About this property
Hangar 18 @ Area 51 | Themed | Pet Friendly
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.
Escape Properties are here as a tool during your stay, but we try to stay out of your way as you enjoy your vacation. If you need us we are here!
Located in historic downtown Hurricane UT (about 20 min. from Zion National Park main entrance). Minutes to Quail Lake or Sand Hollow Lake. Close to restaurants, grocery stores and antique shops.
You will have access to the entire home and common areas.
Pool and Pool Area: This amenity consists of a play pool with a volleyball net, a shaded shamu shelf wading area as well as a large hot tub. The pool is common space area and is enclosed in a private fenced area with locking gates. DO NOT PROP gate doors open at any time.
NOTE: The hot tub is accessible year-round and is easy to heat. The pool is heated for Presidents Day weekend through spring break as well as the month of October as well as the Thanksgiving weekend. Pool may or maynot be heated for Christmas and New year holidays subject to ground and air temps. IF you rent the entire micro resort, the pool can be heated for an additional fee. We do not heat the pool in the summer months.
Parking: There is plenty of room for 3 cars wide and 2 cars deep if needed in front of Hangar 18 as well as one space for a boat/ATV trailer. The city does not allow guests to park on the street.
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.
