What travelers are saying
- Sandra R1 contributionThis is the best time to enjoy the wild life at the conservation. The volunteers Diane and Diane were so knowledgeable and so friendly.they explained the animal needs and what we should do if we ever come into contact with these beautiful creatures in the wild giving us a better understanding of what to do or not to do. I will definitely return to learn moreWritten May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NinaSLongIslandPort Washington North, NY25 contributionsGot there in the nick of time to get the audio tour (please note the last time they will allow you to take the one hour audio tour is at 4pm promptly)! The audio tour is set up to go through your phone. You get excellent instructions on where to walk, where to sit/stand, and what to observe. It was very informative and the house and grounds itself were fascinating. FLW was so thoughtful on how he used the local elements and the environment to create not just a pleasing looking living space, but one that is functional and in harmony with the local surroundings. Oh, and the gift show was excellent too! Beautiful earrings, jewelry, sculptures etc not just from FLW but from artists inspired by him.Written May 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brad MSaint Louis, MO10 contributionsBeautiful place, very 50's camp vibe with actually pretty good restaurants and views. If you run or bike the trails (one leading to this place) are enjoyable as well. There are a few bars/restaurants open late with music so fun hang out at night.Written May 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beth RSavannah, GA48 contributionsMy husband and I visited the park and couldn’t believe the collection of train memorabilia. The collection of model railroads and trains were very impressive. The playground and picnic areas were perfect for families. This park is a true gift to the people blessed to live in Scottsdale!Written May 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- moradevoraEnglewood, NJ37 contributionsWow! Blooming cacti all over. So many varieties. Magnificent. A trail with wonderful explanations. Many trails for all levels.Written May 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DebCalabasas, CA38 contributionsAwesome place. The docents were very good but only covered a limited area of the museum. Could have spent more time there. We stayed for about 90 minutes and that wasn’t enough. LOTS of really cool stuff and I’m not a big cowboy enthusiast. The art work was amazing. Very historic place. Loved it.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ameluluHartland, WI190 contributionsExcellent trail for all levels as if it becomes too strenuous, you can turn around. It is well maintained and offers ample rest spots to take in beautiful views of the park, overlooks of golf course and neighborhood and to catch your breath if needed.
The trail offers educational signs about the desert creatures and landscape, plants etc. they have a jr ranger program for children (actually all ages 😊).
Be sure to take plenty of water and snacks, hiking sticks, etc.
My suggestion is if you don't want to do the full trail from end to end to avoid the long climb back to the visitor center, that you go as far as Grand View or Owl's Rest and then turn around.
This is a very popular trail with many visitors but there's plenty of room for all. If you don't like crowds while hiking this isn't the place for you.Written March 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Maybe it would be better/less busy to visit on a weekday. Be sure to pick up the two sided card identifying the butterflies found in the conservatory. I enjoyed the short 3D movie and would recommend viewing it before going into the rainforest. Many people skipped the movie but it really helped my level of appreciation for these beautiful creatures. Take your time to soak in the beauty of flowering plants and butterflies flying all around. We spent close to 1.5 hours for the full experience.Written March 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael W10 contributionsNice moderate hike with never ending scenery. Surrounded by breathtaking, capitvating mountains. Very super hike compared to Camleback. Super enjoyable, just keep an eye out for rattlesnakes!!Written April 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- safio64Riyadh, Saudi Arabia859 contributionsIn the heart of Downtown Scottsdale, this is a gem of shopping that offers shoppers an amazing experience of unmatched indoor shopping, dining and entertainment experience. Here, you can find some of the world-famous fashion designers and hautecouture. Top brands found at every turn such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. I myself enjoyed shopping here browsing at Macy’s, Nordstrom and Sephora. The food court is at the lower level offers shoppers a break to fuel up before resuming shopping. This is a real shopping haven.Written May 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cynthia MBend, OR720 contributionsAlways good to visit here. About an hour. Free entry. Lots of great and famous Penske race cars. Indy, Formula One, and more. And you can visit the attached showroom to view many Ferraris, Maseratis, and more.Written March 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tschebloIndianapolis, IN494 contributionsThere weren’t any signs that directed us, but we eventually figured out that we didn’t have to stand in line with our digital or printed out combo pass. Find the employee with the scanner and you can miss the long line. Look up to see the fun and creative aquarium light fixtures. Then go directly to the restroom to catch a glimpse of the sharks. Seriously. We didn’t purchase any of the virtual experiences since they were an added cost. Definitely seek out the odyssey adventurer for a seated ride and narrative. The sharks are mesmerizing so don’t miss them. I recommend the combo pass for Butterfly Wonderland and the aquarium. You will exit the aquarium through a gift shop then proceed to Arizona Boardwalk. There are photo opportunities here and space to walk or run around outside.Written March 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
