    We came here on 04.28.24 to stretch our legs while on an El Paso-Dallas interstate highway beatdown. This crater is the second largest in the United States, and this site does an excellent job in providing the history of the meteor crater along with some very interesting information about our solar system. There is also a museum onsite (which we didn't enter) that has fragments of the meteor for viewing as well as more exhibits. On the way out there are markers to show your drive as it is proportional to the distance between the planets in our solar system. For example, the sign for the Sun is in the parking lot, then you quickly see the signs for the first three planets before hitting Mars and, gradually, the rest - Neptune is almost all the way back to the highway. This is a very cool spot to visit that isn't that far off your interstate drive.

    The Meteor Crater in Odessa, TX is said to be the "second largest crater recognized in the United States." I've been to the largest one in Arizona several times, and we live so close to this one that I thought it would be a good learning trip for my 9 and 10-year-old children. Even though this one's size pales in comparison to the Arizona Crater, I was right. My kids had so many questions during our walk-through and afterwards. So cool! It's located with an a short drive from Interstate 20. It was designated as a national natural landmark on behalf of the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior in 1965. Parking was free. Admission into the small museum was free. Donations accepted. Walking on the caliche pathway through the depressions was free. I'm sure the lone staff member that said just a simple "hi" to us was a volunteer University of Texas student or something. On March 29, 2024 when we visited it was already very warm outside at 82°F. Bring walking shoes & water. There are two gazebos with picnic tables and barbecue pits available if you'd like to have a meal break. We were there for just under an hour. Cleanish women's restroom. TIPS - Closed Monday. - The penny smashing machine was out of order when we visited. Happy Easter, everyone!

    museum exhibit

    the museum was nice and there was a little shop (only cash or check). being from Arizona and having seen the meteor crater there it was a little underwhelming but there's a nice trail with signs through the crater that you can walk through. with some development this could be a nice place!

    Sure, it ain't much. But compared to everything else in the area, this is the Grand Canyon with the Rockettes dancing on the rim.

    So my mother booked a trip with this agency and this has truly been a horrifying . Not only did…read moreSuseanne book an extra room that we had to pay for and forget our park hopper tickets from Disney but she flew us on flights that were so inconvenient to put so much stress on me and my family. There was no reason why she wouldn't have booked a direct flight from Sacramento to Santa Anna. Instead they booked multiple layovers for us making a one hour flight into a five hour experience with a 3 year old. She booked our Disney tickets under the wrong name so we end up having to buy an extra ticket just to accommodate our party. We could of understood all of this had this been a cheaper flight but it was actually cheaper when we look to fly direct and what she had booked us. We will absolutely never again he $7000 for not even a mediocre experience. We were not able to get to both parks for the reservations we had made like we had been expecting to an end up having to pay for a reservation so we couldn't even get to. By far one of the worst experiences for traveling I have ever been and I urge you to reconsider using this company in the future.

She said that she would exchange the ticket for a ticket with the correct spelling, but I would need to pay $300 (half of the difference for the tickets). I told her that I think the company should pay the $300 for spelling my name incorrectly. I asked her to change the tickets, and we can deal with it when I get home. However, she charged the difference (totaling $443.60) to my credit card without my permission. I personally think a company should take responsibility for their own mistakes. The agent should have checked the spelling of my name on my passport before issuing the ticket originally.
