4 days in Roswell Itinerary

Famed as the site of a purported UFO crash in 1947, the Roswell of today offers much more than alien research opportunities.

Change things up with these side-trips from Roswell: Carlsbad (The Artist Gallery & Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park), Ruidoso (Spas & Ruidoso Downs Race Track) and Carlsbad Caverns National Park (in Carlsbad Caverns National Park). There's still lots to do: see the sky in a new way at Roswell Museum, appreciate the extensive heritage of Downtown Historic District, examine the collection at International UFO Museum and Research Center, and get a taste of the local shopping with Roswell Space Center.
