August 24, 2026 - Winslow, AZ…read more How can you pass up a chance to stand on the edge of one of the best-preserved large impact craters on Earth? If you're in the area, definitely stop. The crater is impressive, but the Discovery Center & Space Museum is worth the visit, too. It's packed with informative, interactive exhibits, plus a 4D movie that's definitely geared toward kids--but we enjoyed it anyway. There's also a movie about the mystery of the crater. We didn't have time to check out the dining area, but it looked like a great spot to relax and grab a bite or drink. Traveling with an RV? There's a parking lot for large RVs. They also have individual outdoor kennels for pets ($17 per pet). We were a little surprised by the entrance price at first, but after seeing everything included, we thought the $27 senior rate was very was actually pretty reasonable. Lots to see and do, and definitely worth the visit.

My family and I were doing a West Coast road trip and the last leg of the trip had us coming…read morethrough Arizona. As soon as I saw this was on our route, I had to make it happen. It is located just a short distance from Flagstaff and right off the interstate in Winslow, AZ. It was a random weekday when we came so there wasn't a huge crowd and parking was readily available. We also waited to get our tickets once we arrived. I subtract a point for the cost of general admission. It's pretty steep at about 29 dollars for an adult. This gets you access to I believe all of the attractions on site. Walking in, you immediately get to see the Holsinger Meteorite which doesn't look insanely big, but it weighs in at almost a ton. Most of the rest of the meteor dissipated upon impact. The impact created is what you came here to see, the meteor crater. It's definitely very cool to see something like this in person because the only other thing I've ever seen about meteor and craters were in books or movies. The crater is almost a mile wide and 750 deep. You gotta see it to believe it. They have multiple lookout points around the crater. Keep in mind, if you come in the summer like us, you're going to get the hot, dessert heart with not lots of shade. They have telescopes if you want to get a better look. There is also an indoor observation area in the Discovery Center. They also have guided tours if you want to walk to walk the rim of the crater. I believe there also also opportunities on certain days to hike the meteor floor. There are also things to see inside. They have the Blast Zone for interactive fun for the kids. There is a museum inside with all kinds of cool information about the meteor and space things. If you want to get off your feet for a little bit, they have a theater that plays a very informative film about the history of Meteor Crater. One of my favorite parts was the 4D theater. It was cheesy, but fun. Another cool thing they have here is an actual Apollo 11 space capsule used for training the likes of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they trained at the Meteor Crater. I love museums and things like this alot and will always stop when nearby. This will most likely be a one and done for me, but I highly suggest stopping by to see it atleast once in your life.

August 24, 2026 - Winslow, AZ…read more We just had to stop so we could be "Standin' on the corner in Winslow, AZ". Big fans of the Eagles. As we rolled into town in our RV on East Third Street, we were surprised by the music strip on the road. As we drove over it, we were treated to the road music of "Take it Easy". So fun! We found a place to park a few blocks away, and walked to "The Corner". (Easy to find--street signs point you in the right direction). Snapped our photos, admired the statues, flatbed ford, mural and angel wings, and then headed to the souvenir shop across the street where we bought a few t-shirts. Great fun--well worth the stop.

A good friend of mine lost her father that dreadful day back in 2001 and all the emotion is still there, especially after talking to my friend on this 20 year anniversary! When Winslow received the beams back in 2002, at the original location on the corner of Route 66 and Transcon Lane, I was there! I was amazed that Winslow received two of the beams from the World Trade Center and why did Winslow receive them? Because they asked! With teamwork from the City of Winslow and the Walmart Distribution Center in Buckeye, the steel girders were delivered within hours of the first anniversary ceremony of this tragedy! Since then, they have been moved to this park location on Route 66, the Mother Road, which is much better and safer for viewing. When we have out of town visitors, this is a definite must see! When I visit the beams, my eyes swell up and when you touch them, you can truly feel the energy these beams carry! The flag at the Memorial was flying over the Pentagon that day and this is stated on the Remembrance Garden plaque. The plaque also states "the words 'United We Stand' remind the world that we will not fear terrorism. We hereby dedicate this garden to Northern Arizona's promise that 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET'."! This Memorial not only shows that our unrelenting heroism and self-sacrifice has never wavered but it is a perfect symbol to show that terrorism, of any kind will not be tolerated, that democracy will prevail and that indeed, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

John's work can be seen throughout the La Posada and AMM, from the fused glass lanterns, ornate gates, and Turquoise Room Bar, to the sculptural winch used to display the large Hubble-Joe rug. Built in the 1930 Depot at the La Posada Hotel, the AMM is small yet fulfilling, with lots of history! There are incredible collections that the museum has gathered with the Winslow Arts Trust. Lots of history and items in regards to Fred Harvey, the Harvey Girls, Mary Coulter, the La Posada, and Winslow's rich cultural history. There are future plans for a sculpture garden, renovation of the 502 Railcar and the Turrell trailer, which are on the premises. We can't wait to see the completion of these exhibits! Danielle was so warm, welcoming, and full of information for visitors. The museum is currently open seven days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM and admission is just $5 (Winslow residents, college students, and Native Americans get in free with proper ID.) They also accept donations on their website, and currently Allan and Tina will match all gifts! Truly, a wonderful experience, and we cannot wait till our next visit! Our out-of-town visitors loved it as well!

It's part visitor center and part museum, with maps and information about the area, plus the old sheriff's office and historic jail cells that you can check out. Even the bathrooms are inside the old sheriff's office, which made for a pretty memorable Route 66 bathroom stop! For anyone collecting stamps along Route 66 or during their travels, bring your stamp book! They have several stamps available, including a Route 66 stamp, a courthouse stamp, and a few others. The best little surprise was that they give visitors a complimentary piece of petrified wood. We thought that was such a cool souvenir to take with us, especially while traveling through this part of Arizona. A really fun, quirky, historic, and FREE stop along Route 66. Definitely worth pulling over for, and consider leaving a donation to help support the museum!

There is a visitor center and two trails here. The Rim trail at a pretty even 0.75 miles is great for people who want a stroll that follows the canyon rim (out and back trail). You can see the structures from the rim, but it's even better with binoculars. The Island trail is slightly longer at 1 mi, but a steeper 185 vertical feet into the canyon with a whole bunch of stairs at the beginning, and returns the same way. I guess people get too tired to climb back up since there are numerous signs warning of the steep climb back. The trail begins at the back door exit of the visitor center, which they close at 4 pm (the entire monument closes at 5 pm, so they don't want anyone to start the trail and get locked in). Both trails were great and they had informational signs along the way. I really liked the Island trail since you get up close and personal with the structures. The visitor center was standard - offering a gift shop, bathrooms outside, and information about the history and significance of the area. The ranger staffing the information desk was pretty patient with the group of tourists and determining if they were fit to do the Island trail. It's a totally different vibe from the Grand Canyon, so don't expect huge views.

Crystal Forest is not only a private gift shop NOT associated with the National Park, but they also a campground. Check this out if you are traveling with an RV or tent because Petrified and Painted Desert do not allow camping to my knowledge. The museum is near the RV parking area. A separate, larger gift shop is on the other side of the National Park entrance. I'm a fan of this shop because they sell a variety of petrified wood that you are not allowed to take from the parks. "Then how do they get the petrified wood?" My oldest asked me. I did not inquire about this with staff members. It was so dark and I knew I would be soon approaching winter storms, so I wanted to get back on the road. Restrooms were available.

Fortunately for Winslow, the Harvey House passenger train stop was designed in 1930 by Mary Coulter of Grand Canyon architecture fame, and has been lovingly restored to one of the most unique hotels, La Posada, with a great restaurant, the Turquoise Room. Also, Winslow had the good fortune to be mentioned in a popular Eagles' song, and you can stand on the corner, with 'such a fine sight to see, a girl my Lord, in a flat board'. The town has created a cute city park around 'the corner' and the souvenir shop across the street plays non-stop Eagles tunes. Winslow has also added an outdoor railroad museum by the very busy train tracks, plus there are a few galleries, shops, and restaurants of the non-chain variety between 'the corner' and La Posada Hotel. Choose the business route off the 40 to Winslow, and take it easy.

The exhibits are fascinating, covering everything from the geology of Northern Arizona to the region's wildlife and the rich history and cultures of the Native peoples. The museum sits on beautiful natural grounds that are worth walking through as well. We brought our 18-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old, and all of them had a great time while actually learning a lot. There are so many interactive elements, including an animal scavenger hunt, pull-out drawers throughout the exhibits, videos, and hands-on displays you can touch. There's also a discovery area with books and toys that our kids absolutely loved. We spent about two hours here, and it was time well spent. If you're visiting Flagstaff, or even if you've been coming here for years like I have, don't make the mistake of overlooking this gem. I'd absolutely recommend it for families and anyone interested in the natural and cultural history of Northern Arizona.
