It doesn't look like it is ever open but may have just been the case on this hot Thursday afternoon in June. The sculptures are scattered about the area. I kept an eye out for snakes while walking around. My favorite was the pink Lego looking like anatomically correct blond woman. Several pieces looked like a paper mache applied over a seated person. Another favorite were attached standing rectangles set at angles. There wasn't enough here for me. If you are planning to visit the nearby ghost town and glass bottle house then a quick stop here might be warranted.

I love history like this so I was super excited. I came here for the Tom Kelly Glass House. When you first walk up, there is a sign explaining the history of the house. Next to it, there is a sign in sheet so you can see where people have travelled from to checkout the house. I was amazed by how many people had recently been there! It's a short stop, just walk up and take a few pictures of the house. Look inside. Take in the history. I would definitely recommend adding this stop to your trip if you're passing through! Ohhh also, the Goldwell Museum is only a minute drive from the Tom Kelly Bottle House. Check out that place too and be respectful of the artwork!

The model railroad was built to scale of the layout between Ludlow, California and Death Valley Junction. The museum was transported from the Armagosa Opera House and Hotel where it was originally housed. Currently the model railroad is not in operation but it is getting there. As you look at each piece that has been carefully placed know that this is completely to scale. There is even a depiction of a small cemetery. Would def recommend for history purposes as it is still a work in progress. Pricing is free, donations are accepted. Location is Crook/ Main St - Goldfield,NV ample parking

The…read moreDusty Burro Art Gallery is a new shop ran by a couple of nice women from Pahrump with artwork inspired from the area. The artwork ranges from little pieces of art, to larger canvas pieces and even handmade, hammered copper necklaces. Here's the catch: it's all very cheap and so worth checking out. A little 5x7 piece of art was $10 (and it was a very cool piece) and a hammered copper necklace was also $10. I work for a guy in West Hollywood that makes similar-looking necklaces from copper and charges $70. So, anyone passing through - and if this storefront is open - definitely check them out and help support the local arts of Death Valley Junction. The store is between the T&T Railroad museum and the Amargosa Cafe.

Going into the visitor's center requires driving through some unpaved roads, but it's not bad. The woman who helped us out was so nice and such a pleasure to chat with about the area. And she helped set our kids up with Junior Ranger books and gave them hints to get them started. At the visitor's center, there's also a room where they show a short movie about the area. The exhibits around the center are likewise very informative and interactive - the kids loved them! The shop is small but stocked well. The entrance to Crystal Springs is right outside and is a short walk. Out there, there are informative signs, and 2 sets of binoculars towards the center, which is shaded. The path is a boardwalk, and we saw a lot of birds, jackrabbits, and lizards. We also heard a snake at one point. Towards the farthest area of the walk, the water feeding the spring becomes visible, and there are some small fish! The spring itself is beautiful. Such crystal clear water, and it's like a deep bluish green.

It's about 25 mins from the Death Valley Park sign, 35 to Zabriskie Point. There was also a huge bonus: farm animals and a casino cat, Jackpot! Currently, there is a cow, a sheep, a goat, and two donkeys. The goat is VERY needy and loves chin scratches and attention. There was also a pond with ducks and geese.

There's a small native plant garden outside focusing on local plants, with lots of cool cactus. There is a lot of local history...but there is just one display with a few Native American artifacts.
