Great outdoor experience for all. Most of the small trails have a difficulty similar to a fight of stairs, but even if that isn't an option, there are other interesting archaeological finds to check out. Very informative and clear signage throughout. Most importantly, super affordable. Just pay parking rate per vehicle up front.

We love roadside attractions like this. The price is fair. The people are friendly. The carvings are whimsical and have so much detail in them that you can spend over an hour exploring the stories embedded in the Western town. We enjoyed the Western town more than the circus. Bring a camera; there's plenty of great shots to take all over the place. It was our favorite stop along the Turquoise Trail.
