Meteor Crater is located off Interstate 40 in Arizona. I actually went there last summer. It's huge! They have a few telescopes that let you look across it and if you look in the very center, there is a life-size model of a astronaut with an American flag (only a tiny speck when not viewed with a telescope). It just shows you how deep it is. Go here for more info:

It is true that it is in Northern Arizona but it is actually called the Barringer Crater.

Actually, the meteor crater you're thinking of is in northern Arizona.
You can see a picture of it here:
