This is a review of the Third Annual Flagstaff Wine and Food Festival. It was held on June 9, 2012…read morefrom 1pm to 5pm at the Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill Park. It is a beautiful park, surrounded by trees and a very relaxed atmosphere. It is also very intimate and low key, making it easy to get some wine and food from the vendors. The ticket price is $30 which is fair since it is all you can eat and you get 4 wine sampling tickets (although some places don't take your tickets). There were about ten food vendors and the best had to be Cottage Place which served up beef with potatoes au gratin. We were lucky to win tickets through Friends of Coconino County Parks, but I would gladly pay the $30 next year to go again.

When I think about heaven, I think about beer taps as far as the eye can see that pour deliciously…read morecrafted high gravity beer. Despite some minor details that I will point out here, this beer festival was basically like the heaven I always dreamed about. For $40 (in advance) you get a mini mug and 24 drink tickets that can be used to get any beer at any of the stands. The city of Flagstaff offered up its bus line to drive participants to and from the county fair grounds where the festival was being held, FOR FREE. The line to get into the fest was ridiculously long but it went by very quickly. The lines to get beer were long but they also went by very quickly. We created a system, we would stand in line and get a beer and then drink that beer while waiting in the next line. What ended up happening was that we would have to slam our mini mugs because the lines went so fast and we were getting faded too quickly. I'm not talking about some pansy ass 5.0% beers, nah, if these beers had nut sacks, they'd drag on the ground, 11% muthafuckas. I tried to get a list of all of the breweries that showed up but I got drunk and forgot. Now for the downers, the festival is held at a country fairground that hasn't been paved in 50 years, the ground was in bad shape. Huge potholes were making people drop like flies and this was 10 minutes into the festival - by the fourth hour after plenty of beers, we didn't have a fighting chance. Secondly, I saw several people throwing their beers into the trash. I feel like these people should be escorted off the premises immediately and banned from ever coming back to future festivals. I know these issues aren't the festivals fault and they have to give a ticket to any asshole with $40 but it still made me mad to see them wasting beer. TIPS: Buy your tickets in advance, they are $50 at the door and they sold out quckly. If you're coming from out of town, find a hotel within walking distance of the bus stop. Wear a pretzel necklace.

We've been to Flagstaff so many times now, but never got a chance to visit the Observatory. My son…read morehost a huge fan of physics and space wanted to visit this place. We went just before two hours of the closing time and wish we came in a little earlier. This three floor observatory is so beautiful and informative from the gigantic telescope to play area for the kids it is a must visit for everyone. Our favorite part was looking at the galaxies from the large telescope in the night. We got to see the nebula and it was so cool. It just made us feel how tiny we are in this massive space. I loved how once you buy the tickets you could step out and come back so that's a great advantage to take specially when you want to do both during the day and the night.

If Yelp allowed it, I'd give Lowell Observatory a billion stars... mostly because that's about how…read moremany we actually saw. The dark skies over Flagstaff reveal more stars than Hollywood on Oscar night. Seriously, you look up and suddenly realize the universe has been showing off this whole time and you've just been missing the show. The telescopes were the real headliners. One was locked onto Jupiter, and we could see it in crystal clarity along with three of its moons just casually hanging out like cosmic roadies. Another telescope pointed us toward the Pleiades--also known as the Seven Sisters--which looked like the universe spilled a little glitter across the sky. The staff deserve their own constellation. Knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful, they explained everything without making the rest of us feel like we'd failed Astronomy 101. The outdoor show was informative, fun, and moved so quickly we almost forgot we were sitting in the cold... almost. Let's just say the temperature was sub-planetary, but the experience was stellar. Bottom line: if you're anywhere near Flagstaff, orbit on over to Lowell Observatory. It's an out-of-this-world experience that will leave you starry-eyed and over the moon.

It was HOT, dirt filled and not the same vibe as in years past. We still enjoyed the march of the Clans, the band's that played and the occasional performance. The beer is some of our favorite, but even this year it kind of missed the mark. Lines were slow and crammed in the back of performance areas and the beer wasn't as cold as it should have been. Plus, it seems every year it gets more and more pricey. $20 per adult for entry, $5 per kid 2 and older! Plus food isn't anything spectacular and adult beverages are $7! There was a little vendor tent from the local Mason Lodge that had water and little ice creams for $1 and we stopped there three times! I really hope they find a way to move it back or at least find another grassy venue.

The best part is that the tickets were $7 each which is a really great value! They have a nice selection of pumpkins and plenty of activities.
