SUMMARY:Meteor Crater & Barringer Space Museum
DESCRIPTION:Meteor Crater & Barringer Space MuseumJuly 13\, 2026 \n$139 \n\nOver 50\,000 years ago\, 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 with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb.
