THE JOURNEY!
The River of Time Museum & Exploration Center is broadening our offering. In 2022 we started living up to our new ‘Exploration Center’ name by offering our visitors a chance to ‘Explore’ the beautiful Lower Verde Valley area found beyond our walls on accompanied tours.
We are working hard to expand the variety of tours we will offer as the years continue. But for now, check out our calendar for unique tour experiences you can’t find anywhere else.
