No girl in a flat bed Ford though. My husband was bummed about that! LOL However, there is a big Route 66 emblem in the middle of the intersection & a historic building. If you are an Eagles and Glenn Frey fan this is worth the time to visit this display. Right across the street is a fabulous gift shop for great souvenirs and more. This is the best place for the price. We picked up a few t-shirts, guitar picks and presents for some of our other groupies. Winslow is a very small town. There isn't too much to do here, so could only imagine what it would have looked like back in the day when this iconic song was created. **Fun Fact- the original version was based off of Jackson Browne actually being stranded in Flagstaff but Glenn Frey changed the lyrics to Winslow as it was a better fit rhythmically & vocally. The locals are super friendly. Take it easy and enjoy the Route 66 appeal. Encourage visiting the 9/11 Remembrance Garden and the Old Trails Museum while exploring this legendary spot.

I don't know why so many Yelpers refer to this business as a "scam." The name of the business is METEOR CRATER and that is what you get to see. What exactly were you expecting? Make sure you take the free tour. If you don't take the tour, I just don't know what to say. Inside the main building, there is a decent area with exhibits you can peruse and check out the history of other meteors that hit the earth. Some of the other meteors left craters far, far bigger than this one. Our tour was about an hour long or so--I cannot remember how long exactly--but you get to walk along the rim and hear interesting stories about all the mining efforts inside the crater and the loonies who have fallen in and so on. Even a plane crashed inside this thing. Again, make sure you take the tour. We didn't have time to watch the free movie, although I wish I had done so. There is also a separate area of young kids. There are several free looking devices (you know, those stationary binocular type things) outside the main structure where you can look into the crater. Those are fun to use. Yes, this is expensive but this is also a roadside attraction that is worth the detour. Plan on spending about two hours here. They also have a little cafe with food and booze (including espresso martinis, for goodness sake), if you really want or need to get liquored up in the middle of nowhere, I guess.

It's exactly what it sounds like, a massive crater, and there are some interesting exhibits and information that make it a neat, educational stop (especially for kids). The staff was also very friendly, and the clerk at the front desk was especially welcoming, which we appreciated. That said, if I'm being completely honest, the price point was hard to justify. At $29 per person, it felt very steep for the overall experience. For what's offered, something in the $12-$15 range would feel much more reasonable. I'm glad we saw it, for us it was one of those "check it off the list" places, but not something I would personally return to or go out of my way to recommend at the current price.

Here in Winslow AZ stands a memorial to the Victims of that day. It is not massive, it is not large, but is a somber reminder, simply constructed in an open park just as you enter the city.

A good friend of mine lost her father that dreadful day back in 2001 and all the emotion is still there, especially after talking to my friend on this 20 year anniversary! When Winslow received the beams back in 2002, at the original location on the corner of Route 66 and Transcon Lane, I was there! I was amazed that Winslow received two of the beams from the World Trade Center and why did Winslow receive them? Because they asked! With teamwork from the City of Winslow and the Walmart Distribution Center in Buckeye, the steel girders were delivered within hours of the first anniversary ceremony of this tragedy! Since then, they have been moved to this park location on Route 66, the Mother Road, which is much better and safer for viewing. When we have out of town visitors, this is a definite must see! When I visit the beams, my eyes swell up and when you touch them, you can truly feel the energy these beams carry! The flag at the Memorial was flying over the Pentagon that day and this is stated on the Remembrance Garden plaque. The plaque also states "the words 'United We Stand' remind the world that we will not fear terrorism. We hereby dedicate this garden to Northern Arizona's promise that 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET'."! This Memorial not only shows that our unrelenting heroism and self-sacrifice has never wavered but it is a perfect symbol to show that terrorism, of any kind will not be tolerated, that democracy will prevail and that indeed, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

Winslow is a charming town with nice, very welcoming people who appreciate your visit. The Old Trails Museum highlights the area's history and unique characters who made this town their home.

Prices are exceptional and your purchase helps both a local Native artist as well as a not-for-profit cultural institution. Take a breath, get off the Interstate, go downtown and enjoy this unique Western community. Some parts of the town may look like it is stuck in the Fifties, but in this frenetic, distracted, over-stressed society, maybe that is not all that bad while we are on a vacation! Stand on the corner and enjoy Winslow!

Built in the 1930 Depot at the La Posada Hotel, the AMM is small yet fulfilling, with lots of history! There are incredible collections that the museum has gathered with the Winslow Arts Trust. Lots of history and items in regards to Fred Harvey, the Harvey Girls, Mary Coulter, the La Posada, and Winslow's rich cultural history. There are future plans for a sculpture garden, renovation of the 502 Railcar and the Turrell trailer, which are on the premises. We can't wait to see the completion of these exhibits! Danielle was so warm, welcoming, and full of information for visitors. The museum is currently open seven days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM and admission is just $5 (Winslow residents, college students, and Native Americans get in free with proper ID.) They also accept donations on their website, and currently Allan and Tina will match all gifts! Truly, a wonderful experience, and we cannot wait till our next visit!
