  • This museum has a lot of exhibits about possible alien encounters, including the 1947 Roswell incident. It’s interesting and the exhibits are well-written, but it’s probably not for small kids...

  • This place is great! It was easy to get in.(no more than a few minutes to get in) and affordable (less than $10 I believe). Also, lots of information on the Roswell and other incidents including people involved, where they took place, what happened, affidavits, impact on the entertainment industry (movies, tv), cool artwork inspired by films or aliens in general, a few games to play outside the gift shop, etc. The gift shop has a great variety of items like t-shirts, stress saucers (like a stress ball shaped like a flying saucer), bouncy balls, shot glasses, etc. Took forever for me to choose a few haha. Plus, if you have a lot of time, they have a library full of books and records (didn't examine them too much, but if aliens or Roswell are your thing, they might be worth looking into!
  • I was so excited to go and I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved the library area which contained so much information from witnesses of the 1947 crash. Very cool to read them all. The museum was interesting as well with lots on information on some famous abductees, implants, etc. also some fun quirky things as well. I would absolutely recommend this place. Go when you have lots of time, there is very much to see and read.
