8/10 Very Good! (2,091 reviews)
Very conflicted about this peoperty. When I went there was not enough staff in order for all the amenities to be open ie Saloon closed, Ice Cream Parlor closed, only way to get dinner is driving up the road. The pool was great, it being in the middle of the park was a big time saver. The saloon was open 1 night while i was there but they dont allow take out.

Love this little museum. I always take my 88 year old mother (in her wheelchair). She loves to see all the desert animals.
