Bedrock City (Arizona)
Bedrock City is a Flintstones-themed amusement park and RV park at the corner of Arizona State Route 64 and U.S. Route 180 near the Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States. The park was opened in 1972, following the owners' success with a predecessor park near Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The park has licensed the likenesses of the Flintstones characters, and features statues, rides, and a diner based on that theme.[1][2]
In 2015 it was reported that the aging owner is trying to sell the "Flintstones" themed park for 2 million US$; the park has been open for over 40 years.[3]
