Winslow is a charming town with nice, very welcoming people who appreciate your visit. The Old Trails Museum highlights the area's history and unique characters who made this town their home.

Prices are exceptional and your purchase helps both a local Native artist as well as a not-for-profit cultural institution. Take a breath, get off the Interstate, go downtown and enjoy this unique Western community. Some parts of the town may look like it is stuck in the Fifties, but in this frenetic, distracted, over-stressed society, maybe that is not all that bad while we are on a vacation! Stand on the corner and enjoy Winslow!

The Sedona Heritage Museum was different from other museums I've visited. While it wasn't very…read moreinteractive, there were plenty of readings and QR codes to scan for audio recordings, which added depth to the experience. It was especially interesting to learn about the family who once lived in the cabin and how the property was passed down through generations, giving a real sense of Sedona's history. Admission is $10, though cultural passes are available through local libraries. It seems the admission fee helps keep the museum running, as there are several signs encouraging visitors to pay at the door. We spent about an hour exploring both the indoor and outdoor exhibits. There were many unique and fun things to see, including the iconic turquoise McDonald's signs, a Morse code learning area, and an old-fashioned apple peeler/corer. Outside, the views of the Sedona red rocks were beautiful, and there's a nice park nearby that's perfect for a short walk. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the gift shop had lots of cute items. A nice bonus was that there's no sales tax in the store. If you have the time and want to learn more about Sedona's history, this is a nice spot.

We spent about 1 hour, maybe a bit more here, exploring several buildings, each filled with Sedona area history. The main building houses a huge amount of local history in the form of plaques, dioramas, physical items, pictures, art and more. The barn houses an old horse draw buggy, a restored vintage Sedona fire truck, an entire apply processing plant and much more. The small, tan colored building seen closest to the entry point is a nearly 100 year old, fully restored movie set piece that was used as the telegraph office. The wireless set is in there along with a vast amount of movie posters, artifacts and details about the impact the filming of nearly 100 westerns had on Sedona. There's also some spectacular views of close rock formations from the property. There are a couple of well done bronze art pieces outside. One is of a Cowboy Storyteller telling stories to two children. Another bronze is of a couple, standing on a broken wagon wheel, holding a lantern and looking straight ahead. This one is by artist John Muir and tells a story. This museum was a real nice visit.

I don't know why so many Yelpers refer to this business as a "scam." The name of the business is METEOR CRATER and that is what you get to see. What exactly were you expecting? Make sure you take the free tour. If you don't take the tour, I just don't know what to say. Inside the main building, there is a decent area with exhibits you can peruse and check out the history of other meteors that hit the earth. Some of the other meteors left craters far, far bigger than this one. Our tour was about an hour long or so--I cannot remember how long exactly--but you get to walk along the rim and hear interesting stories about all the mining efforts inside the crater and the loonies who have fallen in and so on. Even a plane crashed inside this thing. Again, make sure you take the tour. We didn't have time to watch the free movie, although I wish I had done so. There is also a separate area of young kids. There are several free looking devices (you know, those stationary binocular type things) outside the main structure where you can look into the crater. Those are fun to use. Yes, this is expensive but this is also a roadside attraction that is worth the detour. Plan on spending about two hours here. They also have a little cafe with food and booze (including espresso martinis, for goodness sake), if you really want or need to get liquored up in the middle of nowhere, I guess.

It's exactly what it sounds like, a massive crater, and there are some interesting exhibits and information that make it a neat, educational stop (especially for kids). The staff was also very friendly, and the clerk at the front desk was especially welcoming, which we appreciated. That said, if I'm being completely honest, the price point was hard to justify. At $29 per person, it felt very steep for the overall experience. For what's offered, something in the $12-$15 range would feel much more reasonable. I'm glad we saw it, for us it was one of those "check it off the list" places, but not something I would personally return to or go out of my way to recommend at the current price.

Do not pass up this museum and ruin…read more On my first few trips to GCNP I noticed the sign for this museum, but never actually stopped. Like most folks I was focused on the overlooks and ignored this spot. After visiting I am kicking myself for being so shortsighted. This place is great. The museum is small yet very informative. It showcases the people who lived here and has several neat items on display. The things that I found so interesting were their dolls and figures made from twigs. Several were on display and they helped give you a picture into the lives of these people who lived here 800 years before. The ruins are similar to the pueblo style ruins throughout this region. They are less intact than some at the nearby Wupatki so do not expect large free standing pueblos. Despite that, it was pretty easy to walk around and get a feel for their living space. The most impressive point to me was the view of the nearby San Francisco peaks. That view must have been pretty terrifying when the volcano exploded. I hope you heed my advice and add this to your itinerary.

My good friend's father made this museum, and I was lucky to get a tour of it during the winter season. The museum was made by Mr. Richard Mike. He's a a prominent Navajo businessman. He owns several successful businesses on the Navajo Rez. The museum centers around Navajo culture, but there is also a section on Navajo Code Talkers. Richard Mike's father, King Mike was one of the 29 Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. During the warm King Mike mailed back and brought back many artifacts from the war, and many of these pieces are displayed at this museum (and at the Navajo Code Talkers Exhibit next door at the Burger King). This is is the largest collection of Navajo Code Talker memorabilia in the world. The Navajo Code Talkers played an important role in victory in the Pacific Campaign. It was truly a memorable experience to see this part of Native history. It's a source of pride for America and the Navajo Nation. Code Talker pieces are just a part of this museum. There are also sections devoted to Navajo art (such as their famous jewelry and rugs). There are also pieces devoted to the history of the Navajo Nation. The museum is housed in a shade house in the center of the 2.5 acre site. There are also several types of hogans, a sweathouse, food stand, and an area for arts & crafts. So if you're ever in Kayeta (the Gateway to Monument Valley), help support a Native-Owned business, and stay at the Hampton Inn or eat at the Burger King next door. And definitely stop by the Navajo Cultural Center and learn more about the people of the area.

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.
