You can really tell there's a deep respect for tradition and artistry behind everything they carry. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, taking the time to share the stories and cultural significance behind different pieces, which made the experience even more special. I found some truly unique items that I'll treasure for years. Highly recommend stopping in if you appreciate quality craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind art!

This was such an unexpected find. We happened to stop by Williams town after our visit to…read moreBearizona. It's located near the Williams Visitor Center, which made parking super easy with plenty of free spaces. There is no fee to enter, and it is a smaller place. It took us about 20 to 30 minutes to go through it all and we also spend time speaking to the owner. He was friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell a lot of thought went into everything. Each item on display had interesting facts but also some had a bit of humor which made the boys laugh. In the middle aisles, they had a selection of toys, rocks, plushies and some boardgames for sale. I wish I had taken more pictures but as my husband said, "If we had taken more photos, his phone would be full of ..." well you can imagine lol Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area, especially if you have kids and want something quick, fun, and a little different. It was a nice break that costs nothing to enter but leaves a lasting impression.

The coolest spot in Williams AZ…read more We drove through Williams after visiting Grand Canyon and we were taking a break there. Following advice from the internet, we checked out old gas stations and local stores but nothing interesting detected. We walked into Poozeum with zero expectations after seeing the sign says free and disappointed by the gas station next to it. HOWEVER, it was mind blowing and definitely one of the highlights of the entire trip. (Even though we just saw Grand Canyon!) There were all kinds of interesting fossils - dinosaurs poop fossils, bowl movement fossils, and amber fossils with insect inside which I only read about in the books! The owner was super fun to talk to. He was clearly a very knowledgeable and humble scholar, who travels the world to study fossils. He was also very humorous and referred to himself as a "poop collector". I admire the dedication and passion that he has for poops. I strongly recommend everyone to go to this Poozeum in Williams Arizona.

The tour guide Joseph was so kind and full of energy. The video you watch when you get there is a very heart felt explanation of the passion to continue this community. They own 800 acres and the property is built on 20 acres, it was built between 1971-1975 for the main spaces that are shared. 45 people live there but could range to 80. They show how the products and structure are made. I had no clue about silk casts and loved the hands on understanding and history. They have concerts, events, gatherings. Etc at the amphitheater. Check out the website. The cafe is closed. You can stay as a hotel guest overnight. They offer apprenticeship also.

Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years. Is appears to be a small artist community but we didn't see anything going on at the moment so couldn't tell if it id still active or they make everything south in Scottsdale at Cosanti. There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.

I want to start off with the hotel stay. The hotel was decked out in Christmas cheer and has a huge courtyard with some trains. The front desk receptionist was extremely friendly and full of information. I want to say her name was holly. She gave me a run down of what to expect a map of the hotel grounds and told me a little about the show/train ride. We then went to the room which was decent sized clean and had a fridge and tv. Dinner was great at the buffet and there is also a bar inside the hotel that serves food after hours. The train was really cool and fun with singing and dance cookies and hot chocolate. Definitely recommend this experience

The center has been here for 15 years and exists primarily to display artifacts recovered from a single site in the area. This is extremely rare as most sites have been pillaged by pot hunters over the last 100+ years, and this site was privately owned and protected for many decades. I was honored to received what was basically a private tour of the facility by the executive director Monica Buckle. She took her time and provided much detail to give an excellent overview of this facility. Thank you so much Monica! The entire Verde Valley area is a much overlooked archaeology gem in the history of our country & this facility champions the learning and understanding of this unique place. If you're ever in the area, I strongly recommend a visit. Please note the visiting hours change for the summer season so be sure to research this first.
