Death Valley Marketplace

This place is absolutely incredible. The owner Alina was so kind and her and the volunteers and went above and beyond to teach us about the space and were lovely to chat with. The animals are so sweet and the store is stocked with great items included homemade items, tons of unique candy and drinks, souvenirs and delicious ice cream and hot dogs! They do amazing work for these animals, just wonderful. Sooo worth the stop to check out this great spot!!!!!! 🫏❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Stop Desert Treasure! If you are heading to Death Valley or just passing through Pahrump, you absolutely have to stop at the Death Valley Marketplace! This place is so much more than just a souvenir shop—it’s a total experience. What makes it a 5-star stop: * The Soda Selection: They have an incredible wall of over 100 unique and vintage sodas. Whether you want a classic root beer or something wacky like "Worm Ooze," you’ll find it here. * The Vibe: The shop has a charming, nostalgic "Old West" feel. It’s impeccably clean, well-organized, and full of local treasures like handcrafted soaps, candles, and the best Pahrump-themed t-shirts. * The Service: You can tell this is a family-owned business. The owners, Tim and Alina, are incredibly welcoming and truly care about their guests. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days! * Traveler Essentials: They have the cleanest restrooms in the area, a much-appreciated water-refill station, and even Bluebell ice cream to help you beat the Nevada heat. * Family Fun: My kids loved the outdoor area with cornhole and the chance to see the local burros. It’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs and grab a photo. This is officially my favorite "base camp" stop before hitting the national park. Do yourself a favor and pull over—you won’t regret it!
