakfast, we took an hour to explore downtown Flagstaff. My friend Melanie wanted to look for small gems (or Crystals?) for her boyfriend so we stopped into the store. INSIDE - this is a cool store with all sorts of ornament looking things. They sell pottery, jewelry, natural hair and skin products, carvings, herbs, spices, and tea. My friend bought a small elephant shaped stone thing for her boyfriend. I don't know the exact name for it but it looked cool. I ended up buying a small packet of loose leaf ginger tea with a tea sifter. The tea didn't taste good and it wasn't as strong as I would have liked. I love that the big paintings and stone carvings are made by local artists. SERVICE - Service was warm and pleasant. The young man who helped us while inside was nice. If you're a tourist visiting Flagstaff and you are looking for a unique store, then I recommend Winter Sun Trading. **** - 166 total reviews in 2019 - 375 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 29 December 2019
