Review:
Located 2 hours and 45 minutes from Phoenix lies a massive round depression in the ground. The depression is almost a mile across and over 500 feet deep and is known as Meteor Crater, the site where a large meteorite crashed into Earth approximately 50,000 years ago. Today, Meteor Crater Natural Landmark attracts visitors from all over the world. The on-site discovery center contains 24 interactive exhibits that give information about stars, plants, and meteors. There are also a gift shop and rock shop on the premises. Guests can take a guided or self-guided tour of the crater rim and can stay until dark for the excellent star gazing.
