Nice place to stop while traveling along Route 66 or if you are in the vicinity of the Kingman airport. Had stopped at their Cottonwood store in the past (now closed) and enjoyed their spirits. Staff and owner was friendly and answered any questions we had. Great conversation with the staff as well as other patrons.
Not hard to find as others have stated and worth a stop. Did not take the tour but would recommend it if you have not been on a distillery tour before.

This small museum is packed with historical information about the impact of roadways - and particularly Route 66 - on the development of America. What was most interesting to discover is that 90% of the tourists are from other countries. How ironic that non-Americans should seek out this very American attraction.

Reasonably priced. You can buy ticket that includes 3 attractions for one price. Seniors can buy for $6.00. Spent about an hour touring the museum. Observed 4000 year old sandals in one case which I found interesting. Another section devoted to Andy Devine, a hometown celebrity.

This park is within walking distance of restaurants, museums, it's a nice shady spot to sit and have a snack, but most of all there are two trains available for you to climb onto, take some great photos and get an idea of what it looks like inside a train engine. It will only take a few minutes at this stop, so just do it! There is no fee to look at the trains or take photos.

Since I've never been to a "working" or other alpaca farm, I don't have much to rate this one by, but Anna and Ron clearly love what they do and for that they deserve an Excellent review! I learned more about alpacas than anyone needs to know, but it was all very interesting! Teddy is the resident greeter. He is sweet and will let you hug him! It's $9 a carload and you never have to pay again if you return. There is a little shop where you can purchase things made from the alpacas on the farm! They also have several great Pyrenees dogs to guard the herd and they are all so sweet! They also have 2 potbelly pigs that were very friendly! We had a great time!
7. Kingman Railroad Musem

Reviewed By travelwriter52 - Conyers, GA
It was worth the $2.00 just to see the depot, and the historical memorabilia, and if you are a model railroad fan, you will like the layouts. I thought the depot was beautiful (still a working Amtrak station) and enjoyed talking to the volunteers and looking at what was inside. But it was a relatively small display, and most of the museum is the layouts. But for the price, it was worth every penny.

Stumbled upon Stetson Winery in Valley Vista just in the outskirts of Kingman,Arizona. Wow, gorgeous! The designer hails from Laguna Beach, California. They grow an awesome Cabernet, and white wines.Many of their wines are sold in the local restaurants.
There are many events here, especially the August grape stomp! Great place for a wedding or large party as well.A touch of class in the high desert.

My husband I toured this historic home and loved it! Our tour guide was very informative and we enjoyed his stories. We felt like we were visiting old friends. Loved all the musical instruments and the information about who played each instrument. The clocks and their history were fascinating! I loved the furniture, some original and some from that period. It takes less than an hour and is something you must see. Oh! They also have albums on the dining table so you can read more about the family and see more pictures!
