Meteor Crater Visitor Center

"5 stars at every level. Helpful staff guiding you in Our great tour guide Jeremy made the walk out to different areas of the rim. Informed, engaging, funny and took care in keeping us safe at all times. All indoor areas were clean and had photos and displays. The video was great. It covered the area before and after the event. The added walking paths and viewing platforms are new since last visit. Staff throughout was very friendly and helpful. The gift shop was huge, with souvenirs for every taste. I even got to squish a penny. As well as buy a shirt, and pins. This was my wife's first visit and she said "though she would never have picked the crater herself she throughly enjoyed her visit."

"An impressive and unique place that is definitely worth seeing at least once in a lifetime. The sheer size of the crater is striking — photos don’t really capture how massive it is in person. The area is well maintained, with several viewing platforms and an informative visitor center that explains the history of the meteorite and its impact. The visit doesn’t take very long, but it leaves a strong impression. Keep in mind that the crater is located in a desert area, so it can be extremely hot in summer, and the entrance fee is relatively high. Overall, it’s a great stop on a road trip and an interesting experience, especially for those interested in nature and space."

"My family from Colombia enjoyed the visit. There was a pamphlet for our son to fill out about some the exhibits and crater. The history of meteor science and impact craters was interesting. We arrived around 1pm and left the facility just before closing at 5pm."

"Wonderful day having your mind blown with the realization of what powerful meter struck the earth. Check out the 3D movie and more. After walking around the rim try out the snack bar and a cold drink with snacks. I felt like I found a hidden hideout to sip my drinks."

"Great place, I was sure that you were going there just to watch the Crater, but the ticket price includes a guided tour, a film and a four-D cinema, which is great at the end of a trip for small children."
