This place was so cute! The knick knacks are super expensive but they have a slide inside for kids to play on while you shop. The real jewel of this place is the room in the back where you can take the best pictures of you hanging out with aliens.
Its a great place to stop and take a break if you need out of the car! It is about 15 minutes out of the way from I-25. Weekends and holidays it can be very busy.
We just went and it was great! Best part of our trip. We did the natural entrance in, walked the big room, then took the elevator up. It took about 3 1/2 hours total. The King's Palace tour was sold out for that day and the next, I didn't feel it was that busy so I would call ahead if you plan on doing a tour. We took our dog, pets are not allowed to stay in your vehicle if the temp is above 70 degrees. We have a Great Dane, their cages are not huge he was only able to enter and lay down but I know he was more comfortable then being left in the heat. It only cost $10.00 to kennel him. The entrance fee was $10.00/ adult, kids are free and the pass is good for three days.
