"Today, 16 January 2026 we had a fantastic guided tour at Meteor Crater, led by Tyler, and it was an unforgettable experience. Tyler shared incredibly interesting and curious information that really brought the site to life. His explanations were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating facts that kept us captivated the entire time. We learned not only about the science behind the crater, but also surprising details and stories that made the visit even more memorable. You could truly feel his passion and knowledge, which made the tour both educational and exciting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Meteor Crater!"

"In the windswept high plains of northern Arizona, this nice little day trip is a unique attraction for kids and grown ups alike. We went in during Christmas holidays - and it gets windy and cold! So dress in plenty of layers and enjoy the breathtaking view of this massive meteor crater. You also get to see the real 600lb meteor fragment not bigger than a sack of beans. The telescopes get you a close view of the various mining artifacts. The gift shop is uninspiring. The cafe is beautiful and serves drinks and warm tater tots to get you warmed up. The video exhibit is modest and parking is hassle free. Good little day trip."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently visited The Creator in Arizona, and it was an unforgettable gorgeous, experience! The vast beauty of the wide-open spaces took my breath away, and the stunning views were nothing short of spectacular. The family-friendly visitor center was a great addition, providing informative displays and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely pack your own snacks and water- no food onsite. I also want to highlight the knowledgeable tour guides who made our visit even more enjoyable. They were passionate about the area and shared fascinating insights that truly enriched our experience. I highly recommend visiting The Creator for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Arizona!"

"Great place to visit! The tour guide, Russell, was very knowledgeable. Definitely a must-see place! I saw a few reviews with negative feedback, but it was mostly from people who hadn't done enough research on prices or availability beforehand. So, be sure to plan your trip accordingly!"
