Featured Attractions

Downtown Yuma

Less than a 10-minute drive from Budgetel Inn and Suites, you’ll never want to leave Historic Downtown Yuma. This historic and charming neighborhood offers a wide variety of shopping, dining and entertainment. Visitors love spending an afternoon wandering through the Gateway of the Southwest and exploring the heart of “old Yuma.” Explore the riverfront trail, window shop at one of the many historic shopfronts, or enjoy one of Main Street’s many old-fashioned street fairs and festivals. However you define a good time, you are sure to find it in spades in Downtown Yuma.

Kofa National Wildlife Refuge

Did you know the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1939 for the protection of desert bighorn sheep and other native wildlife following a 1936 campaign by the Arizona Boy Scouts? Encompassing over 665,400 acres of the Yuma Desert region of the Sonoran Desert, the refuge provides opportunities for viewing desert plants and wildlife, rock climbing, exploring old mines, and remote wilderness camping. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Castle Dome and Kofa Mountains, a wide variety of plant life, and numerous animal species. With more than 80% of the refuge designated as wilderness, it offers vast lands to explore and appreciate.

Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park

Opened in 1875 while Arizona was still a U.S. territory, a total of 3,069 prisoners lived within the walls during the prison's 33 years of operation. Stop in from 9-5 daily and take a walk through a big piece of Old West history. Enter the cells where the Southwest's most hardened criminals were once locked up, have your mug shot taken in the museum, venture into the infamous Dark Cell (if you dare), and climb up to the old guardtower for a breathtaking view of the restored riverfront.
