Reviews of Alibates Flint Quarries Visitor Center
"Interesting!! Well-curated! Activities for all ages. Very cool ranger. We need more interpretive sites like this in our country. Lots of easy RV parking. Trails and gardens."
"Great little stop I took the quick hike around a hillside. The guided tour wasn't available when I got there but the lady working was very knowledgeable. They have a small gift shop if you're close stop by and visit"
"Our guide ben was fun and entertaining. Be aware that you can only see the quarries if you go on the tour. Easy one mile hike with lots of information breaks in the shade a long the way. I recommend getting there for the 10 am walk."
"WOWZER what a pleasant surprise! I was a little worried that it would be boing for my hubby (as I love all things out of doors) he was even impressed. The two people who work there were super informative and very cool. I highly recommend you come on out and emerge yourself in the history of this beautiful area. L arming about the natives who lived here was very interesting. Plus it’s just breathtaking out here."
"I enjoyed my tour here. To see the quarries, you *must* take a guided tour, which took about two hours. My guide was knowledgeable and gave an interesting tour. The quarries themselves are pretty modest, but considering they were dug by hand with "shovels" made out of a bison's shoulder blade, a modest size would be expected. The tour would be most interesting to someone with an interest in archaeology or geology. Currently, the tours are offered at 10AM and 1PM. The morning tour might be better this time of year for cooler temps."
