Meteor Crater Observatory

Such an awesome museum! A lot of hands on things to do along with a lot of interesting information. The walk out over some of the crater was so much fun! Definitely worth stopping for!

You can see it in an hour, or take your time, take the guided tour, and probably spend about 3 hours. Impressive sight, for sure.

I mean it’s nifty but the $22 price tag is a bit steep. Looking areas and telescopes and a cafe in there for the hungry (looks like they only do hot and cold sandwiches and drinks). Has a museum and gift shop as well (crystals and dream catchers anyone?). The crater is actually very cool and easy to photograph.

Didnt do the full guided tour but rather walked and viewed st own pace. Cool to see it and there is a tone of information on it in the museum. Be prepared to walk some step because there is a ton of them !

Awesome Awesome Awesome. This place is awesome. Here is 2 panorama pics.

Worth the pictures for sure. Lots of cool learning stuff for the kiddos too. Didnt do the full on guided tour but man what a view. Also, there are multiple vantage points which is a plus. Impressive to say the least.

Our tour guide was very knowledgable and everything was covid compliant. It was a wonderful experience!

Way too expensive for the time it takes to see this, but there is really nothing like it. I could not resist stopping here and taking a look. Something I have always seen in pictures. Pretty dope.

Pictures will never do this place justice. This place is amazing

Very interesting place but the entrance fee was too expensive in my opinion. $22. For two people it gets expensive not to mention a family of four. Grand Canyon is $35 for a whole car.

Fantastic history and the tour was great!!

Great attraction for the whole family. Hiking, theatre and museum. Nice cafe to feed everyone. Thank you to our guide Shawn, and to Matthew Kent!

Pretty cool, nice facility, but note that it is privately operated so your National Park pass is no good here. Entrance fee is $22.

The best one, on earth at least.

It’s amazing that some 150ft long crated something of this size. The science behind this is pretty interesting. Definitely a bucket list place to visit in the near future.

Was awesome to see! But the staff were pretty uptight

Really interesting, nice side trip!

If you like space stuff its a must go.

I wouldnt pay another 18$ to look at a hole in the ground. It was cool to read about the history of this place on the plaquards, but I wish I knew before I went how much it was. I just stopped in thinking it was free or a few dollars. The pictures online are probably more than enough to look at than going if you are contemplating it.

Great tour, nice, easy short half mile in half mile out.You can no longer walk around the rim.The guided tour was super informative.

$100 for your family to stare at a hole in the ground for 10 mins. Great value!

Well worth the stop!

This outdoor landmark is blocked by a building that costs cash to get in, and of youre traveling with a pet, they cant join you... For this outdoor landmark.

Interesting place. The crater is worth seeing. It’s bigger than we expected. We also watched a movie in the theatre, it was very interesting too.This is a quick stop, it took us less than an hour.The downside is the price: I personally think $18 is a bit too expensive for this. We visited Bearizona ($22) and Deer Farm ($14) on the same day, and the crater doesn’t seem to need to be priced that high. $10-15 would be more appropriate.

Awesome place to see first hand how big a crater a meteorite made!

This place is phenomenal. Although people may need to drive for a long distance, it is a place you may not want to miss.

Amazing place to visit. A little bit far from... everywhere, but definitely worth the trip. The museum isnt wow, but the crater itself is really impressive.

Amazing place to visit indeed, geology heaven. There is a wonderful museum installation inside the building.

Not the only neither the biggest but the one meteor crash site best preserved in the USA. Really makes us question how frágil is our spheric fish tank we call Earth

Great views. Good price that comes with a optional tour. Super windy. Spent 2.5hrs here. Cant be seen from the side of the road. Must pay to see.

Need to see. Very impressive.

Very helpful and friendly staff, informative display and exhibitions. Great viewing platforms

Very good and educational place to visit.A bit pricey

If you like astronomy you will love this place. If you are not interested in astronomy you will love the history of it. Either way put this in your must visit when you are in Arizona.Kids will love it. Tours are very good.

It wasnt as big as it seems in photos

You can go on a hike with a guide also an indoor exhibit that explains the science behind how the crater was created. If you are a senior citizen or military they give discounts on tickets. We enjoyed this place.

A must see.

Very impressive!

Beatiful place and very interesting

It’s 22 dollars per person and it took about 20 minutes to look at it and that was it

$22 per person is insane price

$22 per person is way to expensive

A lot of fun. Its kind of expensive, but they do give you a lot for your money. The museum is fun and informative with lots of interactive bits. The views of the crater are spectacular too.

They dont tell you they charge $18 a person to see what you can see on Google maps... look it up - I just saved you a bunch of $$$. Not worth it - all they do is complain that the government wont fund them but yet theyre the ones that choose to keep the place to themselves instead of giving it to the government to maintain and manage... i.e. FUND. Dont waste your time.

Nice place and learning about the impact

Expensive $$$. We did not visit.

Its a cool place to go and see. There is also a really good museum with a video history that is fun to watch. It just seems a little expensive to get in.

The meteor crater is super cool!! Loved the visit! There is also a Subway restaurant and restrooms in place as well as a gift shop. The museum is nice too!!

This place was mid af, $18 to see a hole in the ground, ya gotta be straight cappin

They have really improved the museum and gift shop area since we were there 20 years ago. I learned a few new things about the crater this time. As always it is quite a sight to see.

Like 20 bucks to look at a hole very close to the grand Canyon which is a better hole.

I would have given it 5 stars, but no alien spacecraft showed up.

Really cool. Lots of information on not just this crater but all craters that we know of in the solar system.

For some reason we werent expecting much of this place but it was much better than we expected, they have facilities, tours a Subway and a movie theater! The meteor crate itself is huuuuge, totally worth it if you are driving by on I40

Nice place to see.

Great place to bring a family or a school field trip.

Meteor Crater is the kind landmark that your children will forever resent you if take them there. There is a Subway restaurant built in, for crying out loud. Nobody that works there actually wants to be there. It is prideless. Although I do not know if prideless is truly word, I can merely verify that I took no pride in visiting.

We enjoyed our visit to the Crater. Price a bit high $18 for adults. It was fun and educational!

Very cool stop on my cross country road trip.

On our way home we saw the sign and was had to see the awesome power of God and what he makes.

Awesome place to visit with the family with great information and sites on the tour.

I really enjoy going to this place the walkthrough the place was amazing the video was awesome the museum was very nice the prices although were a little bit hi if youre just going there while youre on vacation its kind of hard to afford everything youre going to go see so this place was a little expensive I would recommend them lowering the price and then it would be the best place to go around there good to go when you going to the Grand Canyon as well

WOW! What a great place to visit and experience what an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour can do when it impacted earth 50,000 years ago! There is an option for a rim tour - a must, plus the interactive Discovery Center is quite informative. The facility is very clean, well managed, easy to get to off I40, the gift shop is worth a stop and what a person can learn while at the observatory is beyond words. A must stop for space enthusiasts and family!

They are currently (as of July 2018) building additional area onto the visitor center, but does not interfere with customer access. Museum area is up to date and interesting history lesson of the site. We were there around lunch time, so stopped by the Subway shop. Price is comparable to usual Subway stores, and Free Cookie ticket is included with entry. I first saw this crater in the 60s as young child, and just took my son to see it. I was more amazed this time at the size of it. Hard to imagine a rock(block of Iron) about the size of 2-story house made that hole.

Awsome experience. You realize immediately just how small and insignificant you are in the grand scheme of things.

Impressive and educational. Too bad they dont allow drones.

Very nice and educational

It was sad that i didnt had more time here. It was very interesting and amazing. Its so big!

Pricey but unique. One of the very best gift shops.

There is a informational film. Telescopes set up to view every area of the crater. Very friendly personal.

Unique visual and educational experience.

They charge like $40 per person to walk outside, behind a fence and see the hole from the meteor... terrible wast of money

Really cool and awesome.

Really cool history lesson

The view is unbelievable. Everyone should see this at least once.

Over priced. Just look it up picture on Google if you need to see it

A must see on the list

Interesting

Great family experience!

Sorry not paying $16 per person to look into a big hole.

Incredible!

Grandkids loved it

Pretty cool.

You get what you pay for

Cool.

The place is awesome

It was $18 per adult. It didnt seem worth the price to us so we left.

Worth a pit stop leaving Flagstaff.

Very cool

You have to see it to believe it!

To much hype Ok hole

Very cool

Overpriced tourist trap!!!

Very enlighting.

Very interest in place, museum and guides

A must see.

Worth the detour and the time.

A must see!

Meh...

Loved it
