A couple old black and white postcards from the Malakoff ephemera collection.

When I pulled into the parking area, I was astonished at the infrastructure of the place. This wasn’t a dinky little roadside attraction, this was pretty impressive. Some large, modern buildings house all the operations of Meteor Crater. Entrance lobby, ticket area, stairways/elevators up, theater, museum, a large gift shop, crater-viewing areas and a Subway restaurant where I had lunch!

As I was there to see the crater, up I went. To the top. There is an enclosed viewing area, air-conditioned and protected from the elements, as well as several platforms you can walk to in order to get a great view of the crater. It’s pretty impressive no matter where you see it from.
