Bedrock City, Flintstones-themed amusement park in Valle, Arizona.
Bedrock City was an amusement park featuring life-sized prehistoric structures and colorful cartoon replicas spread across outdoor grounds near the Grand Canyon. The venue included dining facilities and an on-site RV camping area for extended visits.
Bedrock City opened in 1972 at the junction of Arizona State Route 64 and U.S. Route 180 in Valle, after the owners' success with a predecessor Flintstones park near Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Owner Linda Speckles planned to retire and sell it for $2 million in 2015. It closed on January 28, 2019, reopened in mid-June, and by its 50th anniversary in 2022 was incorporated into the Raptor Ranch conservation park.
The park licenses the likenesses of the Flintstones characters, and its statues, rides and diner are built around that theme. The entrance sign reads "Yabba-Dabba-Doo" above "Welcome to Granite Town", with a cutout of Fred Flintstone in an orange and black tunic beside a wooden cart.
The park was positioned at the intersection of State Route 64 and US Route 180, making it easy to reach from the main highway. Visitors should dress appropriately for outdoor conditions, as the site was entirely open-air and exposed to weather.
