Discover Bullhead City

When looking for a hotel in Bullhead City, you can organize local attractions by what you want to shape your stay: a large recreation area on the Colorado River, a memorial park, museum exhibits or a seasonal water event. These highlights appeal to different interests.

Recreation and Remembrance

Community Park is a 376-acre recreation area on the Colorado River in Bullhead City. The park is therefore a spacious leisure destination, with the river explicitly part of its location. Unlike the memorial and museums, it focuses on recreation rather than remembrance or exhibits. That is about 152 hectares, providing a metric perspective on its size.

Arizona Veterans Memorial Park honors more than 3,000 Arizona service members who lost their lives in wars and armed conflicts over the past century. The park includes a pyramid-shaped stone monument dedicated to the U.S.S. Arizona. Admission is free. Since admission policies may change, check the latest information before planning a specific visit. The people honored and the monument’s dedication give the site two specific historical points of reference.

Museums and Regional History

The Colorado River Museum displays artifacts from the Mojave Tribe as well as a fossilized nautilus specimen that is 240 million years old. The two exhibits mentioned offer different thematic perspectives: artifacts on the one hand and a fossil on the other. If you also plan your trip around specific exhibits, this combination offers a cultural-historical and geological dimension.

The Colorado River Historical Society Museum focuses on the history of the Lower Colorado River area, particularly the Tri-State region. Its focus is regional history, highlighting an area and its past. Anyone looking to understand the history of a region as well as individual exhibits will find a suitable focus here. The question of specific exhibits differs from that of a regional history focus.

Water Activities and Travel Timing

Bullhead City Splash Bash takes place every July at Ken Fovargue Park and features large water slides. If you’re considering a trip in July, check the specific event dates in advance.

Bullhead City Municipal Pool offers swimming and water walking programs. The distinction is clear for trip planning: July is the annual event month for Splash Bash, while the Municipal Pool is defined by its two types of programs. This lets you consider a seasonal event and the water activities mentioned as separate interests.
