Chihootso Marketplace & Flea Market
Located in the "downtown" area of Window Rock at the northwest intersection of Highway 264 and Indian Route 12. Drop by and hang out with some locals and out-of-towner's! In this area, next to the Alon gas station, you can find an array of items – from Avon, tools, blankets, Navajo jewelry (traditional & contemporary), beadwork, Navajo foods (may we suggest checking out Scott's Food Stand for frybread, Navajo Tacos, mutton dishes and wash it all down with Navajo tea?) – in the summer of 2018, even Hollywood actor & musician Jared Leto stopped by for a brief moment before he went onto Canyon De Chelly!
The only zoo and botanical park in the United States that is managed by a Indigenous tribe. This zoo has animals in the reptile, mammal, amphibian, insects, and birds classifications. During the month of May or June (depending on the zoo management), the zoo will have a celebration called ZooFest – and near Halloween, they hold another celebration called ZooBoo! Although the admission is FREE – donations at the front entrance are greatly appreciated and goes towards the zoo animals' needs.
Located next to the Navajo Zoo, the museum is a great location to soak in some Navajo culture and art. Start by browsing the museum portion upon enterting the building, walk to the left and you will see the entrace to the museum. The theme of the museum changes every so often, so be sure to drop by when you're in town! The library portion is off to the north side of the building, there is where you will find books of sort – there is also a section of computers to use for an hour for research or small printing needs for résumés for job searching, etc.
Want to try the local cuisine in town? Stop by for the Navajo dishes and great service! There is also a small gift shop upon entering the building to the left, maybe purchase a small item or t-shirt! Also in this location is the Quality Inn, maybe make this spot the choice to stay overnight and enjoy breakfast in the morning with some blue corn mush and Navajo tea!
1/2 mile west of the Navajo Nation Zoo. Interested in looking at (and purchasing) some authentic Navajo jewerly or some Pendleton items while in Window Rock? This is one of 5 enterprise locations on the Navajo reservation. They're sure to have something for you to purchase and take home.
