Quote: I didn't know anything about the meteor crater, but saw the signs on the road and decided to take a look. This is a great place! The crater is amazing—2.4 miles wide and 550 feet deep.

Quote: Meteor Crater, which actually should have been named "Meteorite Crater" since the Meteor did not burn up in the atmosphere, was very educational. An informative slide show presentation may be followed by a guided tour of the Crater. Because of the... Read the full Meteor Crater (Barringer Crater) review

Quote: In the last decade, scientists have come to understand that a large meteor about 5 miles across struck the Yucatan area and caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.

Quote: Interesting, kids liked it a lot. This is pretty close to Flagstaff too. If you're with kids you should try to see this. Once again, especially during the summer, bring water to drink, as there's not as much walking as some of the other places, but... Read the full Meteor Crater (Barringer Crater) review

Meteor Crater
Quote: We weren't all that impressed. There are free telescopes as well as some that are set on specific points of interest--for instance, a boulder the size of a home. You don't get to go too far down into the crater, and it only took us about 30 minutes... Read the full Meteor Crater (Barringer Crater) review

Quote: A gigantic meteor hit and left a huge crater. To some it must be a incredible sight, but to me it was a big hole (probably because I paid $30 for my family to see this). If this place was not in between the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest, I... Read the full Meteor Crater (Barringer Crater) review
