Painted Desert Inn - Museum in Petrified Forest National Park - 1 Park Rd, USA

The Ranger was very knowledgeable and helpful. The artisans were talented and friendly. Watching them make the jewelry and pottery was intriguing. It's one of my favorite stops on the route!

Very lovely historic adobe style inn at Painted Desert\Petrified Forrest, with authentic 'wildcat' petroglyph discovered nearby. Great views of the colorful desert landscape. Enjoyed a vegan\coconut ice cream from a selection of regular icecreams at the 'parlor'. Intriguing Navajo artists\folklore...and more

This was a fun place to stop, is us going north, at the end of our trip. It’s great to photograph in the afternoon. It would be nice if they had more extensive food and drink options.

Must see stop with 🚾 - also spectacular views

Surprised by the history. Deceived by the sign about ice cream. I thought it was real. Didn't see one person who worked there. No employees at all. Walked through reading the displays. Interesting.

Driving from Phoenix to Albuquerque and took a couple of hours to go to the Pettrified Forest National Park! So glad we took the time! Beautiful, stunning landscapes and fossilized tree trunks, hiking trails and a museum and 2 visitor centers. Leashed pets are welcome and water fountains are provided for them too!

A very nice historical building, with great displays, but the highlight of our visit was meeting a highly talented Native American jewelry designer and creator and talking to him while he fashioned a lovely cuff bracelet for my husband. This isn't something that you'll always run into, but we were fortunate! It was an experience that we'll never forget.

Lovely historic building perfectly suited to its setting. Spectacular view of the Painted Desert. Take the adjacent Rim Trail (fairly short and level) for even more beautiful views.
