Hole N" The Rock

11037 South Highway 191 · Moab, UT

Why you should go…

Albert Christensen spent twelve years drilling and blasting this 5,000 square foot home into a sandstone cliff, and the family moved in in 1952. A short guided tour takes you through its fourteen rooms, with carved shelving, a concrete bathtub set into the rock and a 65-foot chimney drilled through the sandstone. Outside you find an exotic zoo, Lyle Nichols metal sculptures, vintage neon signs and a trading post.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
