We have passed by and never stopped but decided to plan a trip here. It is full of such interesting information. The movie was really informative. Unfortunately, the wings were crazy due to a storm that was coming in, so the outside rim tour was canceled. You could go out on the main deck and see the crater, but you couldn't go to the higher deck. The wind almost knocked me down so I took a couple of quick pictures and went back inside. They have a motion ride that was fun. Everything is included in the price of your admission. They offer a military discount, which was nice. They have elevators, which is perfect for those who are unable to climb stairs. They have a nice cafe that has hot dogs, Philly cheesestesk sandwiches, pretzels, muffins, turnovers, and a lot more. The gift shop was nice and had some great items. You won't find a nicer crater that is preserved. Definitely stop here. Read Less

This is a once in a lifetime place to stop. The way the rim is lifted up, you can almost imagine the magnitude of the explosion upon impact. There is a tour included in your ticket price which takes you along the rim. Read Less

One of the best stop me made on the trip. Great for those interested in science and geology. Unfortunately the 70mph winds prevented us from going on the outside tour but the guide gave the same talk inside. We were able to take pictures from the lower viewing platform but the 70mph winds made that exciting. Overall a great place to visit Read Less

Do not miss Meteor Crater if you're in Arizona. It is mind-blowingly amazing. If you have the slightest bit of interest in outer space, geology, photo-opportunities, science, or history. It's privately owned, but they have done a lovely job with preservation and presentation. The guided tour was wonderful, but so was the access in just walking around and taking your time. The museum was great and the 10 minute movie was interesting. There were people, but it wasn't so crowded that you couldn't take your time and really try to get a sense of it. What an amazing experience! I would recommend that they improve food options. There's plenty of free parking right out front. Read Less
