When I saw that a Stonehenge replica was an Odessa attraction, I feared it might be a cheap tourist trap. In fact, this free, public monument on the UT Permian Basin campus was built by the college and students as an exact replica as the original, including jts celestial orientation. It has multiple signs explaining this Stonehenge and the original. It’s both educational and visually appealing as the replica is built of white limestone blocks that gleam in the sun; a contrast with the original Stonehenge’s dark stones. Definitely worth the 15 minutes it takes to walk around it and read the signs and take photos.

Fun stop for kids and adults. Unlike the real Stonehenge you can walk all around inside this full size replica. Kids had fun climbing up on slabs and running around playing tag. While we were there many other groups stopped in to see it as well; quite a popular site to take in. Free with nearby parking.

Tood a day trip from Arlington to Odessa just to see this. I have seen the original a couple of times so this sparked my interest when I found out about it. It was worth the drive. Now I don't have to fly my wife to England to see. :) We went back at dusk to take pictures when the night lights come on. For a replica, it is pretty well done. Just need a fish and Chip restaurant nearby.

I stopped here mostly to break up a long trip across Texas. However, it really is quite interesting. They have signs explaining how engineering students designed and built the thing and comparing it to the original in England. That was almost as interesting as the stones themselves. It's not too far off the interstate, and it is worth a stop.

We arrived in Odessa/Midland area a bit earlier than planned so after our visiting the Presidential Archives we went here. It is interesting but not a lot of explaination about why. The stones look really new vs old like the real deal. Great area for kids to play. One of those things to do once and say I did it.

If you're driving to Big Bend or West on I20 and looking for a quick side trip to break up the drive, stop in Odessa, TX. On the campus of UT Permian Basin, they have built a replica of Stonehenge out of concrete. Worth the stop and it is on scale as well. Great instagram photo opp and good place to have the kids run off some steam.

Odessa is not exactly a tourist destination, with its oil fields, fracking and gas it's pretty average. So to find a Stonehenge replica was a pleasant surprise, almost laughable, really! Allow about 10 minutes to take photos and read the info and just enjoy it for what it is.

About 20 minutes to walk around, take pictures and read the displays. There were different circles (inner and outer). The taller stones were quite high, but the inner circle was smaller than I thought it would be.

We stopped in Odessa on our way back from our New Mexico road trip and found this replica. It's a lovely piece of art and a great place for unique photos. I wouldn't travel to Odessa just for this replica. However, if you're on a road trip and looking for quirky sights and you're in the area this woukd be a great stop. Plus it's FREE!
