Even if you've actually been to Stonehenge, this replica will remind you of the real thing. Made from local limestone, the ring is the actual size of the real Stonehenge, though the height of some of the blocks are a little shorter. It does have something the real thing doesn't have, Permian Basin fossils in the stones, and also a number of interpretive markers.
Well signed, it is an easy drive from nearby I-20, and if you travel through the Odessa area, you should stop and get your photo taken, though with the rocks under foot instead of the rich thick grass of the English countryside, it won't quite be the same.
There is plenty of parking, and it is open around the clock.
