Hangar 18 @ Area 51 | Themed, Pet Friendly Micro-Resort | Near Zion

After decades of government overspending and misappropriations, this recently defunded and declassified facility has been made available for your next adventure. Hangar 18 is a little-known nondescript building nestled in the quiet streets of downtown historic Hurricane UT and home to a few of our national secret spoofs! Come create memories with the family and have fun with the conspiracy spoofs throughout the project.

This converted steel building has been transformed into an amazing family fun themed spoof on the 1950's alien conspiracy (think Men in Black and bring your tin foil hats). Kids of all ages will enjoy a photo op with Ned and Blart, our two detained friends from the Galaxy next door, and take a tour of their classic Illudium PU 38 powered moon hopper spacecraft. Feel free to engage in a nerf gun war through the secret ventilation shafts and build up a static charge sliding down the big indoor slide or playing for high-score on the classic Atari video game of "Space Invaders".

Inside the real UFO replica enjoy your hand at xBox's flight simulator or one of many other games (game pass) on the bridge - buckle in, we do expect turbulence!

Hangar 18 is part of the micro-resort known as Area 51. Area 51 comprises of 4 individual nightly rental units and share an amazing fun pool area with massive hot tub and pool with a shamu shelf splash area as well as volleyball and swim area. You can rent one unit for a quick escape or all four for that amazing family reunion. Located in the historic downtown area of Hurricane 30 Min from Zion National Park, 10 min. to Sand Hollow/Quail State Parks and Sand Dunes as well as 20 min. to St George.

Cool location and unique and cool property
This is a 100% unique space that will have you and your crew smiling from the jump. We made it our base of operations for visits to Zion National park, Bryce Canyon NP, Snow Canyon State Park and other area attractions and it was a convenient location for them and not far from our flights into Vegas. The design is really incredible and a kids paradise with the tunnels, nerf guns and video game room. And we all appreciated the roominess, 5 bedrooms and mega TV in the "Great Hall." As unique as the property is, it's not impeccable. The dining room table was damaged, the kitchen was not put together with the same care and craftsmanship as the alien spaceship bunkhouse (dishwasher and oven interfere, ice maker didn't work, old pan needing replacement) and the hot tub isn't available 24*7 but requires communication to owner and wait for heating. Total first world problems I know. My point is this is a super fun place at a relatively high price point but it's not a super luxury option, so eyes wide open and you'll have a great time here.

Kids love UFOs
Grandkids and kids loved it. Everyone had a great time. Young ones didn’t want to leave to go to the national park. Even adults got into the action with nerf gun wars, alien invasions etc. Plenty of space for large group. Would definitely recommend for family and friends trip with kids of all ages. We will surely be back.

My family and friends loved hanger 18. We would love to spend another vacation there. It was pet friendly, had good amenities, great location, and private. The only thing that I would like to see is the hot tub a little hotter. Then this hidden gem would be the best place ever to call home for a couple days.

Family vacation
House is nice and lots of room really fun for the kids It wasn’t clean it was dog and cat hair everywhere we are allergic to cats so wasn’t fun for us. If you are going to let people bring pets in to the house a least make sure is clean before renting it out we paid our cleaning fee but the house wasn’t clean for us I think it’s not fair

Amazing Stay
What a wonderful home! Besides the obvious cool factor (that my kids lost their minds over!), the house was extremely organized, clean, and well equipped. Probably the best house we've ever rented. We stayed 2 nights, but everyone would have loved to stay longer. The pool and hot tub were lovely, along with the grill and patio. I can't think of anything I'd add to make it better.
