Entrance to The Thing? The Thing!

What is The Thing? No spoiler alert here, you just need to shell out the $1 and see for yourself. I can't really explain it, it's that weird. There is a random mishmash of cool things in each of the three buildings, so there is someThing for everyone. Bonus, there are The Thing t-shirts as well as other paraphernalia.

The Thing has been puzzling travelers in Arizona since the 1960s, although each of the three buildings in its roadside museum contain cryptic exhibits.

The Thing?

This is a great place for some family fun! We spent 2 hours eating lunch, filling the gas tank, shopping, and of course the tour! The "Thing" is very cool! My husband and I and our two teenage girls left in a much better mood than when we arrived!

I'm the type of person who will stop to see a giant ball of yarn just to say I've been there. But even if I weren't that type, The Thing is still worth the look. It's not just The Thing you will see, but other items and oddities. In fact...(I'm a 39 year old man)...a couple of the oddities still give me a sense of unease....not so much the artifacts themselves...but the fact that someone had to create them. Seriously, worth the trip -- and it's just off the highway.
