We were pleasantly surprised when stopped. I costs a little to get in. The place is full of everything from native art and crafts from the area, to western art and bronzes, it also has lots of info from the old west days, old mining history of the area, old guns, and artifacts from long ago. It was one of the better museums I have seen in a long time. The staff was polite and helpful .

It's easy to miss this, but it's a beautiful jewel! Sandy trails wind past a river and lake and swamp. We saw a desert tortoise up close on a short hike up to a view point.

Have been to top several times. It does get harder closer to the top. It is more like rock climbing. But you need to be careful. Never hike my yourself. Take a lot of water. And something to eat.

We came to Wickenburg for the weekend from Tucson to attend the Dailey & Vincent performance. The performance itself was great, but we had no idea this venue was here until we saw it advertised on TV. The theater itself is first-rate, with comfortable seats, excellent sound system, and easy access. There is plenty of free parking, and they offer valet parking for $3 - a great deal for those with mobility issues. The staff and volunteers were excellent, and we were able to get to our seats with ease. After the performance, the traffic exited so smoothly that it was hard to believe. Ticket prices were very reasonable, and the people in the Wickenburg are very fortunate to have a concert venue of this caliber. It appears that they offer a steady stream of name entertainment that is worth attending. A great venue - a great experience!.

Vulture City Ghost Town

Reviewed By WA_chilly80 - Orting, United States

Driving from Phoenix to Las Vegas, we took a stop on Vulture City Ghost Town. Can’t recommend it enough, the family/staff there was beyond knowledgeable and friendly! It was great stepping back in time and seeing a moment in time. The view down into the mineshaft and the overwhelming feeling of seeing the “hanging tree”. Highly recommend!!!
