Specialty Museums · Gift & Specialty Shops · State Parks
Famed as the site of a purported UFO crash in 1947, the Roswell of today offers much more than alien research opportunities. A handful of museums and arts venues lend this small desert city robust cultural life, while lakes and hills outside town provide recreational opportunities and a chance to encounter Southwestern wildlife. Some of New Mexico's top attractions remain accessible on day trips, making a Roswell vacation attractive to visitors of both the terrestrial and extraterrestrial nature. Add Roswell and other United States destinations to your travel plans using our United States trip itinerary maker site.
