I was alone and two different Native Women took care of me. They answered my many questions and pointed me in the right direction to Moccasins where I found the kind my mother used to wear. No walking sole, for comfort and bliss, on sand or sidewalk. This tried on many, then bought a turquoise ring for my birthday. Part way through the shopping I gleaned the information that The Aunt who owned the store recently passed on, so they may not be open on weekends for awhile. Here are just a few photos of many that I took. The price was right on my Moccasins and ring! Variety? Indeed! A lot of items for children, men and women! I'll describe in my photos just some of them. Well worth the stop for souvenirs or collectibles, not to mention outside jaw dropped petrified wood, older tents and wagon parts as relics. read more

Maybe I went to the wrong place or it has changed. We were there in October of 2024. We didn't even go inside. When we pulled up and parked, we realized every single car in the parking lot had ALL FLAT TIRES! It freaked us out so bad, we immediately got in our car and squealed out of there! There may have been a note on the door, there may not. Either way, it felt like the start of a horror movie and we chose the live to see another day. If you want a thrill ride maybe this is for you, but it's not for me. I did not take pictures. I was way too scared. But on the way back, we could see the trading post from the road, and all those cars were still there. read more

They have a large selection of petrified wood and gem stones cut and polished. Be aware they are pretty pricey. Service was ok, guy greeted us but everywhere we looked at notes, "You break it, you buy it!" Pretty much. Lol. read more

Honestly, five stars for their dedicated marketing. Their billboards are what drew us in, they had us in stitches - we couldn't NOT stop at this spot on our road trip. The store itself had great tourist items for purchase. Definitely stop in if you see any of these gem of billboards. read more

Located on the I-40, in Joseph City, Arizona - take the Geronimo/ Hunt Rd Exit. This original route 66 landmark Trading Post has been on the painted desert landscape for decades. Boasting some of the largest petrified wood pieces still in existence in the area. A pull off location on the side of road way back in the day, this trading Post sits just off the I40 at its own exit now. The standard native American "souvenirs" can be found here, along with some more traditional pieces of real artisan high end quality. Over the years, I have acquired some beautiful true native American works of art - silver, turquoise, coral, onyx, petrified wood and bead work pieces. Periodically they even have a few estate items in the back cases. As you walk into the front door way the cases immediately in front of you and rows to the left contain more of the standard issue "souvenir" stuff and cheap road side jewelry. To the right, and back are older cases which usually contain - older even vintage more traditional artisan pieces - some are not cheap in these cases - but if you are looking for real artisan pieces - look here. Great cut stone selection as well - Geodes, bookends, polished pieces, big ones, little ones - even a bulk "rock" shop out back (to the right) with bins and piles of rocks to dig around in. This is also a restroom stop, please note they will not offer the rest room to people just passing through usually - it's for shopping customers. Also, remember you're in the middle of nowhere in the desert - they have items from around a buck to in the 1000s - it's a Trading Post. 00089 read more

This is not the typical truck stop native American gift shop. There are so many unique native art and jewelry pieces. The prices are reasonable for one of a kind items. Stop in even if you are just wanting something fun to do. There are so many things inside and out to look at. We will be stopping by everytime we travel thru. read more

This is the epitome of a tourist trap... Run down plywood teepee's and old wagon parts out front. With junk behind the buildings and fences. For the extra effects there are broken down cars in the parking lot giving the effect that there are many people in the store. The Petrified wood chunks out front are very cool. As you walk in the store you realize that most of the store is full of stuff made from China. The two ladies behind the counter hardly pay attention to you. Sifting through the isles searching for SOMETHING to take home as a souvenir I find a back door with poorly marked sign mentioning an outdoor area full of petrified wood. I find myself a chunk of petrified wood to take home. I don't know if the ladies are hustlers or just inexperienced. The lady keeps her hand on the scale to add extra weight. I'm leaning on suspicious since the place sells petrified wood all the time. With unlimited supplies of rock sold by the pound it seems pretty pathetic to try and cheat people for a couple extra bucks. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because of the petrified wood inside and outside of the store. read more

A must stop if you're travelling down I-40. Geronimo Trading Post is designed to draw in the tourists passing through with its interstate billboards and tepees out front. Touristy or not, I suggest you look more closely and you'll find a lot more than the "cheap" trinkets found elsewhere. One of the more impressive items at Geronimo is their collection of large pieces of petrified wood. All were far too expensive for my tastes (thousands of dollars), but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better collection outside of the national park. Once inside the store is packed wall to wall with goods for sale. Some items are the typical goods catering to tourists, but there are also some very nice hand made jewelry in the cases. Prices were slightly higher than I expected but so was the quality. I have always bought something when I stopped here but most of the enjoyment comes from just seeing what they have. Even my kids were impressed with this shop, which is no small feat. If you're on I-40, exit here. read more

This place is pretty awesome. A great spot to take pictures near petrified trees, Teepees and old wagons located in the parking area of the Geronimo Store. Inside the store you will find Native American jewelry, arts and crafts, clothing, hats, and all kinds of unique stones, baskets and more. This place has plenty of atmosphere and charm. The clerk was friendly and this was a real treat to stop by when traveling I-40W in Holbrook, NM. read more

Fun store to walk through. I could have stayed a bit longer to look a little bit more, but we had places to be. My purchase, two pairs of Moccasin's. Not made by Native American's, but that's OK. read more

When I was driving OTR I would stop and buy mu wife turquoise jewelry and she damaged a bracelet. I returned it to see if they could repair it and the lady was very nice and swapped it out even for a new one. read more

Unfortunately, just a bunch of touristic schlock. Their signs advertise a big inventory when in fact it's just the same stuff you see all over the place, most of it mass produced elsewhere. I came here because they advertised cacti and I was looking for a specific cactus. I was happy to see it planted in the parking lot, but when I got inside, the lady working there rather dismissively waved towards the corner when I asked about cacti. There were just generic small cacti arranged in pots like you can find at any touristic location. I would just skip. read more

I come through on my way to see my sister in Vernon..This time I came on my way home-yesterday..I was excited bc they have the neatest things! I get most of my survenoirs here and my youngest granddaughter just started collecting stones..I wore a mask thinking I had to but appearently not bc the older,small lady working here didn't wear one .As I was completing my shopping,I put my basket down..She said I had to move it to the other side of the counter..So I did...I was looking at the magnets again and found one. As she rung me up she messed up a few times swearing at herself for it.. One magnet didn't have a price on it and she said she needed one..I guess it my was job to find it so I did,but they weren't the exact one! I finally found one she was less than thankful...Also she was reluctant in giving me an.itemized receipt..Later found out she overcharged me..She lacks customer service and shouldn't be helping the public! I'll never stop back by again! read more

The largest petrified tree out front is amazing and worth the stop. The store contains the usual wares for the area but we found a few things that worked for us. Prices on the jewelry are road shop high - much better deals in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or Taos. read more

Very run of the mill kitschy Souvenir shop. They do have quite a collection of petrified wood in various sizes and price points. After selecting the perfect souvenir for my daughter, I was really disappointed that the store had a minimum of $10 to use a card. As a small business owner myself, I understand that credit card processing fees suck, but in 2019, you either take cards or you don't. Cute little setup outside for a photo opp, but if you are looking for unique items and the ability to not be told how much you have to spend to shop, go elsewhere. After reading the other reviews I was concerned they wouldn't have a restroom, which is necessary on a long car trip. As of September 2019, there are restrooms for use in the store. read more

Nice people. Good place to stop if you need to potty. No pressure on buying anything. We bought a few gifts here for some friends. A little bit crowded, some of the rocks are from around the globe, but there are handmade native Indian goods along with genuine polished and unpolished petrified wood. A few chochkis, and collectable items like spoons, thimbles and magnets for all states. They do make sure that you know that if you break something, consider it yours and sold. I'd strongly recommend not bringing your kids, or if you're clumsy like me, focus on walking the narrow aisles without making anything fall!! :) Highly recommend this place! There is something for everyone here. And again, even if you can't buy anything, they won't pressure you to buy anything - unless you break something! :) read more

This is a fairly standard "trading post" off of 1-40 with a variety of Native American themed artifacts. Most of the items seemed to be mass produced somewhere outside of the U.S., which deterred me from buying anything. But, the staff was really nice and the bathroom was very clean. read more

This store has lots of small items to collect or not. Many small tourist items to sell. They do have lots of items made of petrified wood if you never seen anything made of this wood check out what they have here.Tree turning into stone .I'm sure you will find something you can purchase. This isnt Macys or Nordstrom, so if yiure a snob of those stores why waist your time. Nice store. read more

Stopped off here to check out Knick knacks on our 4 days traveling, only place for miles on our way to petrified forest. Ran into shop because my 3 year old had to go the the bathroom. All six of us came in the door to shop, I asked for bathroom for my toddler and guy behind counter insisted he had NO bathroom on property. I asked there's gotta be one, she's gotta go, he insisted there wasn't. First off why would expect people to stop and shop if you can't even provide them with a restroom when we are all on road traveling in order to stop by your shop. Secondly, she was a 3 year old! If you weren't a jerk off you could've offered her your employee bathroom because EVERY place has a rest room! We walked out and refused to spend a penny. My best friend is here on vacation blowing money. You're the first place in 4 Days she hasn't dropped a ton of money. Thumbs down don't shop here cause they want all your money but can't let you pee read more

Stopped to shop but found no restroom .. can't shop when your needing a Relief after crossing the desert...

I stopped there planning to shop for a bit and spend alot of money. Had been driving a long time and neededthe restroom bad. I asked the lady working where it it was and she promptly said they didn't have one. She directed me to the two truckstop in either direction 2 miles away. So what does she do when she needs to go?. I will spend my money elsewhere. read more

Fun store! Bought some really funny gifts here that were a hit with my friends! Would def. go back if i'm in the neighbourhood.

Holy shit, $5 for a pencil, and $8 for a dub sack of painted rocks that you can get at the local fish shop for 2 lbs for a $1. I understand that they need to make money some how, but charging these prices for silly trinkets is ridiculous. The crater giftshop had a lot of the same things for 1/3 the price. read more

I had a really good experience. In fact, I had to stop at the next rest stop to say something. The young guy at the counter was really nice. The Great conversation actually made me want to stay longer and buy more. I'd have stayed longer if I didn't have pressing obligations in Los Angeles. Thank nice counter guy for all your expertise!!!! read more
