Interesting museum dedicated to meteoric study. The landmark itself is amazing, and the documentation and historical overview most informative. There is also a 3D Simulation ride/film that is quite fun. Staff in the gift shop were engaged and enthusiastic. A most pleasant side trip off the highway. Recommended. Read Less

This was another pretty cool stop along the way on our cross-country road trip. We were here for a good 90 minutes, there's a lot to see within the walls of this center. Very informative, with interactive displays and such. You can go outside and view the crater from a few different platforms. There was a line of about 20 people when we arrived but you get through that pretty quickly, and then you can pretty much go in and see what you want and start where you want. Read Less

Its pretty neat to see. Recommend taking the 45 minute guided tour. Dress for the weather if you do. The museum exhibit is good an informative. There is also a little snack shop with some sandwiches and beverages. The gift shop is pretty good a well. Read Less

Awesome side trip to the best preserved meteor crater in the world! Beautiful information center. Great viewing areas. The movie about the origin and history of the meteor and crater was good. Many interactive displays, too. Walking tours are also available, weather permitting (not too windy). 4D ride available (I did not try this). Read Less

Pretty cool, but I'm disappointed you can't walk around the rim and/or into the crater. Without one of those, it's hard to fully comprehend the size. Museum and videos were ok. Pricing seemed reasonable/normal for this type of thing. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and surprisingly large gift shop. Plenty of parking. I'd like to see more detailed explanations of meteor science and active experiments as well. Read Less
