It's only $2 per person to enter and they take all forms of money. My boyfriend and I saw it all in about 35-40 minutes (including me reading every minute detail and looking at just about every artifact haha). While the focus is on the area mines' histories, one cannot forget about the town history as they are both intertwined. The town flourished when the mines flourished and vice versa. I found it interesting on the bits about the "red light district history" too - a bit of a scandalous past but part of the past. Spend a little time/money here, shop/browse the jewelry for sale up front and you're golden for an hour or so.

Gold King Mine is packed with old mining equipment, vintage buildings, rusty relics, and just enough organized chaos to keep you wandering from one fascinating discovery to the next. It's like walking through an outdoor museum where every corner has another story to tell. My favorite part? Panning for copper! There's something oddly satisfying about swirling the pan and watching those shiny little pieces appear.

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.

This incredible cliff dwelling was built by the Sinagua people more than 800 years ago and somehow manages to look both ancient and architecturally impressive at the same time. Tucked high into the limestone cliff, it offered protection from weather, flooding, and probably the occasional uninvited neighbor dropping by at dinner time. It's amazing to think families lived here, raised children here, and climbed up and down ladders every day. Suddenly carrying groceries up a flight of stairs doesn't seem quite so bad.

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.
