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.

I ordered the Cobb salad and it was legitimately one of the best salads I've had on the road -- fresh, flavorful, generous portions, and just overall excellent. The food here is outstanding. Unfortunately we were on a tight schedule so I didn't get a chance to try any of their beers, which was a bummer. Next time I'm definitely making time for a pint or two. The atmosphere is great -- lively and welcoming with a nice brewery vibe. Just a heads-up: there's a railway very close by, so it can get pretty loud if you're sitting outside. It didn't bother me at all, but if you're there for good food and conversation, I'd recommend grabbing a table inside. Once you're indoors the noise shouldn't be an issue. Overall, fantastic spot with amazing food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're passing through 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
