We stopped in Jerome and was not disappointed. It is a cute town in Arizona's Black Hills. It promotes being a ghost town, and is considered one of the most haunted places in Arizona. We were able to park on the street for free, but there is also areas to pay for parking. We spent a few hours walling the town, going in and out of shops, galleries and wineries. Many of the buildings had plaques stating what the building was in the past. A nice way to learn about the history of the town. The views of the Sedona's Red Rock , Verde Valley and the San Francisco Peaks were beautiful. Worth spending a few hours visiting. read more

Visited Sedona and went to Jerome on way to airport. Underwhelming and not worth the drive. The meter cop was rude. No culture or history. Sad looking town. read more

A fantastic, old West mining town on the top of the hill turned into a lovely tourist attraction with restaurants and museums, but awesome! Certainly if you are the type that would like to see an old ghost town you should definitely put Jerome your list! I really enjoyed the welcome center, and then the town itself! I won't lie the drive up and down the hill for me was a little stressful. I mean safe but you know if you're afraid of heights I do recommend going but just take your time. Go slow and certainly make sure you drive during the day and leave before sunset heading down the hill. I wish the railings were larger on some parts of the drive up and down the hill, but anyway enough of that. It really is an easy drive I don't want to scare you into not going, but I'm from the East Coast where everything is flat so for me it was a bit stressful lol. The main part of town is only about two or three blocks wide and then maybe I don't know five or six blocks long really fantastic little place! Make sure you hit all of the museums and in the downtown area as well, there were so much fun and learned so much about Jerome It was really easy to do in a half day. You probably only need a few hours in town, maybe two or three hours to walk around maybe add another hour on for a meal. We stopped in a pizzeria, which was absolutely delicious and we were in and out there in 30 minutes and we got to sit at a table in order. Absolutely fascinating place, you might want to start at the welcome center at the very top of the hill to understand the history of the town and to see a three-dimensional model of the entire town before actually heading into the town and parking. You might want to get there a little on the earlier side of the day too, so you could get a parking spot I mean, we had no trouble. We parked in the area around the sliding jail. You might want to look and understand where there's parking before you go, but other than that, you probably could find a spot pretty easy. There are two main streets in the town where many of the buildings have a plaque outside and describe what the building used to be used for back in the old West days. I love just walking along the street, stopping at every historic home and reading about it. I had a great time here! It really made a wonderful trip out to Sedona even better! Highly recommended for a side trip while staying in Sedona, I would travel during the light hours of the day as you will be driving up and down a hillside. read more

Cute town. We were on our way to Sedona and decided to stop in Jerome for lunch. We had a great lunch at the Haunted Hamburger. While going through Jerome, we saw scores of cute little shops. After lunch, we stopped at the Historical Society to tour their display. We also went through a couple of shops and ended up buying at one of them. One could spend hours walking around the shopping and art districts of Jerome. read more

Used to be a great place just like many have said but it's no longer the case. This place turned into a money making machine with nothing left from a "ghost town" aspect. What kind of ghost town charges six dollars for parking and has parking enforcement ? There are renovations and constructions everywhere and someone's trying to sell you things in every corner. This is no longer Jerome I used to love. read more

Holy moly! Getting to Jerome is cray cray!! I mean you have to drive some carzzzy switchbacks all the way to the top of the mountain to get there with some heart stopping views of sheer cliffs as you drive on the 2 lane road. Once you get into town it's hard to find parking or turn your car around for that matter. The town was packed when we drove through so we did not stop. Personally I don't think I'd want to make the drive again, yeah man the drive is that scary. But for you adventures people...... go for it, I think it's worth a trip, just drive slow and be patient driving there and in town. read more

I love how mining town buildings are built and layered. I love Jerome, Bisbee, Auburn, etc. The hills, slopes, walking, and local shops make it beautiful. We loved the art galleries, Haunted Pizano, the views, the greenery, the Amore dress shop, and Made in Jerome Pottery shop. read more

They give out $25 parking tickets where there is poor or no signage. They shouldn't ding people who visit their town. I wrote to the mayor who responded that the signage exceeds national standards. But it doesn't meet the courtesy of being visible when I'm searching for a parking space in an unfamiliar town. I checked the Town's budget and they budget $355,000 in parking revenue v. $54,000 for Fines and forfeitures. That doesn't sound like it's worth the labor to cruise around and issue tickets at $140/day average. read more

Jerome, Az - Parking spaces where they give out tickets. - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

Great place to visit, we drove in from Prescott on a very windy road. It's a very small mountain mining town with wonderful views, rich history, hilly streets, outdoor artwork, and cute artsy shops. It supposedly is a haunted ghost town, which makes this place very touristy. And there is a haunted cave on the side of the highway we stopped at that was hard to get to. Parking can be limited here, there are small parking lots that you pay $5 for the day to park or you can try to find street parking if you don't mind walking far or uphill. They have a few haunted places to stay at if you're looking for a scary place to stay for the night. They also have ghost tours, a few wineries, restaurants, an awesome fudge shop, and saloon/bars. I did a ghost tour with my husband using a spirit box and found the outside art area to be very active with "spirits" communicating with us, which I thought that was exciting, but was most likely just a tourist trap. If you're looking for a grocery store or gas station here, you won't find any, you will have to drive into the next town. I highly recommend visiting Jerome, also known as "The Wickedest Town in the West." read more

BEWARE OF THE JEROME CITY PARKING SCAM!! We parked before getting lunch and when we came outside we had a parking ticket - several other cars did as well for no reason!! A man named Kurt DeMichiel had erroneously issued parking tickets for many cars, all legally parked with absolutely no recourse. We called the police department to report it but never received a response. This town is a TOTAL SCAM and not worth your time! read more

Review #1200 Jerome always makes for a fun day trip from the Valley. I have been coming up here for many years. For many, Jerome is known as an old mining town. But it is also known for its charm. It is artsy, it is a foodie destination and it has a rich history here in the state of Arizona. It is also haunted (more on that). Jerome is located on a hill called Cleopatra Hill that overlooks the Verde Valley between Prescott and Sedona. Back in its heyday, Jerome was known for copper mining until the 1950's. Today it is a tourist attraction for visitors, artists and photographers from all over the world. I first visited Jerome back in the 90's. My favorite place to eat is the Haunted Hamburger. The food is good and they always have Halloween decorations up. The Flatiron is my favorite place for coffee. You can't miss it because it is housed in a building that looks like NYC's Flatiron building. Jerome's First Saturday Art and Wine Walk takes place every first Saturday of the month and is a nice relaxing evening out. The Christmas Store is a fun place to visit because they sell Christmas items all year round. My favorite places to stay overnight are the Hotel Connor, the Surgeon's House Bed & Breakfast and the Grand Hotel (if you dare!). Jerome is also known as a ghost town. If you love Halloween, this is the place to be. The whole town dresses up for it. During the early days, Jerome was named the "Wickedest Town in the West". Saloons and brothels lined the streets. Gambling was also a big thing. It's believed that many people died in the Jerome Grand Hotel during its previous time as United Verde Hospital. Ghost sightings have been rumored for years at that hotel. Today, the city has fun with the whole haunted thing. Many of the businesses here have a haunted theme to them. There is a book about Jerome's haunted past and they offer ghost tours. One of my favorites things about Jerome is that it is close to many Arizona attractions and towns. Prescott, Sedona and Cottonwood are all nearby. Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot are a couple National Monuments in the area. You can also do some wine tasting at many of the wineries in Oak Creek, Cottonwood or Sedona. I have found the locals in the town of Jerome to be friendly. If you want to plan a fun affordable day away from the Valley, Jerome is a great destination. read more

I don't believe in hauntings or ghosts but there's no denying this town has spooky vibes. The whole town looks like it's about to slide off the cliff. There's quite a few shops and restaurants, especially considering how remote it is. If you're driving through it's worth planning a stopover here to browse around town. read more

Such an amazing little town tucked the mountains just east of Sedona. We went to miners ghost town, haunted hamburgers and the spirits room. It's definitely worth the trip here. All the locals businesses were friendly and welcoming. Epic views of the Verde Cannon. read more

Jerome, Az - This is our seat at the Haunted Hamburger. - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

For some reason I was expecting more from this famous town on the mountain side. Sure there is some great history and the State Historic Park is very good (see separate review) but the town itself has become another typical tourist town with lots of shops and restaurants. Though in this case with a mining theme. Given it was a beautiful Sunday it was pretty crowded and we were lucky to find a parking spot ($5 for the day - we only were there an hour or so). We did stop in the Historical Society and paid the $2 for a tour which was mildly interesting. My advice cruise through town and head to the State Historic Park on the outskirts. read more

Mostly shops , Art and saloon type bars. read more

Jerome, Az - Verde Valley from Jerome - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

One of the coolest little towns in the US. There's a lot of history and charm here. Originally a copper mining town, Jerome had a population of over 10,000 people in the 20s. Now, it's more like 400+. You won't find a Starbucks or a McDonald's here. I'm not even sure if there's a gas station in town. I don't recall seeing a grocery store either. It's a lovely place to get away from everything commercial and enjoy its small town magic. A few recommendations from personal experience (see separate reviews): -The Jerome Grand Hotel. Previously a hospital. Creepy and cool. -Audrey Headframe Park. Quick stop where you can stand over glass covering a 1,900 foot mine shaft. Loved it. -Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes. Unique and friendly kaleidoscope shop. -Sliding Jail. Right in the middle of town. Very quick stop. -Art galleries. Walk around and explore. -Maynard James Keenan fans: he owns Puscifer the Store and Caduceus Cellars (next door to each other). While I really liked Caduceus Cellars, I wasn't a huge fan of the Puscifer store. Either way, both are a must for fans of MJK. There are other activities and restaurants that I didn't get to experience. I encourage you to do your own research. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Jerome if you get a chance. read more

Jerome, Az - Sliding Jail - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

Its a cute little historical town that sits on a little hill a few minutes away from Sedona, AZ. It is the home of Caduceus Cellars (that I fan girl over). But I've noticed how it is wine-country up here! The local stores are locally owned by the community and people here are very welcoming and nice. I do hope that more people visit and support the business too. It seems like there are historical tours etc from the busses that come through in the town. Expect to go on Wine Flights, dine and shop...you are guaranteed to see amazing views, walkable areas, historical landmarks preserved in time. read more

Jerome is just not the kind of place you find on the East Coast. It's a cute little "ghost town" about 40 minutes from Sedona. I guess it was a big copper mining town 100 years ago; but the population dropped from over 50,000 to about 500. Now it seems to feed on tourism ; but it still has the quaint look & feel of a century ago. All the old buildings have been converted into cute shops and restaurants with a very "artsy" vibe. We visited on a Monday morning in July, and were afraid that not many stores would not be open. We were pleasantly surprised that there were many cute shops with everything from Christmas ornaments, to copper jewelry, to Indian crafts, to local artwork and t-shirts. There was even an amazing store that only sold kaleidoscopes! We found a few things and were really impressed by the work of local artists! Plus all the shop owners/workers were very friendly and I think they all had complimentary hand sanitizer just inside the doors. There were several cute eateries around and we stopped for lunch at Haunted Hamburger on a friend's recommendation. It seems to be an iconic restaurant and was very good. There were many other options too, and the smells of delicious food were wafting all across the town. There was at least one hotel in Jerome. I don't know if it warrants a multiple day stay....but it's worth a visit for a day and it's a definite change of pace from. Sedona or any other nearby big cities. read more

Decided to stop and visit since we were in Sedona and it was less than 35 miles away. We went to do an adventure quest, and being that it was August and temps were getting over 100 with high humidity, we decided to start early in the morning. There are also signs posted warning you to not leave your animals in the car since they can die very quickly from the extreme heat. Jerome is a small and quaint 1 horse town, but worth the drive to go see. There are parks, mines, old buildings, shops, restaurants, and there is plenty of history still evident. We went into several places, and 2 of our favorites were the Haunted Hamburger and Mooey Christmas and Udder Things store. The Haunted Hamburger has a good story and has been featured in articles and on TV. The food is good, reasonable prices, and great service. The Mooey Christmas store has so many gifts, especially if know someone that likes Cows. But there are all kinds of gifts. Very nice owner and her son owns the Haunted Hamburger. Take a stroll down the main streets to see plenty of history. From old buildings, to giant boilers, to the house of Joy. read more

Jerome, Az - Shop Jerome Arizona! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

Believe it or not this town of about 400 residents is a popular tourist attraction in these parts. There are no gas stations, convenience or grocery stores. I didn't see anything that was part of a chain business not even a Dollar store. There are a few bars, restaurants and local hotels and many souvenir and art stores. If you want a T shirt you can find it here! Some of the art stores are quite nice too. It doesn't start to get busy until around 10 am and then by 5 pm most of the visitors have left and then most of the retail stores have closed. At night it's just a couple of bars and restaurants that are still open. Parking during the busy time is tight with some free street parking and some pay parking in nearby lots. Fortunately the town has a free shuttle service that runs regularly if you park in one of the pay lots. This is a hilly town and small some people will appreciate the shuttle. I've eaten at the Mine Cafe, Haunted Hamburger and Bobby D's and all three were 4 star restaurants. I didn't eat at Ckinkscale because of time but believe it is in that category. I've stayed at the Connor Hotel and enjoyed its old world style and it's excellent location. Jerome is a quaint tiny town nestled in the side of a mountain with a rich history. If you need first world amenities you can get them down the mountain in Clarkdale and Cottonwood and then Sedona is just a little further. It's a nice place to visit and even spend the night. read more

I hate to be this person, but this tourist trap just wasn't worth the drive during our Phoenix/Sedona trip.

Tuesday, 4/12/2022 - We stopped by a little town called Jerome, AZ. Cute little town with gift shops, restaurants, etc and lots of kind people. They have a paid parking for $4.00. Make sure to put your parking ticket on your dash board. We checked out several gift shops, Jerome Museum, and decided to head elsewhere for lunch. Nice town. read more

What a cute little town. We came here for some lunch and wine tasting and ended up spending the whole day! So much to see and experience. Cute little shops, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, historic places and friendly people. They charge $3 for parking, which is worth it. Bobby D's bbq was fantastic. Vino Zona is a great wine tasting room. We definitely plan on going back and staying a night here so we can explore the town a bit more! read more

Some might say that Jerome wasn't built in a day, and they're right! Founded as a mining town in the 19th century, it was named after the United Verde Copper Company's investor and secretary Eugene Jerome. Centuries later, the "bones" of the town still remain as it looks like a lot of the old architecture still remains, adding to the charm of this town. Speaking of bones, they say there's a few spots here that are rumored to be haunted! It's a small town, so there's basically one main parking lot near the park most people park at and you walk everywhere. There are some steep-ish steps to get up the hill so be sure to bring comfy shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty. The shops and restaurants are quirky, the residents cool and friendly, and it's a sample of a historic mining town all in one. It's about a 2 hour drive from the Phoenix area which makes it a nice little destination for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway. Go visit! read more

I'll never forget our trip to Jerome. We saw it in the distance sitting up on the mountain. My GF's mom even made some type of comment about, "That little town way up there!" Little did we know that we were driving to that particular town! Touristy town? Absolutely but it's a town that sprung up on the side of the mountain. When watching that cool little mountain town show called South Park, this is what I think of minus the snow. The good news is that there are only so many tourists that will drive up this mountain all at once. It makes it more hippie than touristy AND I LOVE IT! We only went to Jerome because there is a certain winery owned by one of my favorite musicians, Maynard from TOOL. I was in the vicinity and just had to go. I already typed up a review for that winery so I won't blabber on about it in this one. We didn't spend much time in Jerome. It would've been cool to go on some of the ghost tours there. We did check out a cool taphouse. I don't like to aimlessly hang out in random bars but I liked the taphouse in this town. It was cozy. We also needed something to eat! Haunted Hamburger! Of course! Why wouldn't we eat hamburgers... THAT ARE HAUNTED! There's a cool story about the place and this is another spot that I already typed a review for so I won't blabber on here about it. When we were finishing up our meal and heading out, it was already starting to get packed. I could see this town being a complete nightmare during certain times of the year. If you're in Arizona and close to Jerome, go ahead and make the trip. Whether you're in search of ghost tours, art, cobblestone walkways, shops, food or drink, you could easily spend an afternoon or day there. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful time visiting Jerome. It first came across my mind to visit when I read about a ghost tour being offered. It seemed like it would be fun to participate in exploring old buildings and learning about the history of the old copper mining town. There is definitely a lot of small town warmth in Jerome. All of the local residents , shop keepers, food servers and artists that we came into contact with were welcoming. While here you can visit the largest kaleidoscope store, museums, tour the Jerome State Historic Park and much more. We had lunch at the Haunted Hamburger, shopped in several of the stores and took a tour to learn more about the mines and the history of many of the buildings still standing in town. read more

Feelings In A Song "Crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted any one like this It's all brand new. You'll feel it in my kiss." The song on the CD player begins to fade as we pull into one of the few improvised parking spaces within this diminutive and historic mining / ghost town. My blonde, whimsical friend immediately hops out of the car, runs towards the Sliding Jail, and asks me to take a quick picture before the moment fades away. However, just as a century's existence hasn't dissipated the vibrancy of this town; neither has the few decades of marriage caused my memory of that moment to wane! We were just kids at that time, both teens in college taking one of our first road trips together. But, that first road trip is as sweet as each and every road trip we take to this day. My parents warned me of women like her. Blonde, irascible, flighty - the downfall of many a good man. And yet, it was with this young lady that I would commit to share the rest of my life with. Continually and emphatically stating and "wearing out the words, I love you!" As we pulled into town this January morning; we both could not help but exclaim how crowded, busy and alive Jerome was. It's as if many have discovered its lasting beauty and wanted to partake of this stunning display of tenacity, artistry, and old world lifestyle before life became overwrought and technologically complex. This town is a great metaphor of my undying love for her, because "I love her more today, than yesterday. But, not as much as tomorrow!" It's the truest demonstration that true love never dies. Age hasn't diminished the distinct appeal of this town, and why thousands flock each year to sample its many offerings. Sadly, the passage of time has taken its toll on my beloved. Plagued by persistent health issues due to her lack of self-care early on in her life before she met me; I was quite dismayed by her lack of exuberance as we walked up and down these streets. I have survived more than a lifetime's worth of trials and grief, but I know for sure that "I won't last a day without her." So, we sat for many moments admiring the weather, and the beauty of this town and how it stands as a testament to its populace' desire to transform a derelict mining community into an artistic haven. I tried to make light of my beloved's malady, just so that we could stay long enough to enjoy more of what this town had to offer. But, after a lack of energetic response, in spite of my encouragement, it was time to go home. A recent conversation between one of my more outspoken family members and my Beloved alluded to the fact that I had misspent my talents and abilities. Having married so young, and starting a family with no resources when I had access to nearly everything. It caused some despair within my Beloved, because she felt as if she was the cause of me not discovering the cure for cancer or some other ridiculous aspiration that my family had for me. And as she shared this conversation with me, I could not help but gaze into the most beautiful green eyes that I have ever beheld in my entire life. She, being a very shy lady, had to coyly look away, wondering out loud who I was staring at. And I reiterated to her the persistent and thematic idiom that I always state, that I may never be famous, and perhaps, I may not be a billionaire (though I know several personally); but one thing I will always be known for - that my love for my Beloved began as a friendship, and became a love affair that lasted a lifetime! As she began to cry, I uttered these words from one of the myriad of love songs that I know so very well... " Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose / And it's you and me and all of the people / And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you" If you've never visited and beheld this town, called Jerome, Arizona, we encourage you to partake of its old world beauty. We guarantee, you'll be enthralled by all that this town has to offer. It may not have the panache and sophistication of a modern city, but it truly has a charm all its own. And maybe, just maybe, you'll leave with a lasting memory for lifetime! And as we drove down the steep hill, this January 2016, this song comes on from my playlist that just speaks volumes of our love affair, and summarily sends tears streaming down my face as she sleeps in the passenger seat next to me. 100 Years by Five For Fighting ... I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live ... I'm 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are... read more

Leave it to the Mayor and City Council to kill one of the best tourist attractions in Arizona. Implementing paid parking not only upset the tourists but know the residents are insulting the tourists over parking. We discovered the paid parking on our last visit for lunch at the Haunted Hamburger (something we do several times a year). Parking was a disaster, with very little information about how or where to pay and no information about any shuttle service, it made it very difficult for senior citizens to get around. Even during the week (which when we go to avoid the weekend crowds) there are more cars than parking spaces available. We have decided that senior citizen visitors are no longer encouraged or wanted in Jerome. Consequently we will find other great places for lunch like Dewey or Prescott Valley. Jerome is now just like Sedona and San Diego! Great places to avoid!!! read more

Former mining town, tourist ghost town, current mini Sedona. Our overloaded car didn't love the chug up the mountain. It is steep, and turn-y. But the town is charming AF. A nice place to spend an afternoon or a day. If you aren't staying here, parking might be tricky to find. Once you find it, stay there and get around via your feet. It is a small town. Wineries, bars, restaurants, haunted hotels (and hamburgers :-P), and art galleries galore! Highly recommend at least a short visit to see what it is all about. read more

Such a great little town but have to take a .5 star away for parking. So this review is 4.5 stars. Parking sucks, especially for the Haunted Burger. Obviously, since this is a small historic town the roads are not modern. The little town itself is so cute because it is not modern. It has a nice, antique feel to it. I honestly liked this place more than I did the actual Grand Canyon (which is what I came to Arizona for). There is lots to do- several cool eateries, shops, tours (ghost tours even) and prices are pretty fair. This town was a mining town before it became what it is now. You can also lodge in Jerome, they have places for you to stay. Please do yourself the favor and try Haunted Burger, it was so good! They also have a place that was an asylum before but it is a restaurant now. Totally worth the drive if you ask me :) read more

I had to go into the Bank of America in Sedona, Az because some jerk used my cards for purchases in Michigan thus cards ... cancelled by bank. While in there the sweet woman asked if we had visited Jerome. It wasn't on our list of places to visit but well we detoured as she stated it was a must. What she neglected to say was that it was a narrow, steep road that climbed up and up in order to get to Jerome. As I hate heights I may be exaggerating but my friend did say I was praying as she drove. I didn't realize this ... haha. This old copper mining town was completely worth my brief terror. The views are amazing! Then the town has some very cute shops, wine tasting, art, restaurants, and hotels. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a place to walk around. You have to experience the "ghost town" on foot. I highly recommend that you add Jerome to your itinerary if visiting this area of Arizona. read more
