Meteor City
Experience hands-on family fun with Meteor City’s Three Attractions bundle, offering a unique blend of dinosaur drives, fossil digs, and interactive crafts just outside Winslow, Arizona.
Meteor City is a family-focused entertainment destination that combines hands-on activities, unique photo moments, and classic carnival fun. The centerpiece attraction is a drive-thru dinosaur park with over 30 life-sized dinosaurs, including recognizable species such as Stegosaurus and Raptors, allowing visitors to explore prehistoric displays from the safety and comfort of their own vehicle.
Meteor City offers a variety of ticketed experiences: Ride‑A‑Dino provides an animatronic T‑Rex ride and dedicated photo opportunities (note: the final ride operates until half an hour before closing). Gemstone Mining & Fossil Dig uses sifter trays and sluicing troughs and includes four distinct pay-dirt selections; each purchase comes with an identification card and a keeper bag for discovered specimens. Catch‑A‑Ducky recreates the classic carnival game—participants use a net to capture floating rubber ducks and reveal numbers that correspond to guaranteed prizes. Shoot Out the Star offers a BB machine gun activity with 100 shots where players aim to hit Red Stars for prize chances. Paint‑A‑Bug lets visitors create graffiti-style art on three vintage VW vehicles, including a classic VW bus.
To simplify planning and increase value, Meteor City sells bundled options—Three Attractions, Four Attractions, and Five or More Attractions—so families can combine multiple experiences in one visit. Clear activity descriptions and included items (for example, keeper bags and identification cards for mining) help visitors know what to expect. Meteor City focuses on accessible, family-friendly entertainment with interactive elements, collectible takeaways, and memorable photo moments.
