An Out-of-This-World Experience! If you are traveling through Northern Arizona, Meteor Crater Natural Landmark is an absolute must-see. We spent a few hours here and were blown away by how well-maintained and engaging the entire site is. It’s the perfect blend of science, history, and pure awe. Why It’s Great for Families: • Interactive Museum: This isn't just a "look but don't touch" kind of place. The discovery center is packed with hands-on exhibits that explain the impact and the science of meteors in a way that kids actually enjoy. • The 4D Movie: Do not skip this! The 4D experience is thrilling and provides a fantastic "you are there" perspective on the crater’s formation. It really brings the history to life. • Outdoor Play Area: A huge plus for parents! There is a great space for the kids to burn off some energy while you soak in the incredible views of the crater. • The Gift Shop: Surprisingly impressive! They have a massive selection of unique minerals, meteorites, and fun souvenirs that aren't just your standard tourist trinkets. Final Thoughts: The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and the facilities are top-notch. It’s very kid-friendly and provides a unique educational experience without feeling like a boring classroom. Whether you're a space enthusiast or just looking for a cool pit stop, this is a 5-star destination. Read Less

Meteor crater and museum was interesting and educational. Guided tours are included in price of admission. Easy guided walking tour with multiple stops and large rocks to sit on while your guide talks. There also a self guided tour with platforms for taking great photos. The museum inside is interesting and will help pass the time until the next tour starts. There a coffee shop/lounge area that is connected to the gift shop. There is also a 4D movie there but it was closed when I was there. On Saturday they have full hikes around the crater but don't offer it on there day's. They also offer a pet Ramado so if you travel with pets you can check them in to cool fenced-in pen and small dog run that is connected to the car parking lot. There is also place for your motor home or RV. It's a separate parking lot next to car parking lot, just follow the signs. We paid about 28.00 for each adult Read Less

If you're heading west through Arizona on I-40, take 10 minutes and go see this unbelievable site. This is the best example of a meteor crater anywhere on Earth. The size of it is hard to imagine but it's a mile across. You could put 20 football fields down in the bottom of it and with stadium seating you could have a million spectators if the crater was a stadium. They have a great visitor center that includes a 10-minute movie. It starts every 30 minutes. Very professionally presented. And immaculate facilities. So glad I stopped by Read Less
