Worth visiting in Roswell. 5$ for an almost hour long presentation. All shows on space. Add this to your list when in Roswell!

Roswell Museum - Vibrant paintings

Roswell Museum

We visited Roswell just to say we'd been there. The UFO Museum turned out not to be worth a stop,…read morebut the Roswell Museum & Art Center is a top-notch small regional museum. It has interesting exhibits of New Mexico and Southwestern art, along with a surprising amount of artifacts from Robert Goddard's life and pioneering work in rocketry. It was unexpected to find a museum of this quality in a small town. I especially enjoyed the paintings by Billy Schenck and the black and white architectural photographs of New Mexico subjects by Robert Christensen. There are several galleries of permanent exhibits, along with a number of rotating exhibits. Admission is by donation. Parking is plentiful in a lot next to the museum, and it's free.

The Roswell Museum is a good place to learn all about the Roswell "weather balloon" incident…read more DISCLAIMER**** Although there are some videos you can press and watch throughout the museum, expect to be READING A TON. If you're not much of a reader, you don't get the benefit of the full value of the museum but still definitely interesting to check out for just 7 bucks. There are clean restrooms here and a fun simulation as well as an awesome gift shop carrying lots of alien themed items. One thing that was very interesting is the Research center. I believe it's free without admission ( they accept donations). You can go inside and it's essentially a library with UFO and paranormal themed books, as well as a separate room for sci fi books and another room with more incident reports and such to look at. It's pretty neat and I wish I had more time to sit and read a few of the interesting books they had. In short, this place is more fun for adults than for kiddos but if the kiddos can read it may be interesting for them.

Fantastic Experience!! The staff are fun and friendly…read moreI love the interactive displays It was truly creepy, and really exciting! I will be back again! Great value Thank you so much!

Not counting our hotel , or shopping or eating , this was the activity we spent the most money on…read morein our time in Roswell, and it was by far the least worth it. I was really taken aback because of all the good Yelp reviews. I don't know if I am missing something or I came on a bad day but this is definitely not worth it in my opinion, especially when there are so many other fun things to do close by. When you enter The Alien Zone there is a tiny gift shop in the front and the girl behind the counter was watching a movie on her laptop. We asked for two tickets and paid $17.32. She pointed to the curtain and said "You're fine to go back and check it out. You can touch all of the props and take pictures." Once we walked through the curtain, I thought we were getting pranked. There was a wall full of toys like aliens and rats and spiders but they are all behind netting that has been zip tied together, so you can't touch any of it. Then you see a few displays with aliens that look like they are left over from some old escape room or something. Underwhelming is an understatement. We figured since we had already paid, we might as well try to have some fun, but it is so dark in the room that It's difficult to get a good photo. There are only two rooms and once we got into the second room it got really really warm. At the very end they have a lab coat that you can put on for photo ops I guess but we were literally sweating, so we just left. If you are reading reviews to decide which things are worth doing and which things are not, definitely put this on your not list. The UFO spacewalk is just a block or two away, it's less expensive, and way more fun. There are also plenty of alien photo ops all around the city, including the visitor center, that don't cost a penny.

I'll start by saying I do not believe in aliens. I do not believe in conspiracy theories. Yet I am…read moreobsessed with aliens and UFO's. As soon as we decided to come to New Mexico - I knew I had to come Roswell to the UFO museum. Since I am a bit obsessed with the Roswell incident. You know the weather balloon crash. So I get in the museum and I start reading everything and listening to all the testimony. And I actually started to believe that it wasn't a weather balloon. Until I read the statement from the funeral parlor director. Supposedly the army officers requested 4' caskets. Really - aliens? And your big concern is the size of the casket? They can't go in a regular size one?? Besides we all know that the aliens get stored in the lab at Area 51. In glass jars.

I was in town visiting family and of course I had to check the UFO museum out! Everything in…read moreRoswell is super cheap if you're from CA. So the $7 entrance fee was a super deal! All you have to do is be curious to come here. They have everything on display chronologically, some interesting visual displays, and it's a self guided with lots of captivating stories and tangible materials as it relates to the existence of aliens and UFO's. I went through here in about an hour. It would take you much longer if you read everything on display. Lots of the stories on the timeline are fascinating. I thought it was well put together and should be thrilling for the alien enthusiasts. After checking out all the museum displays, there's a decent sized gift shop offering various types of merchandise. I got a cool fridge magnet as a souvenir for visiting this infamous museum. If you ever come to Roswell, whether you are into or believe in aliens, you have to visit the UFO Museum. It represents what Roswell is known for, and it's just an overall interesting experience with everything chronologically displayed nicely.
