10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Williams That You Shouldn't Miss

November 14, 2021 Diedre Savory

Its location just 60 miles from the southern rim of the Grand Canyon makes Williams a popular stop for visitors to the natural beauty of Arizona. The historic Grand Canyon Railway makes it southern stop here, ferrying hundreds of thousands of tourists every year to and from the Canyon on its hundred-year-old steam-powered line. In the more immediate surrounds, the Kaibab National Forest and the Bill Williams Mountain area provide ample opportunities for camping, hiking and adventure.

Marvelous Marv's Grand Canyon Tour

I give personal private tours of the Grand Canyon from Williams, Arizona. I only do small groups and it's a full day. I've been doing these tours for over 20 years and have lived here all my life. No one knows more of this fantastic place than me, so give me a try!

Grand Canyon Deer Farm

Located on a section of old Route 66, the Deer Farm is 10 acres of absolute animal wonderland. Walk a path around our park to view wallabies, llamas, mini cattle, bison, peacocks, & much more. Walk with deer, feed the deer right from your hands. Chat with a parrot, Mozart is a very entertaining cockatoo, Scarlet (a lilac crowned Amazon Parrot) a bit more shy, pet a goat, kiss a camel. You will have a blast here if you are an animal lover.

The Grand Canyon Deer Farm is a must for all families visiting northern Arizona. It is so much fun. For a very small fee, you can feed the deer. They are so sweet and cute. There are also many other animals to see. It was a really good time!

Bill Williams Mountain

Phenomenal views for hundreds of miles in every direction

Reviewed By hoolia7 - Phoenix, United States

Got some clearance on your vehicle? You only need a little to tackle this fun road. We almost didn't try it because I read it would be bumpy, it wasn't at all and was very scenic, with thick trees and cooler temps welcoming you on the way to the top. We walked up part of the fire tower stairs for an incredible view, and spent nearly as much time ogling the trillions of ladybugs in the bushes. Hit the road up and have fun.

Good wines, with a great atmosphere. Tasting room manager Jessica was fun to talk with and, being a level 4 sommelier, is very knowledgeable about wine. You can pick which ever wines you want to try, so there is no automatically set tasting menu, which we appreciated.
