Oooof - the theater needs help…read more The theaters are dirty. It seems like they don't have enough staff to take care of tickets AND clean the theaters. Popcorn on the floor, tissues on the seats, left over drinks in the cup holders... This place is a bit banged up. I didn't even check the bathrooms. I think COVID has really hit this place hard. I'd still come and support the theater so they can get more staff to work here! Don't forget: $5 Tuesdays!! Just a forewarning: it's a bit dirty.

Enter Galaxy 8 Cinema Allen Theaters the perfect spot to watch a flick without getting abducted. This place has all the classic theater vibes, but with a Roswell twist. You sit down, the lights dim, and suddenly you half-expect a little green guy in the seat next to you asking for popcorn. The seats are comfy, the sound hits just right, and honestly it's been a while since I actually enjoyed a movie this much. Even the popcorn seemed like it had a secret, alien-approved seasoning. If you're in town, make this your last stop. You might not see aliens on the screen, but you'll leave with a grin, a satisfied snack, and that warm "small-town theater magic" feeling. Plus, where else can you say you saw a movie in Roswell without worrying if the projectionist is a Martian?

Visiting from out of state and running out of cheesy alien exhibits, we decided to stop in for a…read moremovie. First, I'm taking into consideration that this is a small town. Which usually means you don't have the best selection of theaters. And this particular theater isn't horrible. It's actually fairly clean and well kept. And the prices are somewhat less than other theaters. But it going downhill from there. Popcorn, sodas, and candy are still not cheap by any means. And everything is basically self-serve. Popcorn is dispensed from a huge glass box. Get your own butter. The popcorn was burned and stale. Fountain drinks were as expected. It's soda. The theater we were in did at least have updated and comfortable leather seating, which reclined. In the reclined position they were all loose. And felt as though you were rocking in the chair. For some reason, there is even a USB port in each seat. So you can keep your phone charged and make sure you don't miss a call or text during the movie. Clearly, sarcasm, but it's there, nonetheless. The theater was also poorly designed. Period. It's very narrow and long. There is a crazy amount of space between each row. Wasted space. Which further accentuates the fact that if in any other than the front two rows, feels as though you're super far from the smallish screen. Light protrudes from the entryway. The lights were not dimmed enough during the movie. Proving to be quite distracting for anybody in the back rows. Fortunately, we were able to move down a few rows to avoid what would have been an unbearable annoyance from the lights and tiny screen. Small screen combined with long narrow theater is not a good combo. Audio also wasn't great. Sounds like they were overdriving low-range PA speakers. Very bright and harsh sound from the horns. Surround effect was decent. There was some bass to be had; not bad there. Once again, I do get the small town theater expectations. But in the future, I'd just wait until we were in a better theater with a proper movie-going experience. Keeping in mind the reason why folks spend money on a movie in the first place is the experience.

The theater can also be rented out for special events. Alamogordo Music Theatre performs musicals here twice a year. The building was originally a movie theater, that has been converted and gradually improved over the years. The technical equipment (sound, lighting, stage) is somewhat bare-bones but adequate. All the seats are good, but the center orchestra seats toward the front are the best. The theater also puts on a series of tailgate concerts every summer at the New Mexico Museum of Space History. Ticket prices are reasonable ($10-$40), in part because the theater is a non-profit and is subsidized by generous local financial support.

Currently, this fairly large building is located on highway US-70 near Ruidoso Downs. When we were there on May 5, 2024, they were having a moving sale. Everything was marked 10% aside from a large metal Zia symbol I found on the back patio area. It didn't have a tag and I was offered 30% off, which I gladly took. That made it $24.50. I forgot to ask where they have plans to move & their timeframe, sorry. While their main items sold were wooden carved statues & metal art, they also sell an array of jewelry, furniture, pottery, & knickknacks. Cash or cards accepted.

Definitely a good pick after going to the International UFO Museum. Super awesome staff took good care of my father who hasn't got the best stability and uses a rolling style walker. This was also his first VR experience (he's 77), they were so patient with him as well as checked on him throughout the experience. I just wish the "pods" had better seating but this was really fun. My husband and two sons watched both the videos if there were more departures they probably would have stayed for all of them. The gift shop was more geared towards the littler travelers. Definitely recommend!

The price does not match the museum and walking path. The museum part was small and interactive in some parts and offered information about the solar system. There is a couple of videos you can watch but you have to ask the front to press play. There is a walking path to various telescopes with information and history but you can not enter any of the buildings. There is a small gift shop with books, toys, and apparel.
