Awesome place to visit! The museum is small but fun, the theater plays a short video describing the site history, but the true gem is the crater itself. The scale here must be seen and experienced. It's outstanding! And since you'll be out standing on a tall outcrop, bring a jacket. The views are photo worthy, but the wind can dampen the experience if you're not prepared. Read Less

Amazing place!! Very educational as well inside the museum area. The outdoor gives you a wow factor and tell you the power of nature. Great for families and friends. Gift shop is a bit price like Disney pricey but overall is ok. Read Less

We stopped here on our way from Albuquerque to Flagstaff. Great road trip detour. The meteor crater itself is very cool. The scale of it is quite impressive. It was fun to walk around the rim and get some pictures. It's a must-do for space nerds like me. There's also a small museum that you need to walk through to access the crater. I think admission to the crater and museum was $25/person, which is a little expensive for a 30-60 minute stop. Dogs aren't allowed, so we left ours in the car. It was January so we weren't worried about the heat. They do have a basic kennel available. Read Less

Awesome impact crater created by the meteor that hit Arizona over 50.000 years ago. Definitively a one-of-a-kind places in the World, so it's absolutely recommended to visit if you are traveling on Route 66 or Interstate-40. I recommend to buy the tickets online to get a 2$ discount, so the high price will be less painful. Read Less

Was a nice drive out. I didn't go in due to it being closed. But I got to enjoy the peacefulness at night. It's a bit of a shame that all natural wonders have to be blocked off because we can't control or trust our selves enough to preserve them for future generations. I can only hope humanity will become better in the future. Read Less
