Copper Star Indoor Shooting Range

Reviewed By J6414YFtimh - Clarkdale, United States

This was the first time my fiancé and I had been to a shooting range. We were inexperienced shooters and had a great time. We took our own guns and ammo, picked out our targets and rented the necessary safety gear. It was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon and it wasn’t too hard on the pocketbook either! We’ll be back!

We enjoyed a beautiful late November day at Out of Africa. It seems like there are lots of discounts around for this park, AAA offered on site, but the regular price would be worth it! General admission ticket includes everything you'd need for a great outing, including a shorter "safari" bus ride where the guide feeds animals and you also have the chance that you might feed a giraffe or camel from the bus. Our guide was amazing- energetic and quick witted- and she was extremely knowledgeable about her animals. It's obvious that everyone here really cares about the animals - and many shared stories about animals that were rescued, etc. SuperMog and zip line tours would be cool, but are definitely not needed to enjoy the park - especially if you have young kids with. Definitely worth noting that this is not (as they say everywhere)- not a zoo! Roads & paths are all natural surface (and can be dusty). All of the animals we saw seemed to be content (not pacing their cages/fence lines, etc), and very well cared for and loved. The tiger swim show was fun, even though the 2 brother tigers weren't apparently cooperating as well as they do some days - it was great to see how the handlers worked with them- clearly not forcing them to do anything, yet working to engage them. They are amazingly beautiful and capable animals! Overall, we felt great spending our money and time here, and would totally go again if in the area. Note that on slower days not all of the food/beverage options may be available- not a big deal, but we may have stayed longer if we could have grabbed a decent lunch & kept trekking about.

Fossil Creek Wilderness

Reviewed By nlogan82 - Flagstaff, United States

Fossil Creek is a great place to visit whether you want to play in the creek, hike, or see waterfalls and natural springs. The only downside is the 14 mile drive down a dirt road. Only a limited number of passes can be purchased to enter the area so you are guaranteed to not be crowded. The water was great! There are swimming hole and jumping areas.
