Roadside attraction in the United States
Entrance to the park
Bedrock City is a Flintstones -themed roadside attraction consisting of an amusement park and RV park at the corner of Arizona State Route 64 and U.S. Route 180 in Coconino County , in the U.S. state of Arizona . The park was opened in 1972, following the owners' success with a predecessor park near Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The park licenses the likenesses of the Flintstones characters, and features statues, rides, and a diner based on that theme.[1] [2] [3]

In 2015, the park's owner, Linda Speckles, was planning to retire and sell the park for $2 million US.[4] The park was closed on January 28, 2019, but reopened in mid-June and remained open through the end of Summer 2019.[5] As of the location's 50th anniversary in 2022, it has been incorporated as part of the Raptor Ranch conservation park, with plans to remain open "indefinitely."[6]
