When you first fly into the jet charter airport in Wickenburg, you’ll want to make sure you stop at the Wickenburg Visitor Center before you head into town. Here you’ll find everything you need to make the most of your time while staying in the area.
Boasting more than 300 days of sunshine each year, this oasis in the desert is jam-packed with outdoor adventures just waiting to be discovered. If you happen to encounter rain during your stay, don’t worry. The Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts will likely have a show to hold you over. The 600-seat state-of-the-art theater entertains and educates more than 22,000 people each year. You’ll find world-class artists, like The Bellamy Brothers, Jane Lynch, Kate Flannery and the Zoppe Italian Family Circus, to name a few.
When the sun comes back out, head over to the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, lovingly touted as “Arizona’s Most Western Museum.” This awe-inspiring museum is home to more than 400 works of Western art and so much more. You’ll even find an “Out on the Ranch” interactive exhibit that’s a hit with children of all ages. Once you’re done touring the city, be sure to visit the Cultural Crossroads Learning Center next door.
For a trip back in time, plan to spend some time at Frontier Street. Here you’ll see buildings dating back to the early 1900s, including a restored depot that’s nearly 2,000 years old. Frontier Street is also home to the Historic Railroad Engine and Caboose, which was manufactured in 1890.
