Description
Nestled on its north rim, Meteor Crater is one of the most popular attractions in Northern Arizona, as visitors can choose to experience the Crater in an air-conditioned indoor viewing area, outside on one of the observation decks and self-guided trails, or on a guided tour along the rim. The attraction also offers an outdoor Pet Ramada for their safety.
Over 50,000 years ago, it was believed that space and earth came together when a huge iron-nickel meteorite, approximately 150 feet wide and weighing several hundred thousand tons, impacted an area outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb. The result of this impact was devastation for miles and the creation of the giant bowl-shaped cavity called Meteor Crater, which measures 550 feet deep and almost a mile wide.

Tourist rape : expensive, boring museum, a bigger store full of bullshit and non scientists informations. Of course, the guys said yes if you ask if you can have access to the top to see the meteor impact... But it s a lie.

A little less impressive than expected. But nice to see the big hole and touch a piece of meteor.
