We loved it, it's such a cute little town. The zip line was so cool and had such a great view. Just make sure you wear shoes that stay on otherwise they'll have you kick them off so that you don't lose them. They also let you ride a second time for half price which was really cool. All of the little gift shops are really cute. Make sure you check out the Apothecary Shoppe, the ladies who run it are so sweet and made of win. When you enter you get whacked in the face with the smell of essential oils, but it is a good smell. We loved all of the lotions and soaps. They have the cutest little bath bombs, and even a kit so that you can make them at home. They also had different teas and supplements. The other shops had a bunch of local goods to include jewelry, books, sauces and salsas, and Arizona themed items. There is a great little Pottery Shop, where the woman makes Pottery to sell and even has classes where you can learn to make them. She even has a really cool Soul jar by the front that is so amazing you've got to check it out. They have an old brothel where you can get old timey photos taken of you and there is a tattoo shop around the back of it downstairs. It is a gorgeous old Victorian building. Lastly, you can't forget the views of the Superstition Mountains, they are absolutely gorgeous.

the place is truly entering a time tunnel where there were small towns where everyone worked around mining for gold, coal and precious stones. The city teaches us about culture in the 1800s and how an ancient village operated. Be sure to appreciate the details because there are many. all with views of Superstition Mountain. It's incredible!

Fun little experience while we were visiting from out of town. Good ice cream place, too! Fun and friendly people. This place also has shows and season things, so make sure to look at their calendar online for events you can go to.

Cool place to see. Staff was friendly. Jerome was a great place to visit and see. Very unique. I would go again so I could spend more time walking around and exploring.

Small but nice place to visit if you need a quick get away on a budget. Train ride is a must saloon a definite if you need a drink and a quick meal!! Freindly people all around!
