This is a really neat place. It appears to be located in an old train station. The employees are friendly and very helpful. It is located on route 66 and has numerous route 66 memorabilia/souvenirs for sale at reasonable prices.

Station is small with limited seating but personable Station attendants.Train was two hours twenty minutes late due to freight train traffic which was very heavy.

I drive Lyft and keep 99 Things to Do in Flagstaff, Flagstaff maps and information about the beer brewery hike in my car. I get all Flagstaff information from the Visitors Center. My passengers are very pleased. Thank you Visitors Center.

Flagstaff is a great place to call it a night.Highway construction was horrible. We saw eastbound to gallop backed up 25 miles. Lucky to get a room.Comfy room, cheap(considering) went back to st. Louis another route.Also leaving Gallup you enter Navajo reservation. Great shops.

Visitor center representative left a negative impression of the city even though we met wonderful people later at the Snowbowl Gondola rides. Mask “requirement” was way over emphasized…more like a “control” issue not seen elsewhere in the area. Center itself was nice but was happy to go elsewhere.

Loved this little Visitor Center. Has a great selection of tourist souvenirs and gifts. The Visitor Center is located inside the old train station. Cargo Trains pass through right by it all day long and Amtrak at nights. As a parent who often thinks about safety and if I would go somewhere with my kids, I was surprised how close the tracks were with no safety barrier that would stop a child from running into the tracks. I would imagine parents would be careful but kids are fast and all it takes is a second for a kid to get away. The craig train came in so fast and it isn’t very far from the building. It was very cool to watch and fun to photograph. Just surprised there was no barrier or railing of some sort.They had so many brochures and magazines about all the different sights you can go see within a days drive in many different languages. The staff was super friendly.

This is a very nice place to stop by if you visit Flagstaff. You can get lots of information guide and they have a nice gift shop as well. There are 80-100 trains pass by this station everyday! Good place to take “check-in” pictures. Remember to wear a mask!

Iconic place in Flagstaff. Been here twice, separated by 10 years. Still a super nice walk.Today I saw a long train swing by... Excelente !

Review №17

The visitor center is adjacent to the Amtrak train depot. This is the actual train depot to jump on or off. Lots of souvenirs, a lot of information and maps. I really enjoyed all the employees that I encountered, although sitting behind plexiglass made it difficult to hear. I wish they would’ve been more engaging and told me information about the walk to talk tour. I did it on my own but I didn’t know that there was an audio that went with it. That to me would’ve been important enough to share! I think the depot was established in 1890’s, I’m not sure of the exact year.I WOULD recommend.

Really neat visitor center, with a large selection of gifts, and a separate room with lots of Route 66 gifts and souvenirs. My son and I are railfans, so visiting here was on our bucket list. And if watching trains is your thing, you cant go wrong here. 6 BNSF freights in 32 minutes.

While traveling to California, I landed in flagstaff 28 hours ahead of my departing train from the attached Amtrak station. The visitor center and Amtrak ate a connected building, that share the restrooms and sitting area but the hours of operation coincide.. Amtrak closes at 8am and the visitor center opens at 8 am, then close at 5pm, and Amtrak opens at 5pm. This actually was very good for me, as it gave me access to public restrooms all day which were beautifully kept up, snelled great and were spotless. The employees at the visitor center were friendly, helpful and offered whatever assistance they thought I would need the shoe time I was there.they gave me water, let me keep my luggage inside when a rainstorm broke out unexpectedly. They struck up conversation with me at any chance they could, and helped a very long, problematic, and lonely layover very tolerable and even enjoyable. They definitely made the wait go by quickly and less painfully than if they hadnt been so helpful and attentative.. Thanks to all the employees there who helped me and my little service dog feel as comfortable and relaxed as they could...

Stop here first! This shop is adorable and has tons of information! My wife and I ended up going on a Haunted Tour of the city and it was amazing!! All I did was ask about it and the worker provided me a map to follow through the town. Lots of shops and dining in the mean time as well. It was so fun! Do the Haunted Tour!

This visitor center has a host if information. Check out the brochures stand. Theres a brochure for almost every noteworthy location around. Theres a model train and tracks lining the four walls of the visitor center. Using a quarter can make the train go a round trip. Its fun to watch that. They also have some nice souvenirs available. Parking right beside the building.

If you are new to Arizona and dont have a hang for desert weather, flagstaff is your saviour. Just 3 hours away from Phoenix, it is the perfect getaway from the heat. You can do a one day trip or plan something worthwhile for the weekend. In the summers the temperature is around low 80s with possibly some rains which is an absolute bonus. In the winters it can get cold, so get some sweaters on and try out skiing.
