5 reviews for America's Stonehenge
10 bucks entrance fee!! That's a pretty steep price to see a few heaps of rocks. For a couple of dollars I'd say ok, maybe it's worth it, but 10 is a total rip off.
Don't expect anything remotely like a neolithic site you'd see in Europe - Stonehenge or Newgrange this ain't. The structures here are on much smaller scale, don't approach the level of sophistication the Stonehenge label might lead you to expect. And as Jocelyn G mentioned already, the history of the site is somewhat questionable, since at the very least the site has been altered to support a previous owner's pet theory.
And don't forget the bug spray - there were hordes of mosquitoes on the prowl, especially round the Oracle Chamber site.

Price is rediculous for what the place offers. Your money is better spent elsewhere. A reasonable price would be 3-5$, not 10$. It really is just a bunch or rocks setup. Nothing special.
If you can't travel to the real one, try the NH version. This is actually a real ancient spot, and you get to walk right through, and learn all about it. It's a great place for adults or kids, and there's a mini golf place up the street if you want to make a day of fun. You get to learn, see old things, and be outside, all at the same time!

Quite an interesting local historical site right in Salem, NH. It (was ) is a Pre-historic settlement . They start you off at a small museum with a video to get one oriented. Then you get a map and follow the wooded trails up the hills and stop along the way to see old stone walls, foundations, wells, and sun and season alignment calendars and so forth. They also have cute animals like lamas and ponies. You end back at the museum where they also have a pretty decent gift shop. Its a fun low commitment way to spend a few hours with friends or family when they visit. The entry price for an adult was like $9 bucks so you can not beat it.
