Flintstones, meet the Flintstones …

If you are as old as Zoom Zoom and me, you recognize this theme song.  As we were traveling to Camp Verde, AZ along US – 180 from the Grand Canyon, we glimpsed a gigantic Fred Flintstone on the horizon. This theme park opened in 1972. The original owner licensed the likenesses of the Flintstone characters. They built statues, houses, cars, dinosaurs, and rides all based on the original cartoon. January 2019 the park closed. It reopened mid-June 2019 with a new name – Raptor Ranch. The new owners are redoing the original Flintstone park and are adding a raptor show. They have falcons and an owl named Stinky. To view the Flintstone park part, it costs $5.00 per person. Even though it is a little worn – it is still worth a stop!
