You know, you really have to admire the story and details they worked into the silly alien/dinosaur saga. It's very entertaining stuff.

The Thing! Was the very first fast food restaurant hostess in history! She was alien true, but she legally filed for citizenship!

You really have to admire the creativity of the people creating this museum.

Why do I believe this alien story more than what’s written in our actual history books?

Jake, this is coming from the heart, you need to spend some time with Jen, one on one without the camera, without the audience, without worry. After watching Jen's videos she absolutely all heart, sweet and lovely. VALENTINES 💝 is coming up and shouldspend personal and quiality time with her dude. We can wait for another video.

I went there once in the late 1970s. It less in around five different buildings in back of the gift shop, all around the size of a 1 or 2 car garage or a large shed. There were stepping stones and arrows leading from one building to the next. It didn’t have any cohesive story, certainly not aliens. If was just odd curios and old antique equipment. The Thing was a mummy, but I don’t recall it looking so alien. Mostly it looked old and dead.

In the box. Items that it might hold. Keys, coins, a special ring, your bubblegum overnight, a marble or marbles. A bag of dice,your tooth for the tooth fairy a rock, a seashell, matches, a watch, or possibly a small sidekick being with their sleeping gear, or something else ...

The storyline for The Thing museum reminds me of the Dino Riders toyline from the 80's. The 2 warring extraterrestrial factions come to Earth, the good guys (which resemble humans) befriend the dinosaurs and the bad guys (which resemble humanoid snakes, sharks, bugs etc) control them with mind control helmets. In either case the dinosaurs receive armor and laser weapons and battle ensues.

You put a THING in the THING box, of course!

I went through the old, dilapidated museum. Wow, they brought their ‘A’ game.

Jacob is primarily a “car driving” blogger as a former hawai’ian resident, I can assure you that 2500 miles from the West Coast is not auto friendly . Airfare, high hotel fares, huge car rental and expensive gas make Hawai’i a very very very costly trip- plus there are 5 different islands to visit!

I remember going to the thing as a teenager, and driving through arizona I decided to stop just the other day. And I am OBSESSED. I cannot believe how much they revamped this exhibit and the theory of human/alien/dinosaur ancestry they concocted. It's amazing and I highly recommend everyone driving on the 10 to come see the new and improved THING.

My husband said that The Thing reminded him of the Dino-Riders cartoon, haha.

We need more mad places like the Thing museum in the world, it's daft but its a fun detour.

Tourist traps like this are cool , you just have to watch them seriously! I stopped at a place @ I70 and RT 191 in Utah they had the pump price covered when I started to fill my truck with Diesel I noticed how fast the $$$$ went up but the Gallons were really slow. I found they were charging $7.00 a gallon!!! The average price in the area was in the $4 range??? So be careful some of these places are run by desperate people for a lack of better words
