Wow! This place is so much fun. The staff is so kind and the whole shop is an experience! We felt like we were at a museum of color as we learned about different types of kaleidoscopes. This shop ended up being our favorite part of the day. 10/10, would recommend.

One of a kind kaleidoscope store. It’s a must go if you are driving through Arizona. Worth a detour! Super friendly and patient staff. Kids seemed very welcome but keep them close.

Such a beautiful shop... They sell things you wouldn't even think of, from glass trinkets to calligraphy pens and banned books. The assortment of items is so tasteful, a bit pricy, but very unique. Be sure to visit the balcony, they have interesting metalwork items there and an incredible view of the landscape below. I am always sure to pay them a visit when I am stopping through Jerome.

LOVED this shop! Love the variety of kaleidoscopes. Especially love how welcoming the staff was to show us all their favorite pieces and even help us get a unique family picture. Will recommend this shop to everyone who visits Jerome. And hope we make it back one day!

This shop was hands down the most artistic, innovative, and amazing shop on our visit to Jerome, AZ. All the shops were really special and one of a kind. This one really stood out to me, the lady working(I believe the owner) was so friendly and happy to show everyone their collection of kaleidoscopes and encouraged them to try each one. I was blown away on the uniqueness and craftsmanship of each one from all across the world. It was truly fascinating how they bend light and the complexity of each one. Truly a special shop and a memorable expirence. A must see when going to Jerome

Been going there since the early nineties. Joe was especially engaging. The kaleidoscopes are on a whole different level. Please make this a must do and see when in Jerome. The video is of my tattoo. Joe is a wonderful spokesperson. She is helpful, knowledgeable, and quite the looker, no pun intended 😉 So much more to do and see in this eclectic shop.🙏💯💐🕊️❤️

There’s something truly magical about this little gem tucked into the hills of Jerome. Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes isn’t just a store—it’s an experience. Every piece in there feels like a window into another world, each turn of the scope revealing a fresh perspective and a reminder of life’s beauty in motion. As someone who believes in seeing life through a lens of creativity, color, and love, I felt right at home here. Whether you're a collector, a seeker, or just someone who needs to be reminded that there’s still magic in the world—this place is worth the stop. Much love, Keith W. – Google Local Guide + Founder of ioWEAR

One of the most unique and beautiful stores ever tucked away in Jerome, AZ. An entire store full of incredible and unique hand crafted Kaleidoscopes from various artist .Masterpieces of art and design. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The photos don’t do the shop or pieces justice.

Besides our brunch at the Clinkscale, this Kaleidoscope Shop was the true highlight of our visit to Jerome. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, and the vast collection of original, handcrafted kaleidoscopes was breathtaking. They actually encourage you to pick up and look through their many unique pieces. Be sure to step out onto the back porch, too—it features interesting metal artwork and offers a gorgeous view of the valley. Let’s face it, what kid or young at heart old folk can resist from picking up a kaleidoscope and giggle. If you sensed that I was not impressed with Jerome, then you were right. It’s worth a short stop if Jerome was on your way to some place else.
